![We are very happy to announce Alex Bordewyk as the winner of this year's 5 Bucks a Foot Gravel Fundraiser! Alex has been donating to our 5 Bucks a Foot campaigns since 2023, and he's never even been to the Lost Sierra! The Denver resident and bikepack-enthusiast is a supporter of SBTS' trail work from afar (and hopes to visit soon). For him, donating to a cause that benefits the trails, if even they're far from home, is a worthy investment.
"The thought of winning a new bike is always a good motivator," he says. "I love all the work being done in Colorado and it's cool to see what's happening [in the Lost Sierra] as well. I just can't believe it happened."
And now? He has a dream custom-outfitted Evil Bikes Chamois Hagar for a dream trip. "I've done a couple overnighters, and I'm hoping to do a bigger four-night trip this fall over birthday—now I’ll have a great bike for it. "
Thank you to Alex and everyone who donated to this campaign and helped us raise nearly $26,000 for trail building and maintenance in northern California and western Nevada. And especially to our partners, who made this campaign and so many others, possible: @evilbicycles, @patagonia_mtb, @paulcomponent, @shimanomtb, @ridefoxbike, @whiteind, and @wildernesstrailbikes, as well as @astralcycling, @loam_equipment, and @camp.and.go.slow. We couldn't do it without you!](https://s10.imginn.com/738638685_1421721483313480_5669493277813735624_n.jpg?t39.30808-6/738638685_1421721483313480_5669493277813735624_n.jpg?stp=cp6_dst-jpg_e35_p1179x1179_tt6&_nc_cat=106&ig_cache_key=MzkzNTQxMTE0MDEyOTc4MDE3NA%3D%3D.3-ccb7-5&ccb=7-5&_nc_sid=58cdad&efg=eyJ2ZW5jb2RlX3RhZyI6IkZFRUQueHBpZHMuMTYzOC5zZHIucmVndWxhcl9waG90by5DMyJ9&_nc_ohc=2PSxSjoUmw0Q7kNvwHvMC13&_nc_oc=AdowQJQMItJbRbzY1ecSD7zid_kEbTApxY92SY_lzKNxnwiIEWFIfW1_TnG_Rb_IPpHvdKUiVDgxW_JLa7vEYYYc&_nc_zt=23&_nc_ht=scontent-hou1-1.cdninstagram.com&_nc_gid=xgp0yK6Wa1ipO3SYsFiHPA&_nc_ss=73180&oh=00_AQAB-e2gM1vamFu3wkOvp78A8FIv_29oOrgzJueXP_tIbA&oe=6A6AAAEF)
