Biography

I have always been interested in both nutrition and fitness from a young age. I used to run and cycle to school regularly and have always been a vegetarian.

I became inspired to start road riding after seeing Chris Froome win the Tour in 2013 and started racing a few years later.

Last year in my gap year I cycled solo across Europe, from Norway to Spain. It was a great trip, experiences all the different cultures, ways of life and landscapes along the way. I enjoy the hill climbs the most at the end of the season.

Q&As

How important is nutrition to you and why?: I have always been a vegetarian so have been interested in nutrition from a young age. I like to know what and where my food has come from and try to eat as naturally as possible.
Greatest achievement so far?: I’m better cycling uphill so hill climbs are always where I perform best. I also found cycling solo across Europe from Norway to Spain last summer a great achievement and adventure!
What’s your favourite meal/recipe?: My favourite meal would be coming home from a ride to some Pumpkin soup, with tasty home-grown Pumpkins!
If you were stuck on a desert island and could take one person and one item, what and who would they be?: Well, it would be fun to race around the island on my bike with Chris Froome!
