Summary

Congratulations to Emma Langley, the winner of the 2021 Rooted Vermont p/b UnTapped! Not a bad result for her third ever gravel race. She's picking the big ones as her team, Tibco-SVB, has seen her line up at Unbound, BWR, and now Rooted Vermont this year. We're thrilled to have hosted Emma and her teammates, plus ALL riders at the 2021 race. Emma shares her perspective on the state of cycling. This neo-pro has a refreshing view of things as pro road racing comes out of a bit of a funk and now can dabble in some off-road events. You can find and follow Emma on Instagram at @elangs1

0:00.0	Hey, hey, happy middle of summer. I am Ted King. I'm your host on King of the Ride podcast.
0:11.1	Holy guacamole, time is flying by. Here we are one week into August. It feels like summer just started.
0:18.5	Laura and I are headed to the family leadboat challenge this coming

0:52.7	Speaking of getting out and about,
0:57.6	last weekend was Rooted Vermont, which is appropriate for this episode in which I'm very excited to talk with Emma Langley, winner of the 2021 Rooted Vermont,
1:05.5	presented by untapped sip of sunshine long course.
1:10.7	Emma is a NeoPro, the TIBCO Pro Cycling Team,
1:14.9	and so not only do I want to pick her brain on being the winner of this year's event,
1:20.7	I'm really curious about her take on the entire state of cycling.
1:24.4	Here we have the perspective of a fresh-faced, 25-year-old Neo-Pro. She's been dabbling in the biggest
1:30.4	gravel races across the country from Unbound to BWR, and now I will selfishly put Rood to Vermont in that
1:37.6	category, as she's done three gravel events this year. Meanwhile, she's on America's biggest
