"Scotty & I were headed away on the cusp of the COVID-19 pandemic to ride & shoot at some private trails in central Northern Tasmania. At the time of our 3 day departure to the bush we were not aware of the extent of its reach, as days progressed Scott's flights home were cancelled one after the other. This was a bubble of extreme uncertainty, this emotional & unpredictable future that we were facing started to hit us, hard. The unknown was overwhelming, being where we were, doing what we both love, in a place of solitude gave us time to really focus on why we do what we do, discovering endless reasons that make Tasmania the incredible place that it is, both on & off the bike.
Reflecting on just what riding is to Scott,

we chatted, drank, laughed & drank some

more to dig into what we are really grateful

for. Sometimes you just need to stop everything

        and reflect. "
