I am a keen cyclist specialising in three disciplines, mountain-bike, gravel and road riding. I really enjoy long distance endurance cycling, spending all day in the saddle just to see how far I can go. For instance riding from Cannock Chase to the top of Snowdon in a little over 10 hours. I have coached mountain bike skills and been the provider of MIAS courses on Cannock Chase since 2008.

Qualifications

I am currently a MIAS level 5 Instructor and the provider of the MIAS (Mountain-bike Instructors Award Scheme) for Cannock Chase in Staffordshire.  

Along side this I train the UK’s Lowland Search & Rescue teams to enable them to deploy searches using mountain bikes.

I hold further qualifications which enable me to run courses for the Emergency services and our Armed Forces.

I am currently a Cytech Level 2 qualified Mechanic which is the industries recognised qualification for most cycle workshops.

and finally…..

I hold a current CRB check and obviously am First Aid trained.
