I'm often told I have a very cool job, writing about and taking photos of some of the best mountain bikes on the planet, meeting some of the personalities within the cycling world and testing some of the best cycling apparel and technology. It sounds for a fan of mountain bikes and all things cycling in general like one of the greatest jobs you could wish for, and well to be fair it pretty much is. I count myself very lucky to have what is a privileged position, I've met, interviewed and hung out with World Champions, shared pizza with Olympians, drank beers on the side of a mountain with a Red Bull Hardline rider, and even ridden the very highly specced downhill mountain bike of a six-time World Champion. I've also been told that I should write a book on the many crazy and frankly "did that just happen" moments I've had over the years, maybe this can be a test chapter, for those who are interested these are just a couple of few highlights of my adventures in cycling journalism...
