Cette semaine au Libre Podcast, Francis Denis reçoit Jérôme Blanchet-Gravel et Samuel Rasmussen, animateur du balado Les Trois Afuera, pour une discussion sur les transformations profondes de la guerre et du pouvoir à l'ère technologique.

Viele Ultracycling-Fahrerinnen haben Geschichten von epischen Siegen oder brutalen DNFs – aber was ist mit jenen, die sich trotz Schmerzen, Rückschlägen und Verletzungen ins Ziel kämpfen? In dieser Episode sprechen Straps und Flo mit André Klein, wie er die mentalen und körperlichen Herausforderungen von Ultra-Rennen auf den Kanarischen Inseln meistert – von gnadenlosen Berganstiegen über Fährüberfahrten bis hin zur feinen Linie zwischen „zu hart pushen“ und „rechtzeitig aufhören“. Seine Einblicke zeigen, dass Erfolg nicht nur aus Ausdauer besteht, sondern vor allem aus Resilienz, Strategie und dem Wissen um die eigenen Grenzen. André nimmt aber nicht nur selbst an Ultracycling Rennen teil, er ist auch leidenschaftlicher Dotwatcher und kann viele Anekdoten vom Beobachten an der Strecke erzählen.

Después de meses sin publicar, Gravel Studio vuelve.En este episodio hablamos sin filtros del parón del podcast, de los cambios personales y profesionales detrás de cámaras y de cómo será el nuevo Gravel Studio a partir de ahora. Carlos da un paso atrás y Laura Gallardo toma el relevo del proyecto para seguir construyendo un espacio dedicado al gravel, al deporte y a todo lo que lo rodea: competición, motivación, presión, disfrute y comunidad. Un episodio honesto sobre cuándo parar, cuándo continuar y cómo adaptar un proyecto a la vida real. Gracias a todas las personas que habéis estado ahí desde el primer episodio. A las que escucháis, a las que escribís, a las que os acercáis en eventos y decís “yo escucho Gravel Studio”. Eso no se da por hecho.Este proyecto nació sin grandes expectativas y acabó creando algo muy valioso: una comunidad. No siempre hemos sido constantes, no siempre hemos sabido aprovechar oportunidades, pero siempre ha habido respeto, curiosidad y buen rollo al otro lado. Gracias por la paciencia durante los silencios, por el apoyo cuando volvíamos y por entender que los proyectos, como las personas, cambian. Gravel Studio no se acaba. Evoluciona. Y si sigue vivo, es porque vosotros estáis ahí.De verdad, gracias por escuchar, por quedaros y por formar parte del camino.

To close out our Sahara Gravel coverage, Payson sat down with race volunteer Leoni Kolberg, who has spent the past four years riding around the world, often solo and sleeping in a tent. Last year, she rode across South America. Before that, she rode across Iran and Pakistan. Leoni sat down with Payson amongst the sand dunes to talk about what it's like to live on the road for so long, dealing with the solitude, perfecting the art of reading books while riding, and why she's decided to change things up this year. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

Are you making this gravel pacing mistake? It could be costing you 30 minutes or more — and you won't even feel it happening until it's too late.   In this video, Coach Frank breaks down the #1 pacing mistake I see in gravel race power files, why it happens, and exactly how to fix it. I'll show you the one tactical decision you need to make in the first hour of your next gravel race that could save you 30 minutes — without being any more fit than you already are. What you'll learn: - Why gravel racing is really a time trial (and why that changes everything) - How to use Intensity Factor (IF) as your real-time pacing gauge - The art of "self-dropping" — and why the tortoise always beats the hare - A 4-step process for finding the right group without blowing up - First-hour IF targets for every race duration from 2 to 8+ hours Want course-specific pacing instructions in watts for YOUR next gravel race? CoachCat's AI can give you section-by-section wattage targets so you always know what's too hard and what's just right.

In this week's episode of the BikeRadar podcast, Jack Luke is joined by Simon von Bromley to discuss Continental's new Terra Competition all-road tyre. Only available in relatively narrow widths – by modern gravel standards – could it be that Continental simply doesn't believe wider tyres are faster? Following that, Jack and Simon discuss Microshift, its recently launched Advent MX mountain bike groupset, and whether it could be a sign of more to come on the road and gravel side of things. This week's ‘rant of the week' sees Simon tackling a subject close to his heart – the existence of too many rubbish kids bikes. Lastly, we end with last week's top story – a great piece by Warren Rossiter, about gravel's inability to settle on a wheel size (and why we probably shouldn't be too worried about it).

