Shred/Bikemagic.com Summer tour

By Mark Dangerfield

Bikemagic.com is now proud to announce the launch of the Shred/Bikemagic.com team for this summer's races and events.

We have been working regularly with Shred Magazine and Steve Toze for over the past 18 months have really enjoyed their easy going laid back vibe. When the opportunity came up to get involved with their team we couldn't resist.

Since the start of Shred magazine way back in 1996 Steve has been building his team based around both good times and good results. The team is now six members strong - 4 XC/Enduro riders and two downhillers (who will be racing in some World Cup events) but the focus is still on having a good time.

Over the season, you will see the Shred/Bikemagic.com team all around the country, and we look forward to not only meeting more readers but also providing you with great event reports when the dust has settled.

In the next few months we will be bringing you details on the team, team bikes, and the vans to look out for, but firstly lets welcome the team :

Steve Toze (Masters XC)

Richie Rowland (Senior XC)

Andy Carnell (Masters XC)

Nigel Muntz (Senior XC)

Peter Drew (Senior Class DH)

Ashley Mullane (Elite Class DH)

We also want to thank other team sponsors, Cove Bikes, Raceface components, E-thirteen chain guides, Giro Helmets, Shimano SPD shoes, Endura Clothing, SDG Saddles.
