Team What's Gotten India

Meet Team "What's Gotten India" – Clair, Fi, and Matt – three fun-loving mates from Rotorua, New Zealand, who share a passion for socializing, mountain biking, and eating (especially when adventure calls for refueling!).

Fi, the understated power engine of the group, is co-owner of Velosolutions NZ, the masterminds behind world-class pump tracks. An athlete through and through, she’s conquered multi-day adventure races and recently walked the entire length of New Zealand’s South Island solo. With a Personal Locator Beacon in hand and a knack for getting through any sticky situation, Fi is the group’s quiet hero – and quite possibly their only chance of survival.

Clair is the bougie brains behind the outfit, known for her champagne taste despite being recently divorced and cash-strapped after buying out her ex-husband. By day, she’s the Account and Marketing Manager for a Timber Preservation company, but by night (and every adventure in between), she’s a hilarious whirlwind who never fails to dive headfirst into escapades for which she’s utterly unprepared. Whether hiking the Himalayas or signing up for unplanned mountain biking marathons, Clair’s unfiltered, laugh-out-loud blog posts keep everyone entertained along the way.

Then there’s Matt – co-director of a tech company called Incredible and a man who just turned 40, ready to conquer… well, at least to tag along. An extrovert who knows everyone (and their cousin), he’s the social glue that keeps the team laughing. Despite being a complete liability in any adventure-related activity, Matt’s charm, wit, and knack for making friends in all the wrong (and right) places make him a beloved member of the crew.

It’s Fi’s survival smarts, Clair’s fearless optimism, and Matt’s people skills that might just get them through the madness of the Rickshaw Run. Strap in – this trio is about to bring some Rotorua chaos to India!
