Alison Tetrick might just be the biggest name in gravel cycling – certainly on the women's side. The American, whose grandfather has 17 masters national championships, is a former winner of Dirty Kanza. She stepped into gravel racing at the end of a longstanding road career in which she raced for teams such as Tibco, Astana BePink and Cylance Pro Cycling.
Similar to Peter Stetina, Tetrick's decision to step away from the road came more as a career-pivot than a retirement. Tetrick had planned to step away at the end of 2016, but when asked to stay for a final year, she agreed on the proviso that she could ride Dirty Kanza. She won, with a course record no less, ahead of Amanda Nauman despite fuelling mistakes and a late wrong turn.
Taking care of navigation will be the Mega XL cycling computer from Lezyne. The California based brand also supplies the saddle bag, bottle cages and its KTV Pro Smart lights.

On the bike, Josh has been riding and racing for over 15 years. He started out racing cross country in his teens back when 26-inch wheels and triple chainsets were still mainstream, but he found favour in road racing in his early 20s, racing at a local and national level for Somerset-based Team Tor 2000. These days he rides indoors for convenience and fitness, and outdoors for fun on road, gravel, 'cross and cross-country bikes, the latter usually with his two dogs in tow.
