Question 1 – Simply, Why?!
To challenge myself, improve my fitness and just spend 3 days having a laugh with a great group of lads, whilst helping raise money for a great charity. And for the Chinese takeaway at The Railway Inn in Ancaster, that is what I’m most looking forward to!

Question 2 – How much preparation have you done so far and how much do you plan on doing?
A few 30+ mile rides over the last month. Looking to go out at least twice a week and do some 50+ mile rides on a weekend.

Question 3 – What do you think you will bring to the bike ride?
Well a bike obviously. 

Question 4 – What do you think will be the hardest aspect of the ride?
Probably tackling the infamous Corker Hill as once we get to that point we know it’s all uphill until the overnight stop.

Question 5 – Who are you looking forward to biking with the most and the least?Each member is a great personality and will make it an enjoyable 3 days.

Question 6 – If you could choose any York City player either past or present to bike with you, who would it be?
Richard Brodie – He would give us a lot of entertainment and probably bring his mum with him!

Question 7 – Do you predict any injuries or falls for yourself or other riders?
I just want to get through the whole ride without any punctures or falls. Although I predict Ian will moan about his knees a lot!

Question 8 – What’s the first thing you’ll do when you finish?
Eat bad food, drink alcohol and hopefully watch City win.
