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.

Would you ride this?

I think if it were me I’d like to know there was an outside chance I’d be able to recover my bike if it all went wrong! Which in my case could happen. So knowing how deep the river is would be my first question. Looks great fun though doesn’t it? Source: Bikerumor Pic Of The Day
