It’s brilliant to hear that Rachel Atherton is being inducted into the Mountain Bike Hall of Fame – a well-deserved recognition of her achievements and talent. She’s joined by freeride legend Darren Berrecloth, Pinkbike founder Radek Burkat, 1992 DH world champ Dave ‘Cully’ Cullinan, and the guys who put Whistler on the MTB map, Dave Kelly and Rob McSkimming.

Want to help those less fortunate this Christmas?
