- SEE THE NOPRO’S FIRST AMY’S RIDE SA VIDEO HERE
Some say he has a carbon fibre skeleton, and his breath smells like chain lube. All we know is he’s called the NoPro. And he’s going to film Amy’s Ride SA’s toughest climbs.
We’ve found someone that will be giving you some killer tips for Amy’s Ride SA this year. Not only will he be filming the toughest sections of Amy’s Ride SA – but he will also be answering some key questions that you might have in the lead-up to the ride.
Who is this guy? Well he’s so well known – we can’t even show you his face – just his shoes. Or more precisely, his cleats.
And yes – we can also show you his helmet.
In any case, he’ll be making a bunch of videos for Amy’s Ride SA prior to the big day. And while you’re waiting for his first video – why not check out his video of Norton Summit. Might make for a nice training ride.
Or even better – his summary of a classic – climbing Mount Lofty.
So without further ado, behold the NoPro.
