It’s been a subtle metamorphosis for RCUK’s David Arthur who, though you’d find it hard to believe, is something of a seasoned mountain biker but now can’t be prised from his lycra, road bike and leg waxing kit. (Ok, so maybe the last bit’s a lie…)

In the kit of sister site, LondonCycleSport.com, Dave won his first 4th cat race at Hillingdon on Saturday, confirming his transition to a fully fledged roadie! Congrats Dave and let’s see how you get on with the big boys next week…

Thanks for all of your encouraging words in the forum.
