Name – Nick “Byrnsie” Byrne

Profession – Feasibility guru, but more importantly President of the Castlemaine Rocky Riders MTB Club.

nnnnnn

Uphill or Downhill? I drop like a bomb, but recently I’ve found my climbing legs again.

nnnnnn

Most epic day on a bike? Pairing with the Dalai Lama in a charity 6hr enduro. Nah, just kidding. It was only a 3hr, but we still shredded.

nnnnnn

nnnnnn

I’m currently riding… a Trek, but I really love Giants.

nnnnnn

Favourite trails (other than Castlemaine) – You can’t beat the C-style. Why would you go anywhere else? But I do find myself at Mt Buller every second weekend.

nnnnnn

If I wasn’t mountain biking I’d be… in a workshop, focus group or community meeting.

nnnnnn

One day I’ll ride… in Tibet. The Dalai Lama promised to show me some trails.

nnnnnn

When I head out for a ride I never leave without… checking myself first. Look good, go ride. His holiness taught me that.

nnnnnn

My race highlight? Other than tapping it out with the Dalai Lama? Once you’ve received enlightenment there are no highlights….
