PAYSON MCELVEEN
#ospreyathlete
Payson was born and raised outside Austin, TX and developed his passion for the mountain biking in the Texas State Championship Series. At 19 he moved to Durango, CO where he developed as a pro rider and earned Exercise Science and English degrees from Fort Lewis College. Now a full time racer and recently crowned marathon elite national champion and RedBull athlete, he’s more excited than ever for the trail ahead. What began as dreams of a glamorous pro career have developed into a broader love for the lifestyle, process, and desire to help others achieve two-wheeled happiness along the way