We sit down with Rule of Three co-founders Andy Chasteen and Lauren Pickman to unpack how a simple Bentonville idea became a sold-out fixture blending gravel, pavement, and singletrack into a single unforgettable ride. From the early spark to the first-year surge of 700 riders, the story charts the beloved community-driven race.The experience spans a full week of cycling culture. We preview the Rapha Clubhouse opening, the Send It South music vibe at the Momentary, and  spotlight community partners who turn aid stations into destinations—Thaden Cycling's quesadillas, Bearded Goat's treats, and more. Spots sell out quickly, but the waitlist is open and volunteers are the heartbeat of race day. Whether you're racing, cheering, or lending a hand, you'll find a place in this story. A New American Town is here to help you plan your trip to Bentonville, Arkansas.

Stage 3 of Sahara Gravel took the riders away from the Atlas Mountains and towards the Sahara Desert, with 95 kilometers ending in a tailwind. Payson is joined by stage winner Eddy Le Huitouze to discuss how the race played out, but first, they do a little background on how he got here. The 22-year-old Frenchman just completed two years in the WorldTour with FDJ and has been racing bikes since the tender age of six. He talks about his time in the WorldTour, lining up for Flanders and Roubaix last year, and why he's left the road behind to race gravel this year. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

In der vierten Folge unserer Samstagsmorgen-Runde geht es ans Eingemachte. Zwischen Mallorca-Sonne und norwegischer Kälte diskutieren Simon, Leona und Martin über das, was hinter den glänzenden Kulissen der Radsport-Welt passiert. Wir räumen mit Vorurteilen auf und sprechen darüber, warum das Leben manchmal mehr Ähnlichkeit mit einem schweren Schlitten (einer Pulka) hat, als uns lieb ist.Diesmal im Fokus:- Sponsoring ohne Glamour: Wir räumen mit dem Mythos auf, dass jeder mit einem schicken Rad auch davon leben kann. - Das Pulka-Training: Simon erzählt von seiner Vorbereitung auf den hohen Norden – warum man im Sommer Autoreifen hinter sich herzieht und was das mit dem "Zen-Modus" beim Radfahren zu tun hat.- Ausrüstung & Akustik: Wir diskutieren über Knochenschall-Kopfhörer (Sicherheit vs. Sound) und warum Martins Rollentrainer dank Tennisbällen jetzt endlich nachgibt.- Abenteuer vs. Risiko: Ein kurzer Deep Dive zum Atlas Mountain Race – wie viel Eigenverantwortung braucht es, wenn es im Gebirge ernst wird?- Puls & Erholung: Warum Simons Ruhepuls uns alle staunen lässt und wie wir versuchen, Training, Job und diesen Podcast unter einen Hut zu bekommen.Eine Folge über die kleinen Hebel im Alltag und die Erkenntnis, dass auch Profis nur mit Wasser kochen.Shownotes:Leona auf Instagram https://www.instagram.com/heimatnomadin/Simon auf Instagram https://www.instagram.com/simonpatur/Martin auf Instagram https://www.instagram.com/biketourglobal/

Stage 2 of Sahara Gravel comprised 105km and 1800 meters of climbing. To recap the day, Payson is joined by former WorldTour pro Nicolas Roche and mountain biker Marta Torà, who are taking on the race together in the pairs category. They talk about how they've worked out their pacing strategy, what they each bring to the table with their vastly different racing backgrounds, and the tight battle they had today with a pair of men. They also talk about how they're using Sahara Gravel as training for the Cape Epic next month. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

