A Gathering of Friends with Crystal Wintle (Episode 248)

On this week’s episode Kathryn and Kristi are joined by co-founder of the Mid South Gravel Crystal Wintle. After getting a taste of gravel while attending Emporia State University, Crystal moved to Stillwater, Oklahoma and started a bike shop with her husband. That same year they started the Mid South Gravel race, and what began as a gathering of a few of their friends has grown into one of the best-known gravel races in the US. Crystal talks about the factors that drove their decision to start the event, and how leading with love has kept the feeling of belonging alive for participants as the race continues to grow.Follow The Mid South on Instagram @midsouthgravel.Follow us on Instagram:@feistycycling@feisty_mediaGirls Gone Gravel Website:https://www.girlsgonegravel.com/Support our Partners:Register for Feisty Fest at https://feisty.co/events/Wahoo: Learn about the ELEMNT ROAM 3 at https://bit.ly/4tk2j23Visit PillarPerformance.shop, or for North American customers, head to TheFeed.com and use the code FEISTY for 15% off your first purchase.
