Just 24 hours after a breakout performance at the MID SOUTH where Joe Solo'd to a 10th place finish among a stacked field of serious hitters we sat down on the patio in Stillwater, OK where the spirit of gravel is alive and well to talk about his huge result and way more.

Joe did not hold back in sharing his thoughts on the Friday 1PM start, his bid to get into the Lifetime Grand Prix via the wildcard, Co-host confessions, a game, and of course listener questions from our live audience.

So late season races are fast and furious -- Ted was at Gravel Worlds and donned his road attire for Green Mountain Stage Race.

Stu had an, umm... interesting go at Fistful of Dirt in Wyoming, but he came away lighter AND with a trip to the podium!

Welcome back to a midsummer treat here on episode 33. We talk about Laura's recent return from the high mountain air of Colorado including a run-in with a moose, Ted's linked together back-to-back wins(!) and is next off to Gravel Worlds in Nebraska, Stu has his favorite Fist Full of Dirt on the horizon and the start of his beloved cyclocross just around the corner. #crossiscoming!
