Like many women at the top of the gravel scene, our guest this week Carolin Schiff got her start in road and cyclocross racing. The 2023 Unbound 200 champion, tells us about her racing background, and how injuries on the road prompted her to try gravel as an alternative to road racing. Caro made her first gravel trip to the US this year, and skyrocketed to the top of the US gravel scene. Now back in Europe, she chats about the difference in the US and European gravel scenes, and how she is seeing development in a positive direction in both places. Caro also gives us a bit of insight of what the gravel riding is like in her home country of Germany.
