10 Questions with The Red Rocket

Name:  Patrick Grant

Grade: B

 

1. Average K's per week: I try to do 200-300kms a week.

2. Favourite Training Ride:
hill repeats of the Bimbadeen lookout, it's close to home (just out of Cessnock). it's hard, a couple of k's up and there is no easy way.

3. How long racing:
I have only been cycle racing for just under 1 year, but have been competing in triathlon for about 3 1/2 years.

4. Current Bike:
I just have a nice new bike Trek Madone 5.9 ( thanks Scott).

5. Hardest Won Race:
Well I didn't come first, but the second stage of the Tamworth tour, I was rolled at the finish line to be placed 3rd. Ask anyone there I was not able to breath properly for about 20 minutes.

6.Bike Riding Hero:
Alexandre Vinokourov, how could you not respect his style of riding.

7.Future Cycling Goals: 
to reach the best state grading that I possibly can.
 

8. Armstrong or Ullrich: I Guess Armstrong.

9. What pisses you off in the bunch: 
people who want to be in a break-a-way but not work hard.

10. Words of wisdom:
Train hard, rest easy and always have fun, that's what it is all about.
