    Who Won the NSMBA Fiver With OneUp Components?

    Spoiler: everyone is a winner at the NSMBA Fiver! May saw us host the first Classic Fiver of the year, an event the whole mountain bike community looks forward to. The Fiver is a friendly evening enduro race putting the emphasis on friendly. While it's timed, there are no podiums or prizes, just bragging rights. Everybody that shows up gets to race their mates, have a good time, and have a good time at the apres. We host a Fiver apres every year - supporting our community is one of our favourite things to do, so we're stoked to welcome the racers in for some well-earned food and drinks. Ash headed to the race up on Mount Fromme and caught up with racers back at the apres to find out what people were thinking about the course, how they were feeling after the race, and to get people stoked. Ash caught up with Brian Earle, Fiver founder and organiser to chat about the history and format of the Fivers, and much more. Brian is a legend in the community and has done so much for us - so thanks Brian for all of your hard work! Thanks to the NSMBA for allowing us to be a part of the Fiver series each year and for everything they do for the local mountain bike scene. If you haven't already, go get an NSMBA membership and help contribute to our trails.

    Steve Vanderhoek and Kelsey Toevs - The North Shore Freeride Power Couple!

    When you think of a power couple, you might imagine two individuals, each influential or successful in their own right, complementing each other. This is precisely what Steve Vanderhoek and Kelsey Toevs have achieved. While rumours suggest that Kelsey won Steve over in high school, all of that occurred before they entered their professional careers or pursued elite-level hobbies. Now, they have grown into complementing each other's skills, with Steve’s riding and Kelsey’s photography. What distinguishes them from other filmmaker-athlete combos is that they are a married couple, both holding full-time jobs. Steve continues his role as a full-time firefighter, while Kelsey manages her residential photography business. This unique aspect means they don't rely on content income which reflects the genuine passion they pour into creating their remarkable content. Check out their latest creation, winning the 2023 Crankworx Dirt Diaries video competition, Ready or Not film.

    Colombia Dreaming - Part Two

    Colombia is a bucket list destination for many road cyclists. With its high-altitude, challenging terrain, favorable weather, beautiful landscapes, and a cycling-friendly culture, it’s one of the best places in the world to ride a bike. Colombia Dreaming is about an idea that was hatched among friends to explore Colombia by road bike. To take on a challenging loop of the country, connecting the best cycling regions and do so in the spirit of adventure.  In nine days of riding, Rich, Steve, Dave, Marty, Zack, Kevin and Daniele rode 1200km, up and down the Cordilleras mountains climbing over 25,000m. Starting out in Bogota, the guys descended to the Magdalena valley and took on the ultimate bucket list climb, Alto el Sifon (the alternative and superior Letras). With over 100km of fresh tarmac rising to 4100m of elevation, this climb will surely become one of the all-time classics. The route continued to Medellin and into the coffee lands before returning back to Bogota. In this audio diary, recorded by Steed Ride Club Leader, Rich Costello, you’ll follow the journey each day as the guy’s report from the roadside. There’s a recording from a walking tour of Medellin, where the guide shares his perspective of life under the rule of Pablo Escobar aka “Voldemort” (many locals don’t speak his name). You’ll hear the voices of the support crew, Andres and Sylvana as well as all the sounds of the countryside and towns the guys passed through on this epic trip. A big thank you goes to Atenea, Omar and Julian from Tingua Hidden Journeys who provided their expertise and contacts to bring the idea to life.
