RIDING THROUGH
NICKSON’S LIFE

The cyclist in Nickson came to life during his prime high school years when his brother would cycle down to visit him. This drew a lot of attention and admiration from fellow students, inspiring Nickson to take on the challenge as well. His ambitious nature didn’t stop there; he wanted to grow his second high school hobby as well; environment and wildlife conservation.

During his school years, he participated in wildlife conservation clubs but now he wanted to venture further and attain a higher education in the field. This drove him to pursue several sponsored conservancy courses, however, his urge to be more active in the field drew him to a more public arena.

He got the idea to apply his athletic talent to help bring awareness to conservation projects. He began participating in several cycling events raising awareness for conservation, and has helped raise funds for a great number of causes such as The Bill Woodley Trust.

His competition calendar centres around 7 events. The main events being the 10-4 Mount Kenya mountain bike challenge, The GP 7, The Maralal Camel derby and the TransWales 7 day mountain bike race. These races demand Nickson adheres to a strict lifestyle and diet, to enable him to adapt to the different conditions experienced in each event.
