Who are you? Why should I trust you to help me prepare?
I’m the Co-Founder of All Bodies on Bikes, a 4 time Unbound finisher, and a professional cyclist for Cannondale, Shimano, Ride with GPS and more! I’ve been riding gravel for nearly 8 years, with successful finishes at MidSouth Gravel, Unbound Gravel, SBT GRVL and many more. While I’ve never podiumed, I have come in last place many times, which I think is a testament to endurance and preparation.
