This certainly throws the theory that mountain bikers are all late 30's IT managers out the window.

I'm 41 or 42 I think, I can never be bothered checking (I have to count forwards from my birthdate to work it out). Technically, I'm an IT manager 😉 But in reality I'm a grade A computer security geek. Proper hands on fighting hackers and stopping people looking at STW from work stuff. It's great and it's terrible and in three weeks I'll be changing it all for a boring job in the government working 9 till 5 making sure all your pension and unemployment money is kept secure.
