British Champs Rider Bio - Gary McCrae

He's another member of Team Leslie Bikeshop - they get everywhere! A very successful rider in the Veteran category and with high hopes for the Championships following an ever-successful SXC season and also being pretty nifty on a 'cross bike. Make sure you give him a massive cheer this weekend as he sets off on Sunday to take on the testing Cathkin Braes course!
