Theo Kelsey-Verdecchia | Bikepack Racing

In this episode of the Bike Tour Adventures Podcast, I speak with Theo Kelsey-Verdecchia. Coming from Toronto, Canada, Theo has been crushing gravel routes these past couple years, setting an Fastest Known Time record on the BTXL in 2020. The BTXL, located in Southern Ontario, is a combination of the BT700 (768km) and the Grand Nith Ramble (350km) coming in at just over 1100km of riding, with 10400 metres of elevation. In 2021, Theo did it again and beat his own time, setting a new FKT of 84h 17m and also finished 1st on the Alberta Rockies 700, a gruelling race in the west of Canada.
