And finally, we meet Troy. At 16 years young, he’s the ‘grasshopper’ of our team who led Flora Hill SC’s victorious Old Bearded Mate team across the line first at last year’s RACV Energy Breakthrough. There’s a 9 year gap between the oldest team member (Nige) and Troy.
Age: 16, the grass hopper of the team
Where do you live: Spring Gully. Home of Callan Ridge. (mothers lock your young daughters up!)
What is your job and where do you work?
Apprentice welder, East End Engineering, East Bendigo.
How does your job connect to BYR?
Well, Daryl might need a horse float or a dog trailer one day.
What’s the best about being in BYR? Having a laugh and the friendship.
What’s part of BYR do you find most challenging?
Getting everywhere without my P’s
Best HPV Moment or memory?
It would have to be winning and riding the final stint at the RACV Energy Breakthrough last year with 'Old Bearded Mate'. Being a year 9 and 10 team, we’d all worked so hard together to reach our goal. When it all came together in Maryborough and we ended up beating 17 and 18 year olds in year 12, we were pretty happy with the effort.
What’s the best crash you’ve ever seen or been involved in ?
I can’t say I have seen many good crashes! In 6 races, I haven’t crashed yet.
Let’s hope that Troy’s crash-free run continues!
Stay tuned for the release of our team list shortly...
