DYLAN JOHNSON
Dylan is both a successful bike racer and cycling YouTuber. He got his start racing mountain bikes as a teenager and in his early 20s focused on ultra endurance mountain bike racing becoming the youngest winner of the National Ultra Endurance Series in 2016 at 21 years old and then going on to win it two more times after that. Dylan graduated with an exercise science degree from Brevard College in 2017 and started working at CTS as a cycling coach after that.
It wasn’t long into his coaching career that Dylan started his YouTube channel which focuses on science based cycling coaching, tech and gear related videos, and race reports. The YouTube channel started taking off around 2019 and Dylan started his own coaching company. His channel has reached 135k subscribers and over 12 million total views and continues to grow every day.
This year Dylan will be competing in his third Life Time Grand Prix.

DYLAN’S PARTNERS
DYLAN’S FELT BREED CARBON
FELT IS FAST
“Felt’s Breed Carbon is a glimpse into the future of gravel race bikes in my opinion. It’s hard to find a race focused gravel bike with aero tube shapes that doesn’t have every possible rack and fender mount that racer don’t need that can fit 50mm or wider tires.
Throw in 4 bottle cage mounts for long hot gravel races, suspension ready geometry for those “drop bar hardtail” courses and this incredible custom paint job and I couldn’t be more stoked right now.”
