Our Story

The Trek-Shimano Australia MTB team has evolved from Anytime Fitness Trek in 2010 to Target Trek then Trek Racing Australia. The team has always been passionate about supporting, encouraging and nurturing some of Australia’s best MTB riders, so they can mix it with the World’s best, with the backing and support they need and deserve.

Trek-Shimano Australia is owned and operated by Peter Dowse, who has spent many years helping athletes achieve both short and long-term goals in a relaxed, friendly and supportive team environment.

The team has produced a number of National Champions, guided athletes towards pro contracts, achieved UCI World Cup podiums and Commonwealth and Olympic Games representation.

Senior riders help create a fantastic team atmosphere, mentoring the younger riders who are the future of Australian mountain biking. The Team is committed to their riders, making sure to keep it fun, but at the same time showing them the pathway to the top.

Peter Dowse 

Peter Dowse has been riding mountain bikes since the early days, when he went to Whistler a skier and came home a mountain biker. His reputation as someone who will always lend a hand is legendary. Peter’s role as team owner/manager encompasses many things: his expertise as a top professional bike mechanic; his knowledge as a Sports Administration graduate; his ability to source quality products for team riders; his significant experience as a coach; his advice as a skilled technical rider, not to mention perfect bottle handups. But most important is Peter’s almost magical way of helping athletes make the most of their performance and achieve their goals.
