Phil can remember vividly the first offroad bike he saw in a shop, on holiday as an 8 year old in the Italian village of Cogne. His imagination had him speeding along the glacial riverbanks into the mountains beyond.
A few decades later he was doing just that and is looking forward to a return visit soon.
