Two big Gravel races happened and neither were even Gravel races. (Does anyone still capitalize the world "Gravel" or is that just us?) Anywho, join the Holy Spirit of Gravel meme page admin ("Holy" for short) and her Gravel Dad best friend has they discuss Little Sugar MTB race and the UCI Gravel World Championships. Like I said neither was what we come to expect from your typical gravel race.
It all begs the question. Is the soul of elite Gravel MTB races? or is it euro-coded dusty road races? Does it matter at all? or is what really matters the pro athletes we ride along side and we connect with? We discuss it all in this episode of the pod.
Also! Big Sugar is coming up in a few days and the Holy Spirit of Gravel will be hosting a panel (i.e. activating at an activation) with the support of MAAP and some bike shop called The HUB Bike Lounge...sounds fancy! Come heckle her in person, film and tag the drama so she can show her mom. Thursday 10/16 at 5pm. We talk the the pro-normie relationship and where it fits into the future of Gravel Cycling. See you there! Also Holy skipped last weekends grassroots race so she should actually be fired and cancelled.
