Is the first time you have had support from the Dave Rayner Fund? 

This will be my second season on the fund.

What is your cycling history ? 

I have been riding bikes for as long as I can remember. I have been brought up around cycling, with my family owning a local bike shop and mum has been organising and officiating at both national and international events for as long as I can remember.

Having been brought up in cycling all of my life, it was only when I turned 15 that I begin to race, initially with the Manchester Wheelers to which my parents were both past presidents and life members. This year will be my second season in Belgium with Team Handi-Ness (Terra Safety Shoes 2014).

What team are you joining in 2015? Tell us a bit about your team.

In 2015 I will be riding for Team Handi-Ness based in Belgium.

Do they have they a website we can link to?

No but they do have a facebook page :

Are you going on a training camp with the team? 

No
