Mountain biking New Zealand

http://www.mountainbikingnewzealand.co.nz

I launched this blog during November 2007 with the aim to collect my random ramblings, inspirations and life events that have anything to do with two wheels :)

I’m originally from the gorgeous (and ancient) city of Canterbury in Kent, England and after living in various parts of Australia for seven years, I now call Christchurch, New Zealand my home.

Outside of riding, dreaming of, spending money on, building, wheeling and dealing with …..bikes - I’m a graphic designer/ Project Manager/ Ninja. Great times.
