  • 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.
