Let's meet Jean-Baptiste Le Blan

Jean-Baptiste Le Blanc is 42 years old and has 2 children. Back in France, after spending 10 years in Shanghai in the hotel and tech industries for major groups, he wants to pursue a passion he discovered there: getting to know unknown roads and incredible destinations. It was this fever for travel and cycling that led him to create GravelUp with [Oliver Heissler](<https:>) and [Aurélien Lantoine](,<https:>). For them, **the bike is the ideal tool for travel,** for a passionate sport, for discovery and pleasure. The Up is dedicated to "personal performance", not against the clock or against others, but rather to a **personal quest**. On these trips, we get to know each other, discover each other and help each other grow. Every GravelUp trip is linked to a mountain range. All destinations will be linked to this attachment to mountain ranges. Mountains open the way to adventure and discovery.</https:></https:>
