RIDER PROFILE
Name: Holly Harris
Age: 22
Height: 190cm
Home town: Armidale NSW
Years Riding: 7 years
Occupation: Co-owner of Bicycle Central on Marsh
Chainring size: 32
Bikes: MTB - MERIDA team Ninety Six because who doesn't need a little extra suspension in their life ? I am also running a SRAM Eagle Drive train (which is heavenly), with a Quarq power metre.
ROADIE: MERIDA Scultura 9000
Discipline: Nil although I do dabble in XCO. Wish I could go enduro with my blessing of wild unicorns. Also I did an XCM race once, I am also very rarely spotted on my Merida Scultura 9000.
Favourite Race: Obviously the UNE 12hrs in the Piney ! Actually any race in Armidale because the NEMTB crew is a bunch of legends and they can't put a foot wrong!
Favourite place to ride: Armidale Pine forest, mostly just because I don't get lost :)
