Uphill or Downhill? It used to be up but as I get older the downs are getting more appealing.

Most epic day on a bike? While bike touring in France many years ago, my bank card got rejected and I couldn’t get any money out. With no food and only a couple of euros left, I grabbed a baguette and rode 210kms to where luckily some family were staying in Normandy. I was totally shattered and starving by the time I got there!

nn

Favourite trails (other than Castlemaine) – Loving Mt Buller at moment!

nn

If I wasn’t mountain biking I’d be… over on the dark side, riding on the road.

nn

One day I’ll ride… The trails in the European Alps look good.

nn

When I head out for a ride I never leave without… knowing where I’m going.

nn

My race highlight? These days any race I finish without hurting myself or a mechanical is a highlight.
