Episode 116: Long Distance Gravel Racing on a Single Speed Bike

On the show meet Maggie. Maggie is a long distance endurance cyclist who recently placed first in the single speed women’s category in the Gravel Worlds Long Voyage, which is a 300 mile gravel race. Maggie completed this event in just under 26 hours and placed third female overall in this distance! Earlier this year she decided she wanted to try out long distance endurance events on a single speed, so she researched and put together her perfect bike thanks to Knolly Bikes and has enjoyed it so much she is gearing up for a 487 mile race in October, the Arkansas High Country South Loop, which includes over 32,000 feet of climb! A quote from Maggie: “For some, a bike becomes a bit of who we are, and a lens to view the world. After hours together- of a ride, a race, or a journey to somewhere far away, a bike changes to something new, something deeply loved and respected.” www.murphologypodcast.com https://linktr.ee/Murphology A few great deals to send your way: www.hammerhead.io Use code Murphology to get a free heart rate monitor with your Karoo 2. www.lilytrotters.com Use code MURPHOLOGY to get 20% off your purchase of thee best compression socks! www.primalwear.com Use code PRIMALMURPH for 20% off your Primal cycling gear.
