First cycling memory
Proudly riding my pale blue Gresham Flyer bike to school. It was my pride and joy!
Favourite bike
I have a few, but my stand out is my Rapha Condor Sharp Team Leggero. She’s a beauty!
Top climb
I’ve just joined the Club des Cingles for those that ride up Mont Ventoux from all 3 sides in one day. I have to say that after that experience I have a new respect for the Geant as it was pretty tough. Ventoux still remains my favourite col though!
One thing on your bucket list
I would like to take part in the Race Across America (RAAM) as a rider in either a 2 or 4 man team. I’ve acted as a navigator and mechanic for two teams to date and am now at a point where I’d like to ride it myself.
A special skill you bring on tour
Prior to working as a guide I had a career in the military and emergency services. A special skill would have to be that there isn’t much I haven’t seen!
Favourite Ride & Seek tour gastronomic experience
A plate of escargots in Meursault washed down with a fine Burgundy wine chosen by Bruno on the Caesar tour.
Languages
English and my French and Italian is coming on. I aspire to be a polyglot, but the road is long!
Ride & Seek tours you lead REMOVE??
Caesar, Hannibal, 3 Islands and Napoleon
