CHRIS GREENAN
TRANS ALBA RACE DIRECTOR
This broken person here is Chris and that pain face comes from the 2018 edition of the Trans Am (somewhere in Kansas). So, he knows all about the pain you inflict on yourself when riding Trans Alba! Chris is a passionate road cyclist, ultra endurance rider and bike packing enthusiast. He's always got a few bikes in rotation and is the Scottish ambassador for Curve Cycling (ask him about his beautiful Curve Belgie V.3) but his beloved purple CAAD12 named "Sparkle Horse" probably does most of the work!
MOST MEMORABLE RIDE:
Trans Am Bike Race 2018 (4300mi)
FAVOURITE RACE:
Paris-Roubaix or dot watching TCR / Trans Am.

JACK DRIVER
DIRECTOR + MEDIA COORDINATOR
Jack is an Edinburgh born and raised road cyclist who is currently residing on the other side of the planet drinking cocktails, riding bikes and taking photographs. Jack genuinely enjoys cobbles and head winds so much so that he should have been born in Flanders. He's currently riding a Sandy Gilchrist built Raleigh. It's very pretty!
MOST MEMORABLE RIDE:
His first ever century around the Scottish Borders - most of which we've included in Trans Alba!
FAVOURITE RACE:
Tour de France but it has to have an Alpe d'Huez or Ventoux summit finish!
FAVOURITE QUOTE:
"Shut up legs" - Jens Voigt
MacKenzie Barker
ASSISTANT RACE COORDINATOR
Joining the team for 2026!
Mackenzie has never met a bike he didn't want to ride. Since leaving his old life in the rear-view mirror, his world now revolves entirely around two wheels—whether he's fixing them, riding them, or organizing the Towpath Talks in Edinburgh.
A true all-rounder, he rides fixed gear, road, MTB, and Audax all year round. You might catch him mashing the pedals on his beloved Dolan Pre Cursa, but for the long haul, his heart belongs to his Canyon Endurance— which his daughter has affectionately nicknamed "Jeff the Land Shark."
When he isn't in the saddle, he’s glued to the screen dot watching the Log Driver's Waltz, plotting the day he finally gets to ride it himself.
BMITB
TALBAR UNICORN MASCOT
BMITB - Quite simply the best mascot in the business.
MOST MEMORABLE RIDE:
Backpacking and wild camping with Dad!
FAVOURITE RACE:
Tour de France or anything where Quinn Simmons happens to be racing! Alexander likes to call him Free Bird!
FAVOURITE QUOTE:
"Full gas!" - Which is usually shouted at the top of his lungs before attacking his Dad on a climb!
