Tate Morrow
Asheville, NC · Bike mechanic
Fast early, honest late. Trying to go past 36 for the first time.
The story
Tate was a road marathoner until a bike shop job and the Blue Ridge turned him toward dirt. He has gone out at yard 36 twice in a row, both times on a yard he says he ran too fast at 2:00 AM. This year his whole plan fits on an index card: slower.
