Episode 217: Long Distance Gravel Racing on a Single Speed Bike

On the show today is Maggie Livelsberger. Maggie recently placed first in the single speed women’s category in the Gravel Worlds Long Voyage, which is a 300 mile gravel race. Maggie completed this event in just under 26 hours and placed third female overall in this distance! Earlier this year she decided to try out long distance endurance events on a single speed, researched and put together her perfect bike thanks to Knolly Bikes and has enjoyed it so much she is gearing up for a 487 mile race in October, the Arkansas High Country South Loop, which includes over 32,000 feet of climb! “For some, a bike becomes a bit of who we are, and a lens to view the world. After hours together - of a ride, a race, or a journey to somewhere far away, a bike changes to something new, something deeply loved and respected.” - Maggie www.ragbrai.com www.murphologypodcast.com
