Frazer McCubbing, 17, from the Ae Village is a keen downhill mountain biker who has recently signed for the Steve Peat Syndicate team. He has recently had an article published on the DGWGO web site.
During 2012 and 2013 Frazer had great race results which means in 2014 he can race in the UCI World Cup Downhill series. However, riders must fund their own transport. Therefore a flight to Australia is required! Rachael McDougal is spearheading fundraising to get Frazer to the race in Cairns with lots of help from local people, businesses and the community.
The Australia race is on 24th-27th April 2014. The local community has been helping ‘Frazer’s Fund’ in various ways; Lesley-Ann Johnstone proprietor of LActive led a number of Kettlebell classes at Ae bike shop and very kindly donated the takings to the fund. The cafe also remained open, providing much needed hydration to the participants!
We raised approx £100, so a big thank you to all who helped and attended. Many thanks to Kevin of KSSimages for attending and taking the following photos. Another upcoming event is the Pub Quiz at The Cavens Arms, Dumfries on Monday 21st April 8pm start.
One partner. No competitors. Full visibility across the region.