Send a textWe share how Whiskey Thief keeps its farm soul while growing in Louisville and nationwide through direct-to-consumer shipping. We taste a nine-year rye, dig into pot still craft, and map the rising whiskey hub shaping the city's scene.• why grow and stay the same is the goal• how the urban tasting room mirrors the farm vibe• what pot distilling demands from a skilled team• where collaboration beats constant instruction• how maturation, storage, and weather shape flavor• why DTC unlocks access in 46 states• what legal compliance and taxes mean for shipping• how small-batch blending preserves identity• where Louisville's whiskey neighborhood is booming• what we taste in the nine-year ryeListen, like, leave good feedback and subscribeWhiskeythief.comThe first thing you notice is the feel. Gravel under tires at the farm, guitars on the wall in Louisville, and that instant sense you've walked into a place that treats whiskey like a craft and a community. We sat down with owner-operator Walter Zausch, director of distilling Lisa Wicker, head of experiences Amy, and Philip from Kentucky Bourbon Direct to unpack how Whiskey Thief scales without losing its single barrel soul—and why fans across 46 states can finally get bottles shipped legally to their door.We start where their story lives: pot stills, sharp palates, and a team that can make precise cuts without babysitting. Lisa explains how collaboration speeds quality, from early peach brandy iterations to doubling yields while tightening flavor. Then we go deeper into maturation: the moment when the barrel becomes the hero around eight to ten years, how ricked versus palletized storage bends outcomes, and why Kentucky's wild winter swings can turn vanilla, mint, and dry cocoa into surprising notes in a nine-year rye. If you love rye whiskey, this tasting will light up your curiosity—minty lift, caramel undertow, and a clean finish at 121 proof.Access is the other revolution. Philip breaks down the direct-to-consumer engine that handles compliance, taxes, and shipping so craft producers can focus on making great juice. The result is real: Whiskey Thief ships to 46 states, fans no longer leave empty-handed, and brands gain data and margins that keep the lights on without surrendering independence. With Louisville's whiskey hub booming—Heaven's Door, Chicken Cock, WhistlePig, and more within walking distance—the city offers a concentrated tour of American whiskey culture while the farm preserves the barrel-thieving experience you can't get anywhere else.We close with the future: small, intentional blends that mirror the five-barrel magic of on-site tastings, a boutique approach that respects terroir, weather, and the patience great spirits demand. If you're here for craft, character, and smarter access to bottles you actually want, you'll feel at home with us.

Reach out and touch us: shiftlesslive@gmail.comThe hosts record at Casa Verde after recent technical issues and discuss upcoming Fam Food Adventure Memories dinners. Bike topics include Schwalbe entering the 32-inch tire market across mountain, gravel, and reportedly road, plus a rumor of a major brand debuting a 32-inch bike at Sea Otter. They discuss a theory that brands are trying to convert post-COVID gravel buyers who aren't “N+1” riders by offering more stable, confidence-inspiring mountain bikes to expand participation. They talk about the Salsa full-suspension gravel e-bike (Class 3, ~40 lb, 2.2" tires, ~50-mile range) with a high price, and debate who the market is for. They also review the Salsa Stormchaser (frameset vs complete pricing, sliding dropouts, ability to fit 2.2" tires) and discuss bottom bracket standards (criticizing press-fit). The episode covers New Jersey's new law treating any e-bike as a motorcycle (lights, mirror, DOT helmet, plate/registration, insurance) and predicts more sweeping enforcement elsewhere due to high-speed e-bike accidents. The conversation branches into parallels with the gun industry's COVID boom, long-range shooting training to 800 yards, safety and education, and how event organizers manage participant risk. They close with planning notes for Trinity Trio (moved to Sunday the 15th, ~100 miles full route) and conclude with the host heading to Whitesboro to document the kitchen and refrigeration setup.00:00 Mic Check Mayhem: Are We Actually Recording?00:38 Welcome to Shiftless at Casa Verde (Weather, Vibes, Pool Talk)01:21 What's on the Agenda: 32-inch Wheels, E-Bikes & New Laws02:43 FAM Food Adventure Memories Sponsor + Dinner Schedule Updates04:50 January Dinners Canceled: Snow Forecasts, Ice, and Event Chaos07:11 Gravel Road Conditions After the Storm: Potholes, Chunk & Predictions10:21 February 28 FAM Dinner Promo + Menu Tease12:38 Sbarro in New York: The ‘Good Slice' Misunderstanding Storytime16:58 Back to Bikes: Schwalbe Enters 32-Inch Tires + Road/UCI Speculation18:37 The Big Theory: Turning Gravel Newbies into N+1 Riders via MTB22:13 Training Slump & Sick Weeks: Getting Back on the Bike23:16 Salsa Stormchaser Deep Dive: Dropouts, 2.2" Clearance & Build Options28:39 New Salsa Wander: Full-Suspension Gravel E-Bike Arrives29:13 Teal Talk & First Impressions of Salsa's New Gravel E‑Bike30:02 Specs Breakdown: Range, Weight, Tires, Class 3 Speed—and the $13K Question33:46 Salsa Lineup Rumors: Warbird, Spearfish, Name Changes & What's “Coming Soon”35:47 All‑Road vs Gravel: Surly Midnight Special, Industry Identity Crisis & COVID Hangover36:47 SHOT Show Parallels: Forecasting, N+1 Culture, and the ‘Year of the Suppressor'40:15 Range Life: Long‑Range Qualification, Training Layers, and Why Suppressors Rule47:00 Insurance, Scuba Tragedy & Event Risk—From Cave Diving Rules to Gravel Shenanigans54:05 Running Safer Gravel Events: New Rider Handholding, Self‑Responsibility & 101 Clinics01:00:12 Beginner Progression: Gear Overwhelm, Skill Layering, and Building a Real Training Program01:03:09 Back to Riding: Garmin Recovery Shock & Texas Chainring Massacre Weather Check01:05:05 Windy, deceptively cold night ride (wet bulb & layering mistakes)01:06:45 Whitesboro food service plan + kitchen/fridge scouting01:07:54 Locking in March dates & moving Trinity Trio to Sunday01:09:06 Trinity Trio route breakdown: Gateway–Sansom–River Legacy mileage01:09:48 What bike (or e-bike) works?

