Episode 16 From Temecula to Ukiah: Gravel & Wine and Low Gap Hopper Kick Off 2026

Episode 16 — Service Course Report Gravel season is officially open. Ed Philbrick and Kurt Stockton recap two big January weekends: Gravel & Wine (Temecula) and the Low Gap Grasshopper (Ukiah). From high-speed sandy corners and graded roads to a climb-heavy NorCal route that still ended in a field sprint, this one is packed with early-season observations: tire choices, pacing, predictability vs. “light setups,” and what January legs really feel like. They also talk pro gravel momentum—Rattle Gravel and Romain Bardet showing up ready to race, plus why Unbound is less about endurance and more about dialing setup + nutrition when there’s no team car to bail you out. Positive Pete: a standout junior mentoring program at Low Gap and why investing in young riders is the best long-term play in the sport. Also inside: early road-season chaos (AlUla + Tour Down Under highlights) and a look ahead to Cyclocross Worlds—because watching Mathieu van der Poel never gets old. 👉 Subscribe for full episodes + shorts 🎧 Listen on Spotify + Apple Podcasts #realtoronbike
