DIYgravel Belgian Waffle Ride: 140 Miles Vermont to Canada Featuring Laura King
Спорт
It's round two of the DIYgravel series, this one is Belgian Waffle Ride! May 3, 2020 marks the original BWR in sunny San Diego, but with with a year in flux, that's the day that Ted King took to Vermont's plush roads and pedaled north to Canada.
But this episode isn't about Ted. It's about the King family. Prominently featuring Laura King and 8 week old Hazel, this is a film about how to "make it all work" amid busier than normal times. The balance of parenthood, life, work, and raising a family, this is a King of the Ride episode unlike any other.

so cool! Thanks for sharing it with them!
great video to the first family of gravel
So cool. As a father of two awesome young women, middle school teacher and NICA coach you are such a great role model for so many people in the world. Especially in these tough times, this was a much needed breath of fresh air and I am going to plan my next DIY challenge in Chapel Hill, NC.
Love the part Laura wheee you said something ‘still being able celebrate the things that you love and being yourself’ ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜
man riding 140 miles solo is hard enough, but add to it feeding a baby. Badass couple!
THIS is the content on KZread I am after. Good clean wholesome fun. Live your life large, and celebrate ALL the miles. Awesome video.
When I met you Ted in Seattle this past December, probably the most impressionable thing about the whole experience was how genuine and kind you are without compromising your self. Of course your family is equally as beautiful as you are a good soul, which you are indeed sir.

Epic ride, King family! Mostly Laura, but Ted and Hazel can take 12% credit.
Awesome to see women being highlighted! Husbands with wives who ride really appreciate this! Thank you! 🚴♀️🚴🏼❤️

Tedd, you definitely took second to Laura at this years BWR. Seriously impressive.
This might make me a geek...but I love the way Laura pedals.
Cycling, family, raising a baby, conquering a huge goal, tremendous support from family and friends...this has everything. Huge congrats on the ride, your beautiful family, and sharing incredible lessons from your adventure and your journey so far. You Kings are cycling royalty not just for your feats on the bike, but for the genuineness and tenacity of your hearts. Thank you for sharing this!
the women who are apart of gravel and make it so welcoming are a big reason im interested in it. similar to ultra-trail running, gravel seems to have such a positive community of women. congrats on your epic ride!
IMO Hazle was more commenting on the Bike Industry than the concept of the bicycle
Love the fact you put your daughter down and let her cry, that is frankly, good parenting, well done! And that's not even covering the fact that your going out and getting it! Well done, super impressed! Keep it balanced, that's the key. As a now empty nester of two awesome kids with me and my wife, I'll tell you, never let them compromise your active lifestyle. Awesome attitude, keep it up!
Amazing video! Cute baby! Congrats to both!
this is awesome and Laura looks awesome.
So fitting that Ted's driveway is GRAVEL!!!
JFC rode BWR distance/climbing and breastfed the baby during the stops? Respect, so impressive.
What a doll baby 👶 Congrats on the mileage and getting the most out of motherhood,cycling and life .

Awesome video. Great message. Go Laura!
Strong woman! Strong family! Great job, Laura!

So happy for you guys! What a beautiful baby 👶 girl! 😊

Kudos to Laura for her drive, and juggling of training and nursing regimens. Any chance of you sharing the recipe of her scrumptious- sounding, pre-ride breakfast?
Awesome video. Great inspiration!!
I'd love to see all three of you become the ultimate cycling power family. Judging based on the badassery displayed by Laura in this video, Hazel certainly has the genes on both sides to be talented on the bike. Great video once again!

You guys are so good on camera.
Just right. Thanks!
Best video from the family yet. The future is female!
Me: struggling to hit the May Strava climbing challenge. Laura: crushes BWR replica while breastfeeding. She is a beastmonster (in fly Velocio kit) 🤘🤘
Respect to you laura 💪

"Yeah, let me just stop this 140 mile GRINDER of a ride I'm doing to breastfeed." What an absolute MONSTER. Laura's fucking cool.
Did she do that ride on a SuperSix Evo Hi-Mod? It doesn’t look like a Topstone but I’m watching this cool video on a small phone, unfortunately.

Hey David, we ride road bikes off road all the time up here. Laura's EVO can rock 32c slicks with ease. Not sure what year your Synapse is, but I run 35c slicks on my 2018 Synapse in there easy peasy! Yes, ride gravel. Get gnar.

@@TedKing1 Thanks for the reply. I have a 2018 Synapse SE and I was looking at the Rene Herse Bon Jon 35c tubeless. Do you need to run the 35's at high pressure to get the clearance or will they still fit at lower psi?
#BEASTMOM
Laura is awesome. Like her better on these videos then Ted.
7:00 “If he can do it why can’t I?” Uhhh... cause he’s a pro who’s been at the Tour. Props for dreaming big tho.
