Tom Hill

wanderer/wonderer

• Role: Freelance storyteller.
• First bike: Giant something or other in 1997. Too big. Great bike.
• Current bike: I'm a serial collector. Cascade, SolarisMAX and a shiny new Jeht.
• Favourite trail: The descent down to Achnashellach in Torridon - on a spring day at sunset.
• Dream trail: Summit to sea via ridgelines, alpine meadows and loamy woods.
• Best mtb invention in the last 10 years: Modern geometry for the win.
• Pick two cyclists from history to be your parents: Jason McRoy and Beryl Burton.
• If you could be anyone for a day who would it be: I honestly don't want to be anyone else. Even for a day. It might sound cheesy, but we've all got the power to be the people we want to be.
• If you could do another job for a day what would it be: Whisky taster at a distillery.
• What would be the title of your autobiography: Lost is found.
• One thing people probably won't know about you: Despite being a proud "Yorkshireman", I was actually born across the border, in Preston. I only moved to Yorkshire when I was four. My life has all been a lie.
