Imagine you love nothing more than getting on a bike and hitting the trails.
Then imagine being able to do just that in some of the world's biggest travel destinations such as Italy, France and Spain.
That is the reality for Rotorua mountain bikers Sam Shaw, Keegan Wright and Daniel Self who spent much of the New Zealand winter competing in the Enduro World Series overseas.
Shaw was able to race the full eight-race series for the first time this year, after being signed as a sponsored athlete by Zerode Bikes. He finished 66th overall with his best result being 48th in round-five in Italy.
"I found the racing really fun because it's really diverse. There's a good mixture of everything if you go to every stop - different dirt, different trees, different hills," Shaw says.
