A mountain biker in the form of his life has his sights set on landing the world championship title next weekend.

Retro Jordans Cheap for Sale Josh Bryceland, 24, who started out riding off-road on the trails around Poynton, Cheshire hopes to capitalise on a string of race successes when he competes in Norway at the downhill mountain biking world championships.

He’s likely to start the race as favourite as current leader of the Union Cycliste Internationale (UCI) World Cup series.

Cheap Jordans for Sale Josh, who is nicknamed Rat Boy, said: “I’ve never had the result I want at the world championships, but this could be my year. There’s a lot to learn with downhill, physically and mentally, but I’ve matured as a racer. I don’t like to say too much but I’ve never felt fitter or stronger.”
Josh, who lives on a canal boat in Higher Poynton, grew up in Poynton with dad Iain, mum Louisa and sister Maria. Josh was inspired from a young age by his dad who raced motocross and introduced him to mountain biking world champ Steve Peat.

Josh, who started off racing for the North West Mountain Bike Centre in Cheadle, admits Poynton isn’t the hilliest place to practise downhill, so he’s spent a lot of time training in the Peak District and travelling to North Wales.

Josh said: “Since I was tiny I’ve ridden a mountain bike, downhill was the next step. Racing cross country is about fitness but downhill is more skills based, it’s more dangerous and exciting and that’s what I love.”
