Training Ground: Melbourne

Training Ground: Melbourne

by Daniel Orsini

Tara Neyland calls Melbourne, Victoria home. MAAP was established in the same city, and has thrived thanks to the booming, enthusiastic and supportive bike community there – of which Neyland is a part.

Neyland makes her living as an osteopath – a musculoskeletal practitioner that emphasises the interrelationship of structure and function, with a focus on manual therapy, exercise rehab and education to assist with pain, injury and preventative care – but cycling is integrated into everything she does. She rides to work at her clinic, and a large chunk of her client base are from the Melbourne cycling community.
