MBR Mountain Bike Rider

EDGAR DIAZ

-

I’m originally from the Philippine­s and I’m working over in the UK now for South Eastern Railways and living in London. I first did Ard Rock back in 2018 and got an entry into the (easier) Marathon event, but this time I prayed to all the Gods (laughs) and finally got an entry into the main event. So, I got a lucky ticket and here we are.

mbr : How did you find the first two stages?

On a scale of one to 10, this is definitely a 10 (laughs). Probably the hardest riding I ever did here in the UK so far. I’ve ridden Coed y Brenin and Forest of Dean, but this in the wet is something else – so slippery, so technical.

mbr : Have you enjoyed it then, or is it too much?

Ha! Well I’ve enjoyed it so far anyway (laughs), and I’ll need to see what the rest is like. I’ll definitely be back for more if I can get in next year.
