From Welsh Rugby Captain to Endurance Cyclist, Entrepreneur and Sought-After Speaker.
What has happened since leaving the professional game.
After leaving the game, his work off the pitch has been nothing short of extraordinary. He is now a highly regarded motivational and business speaker, delivering talks at prestigious venues including The Long Room at Lord’s, The Shard (Global Welsh Society), and Thomond Park, alongside international engagements across the USA, Middle East, Africa, Asia and Australia. He has also used his charm, intelligence and quick humor and become a renowned after dinner speaker entertaining audiences across the UK.
Alongside this, Colin has taken on a series of elite endurance challenges — all in support of charitable causes. These include Ride London, London to Paris, John O’Groats to Land’s End, Race Across America, the Cape Epic, Dragon Ride, and completing Mallorca 312 on five occasions. He also hand-cycled from Cardiff to Dublin for Shelter Cymru.
His efforts have supported a wide range of charities including MND, MS, Ty Hafan, Wales Air Ambulance, Prostate Cymru, Shelter Cymru, Help for Heroes, the Royal British Legion and many more.
