365 Days of Reign - My 1st Year on a Real Mountain Bike

 24/5/2013

Today marks the anniversary of my first serious mountain bike purchase.  It was the day when my dual suspension Big W bike got locked in the shed for good and I embarked on a whole new world of mountain biking .. one with 6" of suspension travel, powerful brakes and grippy tyres.

This video tries to capture the wide variety of trails I've ridden over the past 12 months and the experiences I've enjoyed.  It's also a big thank you to everyone who has been a part of this journey.

This website is brought to you by MTB weekend warrior Aaron Markie.
There are plenty of great websites out there with a wealth of information about Mountain Bike Trails,
however in my experience its hard to get a good mix of info, maps, photos and videos of trails I've never ridden.
The idea of this website is to tie those 4 elements together and give you a more detailed look at the MTB Trails I ride.
If you have anything to add then let me know.
