I rode in a nine-day charity ride recently, averaged 43km a day and still finished in the lead group. I'm 38, not quite finished yet.

I've just been reading about cycling. Yeah, I'm not that great at it but I like the challenge of it.

As long as possible, I would really like to complete one marathon per year. Though my time has been slowing down as I get older, it has become a very important part of my life.

I used to run a full marathon in three hours and 25 or 26 minutes. Not any more.

My goal is to break three hours in a marathon.

I enter myself in races. I did a triathlon, and I have done a marathon a couple of times.

I've had so many experiences in cycling, but in some ways I have nothing left to prove. I have achieved more than I could have dreamed of, I've raced a lot longer than I thought I would. I know I can still be better, but I just don't know if I love it enough any more.

As a professional track cyclist, I have always challenged myself, and I enjoy seeing how I cope when faced with the unknown.

When I was young and ocean-racing competitively, and working the rest of the time, I was going 24 hours. I was on the verge of collapsing. But you've got to slow down a bit.

When I'm not running, I cycle about 30 miles a day. I use the biking as cross training. I'm kind of a maniac. I race everybody.
