Stage 6 of Gravel Burn did not go according to plan. Strong winds led to treacherous conditions, and after Swiss rider Andri Frischknecht suffered a crash due to high crosswinds, the 144-kilometre stage was neutralised. To recap the day, Payson is joined by South African rider Hayley Preen, who is currently sitting in third place in the GC. They talk about the weather out on course, what it was like to slow roll the rest of the stage after the decision was made to neutralise it, and what they're anticipating for tomorrow's seventh and final stage. This episode was made possible by TrainingPeaks. Listen all the way to the end to hear some of Hayley's numbers from the race so far.Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

Campagnolo's Super Record X evolved from their 13-speed wireless road drivetrain and employs an off-road-specific rear derailleur with their Nano Clutch and race-focused gearing, but can it compete against GRX and Red? Velo tech editor Josh Ross explains the just-released Italian gruppo and their new, 50mm tall Bora gravel wheels. Alvin was at Rivian's launch of their (questionably named) Also TM-B e-bike and has all the details of this tech-heavy city rig. The Also employs a pedal-by-wire belt drive system, magnesium housing with TWO motors, an inverted suspension fork, and a car-like regenerative braking feature, but Levy wants to know if it will ever be available or if it's destined for vaporware status? Lastly, the crew digs into Josh's comprehensive indoor trainer buyer's guide, including the least expensive smart trainer that makes sense, why you should consider buying used, haptics and other add-ons, and what his price-no-object indoor setup might look like. They also share their tricks for making indoor rides "fun." Further reading I've ridden 32,000 Miles on Indoor Trainers. These Are the Best Ones.

Jeez, that Dave and Ronan can sure ramble on about a new groupset. Indeed, this week's Geek Warning has the geeks geeking over Campagnolo's much-awaited release of 1x13 wireless. They chat about what's new, the limitations of a single chainring for general road riding, and why the future for the iconic Italian manufacturer seems brighter.While that chat may be a little premium for some tastes, the rest of the episode is all about more practical things.

Stage 5 of Gravel Burn was slow despite being more than 50% paved, and it finished on a 2500-foot climb. Tom Pidcock took the stage win and joins Payson to recap the day. They also discuss the logistics of his Il Lombardia / UCI Gravel Worlds double-header earlier this month, why he decided to take a break from his off season to come to South Africa, and how he chooses which events and disciplines to put on his schedule. This episode was made possible by TrainingPeaks.Gravel Burn GC standings after stage 5:Women: 1.

Stage 4 of Gravel was 111 kilometres of near-constant headwind. Payson is joined by Speed Company duo Lukas Baum and Georg Eggers to get the lowdown on their moves that shook up the race early and how Lukas's flat impacted his third-place GC position. Lukas and Georg have been friends since they raced as juniors. After becoming XC Junior World Champion in 2013, however, Lucas fell out of love with the sport and quit altogether. It was Georg who convinced him to start again in 2022, this time on a two-person team and focusing on stage races. In their first attempt at the Cape Epic, they won, and it set them and their brand new, barely funded team on a new path. They tell Payson about how grassroots it all was in the beginning and why they chose to focus on marathon and stage racing. Plus, Lukas has an axe to grind with American gravel.This episode is sponsored by TrainingPeaks.Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

In dieser Episode tauchen Christoph Strasser und Florian Kraschitzer tief in die Welt des Ultracyclings ein. Sie sprechen mit Rick Steffen, einem leidenschaftlichen Ultra Radfahrer, der seine Reise von den Anfängen im Kunstradfahren bis hin zu Siegen bei Rennen wie dem Badlands und dem Streckenrekord beim 24-Stunden-Rennen am Nürburgring schildert. Besonders beim Badlands über 815 Kilometer und 15.000 Höhenmeter musste Rick aber auch fürchterliche Rückschläge, wie zum Beispiel einen Sturz in der Wüste hinnehmen. Verletzungen und ein kaputtes Rad, mitten in der Einöde, ohne Hilfe und Versorgung - hier wurde es wirklich kritisch und Rick musste sich zuerst einmal selbst aus dieser Situation befreien. Trotz dieser negativen Erfahrung kam Rick aber ein Jahr später zurück und stelle sich dieser Herausforderung erneut, die als eine der schwierigsten auf Gravel gilt. Rick teilt seine Erfahrungen über die Herausforderungen und die akribische Vorbereitung, die für solche extremen Rennen notwendig sind. Er erzählt von der Balance zwischen Beruf und Sport, den technischen Feinheiten seines Setups und den mentalen Hürden, die es zu überwinden gilt. Außerdem haben wir ein "Feedback der Woche", das zum Nachdenken anregt, und diskutieren die Themen Schmerzmittel im Ultracycling und Müll auf der Strecke, denn hier gab es im Zuge des Badlands eine Kontroverse, die für viel Diskussionen sorgte.

