Gravel riding is booming, with more riders taking to drop-bar, knobbly-tyred bikes than ever \u2013 but what\u2019s next for the burgeoning gravel scene?<\/p>\n

Welcome back for another mini-series on the BikeRadar Podcast, this time discussing the future of gravel.<\/p>\n

It wouldn\u2019t be BikeRadar if we didn\u2019t chat about shiny tech developments in the off-road world but, over the course of four episodes, we\u2019re also going to explore how gravel riding<\/a> and gravel racing<\/a> are evolving, as well as the role of new off-road communities.<\/p>\n

But first, it\u2019s time to set the scene. Why is gravel booming and how did we get here?<\/p>\n

Our host for the series, gravel aficionado Katherine Moore<\/a>, is joined for episode one by BikeRadar\u2019s deputy editor, Jack Luke<\/a>, and Ben Delaney<\/a>, one of the pioneers of the US gravel scene, to discuss the\u00a0genesis of gravel and take a look into the BikeRadar crystal ball.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Subscribe to the BikeRadar Podcast<\/h2>\n<p>Make sure you subscribe to the <a href=\""https:\/\/www.bikeradar.com\/bikeradar-podcast\/"\">BikeRadar Podcast<\/a> via <a href=\""https:\/\/podcasts.apple.com\/gb\/podcast\/the-bikeradar-podcast\/id1461106709"\">Apple Podcasts<\/a>, <a href=\""https:\/\/open.spotify.com\/show\/6aLvE13Bge7WC7AWbiR3LS"\">Spotify<\/a> or your chosen podcast provider, so you don\u2019t miss an episode.<\/p>\n<p>The BikeRadar Podcast takes you to the heart of the issues that matter, whether you\u2019re a roadie, mountain biker, gravel rider or commuter.<\/p>\n<p>From the latest tech news, reviews and debates, to interviews with the biggest personalities in cycling, the podcast is your direct line into the BikeRadar team.<\/p>\n<p><iframe style=\""border-radius:\" src=\""https:\/\/bikeradar.podlink.to\/Podcast?embed=true"\" width=\""480"\" height=\""900"\" frameborder=\""0"\"\/><\/p> <\/body><\/html>\n<hr class=\"no-tts wp-block-separator\"\/>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p> Jack Luke and Ben Delaney join Katherine Moore for episode one of our new podcast series <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":24,"featured_media":50600,"template":"","categories":[1],"acf":{"readingTimeMinutes":"2"},"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2023\/06\/the-future-of-gravel-riding-episode-one-why-gravel-is-booming-and-whats-next.jpg",1600,1067,false],"thumbnail":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2023\/06\/the-future-of-gravel-riding-episode-one-why-gravel-is-booming-and-whats-next-150x150.jpg",150,150,true],"medium":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2023\/06\/the-future-of-gravel-riding-episode-one-why-gravel-is-booming-and-whats-next-300x200.jpg",300,200,true],"medium_large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2023\/06\/the-future-of-gravel-riding-episode-one-why-gravel-is-booming-and-whats-next-768x512.jpg",768,512,true],"large":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2023\/06\/the-future-of-gravel-riding-episode-one-why-gravel-is-booming-and-whats-next-1024x683.jpg",800,534,true],"1536x1536":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2023\/06\/the-future-of-gravel-riding-episode-one-why-gravel-is-booming-and-whats-next-1536x1024.jpg",1536,1024,true],"2048x2048":["https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/uploads\/sites\/43\/2023\/06\/the-future-of-gravel-riding-episode-one-why-gravel-is-booming-and-whats-next.jpg",1600,1067,false]},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"importmanagerhub@sprylab.com","author_link":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/author\/importmanagerhubsprylab-com\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":"Jack Luke and Ben Delaney join Katherine Moore for episode one of our new podcast series","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed\/50599"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/rss_feed"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/rss_feed"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/24"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/50600"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=50599"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/c01.purpledshub.com\/cyclingplus\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=50599"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
