Ryan Leech January 2008 update

Jan 8, 2008

Many of us are now settling in to the new year, back to school, back to work, back to routine, and for me, back to riding!! For one month I didn’t ride trials; snuck in a few mountain bike rides, but no trials! I’m just getting in to the groove again as I have a demo coming up next week, and so kicks off my 2008 season!!I have had some time over the holidays to allow my intentions for the season to form, and one of the areas that I hope to continue developing is my Trials of Life program. The children of today will shape the future of tomorrow, and with a world that is changing so fast, it seems vital that we be sure children have the framework to make sure that change is toward a positive, sustainable world. This is a deep and complicated topic, but one I’m excited to explore.

My sponsorship roster for the year is solid; I’m excited to be on the Norco Factory Team for the 11th year in a row! Shimano has re-signed with me for another two seasons and Marzocchi is customizing some forks for me as we speak. This will also be my tenth season with Ryders Eyewear, and Mace Clothing polishes off the package. I am one fortunate dude to have so many great people to work with!!

I’m building up my new Fluid LT, just waiting for my forks and a package from Shimano, should be a pretty swank bike! This ride will travel with me all over the place, and I’m looking forward to many pedal powered adventures.

I have a new website being designed right now, and will have that live in a month or two. My blog/newsletter will be redesigned allowing me to include more photos, video, and writing topics from my travels. Talking about writing, keep an eye out in Mountain Biking magazine for my column on living a green mountain biking lifestyle.

Have an awesome year everyone!!

 Thats awsome that he is keeping up with the Trials of Life program. He is a huge influence to me as a rider, to not give up and to not hold back..... hopefully i get to see one of his demos again soon!

 yea cant wait again till he comes back to Regina to see his demo, last year was my first year seeing it but after seeing it, it showed me how hard it is to do trials riding, good luck this season!

 my favorite rider hands down. he is amazing at trials (best i know of for sure). i don't even do trials riding and he still blows my mind. i met him at the toronto bike show last year and he was a very cool and down to earth guy. what sucks is that his bike got lost on the plane so i couldn't see him perform. it sucked so hard! literally the only reason i went to the bike show was to see his show!
