Meet the Leader
Jacob Rathe
Jacob has been riding bicycles at an elite level for over a decade, and he’s only 28. 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, gravel racing and adventure riding are new and refreshing disciplines.
One of Jacob’s claims to fame is being a co-creator of the OTTOLOCK. He is usually enrolled in one class at Portland Community College in Math or Physics for “fun”, but hasn’t decided on a specific goal. Upon hearing that someone “hates garbage people”, Jacob quickly stood up for Garbage People as a necessary part of society. Please enjoy his pithy dry sense of humor as he leads the squad on new adventures.
Jacob was a Professional Cyclist from 2010-2018 for Slipstream Sports and Jelly Belly Cycling. He's spent 2019 learning the gravel ropes and has basically crushed it, despite a couple of mishaps here and there.
