Video: Sandy Plenty - I am Endurance

Nov 9, 2015
by Pinkbike Staff  

Sandy Plenty might be a new name to many of you, but to others, he's a well known and well respected member of the UK mountain bike community and an integral part of the Shropshire scene. But there's more to Sandy that his overwhelming love for all things MTB. Overcoming a potentially life threatening heart condition as a child, Sandy went on to defy the doctors and fulfil his dream of not only riding mountain bikes, but racing them as well. Here's Sandy's story and for more, head over to Sealskinz.

The Shropshire shredder

Shropshire is packed with singletrack.

Sandy getting the miles in.

 Sandy is one of the nicest guys you will meet. Also knows every little detail of a bike hence he opened his shop, in my opinion one of the best bike shops in this country. www.thetrailhead.co.uk

 Never really understood what it meant to be a "Mon", but having spent a week riding alongside Sandy at the TP, I think I finally got it...

Thanks for the education

 Sandy is a top guy. He gave me my first insight of the mtb industry. Only see him from time to time but seems to cram so much in. Great video. Matt
