Hello,

I'm Simon from Horton in Ilminster, Somerset.

I've been cycling to work for the last 18 months or so, only 2 miles each way, but far enough to get the wind in my (receding) hair and wanted to get more out of cycling. I participated in a couple of sportives last year, the Watchet to West Bay C2C rise and a London to Brighton charity ride, and really enjoyed them.

A friend of mine introduced me to Strava & I've kind of got addicted. I really enjoy trying to climb the leaderboards on a lot of segments in my area.

Anyhoo, I'm currently giving cycling a break until April as I'm concentrating in training to run the London Marathon. After this I have 3 sportives lined up and am looking forward to meeting new people and enjoying the rides.

Cheers,
