Live For This: Keegan Swenson

Gravel, Grit, & Gas Station Food On The Way to Unbound

Keegan grew up racing mountain bikes, racking up a slew of national titles and spending the first part of his career focusing on the short and sharp demands of the XCO events. The last few years have seen a change in his focus, with gravel and endurance MTB coming to the fore.

The 2022 Life Time Grand Prix Champion is deep into his final training block before Unbound Gravel, a 204-mile race where he finished second last year. “Coming up short in a race like that, you definitely think about it in training. Losing it by a bike length is just a bit of a bummer, so I’m coming back with an extra bit of motivation.”
