How To Pack and Prepare for a Gravel Race with Ted King at the Oklahoma Gravel Growler.

[@r0bv123]

Awesome video, grats on the win and happy bday dude!

[@aldentevelo3916]

Thanks! Are you checking out the True Grit gravel race in Utah?

[@mjmchase1]

Ansel, while I really enjoyed last years video’s I liked this one even better. It is interesting to see the evolution of your editing, looking forward to seeing what you put together this year.

[@brody5211]

What’s the orange bike I keep seeing you use ? Is it the superx force 1 ?

[@osint6372]

Which Bike bag case are you using?....Thanks

[@fysh1945]

You are one down to earth dude, Ted. Thanks for helping grow gravel.

[@Voodoochile65]

Loved the video...Shawnee was my second gravel ride at 54 yo..You were probably on a plane by the time I finished lol but I'm still inspired. Heading to Stillwater in a few weeks to get my hug from Bobby .

[@TedKing1]

Congrats Herb! You're going to have a blast.

[@garrettlandon]

"All I want to do is ride my bike and drink beer." Do you really need anything else?

[@TedKing1]

Yes. KZbin videos :)

[@ovrlnd]

Mr Tedly King Lee!!!!!!

[@lauraking1437]

"When he turns 40, we're all going to Cabo!". I won't forget that, Bobby Wintle!

[@markouellette788]

Bike suitcase? What brand is that?

[@lauraking7754]

ShokBox

[@josephdickerson9902]

We rent a van (my wife and I, no kids) every time we have to get a rental car. They are the best thing ever when traveling with bikes.

[@KuriosPC]

7:14 That guy was like "Damn, I should have worn civilian clothes".

[@geraldeder2815]

Hi, what type of bike case do you use?

[@TedKing1]

That one is a ShokBox. It's outstanding.

[@Yrogerg1089]

0:09 Seconds in and Ted is grabbin' a beer. The man has his priorities straight!

[@vedhed21]

100% would have unfollowed otherwise.

[@JasonScottCarter]

Same here Ted, ride bikes and drink beer sounds like a good life for me.

[@brycerink]

Thanks for the hot tips! Congrats on the win and on baby king!

[@HeavenlyDivine]

Need to give your video production team a raise! The quality of these videos is outstanding and has come such a long way from what the channel has looked like over a year ago. Bravo for their hard work and capturing the moment!

[@RoxyBomber]

A great comprehensive list, I'm adding the mouth cover/buff to my list for the dryer races thanks to this video. A couple things I've added to my pack list, pickle juice (I add extra salt) because I'm prone to cramping at the 4-hour mark. Sunscreen (small amount on the bike), Recovery protein shake for immediately post-ride (sometimes the food line is long, occasionally events run out of food) and I like to slam some protein immediately post-race.

[@KuriosPC]

Its sad how there are "big names" in an event that the world doesn't care about.

[@eveanddell]

When this social distancing thing is over I'm headed down to Stillwater to get a hug from Bobby.

[@timothytopor4362]

This footage is top notch thanks for the effort and quality this channel will grow and grow once the word is out! I will try to spread :)

[@robertlauber9021]

Ragin' content; thanks for all the gravel inspiration, Mr. King.

[@chuto4826]

Congrats for your birthday and for win the race too

[@tepperpepper1047]

.... so who else is excited for Cabo?

[@RomyIlano]

thanks for helping out noobs!

[@dhflies]

It would be awesome to see you at Iron Bull Red Granite Grinder 2020. A great ride by fun folks doing good things for the Wausau community. 2020 is the second year of the ride. It is as fresh as it gets! Check it out.

[@TedKing1]

Thanks David. I host a charity ride every year and we'll be at the tenth annual www.KingChallenge.org that day. Want to come to Vermont?!

[@dhflies]

@@TedKing1 Wow! What a wonderful thing to do. Brain injuries are so underrepresented in our discussions about healthcare and therefore very misunderstood. My sister and I both deal with health issues related to TBI's. I am registered for the Red Granite Grinder 2020 but see I can support your ride by being a "Virtual Rider". I will do that this year and put your ride on my 2021 ride list. L8R

[@bennetthasty7886]

Happy belated birthday 🎁

[@broderickmcdonald4416]

Noticed the toothbrush model was left out of the notes 👀

[@TedKing1]

That was a CVS special. I think $0.99. She's a real beaut!

