G'day fellas, basically my love for mountain biking is getting stronger and stronger, so much so that it now dictates what I do with my life and where I go (to a large degree). Having grown up in the blue Mountains of western Sydney, I had some awesome trails riding distance from my house and a big crew of mates (who are still my mates) that I'd go riding with after work when the light permitted or on weekends. We even had our own shuttle trailer for downhill runs, was great!
Riding with a group of like minded people on a similar competance level to you will always be 10 times better than riding by yourself because the banter is great, you push one another to ride faster, harder and to try new things. As great as my little mtb life in Sydney was, I hated Sydney. I hated everything else about Sydney. Being only 25 with nothing holding me down I thought I'd try out Victoria living for awhile, ride new/better trails, and get a cruisier job so I can focus more on training for potential races and just having fun on my bike.
So now I currently reside in beaaauuutiful Shepparton in northern Victoria. It ain't the most amazing town BUT it was the closest place to the majority of worthwhile trails, that was offering me a job. I have mt major in dookie and warrenbayne very close by, Beechworth 1.5 hrs away, bright, beauty, falls creek, harcourt, narbethong and more 2 hrs away, so it's not too bad. Only issue is I know no one here. Sure I meet people on the blue dirt shuttle days but this post is another attempt to reach out to other gravity enduro/ downhill shredders near or far that wouldn't mind having an extra person to ride with or heckle at on the trails. Now who wants to befriend me! (Please)
