BIO

I first started cycling because of my dad. He was a keen cyclist and growing up on Dartmoor was the perfect place to get into MTB. I did my first race when I was 7 and haven't stopped since trying out pretty much every discipline there is, which I’ve found useful when it comes to transferring skills when riding and racing on the road.

NOTABLE CARRER MOMENTS

Bronze medal at the Youth Olympics 2018, Bronze Medal at European MTB Champs 2019, 4x British XC MTB Champion.

CYCLING ASPIRATIONS

This last year was a big learning year for me as it was my first time properly racing on the road. Looking to use what I've learnt and improved on all my results from last year. My long-term goal is to make it to the World Tour level.

IMPACT OF SAINT PIRAN

Joining Saint Piran has been great. I really feel comfortable, confident and valued within the team and get on well with everyone. It's awesome to be working with people like Steve and Ricci who are really passionate and have a lot of experience in the sport. Even if they are on the wrong side of the border!

Life outside cycling

Living in Devon near the coast I enjoy spending time by the sea either fishing or surfing. I grew up being interested in environmental conservation which I studied as an apprenticeship for two years when I left school.
