Shimano's *mostly* new GRX Di2 12-speed group is the Japanese giant's first single-ring drivetrain for gravel, and it borrows tech from the mountain bike world to make it happen. Senior tech editor Alvin Holbrook has unboxed, installed, and ridden GRX Di2, and this week's episode sees the crew dive into his early impressions on shift speed, gear range, and how it compares to SRAM's wireless offerings. BMC had also just released a new, lighter and even more climbing-focused Teammachine SLR ahead of the Tour de France, while Orbea launched the revamped Terra Race gravel bike. We've ridden both bikes and Josh, Alvin, and Levy break down how they perform and who they best suit.

Der Besenwagen ist unterwegs nach Lille. Im Tour de France-Vakuum zwischen der letzten Vorbereitung und dem Grand Depart. Das größte Radsportereignis des Jahres zieht alles in seinen Bann und stellt die Gesetze der Schwerkraft auf den Kopf. Als wir beginnen die Bodenhaftung zu verlieren und anfangen schwerelos nach Frankreich zu treiben, schnappen wir uns die Anschnallgurte und wickeln uns um die Sitze. Je näher wir unserem Ziel kommen, desto schneller fliegen uns Newsartikel, fragwürdige Dokumentationen und seltsame Regelsätze rechts und links um die Ohren.

With more and more women now signing-up to race at the highest levels of the sport you would hope that race organisers would do everything in their power to make the experience for female racers as good as possible, but this hasn't always been the case. Elite racer Caroline Livesey reports back from The Gralloch, an event which is attempting to buck the trend and set the gold standard for women's gravel racing.Gravel Inspiration – Gravel riding with the Nepali cycling queenMost world-class athletes will be supervised by a security team and the closest you could hope to get to them is a rushed autograph at best. Fortunately for us, gravel riding is a different world. Earlier in the year, Olly was fortunate enough to be invited to go and join a group of passionate gravel riders as they participated in the inaugural Trans-Nepal gravel event. The head guide on the trip was Usha Khanal, who as a former Nepali cross-country and downhill national MTB champion, is as close to cycling royalty as you could hope to meet. Armchair Adventure – Riding the length of AfricaMost of us aspire to do a big ride at some point during our lives as gravel riders. But everyone's definition of ‘big' differs somewhat. It might be that 100 km or 200 km is as big as you imagine. For Wiebke Lühmann though big is a relative term. During 2024 she rode from her home in Germany down the west coast of Africa to reach the Cape of Good Hope, a total distance of over 20,000 km. We chatted with her recently to find out what makes her tick.
Aujourd'hui dans le podcast, l'équipe reçoit Jérôme Blanchet-Gravel, rédacteur en chef de Libre Média, pour une discussion approfondie sur divers sujets d'actualité, tant nationale qu'internationale, avec un accent particulier sur le monde latin. On discute avec lui de son périple au Salvador, ce pays d'Amérique centrale qui fait beaucoup parler de lui au cours des dernières années depuis l'élection, puis la révolution sécuritaire entreprise par son président Nayib Bukele. Est-ce un modèle à suivre ou une prospérité artificielle ?DANS LA PARTIE PATREON, on commence en écoutant l'attachée de presse de la Maison-Blanche, Karoline Leavitt, qui dément un article de CNN à propos d'un potentiel leak d'un rapport confidentiel qui contredirait le message officiel sur la destruction des sites nucléaires Iraniens par les États-Unis. Ensuite, on commente et analyse en détail le dernier sondage Léger Marketing sur les intentions de vote provinciales au Québec, ainsi qu'un sondage similaire concernant les intentions de vote en Colombie-Britannique. On termine en lisant deux articles de PiluleRouge, l'un sur l'investissement du fédéral dans l'armée canadienne, l'autre sur l'ultimatum lancé par l'Alberta au gouvernement fédéral, puis on poursuit l'écoute du montage de Joey des interventions de Paul Saint-Pierre Plamondon au podcast Contact de Stéphan Bureau.0:00 Intro 0:48 Jérôme de retour du Salvador 3:49 Une révolution sécuritaire 14:00 Une comparaison avec l'Argentine 21:13 Taux d'homicide par 100 000 habitants 24:51 Indicateur de la liberté d'expression 28:12 Une surprise sur le terrain ? 32:36 La situation politique en Iran 41:18 Lecture pandémique du conflit Israël-Iran 51:18 Conclusion

