I'm a MTB punter that likes to do a bit of MTBO (orienteering on a bike) every now and then.

For some reason, I thought I might like give one of the Teva AR's a go. So I did, and had a great experience.

I like having a race to work towards as training and motivational goal. My wife Val has also done one race with me -- 2005 Teva Champs that were held in Nerang S.F. We competed the full course in 7hr45min with Tim Clarke. Tim's way too fast for us, so he's racing with another team, but we still train together.
