What is your favourite Velominati or cycling ‘rule’ to break?
There are rules?

Where would you take the VeloClub #lunchbunch in your neck of the woods?
We’d have to ride to the top of Mt. Wellington here in Hobart, Tasmania. It’s 1300m gain on 23km of road right from the centre of town.

Where should we be planning the next VeloClub summit (junket)?
At SUFCamp at the UCI World Cycling Centre in Aigle, Switzerland. It’s amaaaaazzing.

Your earliest cycling memory:
It was getting this little electronic turn signal that I attached under the seat of my bike when I was about 7 or 8. I thought it was the most awesome thing in the world and I spent all day riding around corners on our block so I could use it.
