Now might be the best time in the past couple of years to give something new a shot. This is a message for myself as much as it is for anyone else. The popularity of gravel racing and riding is on the rise and the industry is pushing people to explore and test the limits of their equipment. In this episode we offer an intro course into the who, what, where, when, and how of gravel taught by two of the best in the game- Amanda Naumann, 2x Dirty Kanza winner and Adam Mills of Source Endurance the promoter of the Belgian Waffle Ride Survival Camp.

Some high quality spreadsheet artistry from Colin Reuter, lead developer BikeReg.com showing the breakdown of gravel registrants and the differences across the disciplines. All data is based on events that use BikeReg and is nationwide. So yes, this includes MidSouth but no it does not in DK.
