MTN-Qhubeka swap bikes for boots to hike up Table Mountain - gallery

The MTN-Qhubeka team swapped bikes for hiking boots on Tuesday as they, along with their new recruits, headed for the hills to walk up Cape Town’s Table Mountain.

Born in Ireland to a cycling family and later moved to the Isle of Man, so there was no surprise when I got into the sport. Studied sports journalism at university before going on to do a Masters in sports broadcast. After university I spent three months interning at Eurosport, where I covered the Tour de France. In 2012 I started at Procycling Magazine, before becoming the deputy editor of Procycling Week. I then joined Cyclingnews, in December 2013.
