Hello gravel fans! We've got a whopper of an episode today as the gang dissects Ted's successful return from Race Around Rwanda. First up, the opening professional and semi-professional traits of our hosts, next a riveting round of Pick Three, and then onto this 1,000 km bikepacking race all the way around the country of Rwanda. 

Buckle in for this one and stay tuned for the next part of this two part series!

Lots to discuss today, a busy birthday weekend complete with a surprise party, Stu's warm weather trip to Arizona, Ted being voted into the Gravel Cycling Hall of Fame and upcoming trip to Race Around Rwanda, lots of great questions about nutrition and staying limber and strong, and plenty more.

Some great content from the show. 

Here we go with episode 20! Lots to discuss on the start of a new year beginning with resolution. If Dry'uary is one of yours, here's a solid conversation starter. Next we'll play a new game called Pick Three, we get into the wear and tear or carbon bikes and if that's a thing, why there's an unwritten rule of bibs over shorts, and what's it like to ride lonely through these desolate winter months.

Hello and welcome back to another great episode of Gravel Kings Podcast! We've got a barn burner today as we look back at the year in review courtesy of Strava, we examine salaries of World Tour riders as compared to the nascent world of gravel pros, we chat about how to deal with a case of the shimmies as well as a case of cold weather riding. It's that plus lots more, so welcome to the show.

The holidays are upon us here in Thanksgiving week and the team catches up on all kinds of timely discussions. Strava has changed their API usage, which presents lots of challenges for seemingly every cycling app on the planet! There are changes at USACycling with a move for gravel nationals. This has been in Nebraska and they're moving to the Driftless region of Minnesota. We'll talk about what goes into the creation of an annual gravel calendar, plus lots more.

Welcome back to another great episode. In today's show we'll recount the 2024 gravel season through the eyes of the Life Time Grand Prix. Then we dissect the upcoming changes to the 2025 season, the rosters, and make estimates on the coming year.

We also tackle questions about the off-season, our favorite adventure races, and (as always) so much more!
