Marcel Govers - Owner
Riding is in his blood. Marcel is passionate about riding and upskilling new riders to discover the passion of cycling.
He cycled his road bike across several Asian countries, where he raced on amateur level in Singapore, Indonesia and Malaysia. While still living in The Netherlands he did several MTB trips into Belgium and Germany.
Marcel has over a decade of experience in managing companies in several industries.
While in Singapore, Marcel was Club captain for a major cycling Club and Race team. With up to 70 riders joining on Thursday night rides (50KM) and up to 50 riders joining on the weekly Round the Island (RTI - 120 KM) rides the club was a great breeding ground for race talent. We would love to copy that same model for Toowoomba.
Favourite ride: Toowoomba - Brisbane (on the backroads)
Marcel Recommends: Specialized Creo - The smooth performance of the Specialized Creo e-bike in the Toowoomba hills is just amazing. It truly will extend every rider's ride and keep it enjoyable. Marcel's longest ride on a Creo: 160 KM Toowoomba - Strathpine.
