I don't think I'll still be riding at 40. There are a couple of people who are still riding after having kids, like Mary King, but people say that you lose your nerve after you have kids. It's the risk.

I started to ride when I was very young, and it's a sport I have practised for a very long time.

I've said many times in the past that my career's not going to go on much longer; I'm not going to keep going and riding until I'm in my 30s and things like this.

Cycling is an endurance sport. You lose your fast-twitch ability as you age, but your endurance peaks when you hit 30. I don't think I really started feeling my age until around 40.

I have been off the motorcycles for about 20 years now, but that doesn't mean I can't still do it.

I will go back to riding one day - when I have kids. I have such amazing childhood memories of being on horseback.

One thing I learned about riding is to look for trouble before it happens.

I started riding bikes when I was really young, but I stopped when I was 19 because my mother asked me to, so I stopped riding for 35 years and now I'm just addicted. It is my only addiction.

When you're hot, you try to ride it as long as you can.
