Matt

Matt is one of the founding Molefathers of the Muddymoles, and is the designer and main administrator of the website.

An experienced rider, he still manages to fall off disconcertingly often. Nothing can account for this fact.

Current bikes include a Bird Aether 9, A Pace RC627 hardtail, a Cannondale Topstone gravel bike and a very niche Trek District 1 belt drive bike. A Merida Scultura Endurance bike provides road duties.

If you've ever wondered how Matt and the MuddyMoles got started, well wonder no more.

A year in sport 2019 from Strava

2019 in the rear view mirror

What is a year? 12 months; 365 days (give or take); 8760 hours (give or take). And so on… it matters not where you measure from, so long as you are consistent.

More videos to keep you occupied if that’s your thing. It’s a gnarly world out there, or in my case, just extremely muddy!

Moles on Ranmore

Ride report: Sunday 10 November – Dry up above, wet down below

Clive reckons we should rename ourselves The Water Rats and after today, he may well have a point. Not for the first time we put the Muddy into Muddymoles…
