Name: Kieran Bennett
Event: Downhill Mountain Biking
How did you become involved in cycling? I can always remember riding bikes when I was young but a friend got me into downhill racing when I was just starting college and I was instantly hooked.
What do you do to relax outside of cycling? I love to ride motocross, it's a lot like riding mountainbikes and great for training. I also do a lot of hunting, diving and fishing to fill in the rest of the time.
What would you be doing if you weren't a cyclist? I would love to say I would be a professional motocross racer but in all reality I've got no idea!
Favourite "cycling toy": my DH race bike!
Favourite movie/book/song: The Boondock Saints / anything by James Patterson / Brothers in Arms by Dire Straits
Favourite block of chocolate: Whittakers old dark
What's in your fridge at the moment? Nothing much when I'm on the road, just a container of protein powder and always orange juice.
If you could have any four people to dinner who would you invite? Steve Peat, Ricky Charmichael, Cam Cole, Ron Burgandy
