Sarah is finally racing again, and her latest event was a big one — Ranxo Gravel in Spain, the final round of the Gravel Earth Series. Meanwhile, Hannah has been busy dealing with business stuff, reading memoirs, and making her own hair gel. They sit down this week to recap Sarah’s race, including her time in Spain, her unsuccessful efforts at speaking the local language, and what she’s learned about how not to look like an American while in Europe. Then, Hannah tries to explain some sign language slang, convince Sarah that the hair gel she made definitely isn’t what you think it is, and reminisce over how she and her partner fell in love via inReach messages.

Sarah has finally recovered from her illness, which can only mean one thing: shoutouts are back in full force. She and Hannah discuss everything from bear-proof trash cans to Beanie Babies this week, and somehow manage to find the time to talk about the revelatory factoid Levi Leipheimer once shared with Sarah (about peeing, of course). Mostly, though, they’re focused on cycling outfits, the etiquette of group rides, and who various pro cyclists would be if they were American Girl Dolls.

Sarah didn’t race this week because, as it turns out, she actually was sick. During her time off the bike, she finally had time to listen to a cycling podcast, and it led to some philosophical and downright existential thinking on being a professional racer. Meanwhile, Hannah went on a trip to Yellowstone National Park, which provided its own revelations. Jorts, snorkeling, lost hats, and yet another bathroom-related horror were on display, all of which led her to conclude that she was right not to invite Sarah.

It’s been a rough week for the Sturm sisters. Paramedics were called, flights were missed, and dulcimer videos were watched. In this episode, they sort through the wreckage, chat about the US’s success at the mountain bike World Champs, and discuss a harrowing underwear-based experience Sarah once had in the men’s bathroom at the Barcelona airport. They also talk about Hannah’s reconnection with the TikTok algorithm and how Sarah is feeling about the end of the 2025 racing season.

Sarah didn’t race this week, but she did get to watch Gravel Worlds and came away with some thoughts. Hannah asks some tough questions about bike components that Sarah tries to answer, and they both listen to a voicemail from their dad about his new hobby. Plus, they discuss a generational divide in thrifting and reflect, on a more serious note, on body image and eating disorders in sport.

Sarah had a rough time in Iowa racing Core4 gravel, and as far as she’s concerned, the corn fields may be to blame. She and Hannah talk about the humidity, what her hair was doing, and why she still loves the people of Iowa. Then, they talk about period tracking, a new era in Tech Decks, and how Sarah defused a tense moment in the bike race by peeing in her shoes.

Leadville happened, and Sarah survived without hitting a cow this time.
