Profile - I live in a small village called Golspie, in the North of Scotland. I'm currently in my 6th and final year of high school studying Maths, Chemistry and Physics. I started mountain biking when some amazing trails were built right on my doorstep and I joined the local club. I loved every minute of it and then did my first race when I was 14, and was then hooked on racing. In 2011,as a youth rider, I was picked as part of the British Cycling Olympic Talent Team  and now for 2012 I am a member of the British Olympic Development Programme for Juniors, and also the Scottish Performance Squad.


Likes – Training camps and racing, getting a lot done in the day, massive hills, being abroad and experiencing another country, building and riding trails, and a good laugh with my friends

Dislikes – Being stuck inside all day, school work getting in the way of everything else! and road cycling when its really windy.
