PROJECTS & COMMUNITY WORK

Alex is committed to giving back to the cycling community. He has hosted local bikepacking clinics in Fayetteville, organized races and festivals, and partnered with independent makers to develop gear tailored for rugged adventures. His work highlights a dedication not only to racing but also to fostering the growth of the sport.

My journey through the world of ultra-endurance bikepacking has been built on dedication, resilience, and countless hours spent preparing for some of the toughest races on earth. But even the strongest individual effort is made possible by a community of people and brands who believe in my mission.

I’m proud to be supported by partners who share a commitment to quality and adventure. South City Stitchworks, Mica Cycles, Cane Creek Components, CarboRocket, Botched Bikes, and Black Sheep Bikes have each played a meaningful role in my progression as a cyclist. Whether through precision components, custom gear, nutrition, or thoughtfully engineered frames, these companies have helped me push further to take on increasingly ambitious challenges. Their support means more than equipment. It represents trust, collaboration, and a shared belief in what’s possible.

PARTNERS

Ultra-endurance racing is not only physically and mentally demanding; it’s also a significant financial undertaking. Travel, fuel, race logistics, gear testing, and equipment replacements add up quickly over a season. Especially one that involves over 4,000 miles of rugged terrain. Support from partners, whether through product assistance or financial backing, has a direct and measurable impact on my ability to line up at the start of these iconic races.

As I continue to expand my reach and take on larger challenges, I welcome the opportunity to collaborate with additional brands who share these values. Partnering with me means supporting a rider who is committed, authentic, and deeply connected to the world of adventure cycling. It also means becoming part of a story defined by purpose, representation, and the pursuit of human potential.
