Be The Hero In Your Own Cycling Journey With Mikel Delagrange

Most of us ride for similar reasons — a bit of headspace, a challenge, maybe to see how far we can push ourselves. But what happens when you take that same idea… and drop it into the middle of Kenya? Today’s guest is Michael Delagrange, founder of Project AMANI and the Migration Gravel Race — one of the most unique events in cycling right now. We talk about what gravel looks like outside Europe and the US, how racing changes when the stakes are different, and why community matters more than watts. It also turns into a conversation about how we see ourselves — on and off the bike — and why, as he puts it, we’re all just trying to be the hero in our own story. If you ride, race, or just love being on the bike, you'll love this. ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Parlee Cycles ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ "Whether it's a tough day, a gruelling training session, an epic road trip or sitting on the side of the road, exhausted and wondering how you'll get to the top...
