Gravel Champs

Gravel Champs are people we admire; they are gravel cyclists with additional challenges such as Parkinson’s, PTSD, MS, or Type 1 Diabetes. We share their stories through highlighting them as one of our Gravel Champs to inspire us to get out and ride.We hope this inspires others with similar challenges to join us on our Dirty Freehub routes to enjoy the beauty of the places we ride and to become part of our cycling community.

Know someone who should be nominated to be one of our Gravel Champs? Or do you think you belong here? Drop us a note at [email protected].

This program is funded in part by kind donations from our cycling community and in part from a grant from Travel Oregon.
