Gravel Worlds test: HED mullet, Canyon hydration, new S-Phyre shoes, Ventum GS1 & more!

Gravel Worlds in Lincoln, Nebraska served up a healthy and variety dose of gravel race conditions to test a variety of things, including: -HED Stillwater 50 and Lancaster 25 wheels -Schwalbe G-ONE RS and RX tires -TyreWiz -Ventum GS1 Force XPLR -Canyon/Millet hydration pack -Apidura aero race bags I also for the new time used Shimano's new S-Phyre gravel shoes with pontoon cleats. Shimano sponsors me with shoes and glasses; see list of other sponsors below. I did the 75-mile event: -so I could get the pro winners' bike https://youtu.be/C3w6tlnpFFc -because 75 miles is plenty! I got 4th overall and 1st in the 40+, and enjoyed riding with people from all over. -- Want to see what I'm testing and where?
