So I moved to Australia, left my life in the UK behind, all my friends and family, threw it all away to follow my heart. I worked out the hard way that this was not a very smart thing to do. Everything fell down around my ears and all I could do was stand by and watch it fall, everything I tried to do just made it worse.
I had one release from what my life had become, this was riding mountain bikes. Or one in particular, a stump jumper FSR, after a little bit of riding with one particular friend I was invited to take part in my first 24hr mountain bike race, the Scott 24 hour. This was just the first part of turning my life around, now iver a year later I have taken part in two 24hour races both time finishing in the top 33% of around 600 teams, and I have been in a support crew for an adventure race. This last was one of the best experiences I have been involved in. We (the support crew) decided that nextyear we would take part.
