Michael Nelson

Michael is a keen Aussie Zwifter, joining Zwift in 2021 thanks to Covid. He’s an old, overweight, below average Zwifter, with zero background in cycling but an above average competitive spirit. Unfortunately this leads to an endless cycle of fitness build-up followed by injury, followed by fitness build-up, followed by … you get the picture. He’s not helped by bulging discs and arthritic knees, the ultimate combination, thanks to too many formative years of Cricket (happy to tell anyone, anytime he got Adam Gilchrist out at the u17 national Australian championships) and Basketball (dunker … when the wind came from the right direction, the tea leaves aligned, and the moon was in the right phase).
