Hi Ritchey

I’m Anselm—a geophysicist, author, keynote speaker, award-winning documentary filmmaker, tiny house builder, and passionate extreme adventurer. Over the years, I’ve been fortunate to travel more than 135,000 kilometers across 80 countries, pushing the boundaries of endurance and exploration. My Salsa Fargo, equipped with trusted Ritchey parts, has taken me through 35,000 kilometers of rugged terrain.

I’ve had the privilege of collaborating with brands like Cosmic Sports, Sony, Ryzon, Rab, Tailfin, and Cascade Designs. After recently completing the challenging Ecuador and Peru Divide with my best friend and travel partner, Raphael, I’m gearing up for even bigger projects in 2025.

Next year, in addition to continuing our adventure and documenting it for German TV and social media, I’ll also be hosting gravel workshops in various locations. These workshops will focus on planning expeditions, filming, and hands-on gear testing. They offer an excellent opportunity for participants to test bikes and gear, making them an ideal platform to showcase Ritchey products to a broader audience. Just an Idea :)

I’d love to discuss a potential partnership, with a focus on testing, photographing, and creating adventure stories around your gear and frame—similar to Ettore Campana’s epic ride into the Caucasus.
Let’s explore how we can work together to create something exciting and memorable.

Looking forward to connecting.
Anselm
