Meet the passionate and experienced members of our Mountain Bike Tours team. With their diverse skills and engaging personalities, our team members will provide you with a memorable mountain biking experience. Tim and Jennifer make up the management team and together bring a wonderful mixture of environmental and cycling passion to Mountain Bike Tours (NSW).

Jennifer Croes

Jennifer Croes – owner

Jennifer, aka “Jungle Jenn”, has spent the last six years exploring jungles and working with wild pumas in the Amazon basin, rescuing and rehabilitating orangutans in Borneo, and – most recently – working and caring for giant pandas in China. Jennifer wants to share her love for wildlife and the environment. What better way to experience this than on a two-wheel adventure through one of Australia’s last remaining rainforests.
Tim-Rice

Tim Rice – owner

Tim, an enthusiastic cyclist, has followed races such as the Tour de France and the Tour Down Under and has been racing and touring for over 20 years. Two special memories have been his solo rides – 3000 kms around France and cycling from Byron Bay to Sydney, where the dream of opening a cycling business in beautiful Byron Bay first started.

Luke

Luke Jones – guide

Big Luke is an experienced, qualified and very enthusiastic guide.
Originally from the UK, he spent many of his summer holidays escaping his studies as a Forensic Psychologist to work as a mountain bike guide in kids Summer Camps in the USA. Once he obtained his degree he ventured further south and has spent the last few years working in New Zealand’s adrenaline capital – Queenstown. He then travelled over to ditch to Australia where the Mountain Bike Tours team snapped him up to lead tours through the amazing scenery around Byron Bay and up into the World Heritage listed Rainforest.
In his own words he can’t believe he’s getting paid to do what he loves.
