Rider Profiles: Nick Onslow
Nick Onslow
We're kicking off our rider interviews with a stalwart of the race scene and long time Gorrick campaigner Nick Onslow, who rides for PedalOn in the SuperMaster category.
Club/Sponsor: PedalOn
What year did you start riding? 1988
What got you into mountain biking? I got into mountain biking after having my BMX stolen. Mountain biking was the up and coming craze, and it didn't take as long to ride to school on.
What was your first bike? 21" Dawes Wild Cat
What do you ride now? A bike for all occasions, but this season I'll be on a Trek 9.9
Favourite Gorrick venue? Crowthorne Woods
Best moment at an event? Being awarded for 100% attendance on your [Gorrick] 10th year.
What next in 2008? My main aim this year is to improve on last years results. Top ten Master in the National Points Series and the National Champs, top five in the Southern XC, but as always to keep our sport alive. Most of us don't race for the glory, just to meet the friends we have made over the years, and have a great time.
