Cycling history
I have been a keen cyclist my whole life and have enjoyed riding my bike all over the world. From mountain biking in Whistler, Canada to cycle touring from John O’Groats to Land’s End in the UK. I believe travel by bicycle is the best way to see a place and encourage others to do so if they get the opportunity.
Best country to cycle in
France. Fantastic food and drink alongside some of the best roads to cycle in the world make France number one in my opinion. The mountain biking in the French Alps is pretty awesome too.
Last tour
Porto to Lisbon Bike Tour which combines everything you want in a cycle tour; cycle friendly infrastructure, fantastic food, interesting sights along the way and is book ended by two great cities. Finishing in Lisbon is a highlight.
Next tour
I have my eye on the Dubrovnik to Split Boat & Bike Tour. I’ve always wanted to explore this stretch of Croatian coastline and islands and think a boat & bike tour is the best way to do it!
Best cycling memory
In 2021 I completed my first long distance cycle tour from John O’Groats to Land’s End via the UK Three Peaks with my best mate. Lots of great memories from riding the highest mountain pass in the UK, stumbling across a music festival along our route, and sleeping in bivvy bags on the summit of Snowdon.
Interesting fact
I am a qualified cycle guide and have ridden from London to Paris over 20 times with various groups for charity.
