Matt is one of the founding Molefathers of the MuddyMoles, as well as designing and running the website. He rides an Orange Five and an On-One Inbred singlespeed with an old Marin Muirwoods in reserve. You can even find a Specialized Secteur road bike in his garage.

If you’ve ever wondered how we got into mountain biking and how the MuddyMoles started, well wonder no more.
