My brother (Dan) gave me a free entry to an Open5. Thought it sounded like good fun so gave it a go and never looked back.

What is you favorite piece of kit and why?
SKINS Bike shorts - make the long rides far more comfortable!

What even would you suggest to anyone wanting to start adventure racing?
If you want to have a try at adventure racing, the Open5 series is a 'must do'. Great fun and caters for all abilities.
