Hi all! My name's Trish - I'm getting into mountain bike riding on the weekend and I'm hoping to meet some more people to go riding with!
Location?
Sydney, Northern Beaches
Road, Mountain, Track... what's your style?
Road and Mountain - more leaning towards the mountain to get my thrills these days!
Current bike/s?
Yeti 575 (took me ages to save for it but it's seriously worth it) and for the road a giant escape rx w.
Riding since?
I've been riding on and off since I was a kid, but have just recently gotten back into it with gusto!
Riding because?
I want to stay fit, I've got a passion for adrenaline

and nothing gets your heart racing like smashing through branches at speed on a mountain bike
I commute, I ride for fun and I ride on the dirt!
Favorite ride?
For road riding I like the roads up near church point, or maybe riding alongside the water on manly beach.
For Mountain bike riding I'm just starting out really, but I spend a bit of time on the fire trails in kurringai national park and soon I'm going all the way down to the RNP to do some downhill stuff (If you never hear from me again, I died doing what I love, lol)
Occupation?
Barista at a cafe in the city - it pays the bills!
Goals?
I want to get into competition mountain bike racing - the downhill scary stuff!
Most embarrassing moment on the bike?
Definitely crashing into a tree when I was trying to ride alongside/talk to my friend...in front of a pub...
Best moment on the bike?
Going downhill on a firetrail at 60km/hr (no idea really lol no speedo) and almost wiping out - but I didn't. Adrenaline!
Which section have you spent most of your time in on the forums? Or where do you suspect you'll spend most your time?
I'm thinking that I'm going to spend most of my time in MTB.
