Gravel Kings

The holidays are upon us here in Thanksgiving week and the team catches up on all kinds of timely discussions. Strava has changed their API usage, which presents lots of challenges for seemingly every cycling app on the planet! There are changes at USACycling with a move for gravel nationals. This has been in Nebraska and they're moving to the Driftless region of Minnesota. We'll talk about what goes into the creation of an annual gravel calendar, plus lots more. * Per our conversation today, check out Ted's winter riding tips: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QmvOTbuviA [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0QmvOTbuviA] and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3S77LyTTRE [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g3S77LyTTRE]  * DC Rainmaker's opinion on the Strava debacle: https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/11/stravas-changes-to-kill-off-apps.html [https://www.dcrainmaker.com/2024/11/stravas-changes-to-kill-off-apps.html]  * Bond Almand's massive ride: https://open.spotify.com/episode/2d3rildu4mutWvhEwfvN8N?si=34f848aec70c450f&nd=1&dlsi=a4328ecbcca247ed [https://open.spotify.com/episode/2d3rildu4mutWvhEwfvN8N?si=34f848aec70c450f&nd=1&dlsi=a4328ecbcca247ed] * Follow us at @gravelkingspodcast [https://www.instagram.com/gravelkingspodcast] * Follow Ted at @iamtedking [https://www.instagram.com/iamtedking] * Follow Laura at @lauracameronking [https://www.instagram.com/lauracameronking] * Follow Stu at @ridingthefences [https://www.instagram.com/ridingthefences] * Send your questions to gravelkingspodcast@gmail.com [gravelkingspodcast@gmail.com] or DM to the instagram handle above.
