Show Notes:

Your hosts, Guitar Ted and N.Y. Roll, take you through a rambling discussion about gravel events. The past, the present, what's wrong and what's right about gravel events are dissected and analyzed here. Later the guys get into another development in gravel racing/riding, and that is "managed finishes", or "pace groups". Then they tackle the thorny question of who is responsible for damages to equipment at gravel events. Later on in this episode the guys share two events for the "Gravel Amplifier" section of the show.
