Bruce Ashford is a Head & Neck Surgeon and is on the Board of Head and Neck Cancer Australia. He lives in Wollongong and enjoys the challenge of the undulating climbs of the Illawarra.

 He has done plenty of painfully long and slow rides, including multiple L’etape’s, Pollie Pedal and trips across Europe. He happily confirmed to us that he will be the slowest rider on the day, until lunch is served, at which time he will definitely be wearing the Green Jersey.
