About Chad Cheeney
I was raised in Bend, Oregon, and found cycling as ball sports began to lose their appeal. I decided to chase my heroes to Durango, Colorado, by attending Fort Lewis College and have spent the last 25 years creating a lifestyle that inspires those around me to ride with passion and vigor.
I am a co-founder of Durango Devo (est. 2006) and have coached at Fort Lewis College since 2011. I am a family-focused individual, a parent to two children, Bo and Belle, and a partner to Annie.
