What was your first bike?
I was pictured on a 3 wheeler aged about 2 - probably a Raleigh as I was dragged up in Nottingham
How do you know Dan?
He's the boss
Before you started training, when was the last time you cycled?
I've been regularly cycling for about 15 years. Before that I cycled in my early teens .A few epic journeys to Wales with my mate Philip, loaded up with camping gear.
Why have you decided to do this challenge?
I'm still not sure that I want to do it! Even for a regular cyclist like me, this is a significant challenge! I also feel that I can help support the other less experienced guys/gals, particularly Irene, the missus who has had a hard time of it recently, with her own fight against cancer.
What are you most looking forward to?
The hills and being out in the wonderful British summer weather; or, in other words suffering, and seeing other people suffer! There's both a sadist and a masochist in every cyclist.
What are you most worried about?
I don't worry.
What do you want to achieve from this experience?
Fun/camaraderie and plenty of dosh for the charities!
How are you preparing for the challenge?
'Carbo, Fat, and Protein loading' I think it's called eating too much and putting weight on!
Tell us something interesting about yourself?
Despite being devastatingly good looking, I'm actually quite clever.
Who do you most hope to be mistaken for whilst cycling?
Lance Armstrong. Only coz I quite fancy Sheryl Crow. What, they've split up?- Doh
