Summary

I am a motor vehicle technician with a passion for the outdoor life, having ridden and raced motor cycles, raced in the southern area mountain bike series in the 1990s,

I often tailor a bike to my needs rather than settling for what the manufacturer has specified, generally a perfectionist

Currently a member of three local mountain bike clubs often helping with guided rides, usually cycling to and from my instructing even to shoebury.

I am a member of Orsett Golf Club and often represent the Veterans team at inter club matches,

enjoy country walks with my 40+ year partner,

recently started growing our some fruit and vegetables

I am confident in my own abilities and able to communicate with pupils in a friendly manor

Skills

I have been riding and racing cycles as an enthusiast since 1984,

building and maintaining my own and other team members cycles,


in 1997 I built a full suspension mountain bike, which I still own, from a bare frame sourcing and fitting bespoke parts


I worked for a British Endurance Championship Racing Team building engines and chassis to the highest standards, during the 8hr races entails keeping the bikes running with maintenance, refuelling and often crash damage, requiring very quick thinking and reactions carrying out repairs as quickly and safely as possible to keep the team in the race


I am able to confidently undertake any aspect of cycle repair both in the workshop and out on the road, although Cytech was not around at the time of my training, no specific cycle qualifications were available at the time, I believe with my 381s I am more than qualified
