Newly-minted Gravel Hall-of-Famer Yuri Hauswald is a staple of the gravel scene. Go to just about any gravel event in the US and you’re likely to spot Yuri, either toeing the starting line, repping Gu Energy, or just hanging out to meet people and help out where he can.
Hauswald is a former winner of Unbound Gravel, but his racing days are largely behind him. Now, Hauswald is committed to enjoying the gravel community and helping to grow it in meaningful ways.
Yuri Hauswald joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to talk about what it means to become a Gravel Hall of Famer, what the gravel community offers to new and old riders alike, and why it’s vital to ensure gravel’s growth focuses on inclusion and dynamic evolution rather than simply racing.
As a former teacher, Yuri Hauswald also understands how essential it is to educate new gravel riders effectively. His years teaching shine through in his engagement with new riders, and in his pursuits coaching athletes looking to tackle big races like Unbound.
