I took up cycling early in 2008, and joined Godalming & Haslemere Velo Club soon after. During that year I met some great guys who are excellent cyclists. They taught me how to ride properly! They even managed to get me to vomit on one particular hill climb!

That year saw me improve my riding slowly but surely. By the end of that year I had committed to my first cycling events, which would soon begin in earnest, early in 2009!
