Holy Spirit of Gravel

The season is official underway! (even though marquee races and other leagues have been going on for weeks now)
But still, it was Sea Otter weekend!
A trade show-cum-influencer showcase, in case you hadn't heard of it. It was also the start of the Life Time Grand Prix. A series with consequences. Really good stuff for a meme sport!
My cohost watched 15 minutes of the Sea Otter Gravel Classic live stream and I caught pretty much all 6 hours of it. And with that we recorded a podcast episode for everyone with depressing work commutes and sad trainer rides.
Topics include:
pedaling ebikes?
name dropping
Trey Sheppard
doping should be required
live stream politics
BRUTAL sea other course
sea otter course BRUTALITY
name dropping Kate Courtney to children so they ride more
Lebron
gravel racing
"best power numbers ever"
which was better the OJ Simpson docudrama or the Menendez Brothers
LTGP results by year
Levi's grand fondo start list
going to Girona and Traka
joining Sarah Sturm's pregnancy pact
and much more!
oh and the Dyatlov Pass incident

Winner of the Men's Midsouth Elite/Pro/Friday racer/Privateer/normie XL race, we had Durango native Cobe Freeburn of Trek Driftless on the pod to chit chat about how he rode 28c tires to the win (maybe a bit wider) and how that finish went down, what exactly is the Cliff Family Foundation, why Fort Lewis college is cool and what his plans are for the rest of the year.
My audio is a bit glitched out but Cobe's is fine and that's the most important thing.
follow Cobe on instagram and comment to make him addicted to instagram since he currently is cool and definitely not a screen addict

Those vibe check snipers on the rooftop will make sure of it.

I was at Valley of Tears gravel race in Turkey, TX and I got high-key activated!
I don't really know what I was doing there to be honest...vibe checks, instagram story coverage, gravel dad mogging, dirt crit alt-stream analysis, camping with my friend, drinking lonestar beer...a bit of everything.
All the instagram stories and some reels are up on my instagram page but listen to this episode to hear the answers to questions like:
-which privateer did I get to shotgun a La Croix?
-which PAS racer was sharing a house with Lunchbox racing?
-who flatted out early and had to get ride with us back into town?
-why can't we say "enve mog squad"?
-what was it like bantering with sofia?
-why is my bartape digital snow camo?
-will you use code "HSOGSEAL" for 15% off Stans products?
