With an incredibly varied career and many strings to her bow, Lee Craigie is pretty much impossible to pigeonhole. In our latest episode of Gravel Union Talks, we chat to her about everything from pushing her limits in bikepacking races, to cargo bike riding in the middle of winter to the launch of her new book. 

If you'd like to get yourself a copy of Lee's new book, Other Ways To Win, you can find it here.

In this episode we talk about these recent stories:

• The Gear - Altangle Connect

  • Sometimes you see a new product launched into the world of gravel riding and your brain instantly comes up with two thoughts a) Ooooh that’s super clever and b) I wonder why no one has thought of it before? Altangle’s new Hanger Connect portable workstand fits precisely into that category. 

• Armchair Adventure - #grannygravelling

  • Are you ever too old to try out gravel riding for the first time? How tough is too tough? What time is too early to stop for coffee and cake? When your 76 year old mother-in-law decides that her perfect birthday present would be a couple of days of riding in an area chock-full of great gravel trails, it would be rude not to include some in the route, wouldn’t it? Olly sets off to discover whether #grannygravelling is a thing.

• Gravel Inspiration - Bikes Bees and Trees Rally

  • “Adrenaline and purity of purpose are addictive bedfellows when escaping our everyday responsibilities, but I found equal satisfaction in a weekend of volunteering and social riding”, so writes Ed Wolstenholme in his piece about literally putting something back into the gravel riding world. Ed travelled north with the Bikes, Bees and Trees Rally earlier this year and sent in this thought-provoking story.
