About Us
|
| Having stayed in Bourg d'Oisans for the first time in 2007 we enjoyed the
scenery lifestyle and riding so much we thought a serious
change in pace was in order and to work for ourselves doing
something we love -
enjoy
oisans. Phil has been riding bikes for as long as he can
remember but started competing seriously in cyclo cross,
time trials and road races events in the late 1980's for
Bournemouth Arrows Cycling Club. He fell in love with
cycling after watching the 1986 Tour de France on UKs
Channel 4. Phil switched to
mountain biking in the mid nineties most of which has been
with the
Bigfoot Mountain bike club
in Gloucestershire. He is a qualified mountain bike guide
via the OTC in the UK and holds an emergency first aid
certificate. As soon as Phil moved to Bourg d'Oisans he
shifted his attention back to road riding and knows the
Oisans area very well. Phil has climbed Alpe d'Huez at
least once a month since he has lived here and can talk
about bikes for as long as you want to. Indeed Phil
loves bikes so much he set up his own Cycle Company
called PROMPT which
is based in Bourg d'Oisans. He likes nothing more than a steep alpine
mountain road climb to get his lungs and heart working to
the max !

| Helen has spent the last 12 years in and out of
police cells and court rooms as a defence solicitor and now
needs to see some light! She has been riding bikes largely to see Phil for the last couple of years and
entered her first event in November 2007. Helen is
also an ITEC qualified sports
massage therapist, and holds
an emergency first aid certificate issued by the Rescue
Emergency Care Scheme Guidelines. She doesn't plan to do the
Time Trial up Alpe d'Huez ever - but sorts out all our admin and
lunches and post ride massages. |
