How did you get into MTB? I have been riding bikes my whole life and I competed in my first race in 2008 on a 20" bike. When we moved to Armidale in 2009, I raced a season on a tandem bike with Dad and the following year I decided to race on my own. I was hooked! I have been racing ever since!
Favourite track/place to ride: The Piney! Bright, VIC and Queenstown NZ are also lots of fun!
Pre-race rituals/lucky charms: I always have to put on some Chap Stick before racing, it feels funny without it!
