About the authors
Richard Staton started mountain biking back in Bristol in 1991 on a Trek 970 while on a student work placement from Sheffield City Polytechnic. Being based most of the time in Sheffield those early years were spent riding in the Peak District. After graduation he moved to the South Lakes where he stayed in order to feed his addiction. More than ten years on, he’s still here and still riding!
