Old Man Mountain

Just hours until .roam lines up at the start of in Greece! Almost 600 miles of brutal terrain lie ahead of him and the other competitors. He’s no stranger to tough rides...

A few months ago Lorenz flew to Australia to visit his brother and tackled the epic Hunt 1000 bikepacking route while he was there. He wrote a great piece detailing his experience along with some photos from the adventure. Check out “Riding To Reunion” on our blog, link in bio!

Good luck to Lorenz and everyone racing Hellenic!

New friends, old friends... thank you all for making the Bikepacking Campout at Sea Otter so memorable! The energy was palpable, and seeing so many connections being made in the bikepacking community was incredible.

We’ve got a blog post with great photos by highlighting the weekend. Link in bio!

A big shout out to the following companies for supporting the campout!

Our Divide XL Rack Is Back In Stock!

Each Divide XL is hand welded by the skilled craftsmen at Stinner Manufacturing in Santa Barbara, CA, the same town where Old Man Mountain Racks was founded in 1996.

While nearly the same design as our regular Divide, the Divide XL deck is slightly larger and has our classic logo with “Made in USA” embossed on the deck.

These are made in limited production runs. Cruise on over to oldmanmountain.com to grab one before they're gone, or stop into your favorite local bike shop and tell them you need a Divide XL!

WE RIDE IN UNITY!

We’re doing a “feeder ride” to pedal to the Unity Ride that is departing from Thump Coffee on York Ave this upcoming Saturday.

At 10AM we’ll depart from Colorado Bridge overlooking the whitewater park, traveling on paved routes though the westside of town to arrive at Thump by 11am. This “first leg” of the Unity Ride will be an opportunity for people to participate that don’t have dirt capable bikes or don’t want to pedal the full 13 mile gravel loop.

We’ll see you at 10am this Saturday!
