Simon Noble is a mountain biker and friend of mine who lives in Mecca that is Queenstown, New Zealand. Originally from Maffra, Victoria, Australia, Simon’s life has revolved around mountain biking ever since he saved up for his first DH bike in 2009 and started racing soon after.

Although a huge believer in the positive experiences mountain biking can offer, Simon’s journey on the bike has not been without challenges, both mentally and physically.

We dive into the nitty gritty of a crash that landed Simon in a wheel chair for months and how that experience has changed his perspective on life, motivating him to push the boundaries of his riding to new physical and mental thresholds, all for a good cause.

Simon can be found at @simeeze and  @thelongestlongday on Instagram where you can follow his epic Everest Challenge journey. If you'd like to donate to the Making Trax Foundation, do so via this link: https://givealittle.co.nz/cause/the-longest-long-day
