Rich Wood – So I’m a bit of a jack of all trades really, raced dh and xc in the past including some time racing 24 hour endurance events with the trek 69er collective. DH has always been my favourite discipline, but Enduro is the perfect event in my eyes and has taken over. What could be better than riding, having a good time with your mates and smashing single track all weekend. This sport is about the joy of racing for me, not about getting all stressed and warming up on rollers – just ride hard and enjoy it! I’ve been riding intense for the last 4 years and I’m still loving them. I’m in the masters class with Andrew and Joe.

Rob had this to say. “We have an unconventional no bullshit approach to racing and believe that this format of competition leaves no doubt as to who is the best all round mountain biker”.