Miguel Crawford started hosting friends and then friends of friends on gravel rides throughout Sonoma County in the mid-1990s. Now he's just wrapped up his 28th year of hosting the Grasshopper Adventure Series, and best yet, he just wrapped up his first Megahopper. The Megahoppier is a route I first rode in 2021 and I was back this year for the first Grand Depart, the first mass start of this event. 414 miles across Sonoma County with trips in Lake, Marin, and Napa Counties as well. What an adventure. Check out Grasshopper Adventure Series and specifically the Megahopper, here Thanks Matt Scarborough and Bicycle Accident Law Try AGZ by visiting drinkAG1.com/tedking

Siempre hemos hecho autocrítica confirmando que a menudo hablamos mucho del gravel en Barcelona o Girona ya que son las zonas por las que más nos movemos nosotros. En este episodio nos vamos a la otra punta de la península para hablar con Galician Gravel Cycling.Es una de las comunidades gallegas más potentes que, por amor al gravel, organizan salidas, eventos y experiencias. Y si no las organizan ellos, le dan visibilidad con el objetivo de hacer crecer esta modalidad en su zona. Charla muy informal, mucho. Quizá demasiado, para hablar sobre el gravel en Galicia. De su terreno, de sus zonas, de las marcas que más se usan, de qué busca la gente, qué material llevan y del crecimiento de esa disciplina. Gracias por escuchar, empezamos a preparar ya el próximo episodio. 

Stage two of Gravel Burn was 108 kilometres from Avontuur to Willowmore and it was much drier than yesterday. Both Matt Beers and Axelle Dubau-Prévot managed to hold on to their leads, but there were shakeups in the rest of the field. Payson is joined by Haley Smith to break down the day, including her tight finish for third, why she was so excited to compete in the event, and how she's approaching this last race of the season after a challenging year. Thank you to TrainingPeaks for making this episode possible.Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

Our daily Gravel Burn recaps start tomorrow, so we're bringing you an overview of the seven-day South African stage race, including a day-by-day breakdown of the route and a rundown of the start list, which features the likes of Tom Pidcock, Lachlan Morton, Alison Jackson, and Lauren Stephens. Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

Stage 1 of Gravel Burn is done and dusted -- a cold, rainy 84 kilometers with a spicy 2,000+ meters of climbing. Payson is joined by French gravel national champions Axelle Dubau-Prévot and Hugo Drechou to break down the race. Despite viewing this trip more as a holiday than anything else, Axelle took the win today over WorldTour legend Ashleigh Moolman and her fellow South African Hayley Preen. Hugo also landed on the podium, taking third in a sprint finish with Matt Beers and Andri Frishknecht. As he explains in this conversation, third is exactly where he wants to be. This episode was made possible by TrainingPeaks.Instagram: @withpacepodcastYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

Exploring Aurora's unique multi-day rally format and the people bringing gravel culture to Cyprus, Switzerland, and Portugal. This week, we're heading overseas for a new kind of gravel adventure. The Aurora Gravel Rally Series blends the spirit of exploration with the thrill of competition — taking riders across stunning landscapes in Cyprus, Switzerland, and Portugal. Craig sits down with Fiona, Race Director for the Portugal event, to unpack what makes the Aurora Gravel format so special. From timed rally segments to all-inclusive multi-day experiences, Fiona shares how Aurora is redefining what it means to race and travel on gravel. Expect insights on: How rally-style racing works and why it opens gravel to more riders The cultural flavor of each European stop — from the Mediterranean to the Alps Aurora's vision for balancing community, challenge, and discovery What makes Portugal a hidden gem for gravel cyclists If you've ever dreamed of combining racing with real adventure, this one's for you.

