Long rides, short rides, MTB rides, gravel rides – Taylor Lideen loves it all. Growing up in Phoenix, AZ near South Mountain (and home to Pivot’s testing grounds), Taylor has been around bikes from a young age. His father religiously raced the 24 Hours of Moab on a team, which is what drew Taylor into that style of racing. He gave his first 24-hour race a shot at the age of 17 and figured it would be best to try it solo. He instantly knew why his dad was always gearing up months in advance for these big events and fell in love. Since this first solo race, Taylor has experienced the gamut of highs and lows in both the MTB and Gravel racing scenes. This year, you can catch Taylor and his wife Mary at various races, likely eating fruit snacks and drinking kombucha with their two dogs in the Sprinter.
