Welcome to gravel 2020! The King of Gravel, Ted King, is here to show you how to pack and prepare for your upcoming gravel event.
Sure, there are likely gravel events right down the road from you. There are also a whole bunch of showcase events all around the country that will take more than just a quick road trip to attend. Ted's experience over the past five years will save you time and reduce your pre-event headache as you pack and prepare for your upcoming gravel adventure.
With a child on the way, Ted has always appreciated efficiency, but is about to get schooled in it. With a very busy year ahead, he's seeking that efficiency with an early start to the season at the Oklahoma Gravel Growler in Shawnee, Oklahoma. Featuring a trip across the country, a birthday celebration or two, this video also includes tips on seeking out the best coffee shop or restaurant, how to make your own coffee and pre-race breakfast, and much much more.
With his videographer good friend Ansel Dickey of Vermont Social on board, this Vermont duo travels from home in the northeast to Oklahoma to kick the season into gear.
