    The 1929 Tour de France stage 10

    Has been referred to as the hardest stage ever. With a 40% failure rate, this very stage was a turning point in the events history. The setting to such tortuous self inflicted scourging would be none other than Frances Haute Pyrenees. Which after 1929 lovingly earned the title “the place dreams go to die.”   

    Why does this matter?

    The Haute Pyrenees would also be the setting for the Impossible Routes Season 2 Episode 2 "Tour de Gravel". Not only paying homage to the 1929 Tour de France but also increasing the punishment on an equal scale to modern equipment.

     Whos taking on the challenge?

    None other than ALMSTHRE ambassadors The Vegan Cyclist (Tyler) and Jeremiah Bishop. Check out the episode below to see what we are talking about!

    where we take a look at the people who ride bikes in our ethos. Jonas other wise known as "the Nordic Trail Blazer" is a world traveler who competes in a wide variety of gravel racing spanning the globe. In addition to on his free time tackling projects like "Arctic Everesting" and as the name would suggest, that's "Eversting" in the arctic conditions in Norway.

    ALMSTHRE + MOG fully embraces this sentiment. We aim not to redefine the essence of riding, but rather to experience the joy of two wheels in our own unique way. ALMSTHRE was born in Southern California, where our trails lie and this is what we ride.

    Unbound Gravel 2023
    Unbound Gravel is quite the event and really has to be seen to be understood. Something that I personally appreciated was the overall good vibes that permeated the streets. With thousands of people flocking to Emporia, Kansas, with a population of 24,000 that swells to some 34,000 or more.
