    This week on the Pod we sit down with Aussie Gravel cycling megastar Brendan Trekky Johnston. Trekky has been busy taking it to the world in the Lifetime Grand Prix and he shares with us his experiences racing some of the world's biggest gravel races in the US, including a recap of his recent 15th place in Unbound gravel. We caught up on the eve of the Australian Gravel Cycling Championships, where Trekky has just taken out the title!

    We’re back for another bike review! This time its the brand new (to Australia and the US) Superior X-Road Team Comp GR.

    CHECK OUT THE BIKE!

    Superior is a Czech brand that has been making bicycles since 1989, with elite XC mountain bike teams competing at the highest level of the sport in Europe. Now, Bikes Online are bringing the brand to Australia and the USA and this X-Road GR is their gravel offering.

    In reality - its an endurance road bike with clearance for 40mm tyres and as such is at home on a mix of road and fast gravel surfaces. In this Episode, Tristan finds out how it performs on the gravel of Beechworth and in the urban Melbourne environment and discovers whether this is a bike worthy of your hard earned.

    NB: Bikes Online have provided this bike for review. I have it for a few months and aim to deliver a long-term verdict in the future. The opinions I provide in this review are my own honest opinions and Bikes Online will see this video for the first time at the same time you do.

    This week on the Pod we chat with Kent and Michelle from the Gravel Cartel about their exciting work in building the gravel community and event scene in SE QLD.

    A lot of you have reached out to me to share your gravel stories, and not surprisingly, a lot of you are really passionate about the places you ride. One of the things that keeps coming up is the QLD gravel scene.

    I haven’t had the chance to check out the QLD gravel, so I thought I better reach out to some experts from the Gravel Cartel, who are doing some really exciting things in building the gravel community in and around the Sunshine Coast.

    On Sunday the 26th of Feb, I had the pleasure to head down to Forrest in Victoria's Otway Ranges to race the Great Otway Gravel Grind.

    I had a great day out on the bike and met some fantastic people - I managed to capture some of those chats and cut them together to try and bring you a bit of the flavour of the big day.

    Thanks to Rapid Ascent for putting on a great event, and to all those who gave up their time to chat with me! Enjoy!

    This week on the Pod we sit down for a fairly wide ranging chat with Gravel community stalwart James Wilson.

    James is a long-time cyclist who got into the gravel scene earlier than most. He’s based up on the central coast in NSW, but has ridden bikes all over the country. He founded Graveleur and is now running The Overlander - a specialty gravel-focussed bike shop in Wyong. He’s also an ambassador for Rapha Australia, Klite Dynamo power lighting and skingrowsback performance bike carry equipment. Most importantly, he has a passion for the gravel community and gravel cycling culture.

    For more information on The Overlander - https://www.theoverlander.cc/