The Author Events Series presents Paul Muldoon | Joy in Service on Rue Tagore: Poems REGISTER In Conversation with Daisy Fried Since his 1973 debut, New Weather, Paul Muldoon has created some of the most original and memorable poetry of the past half century. Joy in Service on Rue Tagore sees him writing with the same verve and distinction that have consistently won him the highest accolades. Here, from artichokes to zinc, Muldoon navigates an alphabet of image and history, through barleymen and Irish slavers to the last running wolf in Ulster. The search involves the accumulated bric-a-brac of a life, and a reckoning along the way of gains against loss. In the poet's skillful hands, ancient maps are unfurled and brought into focus--the aggregation of Imperial Rome and the dismantling of Standard Oil, the pogroms of a Ukrainian ravine and of a Belfast shipyard. Through modern medicine and warfare, disaster and repair, these poems are electric in their energy, while profoundly humane in their line of inquiry. Paul Muldoon was born in County Armagh in 1951. He now lives in New York. A former radio and television producer for the BBC in Belfast, he has taught at Princeton University for thirty-five years. He is the author of fourteen previous collections of poetry, including Moy Sand and Gravel, for which he won the 2003 Pulitzer Prize. Daisy Fried is the author of five books of poetry: My Destination (forthcoming next year from Flood Editions and Carcanet Press), The Year the City Emptied, Women's Poetry: Poems and Advice, My Brother is Getting Arrested Again, a finalist for the National Book Critics Circle, and She Didn't Mean to Do It. She has been awarded Guggenheim, Hodder and Pew Fellowships. A core faculty member in the MFA Program for Writers at Warren Wilson College, and an occasional poetry critic for the New York Times, Poetry Foundation and elsewhere, she has lived in Philadelphia for decades, but will be moving to San Francisco at the end of the summer. The 2024/25 Author Events Series is presented by Comcast. Because you love Author Events, please make a donation when you register for this event to ensure that this series continues to inspire Philadelphians. Books will be available for purchase at the library on event night! All tickets are non-refundable. (recorded 5/14/2025)
Well, that was an extremely exciting and unpredictable race...until Marc Márquez woke up and showed everyone how it's done, again. Yes, nr. 93 achieved his 93th victory in his archrival's backyard, while his brother Alex fights off Bagnaia and a surprisingly competitive Di Giannantonio. So what else is there to talk about? Well, we've got a bunch of knobheads booing, a 'dead bike riding' and penalties escaliting into punishments. And a lot more, too, but you're just going to have to have a listen for yourself, eh?Cheers! Want more? Visit our website or support us on Patreon.

Caroline Livesey is an adventurer, extreme triathlete, ultracyclist, elite gravel cyclist and triathlon and life coach. Caroline started her journey into triathlon while serving with the Royal Engineers in the British Army. After 10 years service she left as a Major in 2013 and pursued a career as a professional triathlete (while working full time as a geotechnical design consultant), originally in Ironman events. In 2019 circumstances conspired to throw her into her first extreme triathlon, Canadaman XTRI. Winning this event was the catalyst for her to work on her mindset and physical adaptations to take on the gruelling climate conditions which are typical for the Extreme Triathlons such as Norseman and Celtman. She has since won numerous extreme events, and has just returned from winning Patagonman in Chile for the second time. Caroline is also an elite gravel cyclist, competing for Team GB at the last two World Championships (where she thinks she was the oldest on the start line by some 20 years). She loves single day UCI gravel races but also ultra distance, and has competed at Badlands (3rd), finished Transcordilleras (Colombia), and completed coast-to-coast across Costa Rica in less than two days. She completed the 1000km Transcordilleras, an 8-day stage race, in February this year. Caroline's husband Mark is a documentary / film maker and they make films about their adventures (YouTube, Amazon Prime - The Brick Session). Their purpose is to provide information and inspiration to others so that they might break down their own false beliefs to take on their own challenges. Caroline and Mark have founded Peak Education Nepal - a charity bringing education to the children of poor families in Nepal who cannot afford to go to school. They became involved in this while in Nepal for an event in 2022, and plan to go back this year to develop the charity and do another mountain trail running adventure.

