In this episode, we talk with Ted and Laura King about their new gravel race, Rooted Vermont. Coming up later this year and already more than half sold out after opening registration on April 1, they talk about what's special about riding in Vermont. And maple syrup. They love their maple syrup. So we talk about that. A lot.

And we talk about what all the pros do when they retire if they're not putting on their own event. Apparently European pros tend to have a very different career track than U.S. pros. Head over to Bikerumor.com for the show post with links to the event and more.
