Tobin Ortenblad, aka mctubbin, aka the People's Champ, grew up riding his neighbor’s hand me downs. Granted, these hand me downs were Yeti’s, so there are some points in the plus category for hand me downs. Those early steeds help propel him to a MTB high school state championship. But, his prowess on a bike would not be satisfied so he decided to add a Cyclocross National Championship to his young resume. In 2016, a RAD bicycle company, Santa Cruz Bicycles, made a wise decision and invited him to join the family. From that day forward he has conquered races across the globe, but still found time to get Lost & Found, gravel style. He even had a side gig working for a htSQD. In today's world he’s no stranger to standing on top of the podium in multiple disciplines, but still remains a down to earth cool guy that will gladly kick back with us regular folk and enjoy and ice cold beverage. He truly is, the People's Champion.

Pete Stetina was born into the world with two wheel DNA. From smooth tread skinnies to low pressure fats with knobbies to a sweet spot somewhere in between, he has forged a multi-decade of epic riding experiences. From 24 hour endurance racing in the mtb world, to globetrotting across the pond to race the Tour de France and ultimately finding a niche somewhere in the middle of singletrack and asphalt, aka…gravel. He’s pedaled his way to the top podium spot in many epic events trekking his way to a win at Traka, getting Lost & Found standing on top of the podium, being the best at consuming a Belgian Waffle and of course, completing the Oregon Trail as the rider furthest away from dying of dysentery. But beyond these accolades and many more, he’s a great advocate for cycling, a mentor to the next generation of cyclists, a visionary in the professional privateer world and a 100 percent cool dude. Enjoy the conversation with Pete and if you'd like to throw back a cold one with him, come visit us at the Lost & Found Gravel Festival next month.
