CP Coaching Systems grew out of the original CrankPunk.com, which began life around the time of the Last Great Doping Affair – at exactly the same time actually – and my little website, just about 4 days old then – blew up as a result, 70,000 views per month at its height. CP brought together people who love bicycles and cycling, and most who stayed were not too keen on doping. I did becom bored of writing about all that though and so took a good break, and focused on coaching, which is a true passion – I get a massive lift from helping people achieve their dreams.

Another passion is taking people out for bike rides, so much so that I started a tour company, called KOJO Collective. We take adventure seekers out to places such as Kyrgyzstan, Mongolia, the Aussie Outback, north Vietnam, Laos, and all over Japan. If you have a mo’, head to our site and take a look.
