Audra Adair | Founder & Lead Coach

Your Coaches

Audra Adair is the founder of The Gravel Method and lead coach behind its immersive training camps. With over 20 years of coaching experience and a background in exercise physiology, she combines science-based training with real-world race execution. A seasoned endurance athlete and multiple gravel and MTB wins , Audra has spent decades refining what actually works on race day. Her approach is built to simplify the complexity of gravel racing—so athletes can train with purpose, fuel with confidence, and perform at their best.

At camp, Audra leads guided rides, teaches pacing and fueling strategy, runs hands-on education sessions, and works directly with athletes to dial in their individual race plans. From course familiarization to race-day execution, she is on-site throughout the experience—ensuring every athlete leaves with the tools, confidence, and clarity to perform at their best.

Riding and racing since the mid-1980s — and working every corner of the sport since, as a mechanic, industry rep, and coach — has taught me one thing: fast riders aren't born, they're built. Four decades in the sport shape how I coach today, from wrenching and selling bikes to representing brands like ASSOS, GIRO, ENVE, and Scott.

My own results come from the dirt and gravel as much as the pavement — Arizona State Criterium Champion, eight-time Leadville 100 MTB finisher, a completed sub-13-hour Unbound 200, and a sub-8-hour Leadville. 

I specialize in gravel, mountain biking, and road, and I work with riders at every stage — from someone lining up for their first gravel race or Gran Fondo to athletes chasing a top step. My approach blends technical precision (bike fit, race-day nutrition, pacing) with the same curiosity and passion for the sport that got me into it forty years ago. I'm still an early adopter at heart — always testing, evaluating, and looking for the edge that makes the difference on race day.
