@lostandfoundbikeride returns next weekend, June 2

@lostandfoundbikeride returns next weekend, June 2-4 to Portola City Park in Northern California's Lost Sierra. We'll be there!

Lost and Found offers 3 high-sierra gravel courses (35, 60 or 100 mi) set against the backdrop of beautiful mountain + valley views w/lively aid stations and wildflowers galore.

The cherry on top is a weekend-long festival with camping, live music, food trucks, and a beer garden. Our bikes will be showcased at the Builders' Bazaar alongside frames from other custom builders. #buildersbazaar

BONUS! This is all for a good cause. Lost and Found is organized by the Sierra Buttes Trail Stewardship (@sierratrails). Proceeds from the race support their mission to revitalize mountain communities, using trails as the tool.

WOOT!

Let’s face it, early gravel bikes started out as cyclocross bikes.

We built this Holeshot cx bike in 2016, designed to be fast and agile on gravel AND around the cross track.

We use @columbus_official Life main tubes and Columbus Zona stay on the back end to give the frame the balance between snap and some spring feedback under hard riding. The frame will flex just enough to give you a little snap back.

Pair this with a Paragon headtube and tapered carbon fork up front and the result is a frame that feels planted but light.

It's easy to pick up and flick the front wheel but stable and predictable in loose terrain.

The real sweet spot is the BB drop on the Holeshot. We use a slightly higher BB shell (68mm BB drop) which gives the bike a little more snap and it wants to bunny hop over anything!

Add a @silca_velo frame pump to this mix and it’s ready for any road, any trail, anytime. Cross is coming.

"I’ve ridden a lot of miles on vermont dirt roads and had a lot of time to think about what might make the perfect Vermont bike, and while that means different things to different people, I think this Breadwinner B-Road is pretty perfect for long days & fast days on our mix of pavement, dirt, and chunky gravel.

I had the chance to put it to the test on the @new_england_randonneurs Green Mountain 200k and let me tell you the crew at Breadwinner know how to build a bike. It turns out steel is, as they say, in fact very real."

"It quite literally feels like this bike was built

"It quite literally feels like this bike was built for me.”

Anne Moore is passionate about ultra-endurance riding (“Any distance gravel riding,” she says “with 200k+ rides being my favorite.”) and came to Breadwinner looking for a bike that could go the distance.

A somewhat unique riding position had caused injuries in the past, and Anne was eager for a more comfortable solution. “I needed something very specific to allow me to go the extra miles without beating myself up.”
