While Martyn Ashton isn’t able to ride after his injury, Sam Pilgrim carries the party torch and shows us that even a road bike can kill it in the dirt! What’s crazy is that he’s doing it on an off the shelf bike and parts. For more on the bike and components, here is a bonus video showing the building of Sam’s Ridley Noah:
In 2009, I was 250lbs, and racing cars with the SCCA. I bought a bike for myself for my birthday as I was always interested in mountain biking. I had a few friends that were “recovering car racers” that raced mountain bikes and I thought I’d give it a try. I picked it up pretty damn fast, fell in love, and created my next obsession. 3 years later, I’m 170lbs, been riding better and better and got into racing. It's been downhill (uphill??) since.
