“Over the last couple of years, gravel has exploded in Columbia,” Lycke said. “Between the Katy Trail and all of the gravel we have out here, it really does lend itself well to gravel riding.”

Lycke first discovered the sport after a friend turned him onto it in 2013. He was training for an Iron Man and relished the opportunity to get outside and train during the winter as a means to stay in "bike shape" during the off season.

“A lot of people do spin classes or ride trainers inside,” Lycke said. “I don’t possess that sort of discipline — I need to get outside.”
