About Steve Bate

West Yorkshire, England, Planet Earth

I’m 6’ 2” New Zealander based in the UK racing bikes for a living, whose interests are wild bike packing adventures in winter conditions and messing about in my workshop making thing from wood. And messing around with my dog Murphy!

Memorable Ride

I attempted the Highland Trail 550 a couple of years go in the worst winter in Scotland for 30 years! I ended up having to bail with frost bite, aside from that, it was an amazing time pushing myself to the absolute limit in a beautifully wild place.

Favorite Tire

Probably going against the grain here, but I’m a fan of the Telegraph.
