The Last 200 Meters: Steve Tramp

In an effort to give readers/followers a look inside the team and its partners, we’re launching the occasional question and answer feature called “The Last 200 Meters.”

The idea is to take a two minute interview, or emailed Q&A, and see what happens.

We’re debuting the first in a series of GVR team rider profiles today featuring Steve Tramp. He contemplated writing a profile on par with The Iliad, but opted for this instead:

Name: Steve Tramp
Home: Green Bay
Occupation: Banking (don’t hate)
Racing/riding discipline(s): Road rider. Everything else I seem to get injured.

Tramp at the finish of Race The Lake in August 2015.

Years Racing: About 10 years seriously. That means when I started spending a lot of money.

2015 highlights: Finished Race the Lake under 4 hours 6 days after breaking my collar bone at the Ore to Shore. Broke 5,000 outdoor miles again.

Why do you ride/race?: I love the camaraderie of a good group to ride with. It’s also some of the best stress relief I know.

Most dreaded bike repair: My shifting gets messed up every year because I’m a grinder. Gonna have to bite the bullet next year and go automatic.

Your “dream ride”: Kaanapali mountain on Maui. 30 miles up 10,000 ft of climbing.

Song that best defines your life: Dare You to Move by Switchfoot.
