Editor of Cycling Weekly magazine, Simon has been working at the title since 2001. He fell in love with cycling when. channel surfing in 1989 and happening across the greatest Tour de France ever ridden. He's been a Greg LeMond fan ever since. He started racing in 1995 when moving to university in North Wales to Study sports science. Here he found he had more time to train and some amazing roads to ride on. He raced domestically for several years with his club Norwood Paragon, riding everything from Surrey leagues to time trials, track and even a few Premier Calendars. In 2000 he spent one season racing in Belgium with the Kingsnorth International Wheelers.
Since working for Cycling Weekly he has written product reviews, fitness articles, pro interviews, race coverage, features and news. He has covered the Tour de France more times than he can remember along with two Olympic Games (Beijing 2008 and London 2012) along with many other international and UK domestic races. He can still be seen at his club's evening races through the summer and riding the lanes of Surrey, Sussex and Kent, but he still hasn't completed the Big Ride challenge!
