Why I Ride

Wow, no short answer to that one. Great source of endorphins, great socialisation and bonding, keeps body fit and operational, striving for physical goals is a never-ending challenge, some people need that.

What I Ride

Colnago Concept, OPEN MIN.D road, OPEN U.P. gravel, Trek Emonda and six or seven other lesser used rides.

My BarrUltra Project

To complete the Silver State 508, Reno, Nevada.

I entered but didn’t finish last year.

What it would mean to achieve this goal

The achievement of a goal at the edge of my capabilities and the proper creation and implementation of a well-crafted plan to do so.

My greatest anticipated obstacle

Preparing my body properly and spot-on fueling to keep the muscles firing.

How I am mentally & physically preparing to overcome it

Working with the team at Barr Ultra

What endurance has taught me

It is amazing what your body will do if your mind lets it.

Favourite treat-food on the bike

Just discovered Spring Canaberry gels, delicious and the old standbys, chocolate brownies, bananas and Hershey’s bars with almonds.
