About Me

Hi,

I'm Chris and I'm a downhiller from the UK, although I also like to ride cross-country and freeride too.

I'm an officer in the Royal Air Force (RAF) and a member of the Royal Air Force Cycling Association, racing in the Combined Services Series for the RAF DH Team.

I have recently started to compete in the Scottish Downhill Association DH Series, and I'm looking forward to an exciting 2010 season.

I also intend to compete in the Pearce Cycles DH Series in England and the 2010 Hope Endurance Downhill at Fort William.

I'm currently living in the MTBer's paradise that is northern Scotland and have the luxury of several trail centres (including Fort William) within a couple of hours from me.

I'm looking for all like-minded riders no mater what your level to hook up with.

Q&A - Competition

How did you get started?

I only started competing in DH in 2009, before that I had competed in a few endurance events but after spectating at some DH events and getting a taste for it after a week riding in the Alps, I decided to give it a try.

List your competitive highlights:

Competing in my first SDA race in 2009, and riding the Fort William DH Enduro.

What are you planning for next season?

LOTS of training over the winter (strength training, general fitness and skills work on roots and rocks) and the hopefully putting in an improving performance in the SDA and Pearce Cycles races in 2010. It will be my first full season so I will be focusing on purely learning more about the racing and improving my skills next year.
