Hello and welcome back. I am Ted King, your host, most of the time, the vast majority of the time,

but today I'm going to serve as your guest.

Your hosts on today's episode are my wife, Laura King, and our good friend Stu Streeter.

You see, we are three friends with

radically different cycling backgrounds, talking about what matters to you in the cycling world.

So our introduction goes. The three of us are hosts on another podcast, Gravel Kings.

We launched that just a few months ago, so please punch in those words to your favorite podcast app,

Gravel Kings, hit subscribe, hit the like button, hit the play button, add it to your podcast lineup.

We would appreciate it.

Now, the three of us recorded this conversation that you're about to hear, picking apart

every aspect of my recent victory at race around Rwanda and hosted it

over on Gravel Kings. But it covers a lot of what I think you're going to dig here on this podcast.

So voila, I've cross-pollinated it over here. This is, of course, the 620 mile,000 kilometers, 60,000 feet

of climbing, bikepacking race all around the country of Rwanda,

smack in the middle of Africa, a wild adventure in an absolute trip of a lifetime.

Additionally, if you enjoy this podcast, if you enjoyed this conversation, if you enjoy my videos,

I've launched my video recap from the race.

It helps not just tell the story, but it paints a picture of the trip over there, the highs and lows of the race itself, loads of scenes from my ride all throughout Rwanda. You will find a link to that in the show notes. That's about it. But one more thing, followed by another thing, followed by the conversation.

One thing you will notice if you watch these videos is that I have two water bottles on my bike.

They are the Untapped branded Ted King's signature bottles. These bottles can be yours for free.
