ABOUT STEVE


 Hi, my name is Steve Dearlove born 1965 I'v been around bikes from when I was a boy taking parts off and fixing them. When I was 13 years old I had my first light weight racing bike with all the parts in a cardboard box on Christmas day, I was very lucky, over the next few days I put all the parts together.

 Not long after I joined the Swindon road club in 1978, I started time trials in the local 10 miles, the 25 miles got my time down by this time around 1981 I was doing 22.33 for 10 miles my personal best for 25 miles, just over the hour. 
When I left school I saved up a posh lighter bike frame which is the bike in the picture above

 this photo is me in a time trial some where in 1982or 1983

 I trained as a chef when I left school in Swindon in 1981, then collage /82/83  706/1 and 2 , In Slough 2 years in 1990/91  706/3 and 706/4    then spent the next 30  odd years cooking posh food all over the place.
 
In 1996 I opend a Taekwon-do school in Gorse Hill Community Centre,  Chapel Street Swindon, over 20 years and still going strong. Now I have done a full circle back on the bike.
