I hope to ride bikes for as long as I can, always been into bikes for as long as I can remember. I also look to my Dad as inspiration for cycling although he has not always been a cyclist. He basically got pressured by my Mum to go MTBing with me when we were on holiday as my brother pulled because it was raining and I wasn't allowed to go on my own (only 8). Since then he's never looked back and been the most enthusiastic MTBer, always wanting to go on rides with me and my mates and always prepared to drive us around Scotland to try new trails. Last year when he was 64 he did the Etape Calidonia just over a year after he had been diagnosed and treated with prostate cancer. He's not the fastest or the most skillful rider (there a whole load of wrecked rear wheels to prove it in his shed) but he definately enjoys cycling as much as anyone I've met.
