Lachlan Morton finished the 849km off-road Colorado mountain trail route on Saturday morning, which he rode in support of the family of Team AMANI rider Sule Kangangi who tragically died at The Overland gravel race on 27th August.

Kangangi sadly passed away following an incident at the gravel race in Vermont following a crash on the final leg of the gravel race - which gave way to an outpouring of tributes to the Kenyan cyclist across social media.
