Girls Gone Gravel podcast

Putting on a gravel event for thousands of people is no small task. Our guest this week Amy Charity knows that all too well. Amy is at the helm of the GRVL series which hosts gravel races in FNLD GRVL in Lahti Finland, RDL GRVL in Adelaide Australia, as well as SBT GRVL in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This year their flagship race, SBT GRVL was met with an enormous new challenge as it faced major resistance from some residents of the small rural community that hosts the event. Amy talks through the challenges of putting on such a large event in a remote, rural community and how she and the GRVL team have had to work with stakeholders to make changes with the event so that it minimizes disruptions for residents of the county. She also discusses why it is so important that we, as gravel cyclists, act as good stewards to the places in which we ride our bikes to ensure that these places are being protected and preserved for all users of the land.     Follow SBT on Instagram @sbtgrvl [https://www.instagram.com/sbtgrvl/] and check out their website for details on the 2025 event.

This week we have another special episode for you with two Life Time Grand Prix athletes, who, off the bike, are experts in sports nutrition. Sarah Lange is a registered dietician, and Anna Hicks is a certified nutritionist. The pair discuss how mindset and diet culture can play into our fueling decisions as athletes, and why it is important for us to challenge those thoughts when they come up. They give us some concrete tips on how to build better nutrition practices around our training and racing, so that we can perform our best both on and off the bike, and also help break down some nutrition basics to help build a foundation of fueling for performance and success.
