Jordan sits down with skilled gravel race extraordinaire Alexey Vermeulen and Pearl Izumi product line supervisor Lani Benson. They unpack how gravel gear (particularly package and outerwear) has developed together with the game’s development. However that’s simply the tip of the iceberg. Hear Right here!
Welcome to Episode 109!
It’s not all gear and geeking out. Nonetheless, the dialog strikes into the “actual which means” of gravel. Why would somebody topic themselves to a grueling (but enjoyable) 10-hour day on the bike?
Importantly, how that day on the bike may not vibe with the obvious gear alternative. For instance, the tremendous light-weight, stiff-soled gear the professionals are racing may not be one of the best for you.
The group discusses their favourite items of gravel (and all-around package) from the latest Pearl Izumi choices, in addition to Alexey’s enduring love for the Attak Barrier jacket.
Will Pearl Izumi probably return to greater footwear? Their latest providing, the Expedition Professional sneakers, seems to be promising, however they want that additional push, and that may very well be on the best way.
Lastly, it wouldn’t be a podcast with Alexey if we didn’t focus on the canine within the room: Willie. We focus on how he grew to become so comfy on the bike and the way Willie trains.
What’s the longest journey Willie does? Hear to seek out out!
