About Me:

I got interested in mountain biking in 2001 through my neighbour - 4 Chord Gord!

I began my riding career on a steel junker and quickly moved onto a GT Timberline, which was replaced by a GT Tequesta at the end of my first season. This was again replaced (before ever really being ridden) by my current ride, the Oryx T-Line 750, which was born in February 2003 at the bike show (when the frame was purchased). The birthing process is ongoing, since as we all know there is no end to upgrades.

Although still a newbie, I enjoy the ride and nothing beats the feeling of conquering that section of trail that you've just not been able to do before. Hopefully the future will bring more of these conquests for me, and maybe I can gain the confidence to try a few races by the end of 2003?
