Meet our Leader - Jacob Rathe
Jacob has been riding bicycles at an elite level for over a decade, and he’s only 29. His unassuming humbleness is what makes him great. Off the bike, you’ll find him in about anywhere nature beckons on all types of bikes and skis. After racing professional road bikes seriously for many years, the gravel scene is a great middle ground between racing full time and retirement.
Jacob was a Professional Cyclist from 2010-2018 for Slipstream Sports and Jelly Belly Cycling. 2019 was a series of highs and lows. Highlights include winning 5 races and a podium at SBT Gravel. And why not throw in a cyclocross Cross Crusade series victory just for fun! The lowest moment occurred in Dirty Kanza when he crashed out of the front group and was unable to finish.
One of Jacob’s claims to fame is being a co-creator of the OTTOLOCK. He is a Bike Fit Specialist at Endurance PDX and Physical Therapy in Portland OR, as well as a coach for a number of athletes.
