Check out the bike that carried @ryanstandwich on his epic 307-mile ride, which combined the Kokopelli and White Rim trails in one continuous ride. Ryan built this bike to handle extended hours on the rugged trails, while also being ready for the racing season without requiring many changes. Whether itās race day or adventure time, Ryanās Spark RC is ready to go.
Watch Ryanās full-length film, āOne Year Older,ā on SCOTT channels or in our bio.
š¹ Thanks, @danny.awang , for the bike check and creating the full film, Another Year Older.
@ryanstandwich headed to Southern UT one year older and wiser since his first attempt to complete the Kokopelli and White Rim in one continuous ride. Combining these two legendary trails will take Ryan over 307 miles of challenging desert terrain and almost 27,000 feet of climbing.
After not completing the route in 2024, Ryan is heading into this ride with a fresh mindset and a plan to make sure he can check it off this time. He shifted his mindset to a place where he gave himself the space to just ride with no expectations, turning the pedals over between meeting up with his support crew, and enjoying the world he passed through even as he navigated some of the most isolated trails in Canyonlands Natonal Park.
Head to our YouTube channel to join the adventure - even 300-mile, sleep-deprived rides with Ryan are fun to be a part of.
Ryan Learned that he is stronger and can take on the big challenges when he has the support of family and friends, behind the lens, hauling food, and keeping him on track. Thanks to everyone involved.
@danny.awang always getting the gold and weaving a thoughtful story.
@rachael.galipo finds the beauty in the desert and captures all the quiet moments.
@echo.lauren for keeping the team on track on the early mornings and through the night.

This spring has looked a lot different to the last one. I missed doing a big ol bike ride but have been making myself tired in other ways. Hoping to get a chance for some more big adventures and also to spend some more quality time laughing and spending way too much time awake with @rachael.galipo@danny.awang@echo.lauren@verg and Garrett!
I still think @danny.awang blew it away with the video trying to put Kokopelli Trail and White Rim together in one ride. If you havenāt checked it out the āOne Year Olderā link is in my bio!

Graduated from @fortlewiscollege 10 years ago. Found some photos that brought back fun memories, crazy all the places you go and how life can change in that time! Thanks to everyone whoās made it awesome and hereās to another 10 of adventure and good times š»
@midsouthgravel with the @scottsportsusa crew was a blast! I learned that being race fit makes it a lot more fun, and got popped off the back early in the massive dust cloud. Stopped to check in on @griffin.hoppin , stopped at a gas station because I was a bit over confident on my fueling plan and definitely needed more food + drink to make it home, and a good last few miles with @michaelamthompson . Iām finally recovered a week later š
I really love visiting Stillwater every year and will for sure be back for the next one! Thanks to @unlearnpavement for putting on such a fun weekend as always š«¶
With the first big gravel race in the books, we canāt wait to see what the rest of the season holds when the entire SCOTT gravel squad hits the dirt at Sea Otter Classic.
Congrats to everyone who lined up at @midsouthgravel ā from amateur to pro, everyone who pushed themselves on the red roads is what makes gravel so special. Cheers!
See you at the next one.

Back in Stillwater for @midsouthgravel š„ this event changed me, in particular the devastating fires last year that tore through the area and I was in the right place at the right time with some other bike people to help those who needed it. That was a catalyst for me to start the process of becoming a firefighter/EMT, something Iāve thought about for years but always pushed down the road. Well, after completing my EMT cert last fall, I applied and was accepted into the Fire Academy in Durango, starting in 10 days.
Mid South will be my last race for a little while but Iām beyond excited for the opportunity and am going to enjoy the racing today!! Iāll be back in the late summer/fall for more events, and in the meantime keep an eye out for some fun projects weāre working on with @scottsportsusa š

Belated spirit tour day 3 post. Tombstone-> Tucson. @torbjornroed had to pull the plug because of major stomach probs :(. Day included the ālow like pumaā zone, cool views, and the classic sunset rip down Reddington, and the VlogDog3000 @kerryw24 in his element š„ thanks for the good times boys, Iām finally recovered from that š. Tour guide @finsty never disappoints