What happens when success leaves you feeling empty?In this Bite-sized Screw It Just DO It episode, I revisit my conversation with Dan Murray-Serter, co-founder of Heights and host of Secret Leaders. Dan shares the exact moment he realised his business, Gravel, was winning awards but draining his purpose.Rather than chase growth for the sake of it, Dan and his co-founder made a bold call, to shut the company down, return investor money, and start from zero. Out of that decision came Heights, a brain-care brand built on science, transparency, and genuine wellbeing.This short episode is about the courage to stop, reassess, and rebuild with intention. It's a must-listen for founders feeling stuck, burned out, or questioning their direction.Key TakeawaysBurnout can be a signal, not a setback. When your work drains you, it's often a sign to change direction.Success without purpose feels empty. Dan learned that achievements mean little without alignment to your values.Resetting isn't failure. Ending a company can open space for something far stronger.Build around authenticity. Heights grew from being transparent, not perfect.Courage comes from clarity. Once Dan recognised what felt wrong, the decision to start again became obvious.

Julien Gagne, from Quebec, Canada, has raced at the highest level in both mountain biking and road but has more recently turned his attention to gravel and is competing at some of the biggest races in the U.S. This past August he was treated to a champaign shower as the overall victor in a stacked Core4 race. We caught up with Julien the week before his 4th place finish at the rain-shortened Big Sugar gravel race: "Half the distance, twice the speed!" he wrote after the race!

Suspension forks on gravel bikes is a dividing line in the cycling world. For many, they are a tool that expands the use of the bike and reduces the stress associated with the rugged terrain that gravel biking revolves around. Others dismiss the tech as reinventing mountain bikes from the 1990s. We've been wanting to dig into this topic for a while because Rodeo Labs bikes could be well-suited for a little suspension, if that is your thing. This summer, Logan finally got enough time on two different fork options to investigate the strengths and weaknesses of gravel suspension. Stephen, who has been trying suspension forks for the last year, joined in on the podcast to add his two cents. Nevertheless, we wanted this podcast to be more than simply Stephen and Logan breaking down their experiences. So, we called up Will Hart, the product marketing manager at Cane Creek, to get into the gritty details of their Invert gravel fork and muse on the philosophy behind building specific gravel tech. If you are interested in investigating this further, Logan tested the Cane Creek Invert SL and the Rock Shox Rudy Ultimate XPLR. Both options had 30mm of travel, with the Rock Shox priced at $929 compared to the Cane Creek Invert SL at $1,099. Stephen tested the Cane Creek Invert CS and Fox 32 TC – Grip SL. Both forks had 40mm of travel, with the Fox priced at $999 and the Cane Creek at $1,199.

I recently went on a ride with a friend who brought his gravel bike. I showed up with my mountain bike—and honestly, I had a blast.It got me thinking: do we really need a gravel bike, or is it just another shiny object in the cycling world? In this episode, I unpack that question. We'll explore the differences between gravel and mountain bikes, what the marketing gets right (and wrong), and how to make gear decisions that align with your goals—not just the trends.If you've ever wondered whether your current setup is enough, or felt the pull of the next big upgrade, this one's for you. Have you recently gotten into cycling?

Os pedimos que nos mandaráis fotos de vuestras bicis gravel para que las comentaramos y en el podcast y así ha sido. No es un análisis técnico más bien una manera entretenida de ver cómo cada uno entiendo que el gravel: más aventurero o explorador, más racing, unos con más lujos y otros con menos. Todo es gravel, todo vale. Además os recomendamos los podcast que solemos escuchar nosotros mismos. Los de Laura un poco más enfocados al deporte y ciclismo y los de Carlos algo más centrados en entrenamiento de fuerza/resistencia y generalistas. ¿Por qué recomendamos otros podcast? Para que no os falte qué escuchar cuando estéis entrenando ;) Como sabéis esta segunda temporada hemos decidido sacar episodios cada 2 semanas y así en ese vacío existencial entre martes y martes, podeís tener contenido.

