I'll organize 18 uphill bike races in 2024, alongside my heroic team, the Macclesfield Wheelers, including a closed road event with help from The Bollington Festival

I'd love for you to join us in the Peak District as we provide the space for you to dominate the landscape and crush limitations once again.

This photo shows my light trails on a freezing cold early morning ride, taken by my friend and team mate Bartosz Lukasik. As I saw the scale of the landscape here, it highlighted the bigger picture to me: we often fear the challenges of the terrain as bike racers, yet we always overcome it. We're the ones in the driving seat and taking that control back is why so many people feel empowered at the races we run, regardless of the results. Look at the enemy from the right angle and intimidation fades away.

Bartosz is an incredible landscape photographer who is often seen working at our events when not racing. All of the promotional photos for this year's series have originated from his sharp eye for the very mountains we will psychologically flatten with power & determination this year. Each image he has captured will make you rethink the mission ahead.

PS: May marks 5 years of me doing this. Every winter people ask if we'll do another year. If I ever say no, check me in to A&E
