So about me!
I have been watching bike races since the early 80’s.
One Sunday I was out with my sisters and Mum and Dad and the Milk Race flashed by. I was hooked.
My Dad, who is not a cycling fan, then used to use his holiday to take me to races. We regularly visited the Milk Race, which then became the Kellogg’s Tour and the Wincanton Classic races.
I have ridden a bike for many years, did take a break for about 9 years, but have recently started again. I feel so much better and can’t understand why I stopped. Lazy I guess.
I did dabble with a few time trials when I was at school and a few more mountain bike races after I left but I didn’t really enjoy racing. I was fit enough but I think you are either a competitive person or not. When it comes to bikes, I’m not.
When the Tour of Britain started again in 2004 I started dragging my Dad around the whole country to view every stage start and finish. I would hate to think of the amount of petrol we have used in the last 9 years following races around.
I must thank to one person who allows me to be extremely selfish with my holidays and allow me to indulge my passion.
My wife. Without Jo I wouldn’t go every year. She is a fantastic wife and mother and also very funny, please follow her on twitter @joannacorkill
She also puts up with me disappearing during the summer months to go to as many bike races as I can, over the whole country.
Hold tight it may be a strange ride!
