About this episode
Dawson Wheeler and Clint interview cyclist Travis Jolly about his journey and experiences in cycling.
This week Clint and Dawson sat down with Travis Jolly. Travis is a very humble, smart and dang fast cyclist that excels with the road turns to dirt or trails. He works at Bike Zoo bike shop in Knoxville, TN. He is 30 years old and was born and raised in Houston, Texas. Growing up as a child and throughout his teenage years he was primarily a track and cross country runner. After putting college on hold is when he started his cycling life primarily as a fixed gear cyclist. Travis is a bike mechanic, and not long after moving to Knoxville in November of 2019. He wanted to live somewhere new and expand his life as a cyclist in a place with mountains. Travis dabbles with every category of cycling every once in a while. But he has found that his heart and legs enjoy soaking up the beauty of the forests and mountains that surround his newfound home on a single speed mountain bike. A few results of many, USA cycling Marathon Mountain Biking World Championships 2nd place Single Speed. 3rd at 2025 Cohutta Cat BUT he rode his bike there (Mulberry Gap) from Knoxville adding 180 miles and 20k of climbing in a day. Won TNGA in 2024 on a single speed to mention a few. Thanks for listening…
