    In this deeply personal and emotionally charged episode, recorded inside Merchant Cycles in Emporia, Kansas just before Unbound 2025, host John Peter sits down with Bobby Wintle—race director of the legendary Mid-South gravel race—for a raw and reflective conversation.

    Bobby opens up about his life before gravel as a passionate musician, and how that creative energy helped shape the welcoming, inclusive spirit of Mid-South. Together, the two discuss the emotional highs and crushing lows of putting on massive events, including the heartbreak and mental spiral following the wildfire-forced cancellation of Mid-South earlier this year. This is an intimate exchange between two high-energy, heart-forward people—offering a rare look behind the curtain of what it means to love, build, and carry a community through gravel cycling.

    May 26 2025

    What happens when a pro cyclist walks away at the top? Ian Boswell joins us for a deep and honest conversation about his years with Team Sky and Katusha, the toll of concussions, and the identity crisis that followed his Unbound Gravel win. In this vulnerable episode, Ian opens up about leaving WorldTour racing, redefining success off the podium, and why he's now focused on the beauty happening behind the front of the race.

    Ian shares how he's using his platform to help the sport grow. This conversation wraps up our Month of May and the Gravel Gospel series in the most powerful way possible.

  • Logan Kasper on Unbound XL, FKTs, and the Truth About Winning | The Stable Cyclist Podcast
    May 23 2025

    In this episode of The Stable Cyclist Podcast, ultra-endurance legend Logan Kasper reflects on the highs, lows, and honest truths of his racing career. From winning Unbound XL to setting the Eastern Divide FKT, Logan has carved out a reputation as one of gravel’s most driven and underrated riders.

    But what happens after a win at one of the sport’s most grueling events? Logan shares why winning Unbound XL didn’t actually change his life, and how his runner-up finish the next year felt like the perfect closing chapter. We also dive into the mindset behind ultra-distance riding, what defines success, and what is the best gas station food.
