Ashton Lambie is a busy man. He recently completed a 1,000 mile gravel race and is now preparing to be a cyclor on one of the worlds most prestigious Sailing teams.

Lambie grew up in Nebraska. He began racing gravel and even ventured into road racing. He quickly realized road racing wasn't his thing. While living in Lawrence, Kansas he was introduced to grass track racing. And he quickly realized he was good on a track bike. A chance meeting with former Olympian Carl Sundquist sparked an interest in Lambie racing in T-town.

In 2017 Lambie's debut at Track Mats he got first in the pursuit and second in the omnium and points race. That same year he got third in a World Cup in Santiago, Chile in the team pursuit. Along the way he picked up more national titles and wins at the Pan Am Championships.

In 2021 he was pursuit  World Champion beating the likes of Jonathan Milan and Filippo Ganna. Soon after his world title Lambie walked away from the track.

Currently Lambie is living in Houston. He's riding a bike and sailing while his wife is working towards being an astronaut.