Com Ana Lidia Borba direto do Mundial de Gravel, nos Países Baixos, o RADIO traz as principais notícias da semana, que incluem o imparável sucesso de Tadej Pogacar, os recordes da UAE e uma Volta de Santa Catarina que fez todo brasileiro voltar a sonhar (e se orgulhar).

Een nieuwe aflevering van In Het Wiel over de Ronde van Lombardije én het WK gravel. Eerst bespreekt Niek Goedvolk met Roxane Knetemann en Daniël Dwarswaard hoe Tadej Pogacar na nog maar eens een solo het record van Fausto Coppi evenaarde: dit keer was er niet eens iemand die de Sloveen ook maar probeerde te volgen. Niet echt spannend dus, maar Rox had daardoor genoeg tijd om in de pen te kruipen en een schitterende ode aan De Koers van de vallende bladeren voor te bereiden. Daarna hebben we het over het WK gravel voor vrouwen, want wat gebeurde daar allemaal? Yara Kastelijn haalde haar eigen landgenote én roomie Shirin van Anrooij terug in de slotkilometer, zodat Lorena Wiebes uiteindelijk wereldkampioen kon worden. Waarom deed ze dat? En moet het WK wel in deze vorm worden verreden? Je hoort het in deze podcast.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This episode was released for Friends of the Podcast subscribers at the start of the year and, with the 2025 UCI Gravel World Championships taking place in Maastricht in the Netherlands over the weekend, we're making the episode available for everyone to listen to in the build-up to the race. So, let's go back to October 2024... (This episode is part of our Friends of the Podcast series. It will be available on our regular feed until the end of the weekend. To sign up as a friend go to thecyclingpodcast.com) Last October, Lionel Birnie and Simon Gill went to Leuven in Belgium for the third edition of the UCI Gravel World Championships. They'd made the journey across the channel to the Flanders Classics many times but this was their first trip to a gravel race and they were keen to see what this overnight sensation (which was more than a century in the making) was all about. They meander through the history of gravel racing, examine where gravel and road converge, and take part in the Rainbow Gravel Ride, the sportive for amateur riders held on the finishing loop of the World Championship course. In this episode we hear from two American riders, Ian Boswell and Larry Warbasse, about their experiences of gravel racing, Colin Clews, the organiser of the Cicle Classic in Britain – a road race with gravel that preceded the current trend by a decade or so – and Connor Swift, who was in the thick of the racing in Leuven.

Gravel bike? Adventure bike? Bikepacking rig? With a drop handlebar but wide tires, proper suspension on both ends, and geometry that makes sense for good times on dirt, the just-released Trek CheckOUT looks like it's ready for... well, just about anything, be it a quick singletrack rip or a race from Canada to the Mexican border. Will Tracy and Levy look into the CheckOUT's features, including its near-endless mounting points and the new, longer travel Rudy XL fork, and Levy shares his questionable opinion from a mountain biker's perspective.  Velo's managing editor, Will Tracy, is also grilled by Levy to find out how he became The Boss, his time working for Peloton magazine, the differences between print and online cycling media, and how watching a race as a young kid shaped the rest of his life.

In this episode of Stuttering in Silence, hosts Matt and Gavin unravel the tragic story of the DeShong family — a case that shook Perkiomen Township, Pennsylvania.When 49-year-old Aaron DeShong called the FBI in September 2023, what investigators uncovered inside his home was almost unimaginable: his mother Wanda and his brother Adam, both shot dead. What followed was a trial that exposed years of resentment, a fractured family history, and a chilling glimpse into how grief can spiral into violence.We dive deep into:The DeShong family's background and the decision that ignited Aaron's resentment.The chilling 911-style call that set the investigation in motion.How the prosecution and defense battled over motive, intent, and evidence.The jury's swift verdict of first-degree murder and Aaron's life sentence.The defense's promise of appeal, and what challenges may lie ahead.This isn't just a true crime story — it's a haunting reminder that sometimes the darkest conflicts are the ones that unfold inside a family home.

