The rising popularity of riding gravel and back roads is catching the attention of more mainstream media types. Today we have a couple of links to share that will show you this gravel scene is getting noticed in a lot of places.
First up, we have the Dirty Kanza 200 promoter, Jim Cummins, who was recently host on the Ciclirati podcast featuring the DK 200. In the podcast Jim opines about the rising popularity of the gravel grinding scene. Click the link and give it a listen. The peice runs about 13 minutes in length.
Next we have a famous Iowa related artist. Brian Duffy has been penning cartoons for the pre-eminent paper in Iowa, The Des Moines Register for about as long as I can remember. In recent years, the award winning cartoonist found out about the joys of gravel. Check out his peice entitled "Vitamin G" here.
Finally, even the pro level cyclists are getting their "Vitamin G" in the Montepaschi Strada Bianche which was recently held in Italy. Cycling News has a great photo gallery of the event showing the pros shredding some pretty steep gravel descents.
