General News: Getting under the skin of the onion
Posted By Gravel Union

The auto spell checking facility in most word processing software packages is very clever, but it’s surprising how often it thinks we are actually called “Gravel Onion”. We thought it was time to get under the skin of the onion and show you what makes us tick.
Over the winter we were doing a bit of planning for what we want to achieve with Gravel Union this year and as part of it, we tried to summarise what we think we’re all about:
“Run by a small but passionate team of gravel riders, we offer a well-crafted website featuring high-quality written content, enhanced with inspirational photos and videos. Our regularly updated website, which includes a comprehensive worldwide gravel events calendar, is complimented by dedicated social media channels.”
Self-analysis is never a very fun thing to do and creating an eloquent written summary of what we’re about felt like a bit of a struggle. We decided that by far the most important bit of our blurb is the “passionate team of gravel riders” so thought we would do a little exposé on who we are and what we do.
We wouldn’t be anything if it wasn’t for our top team of contributors. Liberally dotted all over the globe, they’re the Gravel Union eyes&ears into the gravel world. Some of them just create content for us very occasionally, some of them keep in our in-boxes filled up to the brim with fantastic ideas and tales of daring do!
