Hello and welcome back to another King of the Ride podcast.

And welcome into the world, Hayden Edward King.

Our son was born just three days ago.

Mama and baby, older sister Hazel, and of course yours truly.

We are all happy and healthy.

Just as soon as he's a talker, we're going to have Hayden on the podcast and ask him how his birthday went.

I'm sure it was a riveting tale.

Kidding.

Kidding.

Although, truth be told, coincidentally, the morning this podcast conversation was recorded was the evening which Hayden came into the world.

So already we're off to a great start, both with Little Baby Boy and this podcast.

With this podcast, we are now 91% of the way to our 100th episode, which you've probably just deduced, is to say this is episode number 91, the Unbound Edition.

Now, I might not have been there in Kansas on account of waiting for Hayden to come into the

world. I was back home in Vermont, but back by popular demand, we have returning guest

Roger Brown. My friend, my neighbor, my business partner at Unttapped. Look, if that name doesn't ring a bell,

which I accept, zoom on back to episode number 75 and listen to post-race breakdown from his first

foray into Unbound and gravel racing in general for that matter. Now at that time, I asserted that Roger went into

the Unbound 2021 with the least amount of training of anyone on course. And while that might not be

an actual ambition of his to outdo himself in that regard, I think that he's done just that by

training even less going into this year's 2022 event.

And despite that superlative, Roger represents me. He represents you.

Roger is, quite frankly, he's a little bit of everybody out on course.
