I have been riding motor bikes from an early age and in the last three years have been racing at a high level all across the United Kingdom and Europe.

I have always been interested in mechanics and high adrenalin sports such as bike racing. I am a qualified HGV mechanic currently working in Cardiff so that I can concentrate  more on my racing.

Most people think of racing as a hobby and you just jump on the bike and go but if you are serious about the racing like myself, it is a way of life in every way from what you eat to how you train.

The sport endurance side can be very demanding, you need to swim, cycle, gym-train and eat a good balanced diet.

Whilst racing you can take high energy drinks, gels and muesli bars, this will boost the system whilst competing, like all sports you only get out what you are prepared to put in.
