I'm the WA Principal of a consultancy firm in the infrastructure sector and have two little kids which keeps me pretty busy.
Prior to this, I spent over a decade working and playing in the ski and mountain bike industry in the USA and East Coast of Australia, which is a complete 180 from my current life.
I'd heard about this event for a number of years, though hadn't had an opportunity to participate, so I made a split decision to enter and sponsor a team through my firm, diving in head first before I even had an idea what was required.
I've been affected by youth suicide over my lifetime, particularly in my younger years and now also having two young boys, I wanted to do something that might contribute to something that might make a difference.
Having spent so long on mountain bikes I haven't really ridden in a peloton before so I'm learning about how that works and really enjoying the challenge, just not the 4:30am wake ups for training, though I can't wait to get stuck into it in March.