[@mischifer1]

1:54 I say this tip aged well

[@mariuscpeter]

Cool video. I mean, I'm almost 40, I do road bike for fun but I'm very serious because I noticed it improved my health in many ways but I have that guilty pleasure after a ride: the f..... beeeeeer!!!!!! Keep these cool videos coming. I'm sick of training, nutrition, ftp, vo2, aero stuff, I want to see the fun part of cycling. BTW: any change of gravel races close to Indiana?

[@obikedog]

Protect ya' neck!

[@miamatti]

Wholesome video Ted!

[@scottcottontx]

The stainless steel aeropress filters work great for me.

[@fernpeck]

Scott Cotton it tastes very different

[@TedKing1]

@@fernpeck I agree. I don't know what the paper adds, but I like the paper filters better.

[@scottcottontx]

@@TedKing1 True, but for me it doesn't taste different enough to justify dragging a stack of paper filters around the country with me. And once I ran out of paper filters, I was too lazy to buy new ones. My laziness has served me well throughout most of my life, I've learned to trust it.

[@toddeyster7557]

Really enjoyed the video. I will be in Stillwater in a couple weeks for the Mid S 50. Looking forward to my 2nd race, I did the DK50 a couple years ago.

[@brycezoeller]

I got my minivan reserved for DK...should I train too, or is the minivan enough to ensure my success? :D Cool content bro.

[@joshuawiens1344]

Man I wish I would’ve known about this race at the time. Will be there 2021 if it happens!

[@Steelrailbearing]

The production work is always outstanding, I can't imagine the effort editing this, and the frustration of wondering what to cut, and what to show. The opening scene is brilliant, complete with collapsing on the bed in the final frame. Anybody who travels long distances to events can relate to this. Congrats on the race too, it's encouraging to have an accomplished, (and most eloquent) local rider representing our sport. Great job all around!

[@AdreHoniball]

What a great video. in south african style, ek wens ek was daar..(meaning, i wish i was there), love bear and racing bikes.

[@veritas7dk]

Nice🤙😎

[@GeekonaBike]

Style Points for the 'Ham Burgler' kit, all it need are some black Oakleys

[@kimdon1066]

Great video. What gravel racing is all about. Fun, friends, and beer.

[@davidgrimesau]

Ted, what bike box do you use in the video or recommend - don’t recognise it? Thx

[@brody5211]

Get back on that slate lad 💪

[@carlostorres-rivera7200]

I love how in gravel you can have a social and smash a bunch of beers and still win the day after.

[@jamesroberts9673]

Ooh, an invite to Ted Kings 40th birthday, awesome 😸

[@pedalingpastor5661]

Happy Birthday to the King! Solid tips! Peace.

[@stinkerseb595]

Woooo what happened to the production turn it up to 11!! Next level stuff love it!

[@AmsterDanTheAmerican]

What saddle bag do you use? Great vid & HBD! .

[@YellowfinCoachMatt]

Why does ted consistently choose the superx over the top stone??

[@RicardoRocha-lg1xo]

hey Ted... where did the jacket and vest go? I didn´t see them in your back pockets at the end of the race.

[@TedKing1]

Dropped excess goods at the mid-race bag drop.

[@scottamy404]

It's good to be the King.

[@valiantabello]

Happy birthday 🎉🎈🎂

[@donaldryder5534]

This made me happy.

[@Ew-pc5pk]

That will do it

[@sethmelton9856]

what kind of bandana you rocking for neck protection?

[@TedKing1]

Gotta check the show notes! SRAM's finest.

[@losusmil]

1. Amazon is the devil, so good on you. 2. Every time I watch a video like this I get pumped about going to do these events and support them, but then I look at my bank account and realize that I can barely afford to pay for the events that are local :-/.

[@henriqueximenes8344]

is there a cannabis plant at your neck protection? love it

[@TedKing1]

Ahh, no. There's a sweet bandana though.

[@TedKing1]

Ha, I just looked at that section of the video again. It's a funny looking cactus. Maybe an aloe plant?

[@henriqueximenes8344]

@@TedKing1hahahaha yeah, at first I thought it was weed. Would've been nice to see some stoner pro cyclists, but I guess UCI doesn't even allow it, right?! hahaha Cheers mate
