About Gravelnomads

Gravelnomads is a gravel ride platform created by gravel riders, for gravel riders. Born from a deep passion for exploring and gravel biking, Gravelnomads exists to share first hand experiences in gravel routes, gravel gear and adventures in ultra cycling.

Our Story

Gravelnomads was born out of many hours in the saddle, exploring gravel routes across Europe. After riding bikepacking adventures like Liberation divide and ultra races like Flatlands 300 and Bright Midnight, I realized:

  1. It’s inspiring when people share their experience of exploring the unknown
  2. The beauty of gravel riding lies in exploring and finding that one gravel path at that exact moment where everything is just right
  3. Gravel riding with others or drawing from their local knowledge is the best way to set yourself up for a beautiful experience

From this, my idea for Gravelnomads grew into a platform that combines practical route sharing with visual storytelling.

Why nomads? Because nomads are explorers with a purpose. Drawn to next discoveries, they return home and share their knowledge and what they learned.
