Howard Grotts is a unicorn—extremely fast, yet very humble. Growing up in Durango, Colorado, Howard was raised in a booming cycling community that’s home to a legendary youth development program, Durango Devo. Howard quickly became one of the fastest riders in the world, but eventually, he burned out as a racer and needed to step back to find the real reason he loves bikes…to ride for his entire life. His passion for riding is demonstrated in a 243-mile ride around Colorado’s largest wilderness area, the Weminuche.
