Heres Ben, one of the nice guys..I always think he has potential, but Journalism and  Fatherhood has kept him in the background..



Name - Ben Marchant






Club - IMBRC






Category - Masters






Years racing - Lots, disappeared for about 5 years but then came back to the sport 3 years ago. Never really trained properly but had my moments. Spend to much time working on Spoke and Outsider instead of riding.
Best result - Not necessarily highest result Part of 2nd place three man team at Relentless 24 hour race in Scotland, savage racing through the night! Watching the sun coming up while going flat out was pretty awesome too.






Bike - KTM Myroon hardtail / Giant Anthem X, both bought as framesets and blinged up.






Favourite Trail/ Race/ Biking Destination - So many but 3 rock is my spiritual home, been riding there for 17 years. Moab or Nelson (Canada) outside of Ireland.

Agata Tamulewicz

 Well i can't say much about Agata, as i don't know her that well , except to say she has certainly made her presence known since she began racing only this year..so hats off, hopefully she will go from strength to strength and do really well in Djouce
