Cory Ostertag is Panorama’s steadfast ultra racer, continuously striving to ride challenging bikepacking routes as quickly as possible. In 2022 he rode to a first-place finish in the BC Epic 1000 Grand Départ while setting one of the fastest times despite challenging conditions. Later that summer he finished first again during the Log Driver’s Waltz Grand Départ while simultaneously setting the current FKT for the 800km route.
While his speed can be partly attributed to his background as a multi-discipline bike racer, it is also bred out of necessity. As a father of two children, Cory is a self-proclaimed master of ‘fitting it in’, squeezing everything he can out of cycling while juggling life as a parent and a full-time employee at Squamish-based cycling apparel brand, 7mesh.
Cory is sustainably building experience and deftness in the world of bikepack racing as he looks forward to the biggest challenges available in the sport. In 2023 he will be participating in the Grand Départs for the Cross-Washington Mountain Bike Route and the Arkansas High Country Race.
