"Boots" to new member David Wards

Fourtyone year old, life long cyclist, David Wards joined up last week.

David says "I started competing in the occasional triathlon when I was 18, but always preferred the bike leg and as a result have been riding time trials for nearly 20 years now. I enjoy time trials from the point of view, that although I'll never win, I can challenge myself against my PBs and the guys around my level."

David rides an Airborne Thunderbolt in the Winter and a Kiron Scandium in the summer. For TTs he uses a Dalkiia frame and also owns a Cube MTB for some off road fun.

"I like to try new things to keep cycling fresh, in 2009 I built my first set of wheels from scratch and in 2010 I tried an XC event and did a coupled of training sessions on the track at Manchester. As for 2011, I plan for more TTs and myself and some friends hope to take part in 10 Under the Ben in May."
