Bec McConnell
Bec is the current Australian Champion and has represented Australia at two Olympic Games – 2012 and 2016. Her highest achievements so far include racing to Bronze at the Commonwealth Games in 2014, third at the World Cup in Cairns 2016, fifth in Albstadt Germany 2017, Winning the Swiss Bike Cup in Granichen and Winning the Under 23 World Cup Series in 2013.
Mountain Biking is a family sport for Bec – she began racing with her Dad and Brother and now travels the world racing alongside her new husband – Dan..
Bec is a true Canberra girl – while she loves to travel the World racing, nothing satisfies her more than Kingsley’s Chips & Gravy followed by Goodberry’s for dessert.
In 2018 Dan will be racing on board Mondraker bikes as a part of the Spanish Primaflor Mondraker Rotor Racing Team.
