THE ROAST featuring; Simon Stofberg and Charl Kemp | Road to Gravel Burn Episode 10

No script, no plan, no filter: three mates the night before the Nedbank Gravel Burn. Dave sits down with Simon Stoffberg and Charl Kemp for the most unplanned conversation The Active Hobo has ever filmed. They argue about FTP, VO2 max and who is actually fittest, then get serious about why they’re racing seven days across the Karoo. One of them is back for redemption after a brutal first Gravel Burn. Another is racing so his son can one day see what he was capable of. Charl is photographing and filming a wedding the night before the start, then being driven through the night to the line. Under the banter is a real question: what does it cost the people at home, and why do they keep lining up anyway?
