As many of you have likely already heard, Kiwi freeride mountain bike legend Kelly McGarry is no longer with us. The gentle giant will be best remembered not just for his fearless nature on two wheels, but more importantly for his radiant smile and warm personality off of the bike. Anyone who was lucky enough to even spend just a few minutes chatting with Kelly will know exactly what we’re talking about.
In light of this tragic news of Kelly McGarry’s passing we put together a look back at the few times that we’ve been fortunate enough to point our camera his way.
