Rider Profile - Russell Brown


Cycling From: Barcelona
Job: Client Director
Site: Birmingham/Blackfriars
Time at CC: 10 years
Hobbies: I love sport, particularly Triathalon & Golf
How long have you been cycling: Started cycling about 3 years ago as a result of getting into Triathalon. In training for an Ironman last year I spent a lot of time on the bike, clocking up quite a few miles and I really got the bug for this discipline in particular
Why are you taking part in this challenge: I like to raise money for a good cause and challenge myself in the process (win/win). Have previously been on trips to South Africa & India with CC - and under my own steam - to raise money and physically make a difference (building schools & teaching). This trip is a little more self indulgent as I get to challenge myself with something I really enjoy whilst raising money for our 3 great causes 
What are you most looking forward to: I am looking forward to 3 things specifically. Cycling over the Pyrenees, riding into Paris and riding with the CC team through some great countryside 
What are you least looking forward to: I am struggling with a few niggles and not really in the condition I would like to be in. I have had a very lazy 12 months having pushed my body last year for the Ironman (and then subsequently getting my social life back), so my own personal expectations about how I perform (the internal dialogue/frustration) is something I am going to have to deal with
