Get to Know Us

I’m a wee bit of everything in terms of a rider: I really enjoy the social side, exploring new areas, and I’m always pushing myself to be fitter and faster. Forge London CC helps on all those fronts.

I started cycling during lock down and got totally addicted. After a few rides I was hooked. Not just hooked to riding my bike, but hooked to learning about the sport of cycling in general.

I grew up in a society where cycling was not a thing. Coming to the UK changed my view and style of life.  At first, I was riding my bike to avoid traffic jams and to save time. But during lockdown I started riding more frequently and got into cycling a little more.

I am now primarily a social rider. I come from a running background where I was a fairly successful veteran track runner.

I like a bit of everything from my cycling – seeing new places, spending time with like-minded folks on social rides, structured training to improve my racing, challenging myself – but mostly it’s the sheer joy of being outside!

I have cycled most of my life but took up road cycling seriously after being inspired by the London 2012 Olympics Games and the success of the British team.
