What is your cycling history?
My dad got me into cycling at a young age, He used to race at a high level. He regularly took my brother and I to watch the Tour De France. So it was pretty normal I followed in his footsteps. I did my first race with Towy Rides at my local track in Carmarthen at the age of 11 and was hooked.
