Grit With Wisdom
Jarrad Connolly - On Racing, Mental Training, and how to approach challenges in your riding.
Today on the show we have an avid biking enthusiast - Jarrad Connolly! Hailing from the sunny shores of Newcastle on the Central Coast of Australia, Jarrad has been living and breathing bikes since he took his first steps. He's got a passion for all things two-wheeled and believes that it's not about fancy gear, it's about the pure joy of riding.
Jarrad's journey in the biking world started early, racing BMX and tearing it up on motorcycles before he even hit six years old. By the time he was eight, he was already racing motorbikes, and in his teens, he was even a mechanic for national motorbike races. Talk about a lifetime of two-wheeled experiences!
Fast forward to today, Jarrad is the sales manager at Steed Cycles and the host of the Steed Cycles Podcast. But that's not all - he also shares his extensive knowledge and expertise as a coach through the DEVO Youth MTB Academy right here on the North Shore. With over 30 years of riding and racing under his belt, Jarrad has truly built a foundation of wisdom and skill.
Whether it's pavement or dirt, Jarrad's love for all things bikes knows no bounds. So get ready to be inspired, entertained, and fired up as we dive into the world of biking with the one and only Jarrad Connolly.
