Introduction

Hello my name is Matt. I like just about anything having to do with the outdoors. Along with mountain biking I like to run, hike, climb mountains, camp, and workout. I am always up for something new and exciting and look forward to future events.

How often and where do you like to ride?

On average I ride roughly twice per week. I have been riding at Dryer Rd. mostly of lately but I also ride at Harriett Hollister park, Tryon Park, and the Bristol Hills area. From time to time I will ride stretches of the Greenway trail.

What is your current weapon(s) of choice? 26", 29er, hard tail, fully, carbon, etc...

My weapon of choice is a Trek Paragon 29er hard tail.

How would you rate your technical riding ability 1-5? ..................... 1 "Smooth and easy" .......... 3 "Rocks, roots, logs & drops are ok with me" .......... 5 "I'm a downhill machine, rocky, rooty drops at high speeds!"

I would rate my technical riding ability according to the scale as between a 3 and 4.

How would you rate your climbing ability 1-5? ............................... 1 "I climb because I have to, not because I want to" .......... 3 "Climbing doesn't really bother me" ............... 5 "Lance, I climb it because its there and I like it!"

Since I am usually looking to take on a challenge, I would rate my climbing ability between 3 and 4.

What Matthew P Brophy is saying about this Meetup Group

The meetup group is a good idea in my opinion. The group was friendly and willing to cater to the individual skill level of the riders.