In der dritten Folge lassen wir die oberflächlichen Trends mal beiseite und sprechen über das, was uns alle wirklich umtreibt: Wie passt ambitioniertes Radfahren eigentlich in einen normalen Alltag, ohne dass man dabei ausbrennt oder die Freude verliert?Wir teilen unsere ganz persönlichen Ansichten zu Themen, die oft zu kurz kommen:Der Kampf gegen den inneren Druck: Leona spricht offen darüber, wie schwer es ist, sich nicht ständig selbst zu fragen „Hast du heute genug gemacht?“ und warum Nichtstun manchmal die größte Herausforderung ist.Das Privileg Zeit: Wir reflektieren, wie privilegiert wir eigentlich sind, Training und Leidenschaft überhaupt in unseren Alltag integrieren zu können – und warum man den Respekt vor dem „normalen“ Radfahren ohne Leistungsgedanken nicht verlieren darf.Partnerschaft & Hobby: Ein ehrlicher Blick darauf, wie man große Rad-Träume mit Familie und Beziehung vereinbart, ohne dass einer auf der Strecke bleibt.Oberflächlichkeit der Rad-Bubble: Warum teure Bikes und Ausrüstung nichts über die tatsächliche Performance aussagen und warum mentale Stärke am Ende viel mehr zählt als jedes Gramm Carbon.Ernährungs-Check: Simon berichtet von seinem veganen Monat und wir diskutieren, ab wann die Auseinandersetzung mit dem Essen eigentlich „zu nerdig“ wird.Eine Folge für alle, die sich manchmal im Vergleichswahn von Social Media verlieren und eine Erinnerung daran suchen, worum es beim Radfahren eigentlich geht: Den Spaß an der Sache.Shownotes:Leona auf Instagram https://www.instagram.com/heimatnomadin/Simon auf Instagram https://www.instagram.com/simonpatur/Martin auf Instagram https://www.instagram.com/biketourglobal/Zur Umfrage "Alles für Radreise & Bikepacking": https://www.biketour-global.de/2026/02/01/umfrage-ausruestung-radreise-2026/

They chat about her perspective of cycling as an “online space” and how she is helping to remind cyclists that the spirit of gravel is still very much alive.

Winter is here in the UK, so while Saul and Lucy hunker down, don layers and fire up the kettle more frequently than usual, what do their minds turn to in the garden? This is the perfect season for clearance of 2025 growth, for establishing new designs and for de-cluttering stores and greenhouses. Any hours that you can put into the garden now, will reward you hugely come spring and summer, when the jobs mount up. Quick - more tea and biscuits!With Saul having indoor mouse problems (three of them!) and Lucy admitting her addiction to homogenous gravel, the duo reveal what really presses a professional gardener's buttons during winter. Thankfully, rose pruning season is also in earnest so Lucy is getting her horticultural fix. Saul has been pressing new buttons, too (see his instagram link, below) and discovering that in social media world, January is the new February for seed sowing. Is this wise, or should seed packets remain closed a little longer?

Gravel riding makes many motorcycle riders uneasy — not because the bike is out of control, but because it doesn't behave the way pavement has trained us to expect. The front wanders, the bars move, braking distances grow, and the instinct is to hold on tight and slow down — usually making things worse. On this episode of Rider Skills, we break gravel riding down into four clear lessons: how to let the bike move without panicking; how throttle, braking, and electronics change traction on loose surfaces; how to read gravel roads and choose lines intentionally; and why braking and cornering with limited traction is not only possible, but fun.

