Timmis works part time at Swinnerton Cycles and has a sports massage and coaching business, too. He was team masseur for the Linda McCartney squad in the 2000 Giro d’Italia and rubbed for the Brits at the Commonwealth Games at Manchester in 2002. He has also started his own three-man team for 2004, ATPerformance.co.uk.
The post-ride rub downs will be offered on Saturday morning at the Sandwell Valley Park MTB course.
