Meet the Squad

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.

Anna Grace Christiansen

Anna is a bundle of energy and driving force for outdoor adventures, always seeking amazing new places and trips. She’s a former pro roadie and is our Dirty Kanza veteran (she claims DK 2018 may have been the best day of her life). Off the bike, she’s a podcast co-host, website professional, beginner piano player, and rad designer who can claim credit for the new Squad kit. Don’t be surprised to find her trying to pet all the dogs, making new friends wherever she is, and finding pure joy in the outrageous. Please enjoy her absurdist sense of humor as she tackles 2019 with enthusiasm alongside her squadmate, Jacob.
