Favourite ride:

I enjoy them all really but for some reason, I do like the Pine Mountain one.

Dream bike:

see above, but with a matching level of fitness..

Number of crashes due to failing to unclip your foot in time:

At least a couple, maybe more, and some have been in front of the squad so never a good look! But then I am getting old so keep forgetting to unclip!

Heat, Die Hard (the first one), Jackass – all the romantic ones!!

The Spice Girls.. although not necessarily for their musical brilliance..

Obviously cycling and swimming related activities including triathlon. All other sport in particular football, i.e. the World game you play with your feet that some weird individuals call 'soccer'!
