QUICK FIRE

Climbs or descents? I’m a bit nervous about the descents, especially the longer ones like I found in the Dolomites. Your wrists hurt and you think your rims are overheating. At 55 I’m not as crazy as I used to be. I do like the short descents but it’s nothing on the pleasure at the summit of a big climb.

On bouncing back from injury… When I got back from New Zealand in 2009, all the stunts I’d been doing had left me nursing a cracked rib, a broken collar bone and a prolapsed disc. I was in a bad way. My physio recommended pilates and it did the trick.

What’s next on the slate? I’m in the Netflix show Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency, which is shot in Vancouver. Also, a remake of [1987 comedy] Overboard, with a twist being the main roles of the original are reversed.
