The partnership to assemble and promote one of the very first Lauf Cycling Seigla gravel bikes arriving in North America! was a success.
The frameset was provided by Lauf in the new color “Moss Campion”– a shade of pink. Other partners working together to make this project happen were SRAM Road and Gravel, providing a SRAM Rival AXS electronic shifting and Rival hydraulic brake groupset, Cantu Wheels for a pink-themed wheelset, Panaracer for 700c x 50mm tires, Fizik for a saddle, Jeremy Hutsell for assembly and Backroads Bicycle in Marysville, KS for finishing touches. This project came to fruition with the assistance of many great and generous people including the partners involved with the Pony Express Gravel Dash and the event team. |

The 2021 Pony Express Gravel Dash 120 Relay team consisted of Doug S., Dan K. and Sarah K. Team member Doug lost his wife, Amy, to cancer and displayed kindness when he included this Amy into his Amy's #TeamAmy tribe. They completed the course in under 9 hours with 8 (maybe it was 9) seconds to spare.