Do you actually need a damper on a gravel bike? Logan Jones-Wilkins joins the show to discuss his massive suspension shootout comparing the Cane Creek Invert, RockShox Rudy, and Fox 32 TC. We break down the winners, the losers, and where the "upside-down" tech actually makes sense. Then, we tackle the controversy of the week: The Leadville Trail 100 MTB drop-bar ban. Josh digs into the archives to see if drop bars truly offer an advantage, or if this rule change is purely aesthetic. Finally, we ask if the new Pinarello Grevil MX is a legitimate race bike or just a way to move overstock frames.

In this episode, I sit down with Kristi Mohn to talk about the 20 year anniversary of Unbound Gravel, the impact of community and local flavor on race longevity, and why the work for women and diversity is always worth doing. We talk about leadership in every day life and the power of subtle influence that occurs independent of platform size. Kristi has some very cool new things coming up including a gravel training camp called Training Grounds in Patagonia, AZ in late February that's meant to help riders get ready for the big spring classic races like Mid South and Unbound. You can learn more about Training Grounds here: https://www.ridebikeseatfood.com/traininggroundspatagonia

People keep saying gravel is dead — not because it disappeared, but because it changed. In this video, Anthony sits down with pro gravel racer Nathan Haas for an honest conversation about how gravel racing became faster, more professional, and more competitive than ever, and how that evolution may have stripped away some of what made it special in the first place. This isn't about blame or nostalgia for the “good old days,” but about understanding what actually happened as gravel grew from a loose, community-driven scene into a serious racing discipline.Go to ⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.skool.com/roadman/about to sign up to our FREE community!

Mads Würtz Schmidt might be a newcomer to gravel, but he's already established himself as one of the best in the world. The 31-year-old Danish rider went all in on the sport last year with little financial support and ended up winning the Traka, becoming the European Gravel Champion, and snagging fourth at Unbound. This year, he'll be racing alongside Keegan Swenson and Matt Beers as part of the new Specialized off-road team. Mads joined Payson in Girona to talk about his reluctant departure from the WorldTour, how becoming a dad has changed everything, and why he prefers doing heat training to altitude training. They also talk about his dominance as a junior and U23 rider, the low point in 2022 when he thought about quitting cycling altogether, and how he thinks the introduction of teams into gravel (including Specialized Off-road) will change the sport. Thank you to TrainingPeaks for sponsoring this episode.

Prisons have frequently been presented as a “solution” to the economic woes and employment needs of rural communities around the US—but that doesn't mean residents of these communities want them there. In Franklin County, Arkansas, for instance, residents are banding together in opposition to the state's plans to build a mega-prison in their area. In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa speaks with Lauren Gill, a staff reporter from Bolts magazine, and Natalie Cadena, executive director of the Arkansas-based rural advocacy nonprofit Gravel & Grit, about the fight in Franklin County and rural America's changing relationship to the prison-industrial complex. Guests: Lauren Gill is a staff writer at Bolts. She previously worked as a reporter for The Appeal, Newsweek, and the Brooklyn Paper. Her reporting on the criminal legal system has also appeared in ProPublica, Rolling Stone, The Intercept, Slate, The Nation, and The Marshall Project, among others.Natalie Cadena is a seasoned education professional and writer with over 15 years in public education and 5 years of experience in professional writing. She is also the executive director of Gravel & Grit, a 501(c)(4) nonprofit dedicated to transparency, accountability, and rural advocacy in the state of Arkansas.Additional links/info:Gravel & Grit website and InstagramLauren Gill, Bolts, “The prison next door”Caroline McCoy, Oxford American, “Arkansas's faulty plan to build a mega prison”Credits:Producer / Videographer / Post-Production: Cameron Granadino Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-real-news-podcast--2952221/support.Help us continue producing radically independent news and in-depth analysis by following us and becoming a monthly sustainer.Follow us on:Bluesky: @therealnews.comFacebook: The Real News NetworkTwitter: @TheRealNewsYouTube: @therealnewsInstagram: @therealnewsnetworkBecome a member and join the Supporters Club for The Real News Podcast today!

