This week, the Sturm sisters welcome their first guest, Sarah’s mechanic/husband, Dylan Stucki. He’s here to tell everyone exactly how difficult Sarah is to live and work with, and Hannah is here to make sure he doesn’t skimp on details. He also provides a peak behind the scenes on what it’s like to be the support crew during elite races. But first, Sarah recaps Big Sugar, her final race of the season, which was cut from 100 miles to 50 miles due to weather. More importantly, though, she talks about the Gravel Rave that came after. Plus, Hannah shares a story about one of her favorite customers.

The Sturms are back in the studio this week and have a lot to catch up on. Hannah went to Albuquerque and got a dulcimer update, Sarah flew business class back to the US from Spain, and both of them are feeling reflective about the career paths they could have taken in an alternate life. In the realm of bikes, they get in way over their heads by trying to explain (and define) bike chain waxing, from crock pots and Vegas to a word that neither of them can pronounce. Then, they dig into all the cycling drama that happened last week, including upsets at the Ironman World Championship, carnage at Little Sugar, a quibble with wardrobe at the final mountain bike World Cup of the season, and some serious Dutch drama at the Gravel World Championships.

Sarah is still in Spain, but instead of lining up for her own race this week, she was busy chasing Alex Roszko up and down mountains (on foot, no less) trying to get the perfect shot of Dylan during his enduro race. Hannah is gearing up for a trip to Albuquerque but was, unfortunately, home long enough to have a toe-curlingly awkward conversation with her doctor while getting her blood drawn. The sisters sat down to hash out their weeks, discuss the latest world championships in cycling, and do their best to properly identify one of the most common terms in the sport. Spoiler alert: They fail.

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.
