I've owned iRIDE since founding it in 2010. Before that, I raced everything from sprint-distance triathlon through to Ironman, competing as both an Olympic Distance World Champion Age Group athlete and Elite Ironman podium finisher. Along the way I've also won a national age-group road title, and spent more than 15 years helping riders through professional bike fitting.
