Simon Richmond
Lapierre Spicy 316 2009

Simon Richmond the second man to get into mountain biking but the main man behind allthegearnoidea.net, facebook group and main camera man.

Current bike is a Lapierre Spicy 516, after having a go on one at Dalby Forest it was love at first ride and ever since then he has not looked back. The Spicy has led to bigger and better things and the bike can always handle more than Simon can throw at it.

A good rider, not the bravest or the most skilled as self preservation kicks in now he's over 30. One of the quickest though and definately not put off by all day long epic rides.
