Time is a funny thing... Sometimes it flies by and others it slows down. We have weathered many storms, lived in many countries, and made 7 home together. It feels like yesterday that we met which is crazy because it's been 15+ years! Thanks for making me an honest man 9 years ago! I can't wait for our next adventure! Happy anniversary to my partner-in-crime!

NEW BIKE DAY - there are bikes that when you see them for the first time you know are special. have always had this mystique about them since I started in the cycling industry 15 years ago in Denver. These bikes are always mythical, perhaps it's because of the material that they are made out of, titanium. I can say that the devil truly is in the details, and these photos certainly show the little touch points that Moots takes with each bike. Not to mention I think it's one of the best logos in the industry!

I never thought I would own one, but when the possibility presented itself as I embarked on racing I decided to make the investment. That ks !

I can confirm after three large rides that this bike is perfect in every way ! Can't wait to race it and hopefully again in East Africa in 2023. If you are interested in one let me know.

Routt 45 - 56cm
Drivetrain - Shimano GRX Di2

The past two months have been crazy! Svalbard, Kenya, the Pyrénées.

Take me back, take me away from this oppressive 40° heat. Take me back, take me to that skin track. That skin track that magically floated above the glacial lagoon and the impressive seracs.

The ice and snow at the time seemed so cold and now I dream of it...

To new beginnings and fond farewells. 🌅
Today I start a new journey with the Haute Route to grow and help build a new spectacular multiday gravel ride in epic places around the world.

My time in Geneva and working with Katusha Sports was incredible and I met so many people and made some incredible memories. I am sad that the katusha home rides will be over, but I am sure I will see and ride with most of you.

The Gravel Epic race will certainly be a new adventure and I can't wait to grow this burgeoning community here in Europe and afar. Get excited for all things Gravel! Onwards and upwards, and remember to always keep the rubber side down! Now it's time to start the next chapter. 🚵‍♂️

Just need to remind myself to keep pushing through, no matter how deep or white it gets!

Sometimes the hardest things are the most rewarding. I never thought I could ride across the Alps via gravel passes, breathtaking cols, the awe inspiring passos of the dolomites, and breathtaking swiss climbs. Gaining inspiration from my friend and having a crazy friend in to join me and plan made it all possible!

Here is Konstantine making his way through the snow on a day that started with cold hard rain, turning into blowy snow, and finally with our triumphant arrival at Prato Allo Stelvio. Take me back!

Is winter over yet🥶???????

This was a shot from last October as I crested the summit of sustenpass in an early season blizzard. Needless to say the TransAlpine Groad trip was epic.

Haha, the days are getting longer the afternoons are almost balmy and I've shaved my legs again! It must mean that spring has arrived. Winter seems to be getting shorter and shorter the older I get, but it means more time for riding!

Hope that all of you have survived this winter and are getting ready for an adventure filled spring, summer, and fall!

Let me know if you have any big trips planned.

Spring has sprung here in Switzerland! Excited to get back out on the tarmac, explore those gravel roads, and feel the sunshine on my face and legs.

Now where did I put my razor last fall.....

Coming into to the weekend like.....

There's something to be said about beautiful gravel roads in the snowy dolomites. Can't wait for the snow to start melting up high and to start exploring again.

Whats your favorite gravel ride?

Anyone else over the black and white of winter. I am yearning to go back to the colorful rides of this last autumn. These shots are from the last day of my TransAlpine Groad trip in October. The colors in the Swiss Alps are not to be missed.

If you can imagine this photo was actually taken 4 months ago! Crazy! It was one of the coldest Octobers the Alps have had in almost 25 years. Perfect for a TransAlpine Groad trip! Would not change it for the world, it's riding in blizzards like this that make the lasting memories!
