How did you get into, or start cycling, and when?

Started four years ago when I turned up to the Bilby's novice triathlon program and they showed me how to ride a bike.  I went out straight after that lesson and bought my Trek.  I knew I was going to love cycling -.and started wondering what I had been doing with my life!

Who would you most like to go for a ride with and why?

Tom Boonen - he's hot - and he can ride a bike.

Favourite meal

I love all food!

Favourite drink

Wine - lots of wine.

Fave bike kit

QuickStep - did I mention my Tom Boonen fetish????

Best sporting result

Finishing top twenty (2nd Aussie) at the 2007 Age Group World Triathlon Championships in Hamburg, Germany.

Proudest moment

There are many, but I remember phoning my Mum, very excited, the first time I rode 20kms!

Short term goal or event you are training for

Finishing in the top ten at the crits each week - note, definitely need to learn how to sprint!
