🎉 Happy Birthday, Rochelle! 🎉

Today we're celebrating the woman who keeps Curtin Engine Recondition running. Rochelle is the one who keeps everything organised, everyone on track, and somehow makes the impossible look easy.

We honestly don't know what we'd do without her, this place just wouldn't run the same. She's appreciated by the whole team and loved by our customers, and we're lucky to have her.

Have an amazing birthday, Rochelle! We hope you have a fantastic day, you deserve it! 🥳🎂

Full disclosure: This post was written by Rochelle (me)... because no one else around here knows how! 😂

What an awesome weekend at the Finch Hatton MAD Gravity Enduro Flow weekend!

Curtin Engine Reconditioning was proud to sponsor the Shred Kelly stage, and it definitely lived up to its reputation, claiming a bit of skin over the three-day event! 😅

It was fantastic to see over 300 riders competing and enjoying such a well run, family friendly event. A huge congratulations to the MAD Mountain Bike Club for putting on another top-notch weekend, we're proud to support our local riding community.

We also had three of our own racing:
🏁 Pagan tackled her very first race with plenty of courage.
🥈 Rochelle finished 2nd in the Women's E-Bike category.
🥇 Ethan took out 1st in the Elite category!

Well done to everyone involved—we're already looking forward to next year! 🚵
