Getting ready to take on the world


After a cold wet start to the year Mud Dock manager Matt Carr and Rob Lee are preparing to take the World 24 hour solo racing world by storm. This is the time of year to get as many miles in the legs as possible and get down to racing weight aswell as getting used to the new bikes and kit.

Last year ended in disaster for Matt , he was due to fly to the US to compete in the world solo championships in Santa Cruz and was favourite to win the single speed title but due to passport issues was not able to fly.His plan for this year is to finally get his hands on the world championship jersey and hopefully break his own world record at the same time. Matt will once again be riding for the Trek team and competing on the Trek 69er singlespeed.

Rob had a pretty good year, racing wise, with wins at the Bontrager Twentyfour12 and the Nightrider12 but ended his season early due to situations within his personal life. This season he is looking to get back on the winning trail and is slowly rebuilding himself after time off the bike. His move to Bristol in October marked a new chapter for Rob who is keen to intergrate himself into the biking community here whilst continuing his development as one of the UK's premier solo racers.

We are very pleased to have two of the best 24 hour racers working at Mud Dock and both are easily approachable and readily available for advice and any queries you may have regarding the world of bike racing. Why not drop in and have a chat?
