Connections - Chumba USA

It was earlier this year that I first became aware of Chumba USA, a bike company based out of Austin, Texas. Besides the fact that all of their bikes are handmade in the USA, the more I learned about the folks behind Chumba and the products they stand behind, the more I found myself admiring the brand. The company is owned and operated by 2 men and 2 women, build frames from only the highest quality materials and approach their work with an intentionality and pride that is immediately evident if you get a chance to meet them.

Hosting nearly 10,000 athletes and over 70,000 fans, the Laguna Seca Raceway becomes the focus of brands and consumers alike. In making the trip north from San Diego I wanted to take advantage of all there was to explore on my way to the event.
