1. Tell us a bit about yourself
I’m short, hairy and don’t need any arm and leg warmers to get me through the winter months. I think I typify the real HMOTN.
2. What got you into cycling?
Being able to exercise and commute to work in the same time it would normally take me just to get to work.
3. How did you come to join the Easy Riders?
Teflon once said to for me watch out for a group in egg and tomato that will be coming your way sometime in the future. So for 15 years I ploughed Chippo’s back door in the mornings and Luton Highway in the afternoons looking for this illusive group. Then one summer night a shining light appeared at Roseville, it was SatNav! SatNav promptly took me under his wing and the rest is history.
4. Tell us about your bikes.
My work horse is the trusty Giant TCR that I use as my SS for rain, hail and shine commutes. My beloved Big C, The Colnago for those long rides on sunny, dry road days.
5. If you could ride anywhere in the world, where would it be?
Anywhere there are no land locked boats
6. Tell us a riding story.
On a training run with Dominator and SatNav got flogged. Was determined to catch them up at Asquith and with head down (as one does) cycled as hard as I could but forgot about the boat that is always parked 100m north of the station. Lets say I came off second best!
7. Do you have any advice for the riders at the back of the ER peloton?
Look ahead and listen for the call “boat” as that means Flash is near by
8. Lastly, tell us something we don’t know about you
I don’t like hot weather.
