Featured Speaker, Alexey Vermeulen
Born and raised in Michigan and now based in Boulder, Colorado, Alexey traded the World Tour for gravel’s front row, earning wins at the Belgian Waffle Ride (2022), Chequamegon (2023 & 2025), and Big Sugar (2024), plus podiums at the Leadville 100 and Sea Otter Classic. But racing is only part of the picture—off the bike, Alexey co-hosts The Cooldown podcast with Keegan Swenson, Sofia Gomez Villafañe, and Ruth Holcomb, co-founded the From The Ground Up project, and runs the Alexey and Avery YouTube channel with longtime collaborator Avery Stumm. And when he’s not training or creating, you’ll likely spot him pedaling with his dachshund, Sir Willie the Wiener, happily perched on his back.

The All-New Cervélo Caledonia: The perfect bike For the modern road rider. Donated by Mike’s Bikes AND a case of wines hand selected by the board of directors of C4C, each bottle retailing for at least $30
Caledonia is designed for all-season riders, fondo racers, and those who’ve just been bitten by the cycling bug. It’s light, it’s aero, and it’s easy to live with. The Caledonia rolls into the world instantly recognizable as a Cervélo. Clean, aerodynamic lines, hidden cables, and a highly-tuned carbon fiber layup add up to a bike that’s fast enough for spirited group rides, comfortable enough for all-day efforts, and looks hella good leaned up outside the coffee shop.
IBIS HAKKA MX FRAMESET
A FRAME THAT CAN DO BOTH
Many bikes in the world have been called the “Swiss Army Knife.” These bikes have been incredibly versatile and were able to be multiple different styles of bikes all in one. The Ibis Hakka MX is the answer to the Swiss Army Knife. The Hakka MX is a gravel bike, cross bike, and road bike all in one. It can also be used for some bike-packing trips as well. The frame is made from a monocoque carbon fiber and is compatible with 700c and 27.5″ wheel sizes. It has tire clearance for up to 700 x 40c or 27.5 x 2.1″ tires. The frame uses a T47 threaded bottom bracket because no one really likes pressfit bottom brackets. It features internal cable routing that is perfect for every drivetrain on the market, plus a dropper post.
