What’s your inspiration for this ride? I’ve never done a bike tour with a group; I’m looking forward to sharing this experience with other people.

What do you think will be your greatest challenge on the ride? Having only ever done solo bike tours, I think my biggest challenge might be adapting to a group dynamic – but I’m up for it!

What do you like to do other than riding your bike? I enjoy creating art.
