Rides are subject to change.
Has there ever been a life-changing moment in your life?
Every moment in life is life-changing, technically.
How did you start cycling?
I was coerced into by my training partner (on the board). I wasn't the biggest fan initially, but then I finally saw the light! What an awesome sport.
What is your special talent?
Language, oh I guess boardsailing too. Wait, delete that – Cycling.
Why are you an Epic Rider?
Because as per the dictionary definition, I am epic. – adjective: of, relating to, or characteristic of the deeds and adventures of heroic or legendary figures.
Who is your favorite cyclist?
Wow, just one? Too hard. Fabian Cancellara, Paolo Bettini, Frank Schleck, Andy Schleck, Jens Voigt, Phillipe Gilbert.
What was your first bike?
Can't actually remember, probably something with trainer wheels and 12cm top tube. As far as road bikes go though, a Canyon Ultimate CF SLX.
Why do you prefer cycling over other sports activities?
Because it's pure, exhilarating, and tremendously satisfying; what you get out of it is directly correlated to what you put in; but most of all, because it's fun!
What is the biggest dream in your life?
I have many dreams (well actually, aspirations would be more accurate) in life, but let's stick to cycling ones shall we? Riding the Tour alongside the greats of today would be amazing –yes this one is strictly, a dream.