Der Besenwagen fährt durch Tschechien. Vorbei an Wäldern und grünen Wiesen. Auf einer steht in Lederhosen Mathias Vacek und winkt uns mit einem fröhlichen „Servus!“ entgegen. Er schwingt sich auf seinen Drahtesel und führt uns ins nächste Lokal, es gibt Sushi, Pils und ein 7. Tiramisu. Nach erfolgreichen Jahren in den Jugendklassen, brillierte der Allrounder im Trikot von Lidl-Trek zuletzt beim Giro d'Italia und verhalf dem Team zu 6 Etappensiegen, zur Belohnung gab es jedes Mal eine Portion des italienisches Dessertklassikers. Das Siebte ist sozusagen der Vorschuss, denn der eigene große Sieg kommt bestimmt!
A run-in with a badger, a gentlemanly pee break, a spectacular sunset and some amazing competition—those were just a few of the features of Rob Britton's record-breaking Unbound Gravel XL win. It set his rough gravel season right, even if after more than two weeks following the race, the Victoria rider was still not fully recovered.Before the big event in Kansas, Britton's season wasn't going well. Bad luck, mostly, led to a series of results that left the Victoria rider frustrated. To change things up, he registered for the 350-mile version of Unbound. At 3 p.m. on May 30, he set off with a group of riders that included Ted King, Laurens ten Dam, Robin Gemperle and the rider Britton jokingly refers to as Gravel Jesus, Lachlan Morton. The next day, 17:49:51 after the race began, Britton crossed the finish line, winning Unbound XL with a record-setting time.In this episode, recorded just before gravel nationals in Water Valley, Alta., (but with a short clip following that event), Britton gets into the details of the race, including gear, fuelling and some of the tactical decisions he made. He discusses his long-time relationship with Lachlan Morton, which goes back to some of the Australian's earliest road races in North America. Today, there's a “Morton effect” on gravel racing that even had an influence on Britton's race beyond the one-on-one duelling on the rough roads of Kansas.Back in 2017, when Britton was a pro roadie, he won the Tour of Utah stage race. How does the biggest win of his road career compare with his victory at gravel's main event? How long does he think his Unbound XL record will last? And does his win in Emporia, Kansas, change anything or open any new doors for Britton? Find out.

Unbound gave us some incredible racing and smashed previous course records, but it wasn't without controversy. With higher speeds, larger fields, and more competition than ever before, the Unbound pit zones were hectic and dangerous, especially with pros and amateurs alike taking a free-for-all approach. Should Unbound add more rules to keep racers safe, or should they move to a fully unsupported format without pit zones? Alvin, Josh, and Levy also dig into all the new prototypes, including the unreleased Cervelo, something that sure looks like a new Specialized Diverge, and Factor's wild-looking aero machine that takes its DNA from their track bike. Alvin has also been riding DT Swiss' new F132 ONE gravel suspension fork and it sounds like he's a believer.

