What bike do you ride?
Trek 1400. Its nothing flash but it does everything I need it to. I do have carbon envy though....
What would be your dream bike?
Something carbon fibre and light.
What's your day job?
Site Works Manager for Queensland Energy Resources (QER) who have the oil shale operation. I have overall responsibility for site and all activities on site. I am a mechanical engineer by profession.
What's your favourite ride?
The Redland Bay ride in Brisbane. Its about 82k and has a long stretch of undulating hills through countryside before coming out beside the water near Victoria Point.
Most memorable biking experience?
Doing the Mt Nebo ride, near Brisbane, just before returning to Gladstone this year. There are harder rides around for a hack like me but it was a good feeling to complete the 19k climb in a reasonable time.
Least memorable biking experience?
Having a massive stack on bitumen when I was about 7 or 8. I ended up with gravel rash up most of the left side f my body and a fair bit off my face. After that would be Tuesday mornings pacelines. They hurt a lot too.
Bike rider you admire the most?
You mean apart from Kate, Matt, Marty, Whiffo and Jamie? Hmmm, I don't really idolise any bike riders but would have to say I admire Cadel Evans for what he has achieved over the last 3-4 years through his own determination and with little support from his team.
