About Me
Well, I've been on Fetch for a number of years and have even run a few times during those years... but, in reality, I'm a mountain biker. I do a bit of road riding too, but my passion is the MTB. I have eclectic MTB tastes, from cross-country eyeballs out (for me) racing, through tricky trail riding (including the occasional bike park), to long-distance gravel events. I even go bike-packing 2-3 times per year. Let's face it, I just like being out on a MTB. Show More...

What's the biggest challenge that awaits you? I want to get back to the level of fitness I had in 2021 and 2022. I felt good about my body and want that back again.
