Through their experimental team, Old Man Mountain hopes to build a space where personalities, styles, and characters blend, communicate, grow, and transform with each other. They’re seeking riders who are pushing the boundaries of bikepacking and ultra-endurance racing but welcome everyone to apply, regardless of age, gender, and other labels. Describing the team’s goals, they wrote, “We won’t have a team bus, we won’t be racing a series of races together, we won’t even all ride the same bikes. But we will learn from each other, support each other, and develop each others riding and race abilities to preform at our peaks, tackling some of the hardest bikepacking races in the world.”

That’s all we know for now, but you can learn more and apply over at OldManMountain.com.
