This week we talk with Mark Stevenson, better know as Guitar Ted. He's the co-founder and race director behind the 300+ mile gravel race known as Trans Iowa. The epic contest has spawned countless other gravel races but never strayed far from its roots as a brutal, self-supported, self-navigated gauntlet that pushes riders beyond what they thought they could wring from their weary bodies. Andrea Parrott wraps up the show with savvy advice for a smart question about cycling while pregnant.
