Being a ‘pioneer’ for other East Africans among goal for Jordan Schleck at Unbound Gravel

Gravel racing is typically harsh and unforgiving, but Jordan Schleck (Team Amani) has found a way to galvanize any brutal blows, like a DNF at the 2023 Unbound Gravel 200, and turn them into motivation.

A return to Unbound Gravel 200 for redemptive ride is all about ‘keep my head up, finish strong’ and ‘be a pioneer of the team’. It’s a rare statement of leadership for a 21-year-old, but then again, the Uganda rider is a rare gem and is looking for ways to polish his off-road vocation.
