The Iron Horse, truffle pigs, and crickets

Balloons, the Giro, and boa constrictors

Sarah and Hannah spent a lot of time together this week, and they’re still cooling off from a hike-related argument. They catch up on some loose ends from last week (the PCT OnlyFans hiker, a high-profile lawsuit in the outdoor industry, and the deeply uncool nature of running), and do a deep dive on all the drama at the Giro de Italia. Then, they get up to speed with Lael Wilcox’s 'round the world challenge, contemplate the amount of saliva in ‘Love Island,’ and reveal the crowd-sourced answer to Hannah’s question about the mud at Unbound last week.

BONUS: Dispatches from Unbound (ft. Cecile Lejeune, Ruby Ryan, Payson McElveen, and Dominique Powers)

This year's Unbound was a mudfest that, for better or worse, produced some excellent stories. In this bonus episode, we hear from riders Cecile Lejeune, Ruby Ryan, and Payson McElveen about their most memorable mishaps from the day, and get an insider's account of what it's like doing media for the race from photographer Dominique Powers.  Instagram: @talking.over.you [https://www.instagram.com/talking.over.you]

Unbound, lab coats, and ChatCBD

This week is (almost) all about Unbound, which took place over the weekend. Sarah was commentating for the live broadcast and got to see firsthand just how wrecked the equipment and riders were by the mud and storms. Hannah was watching the live feed and witnessed another type of carnage in the comments section. They talk about how the race went down, where Sarah and a dead raccoon fit into it, and get uncharacteristically technical about the presence of 32” wheels and the dominance of the new Specialized Crux. But before all that, Hannah shares some exciting news about a DNA test she got (for her dog), provides an update on the influencer hiking the PCT, and the MRI she got in Albuquerque.  This episode is sponsored by Thank Gravel It’s Friday [https://www.instagram.com/thankgravelitsfriday/] and the Ride for Hope [https://www.instagram.com/therideforhope_/].   Instagram: @talking.over.you [https://www.instagram.com/talking.over.you]

The Iron Horse, truffle pigs, and crickets

This week, Sarah talks about riding the Iron Horse Classic in Durango last week and contending with an unexpected amount of backlash about it. She and Dylan also went to a breastfeeding class where she learned some pretty mind-blowing facts about areolas and truffle hunting. Meanwhile, Hannah has been contending with a bug invasion at her house and crying over mascot reveals.  This episode is sponsored by Thank Gravel It’s Friday [https://www.instagram.com/thankgravelitsfriday/] and the Ride for Hope [https://www.instagram.com/therideforhope_/].   Instagram: @talking.over.you [https://www.instagram.com/talking.over.you]

The Cocodona, swamping, and ageing in cycling

This week on the show, Sarah brings an unprecedented level of organisation to discuss the Cocodona 250 (an ultra running event in which a woman won both the men’s and women’s fields), the drama at the Traka 560, and a new non-cycling trend known as swamping. Hannah is busy thinking about how to make Sarah’s baby shower as uncomfortable for the older attendees as possible and has some thoughts on traditional baby shower activities. Plus, they discuss the challenges of ageing as a professional cyclist and share some book recommendations.  You can find audiobooks through Hannah’s shop, Hand in Hand, here [https://libro.fm/handinhandshop].
