Lewis Kennedy Team Rider For Daisy Dog Photos Endurance Riders Team
Hi all, I'm Lewis and I'm 11years old. I live in Scotland with my Mam and Dad. I train and ride with my local bike club which is Annan Youth Cycling Club.
My hero's are Danny Mcaskill, Martyn Ashton and Guy Martin.
I love to get out on my bike, we have got one of the 7stanes Mountain Bike centres just up the road from us. http://www.7stanes.com I like to go round this with my Dad. My favourite trail centre is the 7stanes at Glentress.
Besides riding my bike I swim once a week and go to karate too. I have just passed my grading for karate and I'm a purple and white belt, 3 to go and I will be a black belt.
When I'm not on my bike I like to play mountain bike games on my tablet and sometimes I do like to build things with my Lego. I'm a big fan of Scania wagon's, tractors and Landrovers. My dad has an old Landrover that we call "Old Blue".
My bike is a full carbon Orbea Alma S50 hardtail, I bought the frame off Karen, I met Karen through the powers of Ebay and our love of Orbea bikes. As a family we have all become firm friends with Karen and I was thrilled to be asked to join her team Daisy Dog Photos Endurance Riders Team. I have customised the bike myself, most of the parts are Nukeproof. I have tried to keep the components colour co-ordinated with the lovely black carbon frame. It is an incredible bike to ride, very light and very responsive.
This is the 3rd Orbea I have had and I love them. My mam and dad both have Orbeas but my Mams doesn't come out of the shed very often. My shed is full of bikes and bike parts. I have an Onza Zoot trails bike, Raleigh Chopper, Schwinne Stingray, 2 Orbea mountain bikes and a Ridley road bike.
I have my own little business, I chop and sell kindling/firewood, I put the money I get towards my bikes.
I have been racing competitively now for about 4years. I am really proud to have joined the Daisy Dog Photos Endurance Team
I have just started the Scottish sxc series there are 6 races all together all over Scotland, the first race was at Laggan and I came 7th.
I love to race, if I come first it's a bonus and if I'm last at least I made it round. Its all about taking part.
