D: pretty much everything at some point.
L: British Colombia
R: Ridden pretty much every type of MTB now, to the point of not really having ‘dream bike’ any more, they’re all just bikes, I like to think I ride nice ones though. Still stuck in the ‘Brit’ part of British Colombia though, there is still an ember of chance I might make it there though.
