Bob’s 2024 Santa Cruz Megatower

“I’ve been riding bikes for a long time (I started racing in the mid-90s) and would call myself a bit of an all-rounder. I dabble in it all, from enduro racing, to gravel riding and even competing in the BCBR with Trevor. Jack of All Trades, Master of None, hah! I wanted to try something different this year and go for a “big bike” primed for tackling raw steeps where I live in the Fraser Valley”.
