After race one of the 27 event series, Grounds is leading A-grade.

Since its creation in 2012, Dubbo MTB Club has been steadily growing its membership and now in its third year, the Super Series continues to evolve and is becoming more sophisticated.

"But, one of our main objectives going forward is to attract more local women to the club," Dubbo MTB President Craig Arms said.

Grounds is an accomplished road cyclist with a list of quality achievements. She is the current NSW State Masters Road champion as well as a previous Queensland champion and dual Tour of Tasmania winner, to name but a few.

"My background is as a road rider, and I'm still doing that, but I've taken to the dirt more in recent years and I'm loving the challenge. Dubbo has a vibrant MTB scene," she said.

"The great thing about the club's races is that it's a handicap based system.

"From race to race I'm not competing against the boys to get across the line, it's all about how well I ride in relation to my own handicap. So, I'm out there racing against myself.

"I'm proud of our local MTB club, it is super friendly and good-humoured.

"They work hard to cater for a wide range of abilities, with good numbers in all grades, so you never feel alone.

"Everyone is free to compete as hard or as easy as they like and regular local racing gives you predictable times to plan your personal life around, with a young family, I appreciate that."

Not just content with the local club racing, Grounds has also been competing in the Evocities mountain bike series. Along with her team mate, Josiah Hoyle they make up the 'Dubbo Duo'.

Currently they are placed third in the pairs competition with the final round in Wagga Wagga approaching on September 7.

"The Evocities Series has been a big challenge, but a really rewarding one," she said.

"Lots of women have competed in that series including other girls from Dubbo.

"The Dubbo 300 was a great experience, the opportunity to compete with some of the country's best men and women on our local tracks was awesome.

"I've enjoyed racing in pairs because it means I can race without needing to train as much as a solo racer. Also good to share the pain with someone and work as a team."

Simone would like to encourage more local girls to get involved with mountain biking and the local club.

"MTB racing in general is super-friendly and family friendly, the kids can run around and play at races without having to worry about traffic," she said.

"If you want to stop between laps, you can stop between laps, it's all up to you."
