Michael Hassan profile

  • Michael "Handsome Hass" Hassan
  • Where to start..ok been riding the bike since 1973, road with my older brother at the Glasgow Wheelers before joining the Scotia CC.
    Raced on the road, track, and TT's. Won 2 open Road events at Drumclog and Mountblow and the APR at Mountblow in my first year a junior and had 7 wins the next year. Road the Brit RR on IOM and the following year in the Cotswolds.
    I headed to London after this to train as a Frame builder with WF Holdsworth in Sydenham and mostly raced at Crystal palace.
    When I returned home I moved to Irvine and joined the Fullarton Whls, mostly just for fitness but was talked into riding the Brit TTT Champs held in Edinburgh on a course based around the bypass.
    Moving on a number of years, I was able to go on around the world cycle tour leaving home May 1st 2010 returning Nov 2011, I was lucky enough to travel through most of Europe then to the west USA over to NZ then on to OZ and finally China!, before heading to the Pyrenees where I lived and worked at the bottom of the Tourmalet.
    So been around you can say.
    Just love riding my bike, and will happy ride with anyone fast or slow..and quite happy to give any advice to anyone that is willing to listen.
