Hi there! I use to mountain bike but now I do road. I have over 14 years experience and I can answer almost any riding or technical questions you may have. This is such a fun and healthy sport to get into, that’s why I'm here to help anyone who has any questions on it ~ Thanks and don’t be shy to ask me!
Experience in the area
I have 14 years biking experience and I’m proud to say only 2 wipe outs! (maybe 3). Now I ride for fun and long distances with my new bike that I built up myself. My ride is a 2009 ECLIPSE Sheriff (AN6 HT1). I have entered numerous races and biking events and have learnt skills, tricks, techniques and the know how to be an efficient rider.
