We are GRVL CAMP
LINDSAY GAESSER
Founder & Trip Leader
Lindsay is a former runner turned cyclist who currently calls the desert home. She developed a strong connection to the outdoors through countless trips to the Mountain West for camping, hiking, and snowboarding. In 2018, Lindsay fell in love with cycling in the Italian Alps while conquering climbs and enjoying post-ride gelato. When she's not on the bike chasing segments and eating mid-ride popsicles, you can find her in the kitchen trying to satiate her monstrous appetite.
KAYLA HALL
Guide & Yogi
A traveling nurse and certified yoga instructor, Kayla was drawn to cycling by the ability to explore the outdoors
powered by your own body. You can find her somewhere between party pace and race pace. She deeply enjoys descents, approaching them (and life) with a “send it” attitude. Kayla started riding gravel in Northern Virginia and has continued this journey in many other states - currently Texas.
BLAIRE CAMPBELL
Guide
Originally from the East Coast, Blaire is a ranch hand who’s spent most of her adult life cowboying and exploring the West. She got into cycling when she sold a horse and needed something else to ride. Blaire quickly fell in love with bikepacking and spent a solo summer pedaling 5,000 miles across the country. Since then, she's been balancing ranch work and biking, exploring the remote areas she's called home and taking photos along the way!
MINDI DEPAOLA
Guide & DEI Coordinator
Daughter of a first generation immigrant, Mindi joins the growing group of runner-turned-cyclists but unfortunately still runs. Growing up in the Flint Hills of Kansas, she was blissfully unaware of the world-class gravel in her backyard until she found her way around the US, through the Peruvian Andes, and ultimately to Boulder, Colorado. When she's not thinking of (non) vegan excuses for her Strava rides, Mindi actually likes her day job, as an epidemiologist working on climate change and environmental justice.
