Fresh from the editing studio is Episode 3 of the Gravel Union Talks podcast series. 

In this episode it’s all about winter gravel. We’ve got a special guest all the way from Finnish Lapland, Henna Palosaari. Henna is part of the Shimano Gravel Alliance team and lives in Finland, three hours north of the Arctic Circle, so she's pretty expert at dealing with cold, dark and snow. She’s going to be giving us her top tips for making the most out of winter.

In our "Elevator Pitch" slot in this episode is Stu Thomson, co-founder of the Dukes Weekender gravel extravaganza. Stu gives us the background on the event, waxes lyrical about the gravel riding in Aberfoly (where the event is held) and generally does his best to make us want to go and ride gravel bikes in Scotland.

Our next episode, which will be published at the end of this month, is all about gravel tech. We will be joined by Sander Kuik, Shimano Europe Product Director as our guest on the show. We’re going to discuss all the different types of gravel riding and how gravel bikes can be adapted for each.
