Is the first time you have had support from the Dave Rayner Fund?
Yes, this is the first time i will be receiving Dave Rayner funding.
What is your cycling history ?
I got a bike a Claud Butler Reynolds 531 when I was 14 from one of my Dad’s mates for £50, it was bright yellow, but I didn’t care, it was a road bike! I went on to join a local club, 1st Chard Wheelers, on the recommendation of my Head of Year at school, John Hughes, who just happened to be amateur road champ in 1991. I did just that and got the bug. John helped me lots getting into the sport and when I started getting serious about cycling, he put me into contact with Matt Brammeier who has been helping me since.
What team are you joining in 2016?
In 2016 i’ll be doing a second year with Team Corley Cycles who have been very supportive.
Tell us a bit about your team.
Corley cycles are a bike shop based in Milton Keynes with a great racing heritage. It’s owned by 1978 pro road champ, Phil Corley, who I get on with fantastically as we share lots of common interests! Everyone at Corleys are fantastic and it’s a real community spirit.
Do they have they a website/FaceBook or Twitter we can link to?

What is your race programme looking like?
My race programme is very busy with races every weekend. I start March in England with 3 races, then I’m spending 2 weeks in Belgium from 25th of March over Easter break where I am going to fit in as much racing as I can. When I get back I will carry on with the racing in the UK before heading the Belgium in June once my Exams are over.
