The Gravel Cartel - getting people into flannel and onto gravel in SE QLD
The Gravel Cycling Australia Podcast
03/16/23 • 62 min
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.
