Ultra Distance Scholarship with Alison & Taylor and Wild Wales
Manage episode 362602068 series 3473612
Gravel Union Talks is a podcast series full of inspiring stories, news and events from the world of gravel biking. Each month hosts Carlo and Olly will be chatting with guests who are passionate about riding off the beaten track… adventure riding, bike packing and gravel racing.
In this episode it’s all about making gravel riding more inclusive and welcoming to people who have typically felt excluded. We’ve got two special guests joining us in this episode - Alison Wood and Taylor Doyle, who are two of the founders of the Ultra Distance Scholarship - a scheme which they helped set up back in 2020 to support new riders from under-represented backgrounds who wanted to try ultra-distance riding.
Guests:
- Alison Wood and Taylor Doyle, founders of the Ultra Distance Scholarship
- Jon Heard from the Wild Wales Gravel Campout
- Gravel Union Talks podcast with hosts Carlo van Nistelrooy and Olly Townsend.
- GU’s editor-in-chief Olly on last month’s most popular articles on the Gravel Union platform.

Tour Divide 2022 - the preview
