OUR AMBASSADORS

From gravel to tri to road, our Ambassadors are a group of athletes that inspire us every day and embody all the best parts of what it means to ride a bicycle.

Caroline Dezendorf

Caroline is never one to shy away from a challenge, balancing a career in science education with elite gravel and mountain bike racing. Caroline feels at home on the race course earning podium finishes in some of the world's premier gravel, mountain bike, and cyclocross races. But her true passion is in supporting others to pursue their passions. Caroline coaches her local NICA mountain bike team and is involved in initiatives to get more girls on bikes.

Chris Hall

Chris has been someone who throws himself into every challenge with a smile and is always looking to support charitable causes important to him by testing his body to the absolute extreme. Whether it's riding across countries, or racing in extreme conditions, he hopes to inspire others to try something new and out of their comfort zone.

Fred Van Lierde

Frederik has been riding Cervelo since 2008. He won the Ironman World Championship in 2013 and 5 Ironman Nice titles in his career. He’s jumped to the other side of things practicing ‘active listening’ as a Triathlon Coach and Assistant Physical Training Instructor.

MATT LIETO

Matt Lieto took the long road to be at the top of the gravel scene, losing 85 lbs in his 20’s, then racing triathlon professionally in his 30’s, and now pushing around the youngsters in his…well, never mind. Matt’s joy for exploration has had him riding gravel for decades, and now he uses that experience, and his old man strength to find new challenges to keep things spicy.

REESE RULAND

Reese enjoys spending her time exhausting herself in the mountains and desert, normally on a bike but is known to dabble in ultra trail running. She is a pop tart enthusiast, and mom to two French Bulldogs, Loaf and Oatie. When she's not out on some big adventure, she enjoys working with athletes on developing a healthy relationship with endurance sport and their bodies.
