About

My cycling journey began at the age of five, and I soon became a successful junior athlete, taking part in many competitions throughout my teens. But like with many passions when you are young, I gave it up.

It was not until 2017, living in Dubai, that I began cycling again. It was as if I had never left it; my muscle memory kicked in and I reached back into those formative teenage years. I took part in a famous annual bike race and since then, I have never looked back.

Long rides with friends turned often into solo epic rides, where I saw more, experienced more, and saw more of nature in beautiful, remote locations. This of course triggered my dormant competitive spirit and I soon signed up for my first marathon mountain bike race.

Today I enjoy the balance of training hard while traveling the world, competing in the age category, where I finish those races “slightly off the podium” – in other words, I compete at a high level, but not quite up to championship level… yet.

My passion is taking on the hardest and/or longest races in the world, especially mountain bike stage races, and thus far I have taken part in races in mountain ranges in the Middle East, the Alps and Pyrenees, and in South Africa in the legendary Cape Epic race.

My aim is to become the best mountain bike athlete I can be, racing primarily mountain bike stage races where I continue to test my personal limits. 

And I would also like to inspire you with my story – finding my biking passion again nearly 30 years after I lost it.

I am incredibly grateful to be able to ride my bikes, going on epic rides, training, taking part in competitions and travelling, while balancing a busy working life to finance my passion. I look forward to passing on my experience and knowledge to others who are passionate about mountain biking also.

Today I live in Munich which I love due to its closeness to the Alps, with its beautiful routes, high-altitude epic rides, steep uphill’s and rocky descents – all against a backdrop of stunning scenery.

Throughout my journey, I have built a community around my passion, sharing my daily training and lifestyle related to cycling, along with glimpses into my daily routines and social life. This sharing takes place through my social media.

For me, mountain biking isn’t just a hobby, it’s a way of life!
