Summary

Bobby Wintle is the owner, operator, and chief mastermind behind the Land Run 100. A Kansas native, Bobby wasn't part of cycling nor retail when he decided to move to a new state and open a bike shop. Bold. Now operating District Bicycles, a stunning shop in Stillwater, Oklahoma, he juggles District and Land Run amid a life full of family, fun, and gravel riding. Bobby and Ted tried to find time to chat at Land Run itself, but time was fleeting so the two of them caught up for this podcast over the phone, a first for King of the Ride, exploring the community Bobby has built. This episode is presented by iKOR. iKOR is a clean, natural source of recovery-enhancing hemp extract.

0:00.0	Hello, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls, welcome back to another episode of King of the Ride podcast, episode number 30.
0:11.8	Folks, that's a milestone. Thanks for listening along and being part of this ride. I am Ted King. I'm your host today and always.
0:19.2	Although, this is something of a fun one. Let's set the
0:23.1	scene. Last month, I was out at Land Run 100. That's where we recorded the previous episode
0:28.4	with Dirty Canza Promotions co-owner, Christy Moan. This was my first land run, and it was a hoot.
0:35.9	More to the point. Bobby Wintel is our guest on today's show.
0:39.3	Bobby Wintel is the creator of Land Run 100, which is a race that has been pinging on my
0:44.7	radar, one heck of a lot in the past 18 months.
0:48.4	And I think as of this year, it might be taking the title of the second biggest
0:51.6	gravel race that exists.
0:53.2	I welcome your feedback,
0:58.8	if that is incorrect, but we're going to go with it for now. More impressively is the speed with which Bobby has built this event. Now, please ignore the jumping round of dates as I grill
1:03.4	Bobby about the order of operations as he's built Landrun. Just visit landrun.com, and you'll get
1:10.0	all those important details.
1:11.5	Bobby's story is fascinating.
1:13.3	Now look, he wasn't raised with bikes.
1:16.2	He wasn't even part of retail.
1:18.8	He was just a kid trying to be a rock star, literally.
1:22.2	And maybe it's those cues in marketing, his band, that allowed him to build this empire in Oklahoma,
1:26.9	that is land run
1:27.8	and his absolutely stunning bike shop district bicycles. If you want stories, Bobby has stories.
1:35.8	And to that point, between the two of us, we didn't know who was going to actually be interviewing
