Finally starting to feel better after the #unboundgravel sickness that just wouldn’t leave my body!! Grabbed the #colnagoy1rs for a quick spin and all systems seem to be back online! #truegritracing #gravelracer #gravel

We are beyond excited to announce that Laurien @laurienvandewalle has joined @true.grit.racing as a Pro on our women’s team. She will join @bootz4walkin to make a very strong team going into @gravel_worlds Three years ago, Laurien started riding just to make friends and get fit. Today, she’s stepping up into the Pro ranks. Talk about a steep progression curve! After taking her first steps into the local Texas road, criterium and gravel racing scene in 2025, Laurien found her true calling on the dirt. This year she has upped her game with consistent, dedicated training and the results speak for themselves! Laurien has a flawless gravel podium streak and has won every gravel event she has touched this year, including massive field victories at Mid South and Unbound. Ready for the next chapter, Laurien will be be making her official debut in the Women’s Pro field at Lauf Gravel Worlds. Onward and upward - this is only the beginning! #womeningravel #gravel #girlsgonegravel #gravelracer

This is what we do and who we are - True Grit Racing was built on a simple belief: the best athletes don't get there alone. We are a community of gravel racers united by a passion for adventure, competition, and helping each other become the best versions of ourselves. From first-time racers to elite professionals, our team brings together athletes of all backgrounds, abilities, and experience levels who share a commitment to showing up, pushing limits, and supporting one another along the way. At True Grit Racing, inclusivity isn't just a value, it's part of our mission. We're committed to building a team that reflects the future of gravel cycling, with a goal of maintaining equal representation of men and women while actively encouraging and supporting more women to enter the sport. You'll find our riders at local gravel events, regional races, and some of the biggest competitions in the world, including the Life Time Grand Prix events, UCI Gravel World Series races, and iconic events such as Unbound, SBT GRVL, Mid South, Gravel Worlds, Leadville 100, Big Sugar, Valley of Tears, and Traka. But racing is only part of the story. True Grit Racing exists to help every athlete level up. We share knowledge, training insights, race experience, and encouragement. We meet up at events, cheer for each other's successes, and help each other through the inevitable challenges that come with chasing big goals. Whether you're racing for a podium, a personal best, or simply the finish line, you'll always have teammates in your corner. We believe that grit is more than toughness. It's showing up when things get hard. It's embracing discomfort, chasing growth, and supporting others on the same journey. @jonnylee_reeves @bootz4walkin @treyshepard1 @mountain_athlete_solutions @heather_wajer @big_dude_biking

Another #unboundgravel has come and gone. Another epic sufferfest that makes this race what it is. So much to unpack n this event from all of us but one of the highlights was a team dinner with some fellow minded gravel racers. Almost none of these people have ever met face to face before our dinner but we had fun and easy conversation regardless. Thanks to the team for helping make not just this dinner but the whole week fun and exciting! @treyshepard1 @mountain_athlete_solutions @heather_wajer @big_dude_biking Thanks to @shepardjrr2 @laurienvandewalle @gritgraceandgratitude and @clevelandchickbikes for joining us to share stories and keep the team on their best behavior! 😁 Next up for @true.grit.racing - @gravel_worlds where for the first time, the entire team will be together as we take on the 300, 150 and 75 mile distances. @thebicyclestation @fuelyourgoodlife @squirt_cycling_us @schwalbetires
