Enduro

Athlete match: Meirah Honeysett

My name is Julz. I started riding during Covid to keep myself and my dog entertained and active. I quickly fell in love with the sport. It’s been three years since I got my first full-suspension mountain bike and I have never looked back. My first race was the Murderhorn Maiden that NMBC hosts each year. I loved the intensity, the atmosphere, and the effort required to ride an enduro race. I signed up for the Island Cup Series in the sport category the next year, and found myself at the top of the overall podium. I took first place in the expert category the following year. Although I am not the fastest rider, I am stubborn and determined. I was the only one to complete all of the races in the series - giving me the points I needed to win. You can usually find me sessioning drops and jumps or riding bike park in the summer. I’m always up for a challenge and love progression, especially with friends.

Is there anything in this upcoming season you are especially excited about?
This season I am excited to ride more tech and larger jumps. I love ticking off features and feeling more connected with my bike. I am not racing as much this summer, and I want to work on specific skills rather than just getting down the mountain as fast as I can. My partner and I have a bike park trip on the mainland plan, and trips to Powell River and Hornby to see some new terrain. I’m excited to get comfortable with being uncomfortable and learning new things!
