LEE CRAIGIE
YOUR CONFERENCE HOST
Lee Craigie was an outdoor instructor and child
counsellor before turning full time mountain bike racer.
She became the British Mountain Bike Champion in
2013, member of Team GB at World and European
Championships and represented Scotland at the 2014
Commonwealth Games, but the secret to her sporting
success lies in her love of exploring big mountains
by bike.
Fascinated by the places we can take ourselves
emotionally by pushing our perceived limits, Lee now
rides long distances through wild places self-supported
by bike. She is also passionate about fair representation
in sport and established The Adventure Syndicate in an
effort to offer an alternative female sporting role model
and tell compelling stories to inspire, encourage and
enable everyone to feel capable of more. She lives in
Inverness, in her van or on her bike.
