Welcome to King of the Ride podcast host hosted by yours truly, Ted King. A former World Tour cyclist, I competed at the world's highest level of the sport for a decade, retiring from conventional road racing in 2015. Returning home to the USA I was unexpectedly swept up by the then fledgeling and now burgeoning gravel scene. I've taken the top step at Dirty Kanza twice and have finished on the podium in virtually every "big" gravel race out there, but more than anything it's been the gravel community that has struck a chord with me. The community is alive and I freaking love it! I a co-founded UnTapped, the maple syrup based sports nutrition company. I work with the sport's best brands, I lead rides, host camps, dabble in gravel, and just love life on two wheels. I now have the chance to chat with athletes, entrepreneurs, and all walks-of-life who love the bicycle. Hop on board and please enjoy the ride!
