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.
