Hobbies and Interests

• I am a keen hockey player, playing at university and also for my home club in Bury St Edmunds.

• An avid skier and instructor, taking part in many ski trips.
• My main hobby is cycling. I do this competitively, socially and to stay fit. I also have great interest in it not just as a sport but also the technology involved. The bikes that I compete on are all built entirely by myself and I do every bit of maintenance from hub rebuilds, wheel truing, suspension servicing, brake bleeding etc. I also service and repair other people's bikes as a small business.
