Episode 10: Midseason break, Dive into Tour Divide, Lots of Listener Questions

After Unbound, the first weekend of June, it's inevitable that riders will take even just a bit of a break. Laura and Ted kept on the gas for a few more weeks before making their way to Maine for a week full of patriotic RnR. Stu continues on the mend, although with a considerable setback en route.
The Tour Divide is over for some but plenty remain on the route. We talk about the granddaddy of bikepacking races, the Tour Divide. 
The gang talk about their dreamy summer ride. What's the very best of the best during these sunny summer months.
What's the biggest meal we've eaten after a huge ride. Or what we prefer for optimal recovery... and best taste. 
Naturally, plus lots more!

Episode 9: UCI Gravel Racing, A Visit to the PNW, An Ode to Fathers

With Stu's collarbone on the mend and the Kings tackling events on either side of North America, there's lots to chew on. Did you know the UCI requires no more than 10 intersections in their gravel races? Or something like that, we'll try to get to the bottom of whether the UCI is making for safe racing or just chasing entry fees.
