behind the scenes at VALLEY OF TEARS gravel race

About this episode

The episode covers the host's experiences and activities at the Valley of Tears gravel race in Turkey, TX.

I was at Valley of Tears gravel race in Turkey, TX and I got high-key activated! I don't really know what I was doing there to be honest...vibe checks, instagram story coverage, gravel dad mogging, dirt crit alt-stream analysis, camping with my friend, drinking lonestar beer...a bit of everything. All the instagram stories and some reels are up on my instagram page but listen to this episode to hear the answers to questions like: -which privateer did I get to shotgun a La Croix? -which PAS racer was sharing a house with Lunchbox racing? -who flatted out early and had to get ride with us back into town? -why can't we say "enve mog squad"? -what was it like bantering with sofia? -why is my bartape digital snow camo? -will you use code "HSOGSEAL" for 15% off Stans products ?
