Amanda Nauman has one of the most disarming nicknames in all of cycling ... she is affectionately known as Panda. But make no mistake: behind the woman named after a docile creature is a fearless person both on and off the bike. Amanda has taken on the toughest gravel events and the toughest questions that face our sport. Fearlessness has resulted in an amazing record and resume: She has won Unbound Gravel twice in 2015 and 2016 and finished second twice. She was also second in the 350 XL. She has won Mid South and BWR San Diego and five times she has won Rock Cobbler in Bakersfield, CA. Amanda is co-host of the Groadio Podcast and she sits on the Gravel Cycling Hall of Fame Advisory Board. She is co-founder of the Mammoth Tuff Gravel Race, puts on gravel camps, competed in the first LIfeTime Grand Prix, and helps run a family business. Somehow all of that is packed into one person.
