Description: Chubby, middle aged, awkward Englishman with incredible socks.
Why I ride: Outside of the bedroom it's the only time I get to slip into a revealing, skin tight, brightly colored outfit whilst wearing socks. Riding mountain bikes is also pretty much up there with the most fun things you can do in life.
Wheel standard preference: Round (I invented that joke by the way)
Goals for the year: Enter some fun races and possibly learn to wheelie better
If I didn’t mountain bike what would I do with my spare time: Pogo sticks. I saw a video on YouTube, there have been some serious developments in Pogo technology.

Category: Complete newbie and loving every minute pedaling on dirt – I am hooked!
Ride: FS Giant Anthem named Athena – thanks to Lisa Costello upgrading her wheels
Favorite Trail: Tuscazoar, Hampton, Dupont, Westcreek, down old Akron-Peninsula
Favorite Quote: “Of all the paths you take in life, make sure a few of them are dirt.” – John Muir, “I just like to smile, smiling’s my favorite.” – Buddy the Elf
Best achievement on a bike: Climbing out of Tuscazoar without putting a foot down, completing the best of DuPont loop, signing up for a freaking race (even if I just rode for fun), forging new friendships
Worst time on a bike: 1st time ever on a trail was way above my abilities at East Rim Phase 1 and it was crowded, rocky, hilly, scary and the anxiety was real! Also literally cried once at The Thorn and once at Lake Hope – again – the anxiety. Oh yeah, OTB at Milton. I can’t praise my patient, talented, fearless husband enough for helping and putting up with me on the bike (thanks, Wayne)!
Song that comes into your head when riding: Lose Yourself – Eminem, No Diggity – Blackstreet, Put One Foot in Front of the Other – Big Bird (when climbing)
Other hobbies: #gooutside, hiking, waterfalls, mountain peaks, wildflowers, Brevard trips, historical fiction, cooking
