Andrew Strempke's Grand Loop Ultrarace Bike & Route Tips

Andrew walks us through his Chumba Sendero Titanium 2025 Grand Loop UltraRace Setup. Andrew also shares some tips and expectations for racing Grand Loop and unpacks his whole bikepacking setup! This year Andrew followed up on his 2024 Grand Loop Race where he set the single speed course record. For the 2025 race Andrew completed over 34472 ft of elevation over a 365mi course and earned himself a 3rd overall, 1st place singlespeed AND pretty much matched his course record from 2024! Does Andrew have this course pinned or is there more to squeeze out of his Sendero Ti SingleSpeed Ultra-Race Bike?!
