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.

Maybe it’s a bad idea to stick stuff on your crash helmet?

Does putting stuff like camera and light mounts on your crash helmet put you at risk of greater injury?

The only way is Vole

Just before Christmas, Dave posted to our Facebook page that there was a rumour we were thinking of changing our name from the MuddyMoles to the Water Voles in light of the Great Flood of 2013. That might not be a bad idea…

White Down, broken James

Ride report: Sunday 7 December – Jimmy bonk bonk

Poor James! After six weeks of pre and post nuptial fun, a trip to Holmbury proves to have just a few too many miles for him!

Christmas is coming but I’m trying not to get fat!

This weekend saw the gun firing on the Christmas season. Earlier than usual, I’ve seen FB friends posting pictures of their newly decorated homes, all taking advantage of the first of December falling on a weekend. We even have the tree up at our place after our kids declared it Christmas now the advent calendars are in play!