Just a few hours after winning Gravel Nationals, Bradyn Lange sat down with Payson at the house they were sharing in the lead-up to the race for a wide-ranging conversation about the event and all the things that had to fall into place to get him there. Bradyn has always identified more as a mountain biker than a gravel racer, but after struggling to find sponsors and snagging a rogue 4th place at Big Sugar in 2021, he managed to secure a sponsorship from Pinarello and a place in the 2022 Grand Prix. That season, he lived out of his van and worked multiple part-time jobs, and still managed to rack up some stand-out results, including the win at Chequamegon. In this conversation, Bradyn tells Payson about this phase of his life, as well as his unlikely win at Nationals, in which he crashed, got blocked by junior riders, broke his cleat, and missed the breakaway, all before launching to the front and winning solo. He also talks about his pivotal training camp with Orange Seal Academy last month, the financial gambles he took this season in the hopes of getting better results, and his lucky Blarney Stone.Instagram: @withpacepodYouTube: Payson McElveen Email: howdy@withpace.cc

Today, Trek launched a bike that's sure to spark debate in comments sections. It's called the CheckOut. It features a new 60 mm travel front suspension fork, courtesy of the RockShox Rudy XL, and 55 mm rear travel to match. It fits gravel-width cranks and has official clearance for up to 56 mm tyres (about a 29x2.25in).However, it's the design and testing of this bike that brings our fascination up to a boiling point. Trek published a white paper explaining how it used a rolling road with 3D motion capture, on bike sensors, and a metabolic mask to understand the benefits of having suspension on typical gravel terrain. We had questions.So with that, Alex Bedinghaus (Lead Design Engineer) and Kyle Russ (Analysis team) jumped on to geek out with Escape's Dave Rome. The conversation covers the design of the bike, what modern off-road efficiency testing looks like, why gravel bikes continue to go where mountain bikes have been, and plenty more.Meanwhile, head over to Escape Collective.com to see Dave Rome's early coverage of the new Check Out.Those on the free feed for Geek Warning get the first 25 minutes free.

Gravel and mountain bike riders - do you ever wonder why your rides may wreck you? This episode is for you. I'm unpacking what happens to your body when you leave smooth roads behind and enter the world of rocks, roots, vibration, and uneven terrain. I dive deep into: Why gravel/singletrack eats up more energy (vibration, rolling resistance, micro-muscle work) What strength & stability you need (core, grip, posture) to ride harder and recover quicker How to adapt your training and recovery so you don't end up beat, broken, or burnt out Nutrition tips to fuel the rough: protein, electrolytes, and enough carbs Gear & technique hacks: tires, posture, line choice, letting the bike do some of the work Studies referenced if you want to nerd-out:• “Effects of vibration on efficiency in off-road cyclists” (PMID 33948546)• “Strength Training Improves Performance and Pedaling Characteristics in Elite Cyclists” (PMID 24862305)• “Optimizing strength training for running and cycling endurance performance” (PMID 23914932) If you ride gravel or mountain bike, or you want to get into it without paying the price in soreness and fatigue, then this is the episode to guide your next few weeks of training.

On this episode Kathryn is chatting with Southeast Gravel Series co-founders Christy Keely and Nichole Johnson from Greenville, South Carolina. Southeast Gravel is a six event series with events in small towns across North and South Carolina. Before they were event coordinators, Christy and Nicole were teammates on the Kenda racing team in the early 2000s. Although they lived in different parts of the country, they became fast friends and eventually both moved to Greenville to be near each other, and the world-class riding that the area has to offer. The pair discuss how their friendship evolved to starting a multi-race cycling series, and how they have kept the series true to its homegrown roots, supporting small towns in their region. New for 2026 Southeast Gravel will be adding two guided trips to Belgium during the Tour of Flanders and Paris Roubaix spring classics. You can learn more about these new experiences, and the rest of the Southeast Gravel Series at southeastgravel.com and follow the on Instagram @southeastgravel.

Sometimes there's a delicate balance between being responsible and adhering to rules. Brent's waxing poetic about gravel roads and what he refers to as treasure from a time in his youth. He brings up a situation that forces him to weigh the difference between being on time, versus doing what's right. Conflicting rules, one imposed by his mother, and the other imposed by his own conscience. It's "This Country Life" time right here on the Bear Grease channel.
