I have been a writer for nigh on 20 years, a photographer for 25 years and a mountain biker for 30 years. I have written countless magazine and website features and route guides for the UK mountain bike press, most notably for the esteemed and highly regarded Singletrackworld.
Although I am a Lancastrian, I freely admit that West Yorkshire is my favourite place to ride. Rarely a week goes by without me riding and exploring the South Pennines.

I think this guy is class, an articulate man that knows what he’s doing and is respectful while doing it. I wish him all the best, sincerely. A true person to look up to in the sport.
its a shame he’s missing the world cup, he was looking good. The guy has no look, first his knee now this.
Here’s to a quick healing. I know what he’s saying. (apart from the 50k bit).
Nice friendly dig at the French btw.
Top bloke and what an attitude.
Here’s to a quick recovery…

As someone out injured at the moment, I am really struggling with imagining riding again soon. However, having read this, I’m feeling quite inspired with his attitude.
Bon chance!
