How long have you been with Bayside BMX Club?

2 1/2 Years

What made you join the club?

My son Hugo saw the track and from the moment he first rode it he was hooked. When we first came to our first Tuesday night gates we were made to feel so welcome (Darren & Jo – thank you!) so we joined.

What do you drink?

I’m quite partial to the odd bourbon, or a real treat is Southern Comfort. However neither have given me enough Dutch courage to get my wheels off the ground

Do you do any other sports?

I do endurance marathons at work…

No need for bulbs anymore. We need to upgrade all the track lighting to LED!!!
