This week on the Girls Gone Gravel podcast, Kathryn and Kristi chat with former pro cyclist Scotti Luchega. Scotti is the recent founder of the Natural State Rock & Republic, a cycling retreat that leads bike packing tours, and provides coaching, lessons, bike fitting, and indoor cycling classes in Springdale, AR. She tells us about how their own experiences with gravel riding, bike packing, and endurance races prompted their move to northwest Arkansas to create their own cycling mecca.
