Bear National Gravel Team is the first high performance gravel development program in the country. It is currently managed by Alec Levy O’Brien.

The team consists of elite level riders from Wisconsin, Pennsylvania, Georgia, Oregon, and Arizona.

Our mission is to provide support to elite level riders as well as provide opportunity to UCI Junior (age 17-18) and U25 riders that are seeking to branch out into the gravel discipline.

We strive to help them achieve individual goals, yet work together as a team focused on results. We provide resources such as mechanical support, race support, and travel support, in addition to financial support.

We hope to break into the established pro ranks this year and inspire the younger generation to explore skinny tires on the dirt.
