Well, we're slowly working our way through the team members.
It's now time for Dave Maud to give us an insight in to why his diet enjoys the training that is associated with being in Bendigo Youth Racing. As well as what he does for a living and his phobia of Dogs whilst out on the bike.

A Big Thumbs Up from Dave

18
2) Where do you live?
Kennington, Bendigo
Kennington, Bendigo
3) What is your job and where do you work?
I'm a 2nd year apprentice plumber, working for the old man Phil Maud Plumbing. Not quite as a useful trade to the team as some of the other guys, but you never know Daryl could get a blocked toilet one day.
4) Number of Races?
Twice Bridge
Once Breakthrough
Thrice 'thaggi
And also been to some others helping out in the pits.

5) You started HPV racing at Flora Hill. What was it that made you choose the Pedal Vehicles Class?Well, I guess I've always been into bikes, from being one of those rats down the local trails to travelling all over Australia racing the downhill mountain bike national series. And just having mates that also enjoy riding is good.
6)You have been involved in some pretty successful teams over the years.
What race/moment during a race stands out a favourite for you?
I'd say my favourite track is Wonthaggi, so any of our races at Wonthaggi would be up there. I can't really pick one moment from a race because every race is great. That’s why we do it.
7) What is the best thing about being involved in BYR?
One of the best thing’s would have to be the training, because with the amount of Macca’s I eat I can tell it's going to be all about the belly from whenever we decided to stop racing! I’m also here for all the fun that we have with such a close group of mates.
8) What is the Hardest part about BYR?
The hardest part would have to be the training, especially this time of year with all the boys working full time were lucky to get our gear on before the sun goes down. Lately is seems we’ve had an audience of kangaroos jumping on the road in front of us and even the occasional angry dog.

9) And finally BYR don't promote crashes but they are an unavoidable part of our sport. What is the most spectacular crash you have been involved in or seen?
In 06, I do recall having a bit of a serious crash at the top of the back straight at Murray Bridge, using a fairly slow orange primary school bike that popped out of nowhere as a ramp to jump the barriers. Luckily not resulting in any damage to either vehicle, just a fairly stern warning from the marshals.
