This is one of the first few episodes of the brand new Mountain Bike Radio (at the time it was "Mountain Bike Race Minute"....that name didn't stay long...).
"This is perfect training for the Dirty Kanza."
In this episode, friend of MBR, Shane DeMars, discusses his experience in the first annual AntiEpic Gravel Grinder near Monument, Colorado. The ride takes place on some unique Colorado terrain. Rather than the usual mountain rides that many Coloradans are accustomed to, it is miles and miles of wide open and rolling terrain filled with great gravel roads.
If you are considering doing this ride or any of the rides listed on Riding Gravel, be sure to listen in to find out about the terrain, his strategy, thoughts, equipment and more.
