Dr Nicol has worked as a Consultant Histopathologist in Crewe since 1985 and is recently semi-retired. She is a relatively new convert to cycling having previously been a runner; although she still competes in races and the occasional triathlon. She purchased a bike for the sake of her ageing knees and has since become a cycling enthusiast. Cycling has become a much loved hobby allowing her to travel further afield, for example the upcoming London to Paris challenge.
