Scott Gordon

Racer … the Diesel

Scott is a devout cyclist. He attends church of the rotating mass. His “gearage” is stuffed with bikes of all tire widths and frame materials. For him, cycling is not about defining roadie, mountain biker, or commuter. It is not a power meter or a Strava segment. Rather, it is a lifestyle, a shaping of community and an industry. On the bike, Scott learned race craft from the peak of the Cal Poly cycling team. He has competed in nearly all cycling disciplines and raced all four Collegiate National Championships in one year. His podium count spans 20 years, but his top medal is a wedding ring met and earned literally on the bike.

Off the bike, Scott creates opportunities for others to ride. As a consultant at CountourLogic, he plans and designs trail systems. His projects range from backcountry singletracks and urban bike skills parks to teaching volunteers and leading youth corps. Previously, he worked with cycling non-profits IMBA and Bicycle Colorado. Scott served as support crew when his wife, Lisse, climbed the podium in several pro-class 24-hour solo MTB races. He turned wrenches for the record-breaking 2015 tandem RAAM team.

Now, for this crossing of the USA, Scott will trade his mechanic apron for a racing number while we attempt to break another RAAM record. Scott will dust-off the trainer, race-tune his legs and bring 25 years cycling experience to the squad.

Don’t call it a come back … okay, fair, call it a come back!