No podíamos dejar atrás la mítica carrera Unbound sin hacer un episodio con Polvu para que nos cuente sus entresijos. Hablamos del podio femenino y masculino, de cómo fue la carrera como tal y de ahí nos vamos a varios temas: ¿Cómo están montados los equipos y sus inversiones?, ¿está preparado un evento así para pasar de menos de 100 corredores a casi 5000?, ¿Cabe la gente en los avituallamiento? o ¿Qué equipos son más colaborativos a la hora de rodas en pelotón? o si hay un accidente en medio del recorrido... ¿cuánto tarda en llegar la asistencia médica?Otros temas quedaron en el tintero pero los mini debates fueron los protagonistas de este podcast en colaboración con nuestros amigos de Polvu. Gracias por escuchar, por estar. Un like, un comentario o uns suscripción de agradece para seguir haciendo crecer este pequeño podcast de gravel. La semana que viene, más =) hasta el martes que viene
We're glad you joined us for this episode! Use code ATE75 to receive $75 off any UESCA certificationIn this episode of ‘All Things Endurance,' host, Rick Prince chats with elite cycling coach, Ben Sharp. Ben is the co-owner of Sharp Coaching and has coached all levels of cyclists from amateurs to Olympic gold medalists. Ben himself is a masters track cycling world champion and former US masters national road race champion. In this episode, Rick and Ben discuss the rise of gravel and more specifically, how to train effectively for gravel racing and how it differs from training for other cycling disciplines. Some of the areas discussed are:· Key differences between road and gravel cycling· Importance of sustained power· Role of volume in training program· How to train for bike handling skills of gravel riding/racing· Different tactics based on the goal of a gravel race· How to properly warm up for a gravel raceIf you participate in gravel riding/racing, you won't want to miss this one!Talking Points for this Episode1. Could you tell our listeners a bit more about your background?2. As road racing has been on an unfortunate steady decline over the years in the US, gravel riding and racing has largely taken its place. What are some things that you attribute the rise of gravel to?3. Do you now see gravel replacing road racing as a means for US riders to get noticed and possibly, land pro contracts in Europe?4. What are some of the key differences with respect to training for gravel versus road?5. We hear about power training a lot with respect to cycling, how important is sustained power during gravel racing?6. What are some key bike-specific considerations with gravel riding/racing?7.

Spring is the season when gardeners throw off the hibernation and slumber of months of wet feet, many layers and waterproofs and are reborn anew! The stirring of life in the garden is one of the years great experiences, and makes a gardening life such a worthwhile pursuit, not only is it good for the planet to see the earth greening up, it is also good for the gardeners soul. But there is still lots of hard work to get on with - seeds have to be sown, mulch laid, supports erected and lawns mown. So join Lucy and Saul as they continue their professional gardening lives in the pure heaven that is Spring!Well, dear listener, we apologise for a man down this week - then a woman down, too.

Coughs, splutters and wipeouts aside, the latest episode has finally been edited - hurrah! The duo are in full waffle this week - enjoy chats about wisteria duvets, ermine invasions, blackbird heroes and the serenity of gravel raking.

Our necks are hurting from the whiplash of information regarding what tyres are actually fastest off-road. Ronan teases a fresh discussion he had about optimising one sponsored rider for Unbound and some surprising lessons that came from that. It's a topic that continues to fascinate, especially given some of the world's best cross-country mountain bikers have been racing Short Track on 50 mm gravel tyres.In addition to that, you'll hear Dave Rome, Alex Hunt, and Ronan McLaughlin explain why none of them are currently choosing to use 3D-printed saddles. There's a PSA for anyone with wireless shifting, and of course, there's new stuff to talk about, too.As usual, members also get our Ask a Wrench segment, which this week sees Dave Rome and pro race mechanic Brad Copeland answer a handful of questions, including: how keep 11-speed shifting running long-term, understanding bike handling, and best practises for travelling with new SRAM Full Mount derailleurs (Transmission and XPLR).

When Iz King got pregnant six months ago, she wasn't sure how it would affect her career as a gravel racer. Like many female athletes who want to start a family someday, she was all too aware that pregnancy, like being an elite-level competitor, is contingent on a finite biological window. She knew right away that she wanted to continue racing, but she also knew that her career was going to change significantly. This year, she's continued to race, but she has no intention of being at the front of the pack. In fact, she found out pretty quickly that a new instinct had taken control of her brain that put her baby's safety above her competitiveness. Payson sat down with Iz at her house in Los Angeles to talk about how her Garmin knew she was pregnant a full two weeks before a pregnancy test did, what her first race of the season was like, and how she broke the news of her pregnancy to her sponsors. She also talks about wanting to help other gravel racers navigate starting a family while maintaining their careers and where she's hoping to take her career after her daughter arrives.Get tickets for the premiere of 'Crossing New Zealand' here: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/crossing-new-zealand-film-premier-and-social-ride-tickets-1350916600919?aff=oddtdtcreatorInstagram: @withpacepodYouTube: Payson McElveen
