Simon Baxter

Born in 1979 and been biking seriously since March 2003. I've ridden a Specialized BigHit since summer 2004 and love it. If you see someone racing around Guisborough woods with a helmet cam, its probably me. I'm also partial to a bit of photography and website development.

Stephen Davison

While I wait for Davo to write his own profile, I'll do it for him. Davo is also known as Kamikaze Davo as he crashes..... a lot. See the videos for evidence. Thats about it really, he's a comedy genius.

Ian Cation

Profile coming soon. Maybe.

Sam (Simons big bro)

Born in 1978. Took up biking again in 2004 as he became inspired by Simons biking success ;o) Now rides periodically but hopes to become a Kona Stinky riding freerider.

Richard Wilson

Profile coming soon. Maybe.

Neil Stockton

Mr Stockton is of 1977 Vintage (A particularly fine year), and has been riding for around 14 years. Primary Motivation comes from Beer and Singletrack. Enjoys most things with wheels, except for caravans, rovers and skateboards. Other interests include World Domination and 'dicking around' with cars.

Matt Rule

Ever on the quest for that elusive new shiny item that will increase my ball size and riding ability into the realms of Garcia and Klassen ...... Not found it yet, or even sure if it exists. If I find it, I'll be sure to tell you lot first though.

Marie Barwick

I have been riding for fun since mid 2003, generally showing up the lads by riding with more style (and more balls than her boyfriend) :-)

David Marr

Danger Dave (You're on my line fatty) started biking around 1990 and has been hooked ever since. Used to race but now prefers to soul ride, ever in search of the perfect trail. Other interests include beer and fridge raiding. Rides Orange '02 Patriot and Cove Stiffee 69'er (number 15 of 69).

Lazy Phil

Phil was born in 1973, so should be old enough to know better than to try and be a freerider. Started biking again in 2004 after a ten year rest. Enjoys singletrack, drop offs and jumps. Dislikes uphills hence the name.

Jon Kibble

Born in the wonderful year of 1980. Jon started mucking about with fat tyre bikes in about 1990, and since then has broken many a bone, and many a bike part! Enjoys all sorts of riding, even uphill! Other interests include running, drinking, and soulful house.

Warren James

A 28 year old happily married father of one lovely little girl, who has an incredibly sensible and responsible job and likes to spend the weekend by being even more sensible and responsible on the trails. Rode mountain bikes since the days of Raleigh Montages and florescent pink saddles bags, now graduated to a Spesh Big Hit. If you pass me staring at a four foot drop, please feel free to push me off.

Tom Levell

Profile coming soon.

Tim

Born way back in 1965 I'm old enough to know better. When I started riding 3 years ago I would only see any the other riders at the start and end of the ride, now I can keep in touch with the main group most of the time. I can usually be found lurking at the back of the group, my excuse being that I carry the bandages, the reality being I'm just slower and more timid than everyone else. Riding a 2003 Specialized Enduro.

Stuart Armstrong

Born in New Zealand in 1977 and moved to England 4 years ago. I've been biking on and off for about 13 years but much more regularly lately. I like beer and barbecue's (stereotypes eh?)

Paul Jones

Born:1965. Started riding offroad again around four years ago purely for fun and fitness. Usually to be found near the back of group rides with Lazy Phil, and soon to join the 'new dads' riding section.

Simon Cahill

The Guy with the dog (Mac) that just won't SHUT UP!! Born in 1977. Been riding bikes for as log as I can remember.... Trying to find my wings... And maybe... Just maybe, they are starting to grow! On a mission to walk past all chocolate bars, as everyone know..... LARD DON'T FLY!!

Christopher Richard Cahill

Short and enthusiastic rider showing lots of promise. Looking for a riding mentor as my dad (see above) sets a bad example. Currently a co rider of a 2005 Rockhopper and gain inspiration from Kranked and Drop In. Also currently suffering from loss of breaking power as I keep dribbling and puking on my rear disc while co riding. Looking to ride my own bike asap but first I need to learn how to talk.
