Both my parents were self-employed engineers, and they had that can-do attitude. I started racing motorbikes when I was six, and my happiest childhood memories are on the side of a freezing mountain in Aberdare, struggling to feel my fingers, dad working on my bike and mum cooking for everyone around. I loved it.
I love cycling, and one of the best sporting events I’ve ever been to was the Abergavenny Festival of Cycling. Every generation in the community was out in the streets, watching kids aged eight or nine, ripping around on tiny bikes, all the way up to the pros, all racing on the same circuit. It was incredible – everything that sport should be.
