Joe

FOUNDER & Event director

I started this event in 2017 after I rode the Good Life Gravel Gran Fondo, Odin’s Revenge, Gravel Worlds, and Omaha Jackrabbit in 2016. I found there was a need for another small grassroots gravel event that could help train for the larger events, and showcase SE Nebraska gravel.

Jamie

Volunteer Coordinator etraordinaire

Jamie has been here since year one, volunteering herself, and taking care of the other volunteers And also just being the totally rad person that she is.

Katie

Writer & Proofreader

AND the love of my life. Katie proofreads most of my social media posts and anything I put out there, because 90% of the time, it is wrong. She also accompanies me on many of my gravel events and route planning sessions.

Additional Team Members:

Mark

Not just Jamie’s other half, but a tireless supporter of the event!

They head up the Pirate Cycling League, ride their bikes a lot, and sponsor a fantastic SAG stop on the route.

If you’ve had a stellar meal after your Solstice ride, Colleen was definitely the reason.
