Rider Profile - Paul Simmons


Cycling From: Barcelona
Job: TRG Service Manager
Site: Hatfield
Time at CC: 10 years
Hobbies: Running,  Snowboarding, Golf, going to the gym, reading & training for a 1200 mile bike ride
How long have you been cycling: Well I learnt to ride a bike when I was about 5 years old, but only wore Lycra for the first time 3 years ago
Why are you taking part in this challenge: I like to challenge myself and attempt things that push my limits. The last challenge I did was to run a marathon, so the cycle challenge seemed like the next step. Aside from the personal challenge, the most important reason for doing this challenge is to raise money and awareness for the charities as they all make real difference to people's lives. I personally know people who have been affected by Prostate Cancer & Alzheimer's and I am sure that too many of the people reading this do as well
What are you most looking forward to: No one thing in particular, it is all about the overall experience and doing something memorable
What are you least looking forward to: Riding in the wind and rain as this is not enjoyable. I am a fair weather cyclist
