Having raced for more than ten years in a variety of different disciplines, including cross-country, marathon racing and hill climbs, Joe now enjoys a more sedate life of cafe stops and post-ride beers. And while a young family means he has less free time, he still likes to hit the hills and suffer on his rides. A strong proponent of riding a hardtail mountain bike on the road, you might also find Joe riding his beloved Colnago Extreme Power when the sun is out.
