The UK Gravel Collective Cycling Podcast

Another outside broadcast, this time I go for a ride with local cyclist Verity, we chat about the challenges she faces being a vegan, cake (obvs),her goals and horse's eyelashes

Hannah Dobson, managing Editor of one of the UK (if not the worlds) premier cycling magazines and website, www.singletrackworld.com . We chat about how she came to be in charge of the content of an award winning bike publication, how she got into cycling, being female in the bike industry, the bike she'd ride if she couldn't ride any other (this may surprise you), her unusual riding clothing choices and how to attract more people to our favourite pastime.

Trying a new microphone out while riding, be prepared for wind noise, heavy breathing, snot, dogs doing disgusting things performance anxiety and Big Willy's. not sure I'm happy with the audio but I'm sure you'll let me know.

Alistair from Fustle Bikes and I chat about bike design, why the heck you'd start a bike company in a pandemic, just what and who exactly is the #fustlefamily and the ideas behind the Causeway Gravel bike, the Fustle Steel bike project and the future of independent bike brands. Steel bike series.. on youtube  Fustle website RideFustle

Long distance cycling where you have to take a tent or sleep under the stars, how do you prepare for such an event, what do you take, how do you prepare yourself. What happens in the middle of the night if the weather is against you?  Massive thanks to Tim and David for their insight to the trials, tribulations and what you need to do to survive a long distance bikepacking cycling event

Feel like you should ride that bike that's been gathering dust in the shed? Want to try cycling for the first time? Cycling veteran who can pass on your experience? All of you are welcome to the UK Gravel Collective Cycling Podcast. Ride to inspire and be inspired.  In this, the very first episode of the UKgravelCO Cycling podcast find out why, who and what it's all about. Listen to me waffle on for 15 minutes and hopefully what you hear will make you want to listen to the next episode and so on. I'm told 7 episodes is the minimum for a podcast to be a proper podcast, well this is number 1, you were here at the start, you are a pioneer!

Yes, I know, another podcast about cycling! Hopefully this one will resonate more with real riders, veterans of cycling and those that are thinking of riding a bike for the first time. It's certainly not going to be slick or professional! I've found though that I don't have time to sit and read a website or view youtube but I can listen while driving or in my lunch break at work so despite there actually being a website www.ukgravelco.com and a youtube channel ukgravelco youtube I hope to reach more people and further the goal of inspiring more people onto bicycles through chat, interviews and reviews. You can help inspire others too by bookmarking or following this podcast or any of the above and share it not just with other cyclists but non cyclists too. Anyway, I'm off for a ride, despite the fact it's raining, hopefully see/hear?? you on the next episode. cheers Gary
