Bio: I’ve been riding with the Cowley Road Condors for just over a year. I only joined to get fit for the following year’s downhill mountain biking season, but somehow got hooked on going uphill instead! Joining the Condors has been the best thing I’ve done in years, it got me fit and I made some great friends along the way.
Speciality Looking fast, but not actually being it
Weakness Hills
Favourite wheel (to follow) Jonny’s.. if he’s not wearing his near-transparent shorts