show notes: Quick recap of last year and what's coming up: East Texas Showdown 400, had to get plucked out of the woods at night. Smashed my rear derailleur Capital City gravel race series. I won both a flatbar and a singlespeed gravel races! Then I cracked my magnesium frame. Got it replaced with a Niner aluminum frame. Why metal frames can be a better choice than carbon for gravel and MTB. Quick review of who I am and why you might like this show! How we swam 22 miles nonstop across Lake Tahoe Back to Year in review: Kai's magnesium bike is getting warrantied, but he ordered a State carbon frame to race Pro on in the meantime. We bikepacked 200 miles across the Texas Hill Country and camped on an island overnight. Waited patiently for several years and CARBON WHEELS APPEARED! But they are hookless. Why hookless are dangerous. Kai’s State Carbon frame and crazy downtube storage Amazfit T-Rex 3 vs. Garmin Fenix Stretch out purchases to strategically keep you motivated The Zen of things that just show up. How I did a self-supported gravel Ironman. Why half-ironman training year-round is probably the best fitness plan for health and longevity. High volume training is only successful if you think about how to make the different sports work for each other instead of against. Gravel bike with aerobars allows you to train Ironman level on safer roads How I came up with distances for the gravel Ironman Emily’s getting back into running for health reasons How gravel bikes are evolving just like Tri bikes did 20 years ago. How Minimalism has evolved into the Slow Movement. How to use the timing bezel on a diving watch to do training intervals. How to use the timing bezel for fueling every 15 minutes! The history of "double wristing" and it's REAL! Lot's of people do it. Why I have a great use for real analog diving watches with rotating diving timre bezels How people react and view YouTube videos differently than long form audio. What actually started WW2.

Riding faster on gravel isn't about copying road training plans or just riding longer and harder — it's about training smarter for the unique demands of the surface. In this episode, Rosa Klöser breaks down how she prepares to win the biggest gravel races in the world, from Unbound to the Rift, on courses that couldn't be more different.We get deep into how she structures her training blocks, why VO₂ max and fatigue resistance matter more than you think, and how nutrition, pacing, and altitude play a bigger role than raw power. Stay to the end, where Rosa explains the mindset shift that helped her start winning — not just surviving — the hardest gravel races on the calendar.Go to ⁠⁠www.roadmancycling.com/2026⁠⁠ to sign up for Not Done Yet.

Today, Mike joins us from Loretto, Mexico, and on his way down there, he stopped in Los Algodones to get his rotten teeth fixed in what's become known as Molar City. Mike recounts his experience with Mexico's booming low-cost dental industry and how, at one point, he thought he might be in a Quentin Tarantino film.

What happens when you mix a live Sweet Spot group ride, real-time coaching, fueling advice, tech questions, and unfiltered athlete Q&A? You get a live, no-BS training session led by Coach Frank that covers how cyclists train. Pardon the audio as we recorded from our discord channel that was live during the ride. In this ride & podcast, we dove into a dozen or more topics, including: 1. How to ride Sweet Spot by feel (no rigid intervals required) 2. Why Sweet Spot is "not too hard, not too easy — just right" 3. Fueling correctly indoors (70–90g carbs/hr and why it matters) 4. ERG mode: when to use it and when it hurts your training 5. Using time-in-zone instead of chasing perfect watts 6. Heart rate vs power for Sweet Spot Time in Zone Accuracy 7. Training consistency, durability, and long-ride fatigue resistance 8. How to adapt training when life, travel, injuries, or holidays happen 9. Festive 500 strategy for road, gravel, crit, and masters athletes 10. Strength training + endurance: how to blend them without burnout 11. Why most plateaus are caused by doing the same thing too long 12. How CoachCat helps revise plans, answer questions, and guide decisions in real time

When Kevin Vermaak left his job in IT to found a brand-new type of bike race, he had no idea how much money he'd lose up front or how successful the resulting event would become. 20 years in, and the Cape Epic is one of the most famous bike races in the world. After leaving it behind in 2016, Kevin began mulling over a new idea — a gravel stage race that explored a completely different part of South Africa. This year, he launched Gravel Burn, a seven-day event in the Great Karoo. It took years for Cape Epic to grow into what it is today, but Gravel Burn attracted some pretty fierce competition from year one, including Tom Pidcock, Ashleigh Moolman-Pasio, Matt Beers, and Lauren Stephens. In this episode, Kevin tells Payson about how a series of globe-trotting adventures in the early 2000s inspired him to start the Cape Epic, why he thinks Gravel Burn has the potential to be even bigger, and the logistics of planning such a remote, multi-day event. He talks about the things he hopes to do better next year, why he's actually glad that the infamous stage six of the race had to be neutralized, and why he needed nearly twice as many staff members as there were race participants in order to pull the whole thing off.This episode was brought to you by TrainingPeaks and Osprey. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc
