Talking Over You
Hannah and Sarah Sturm grew up in the same household, live in neighboring towns, and hang out all the time. But in one respect, they couldn’t be more different: Sarah is a professional cyclist while Hannah has spent most of her life successfully avoiding bikes at all costs. They both know that Sarah has a weird job, and Hannah isn’t afraid to ask the sorts of questions that most people in the bike world would be too embarrassed to ask. Why is there a Queen Stage but not a King Stage? How old is gravel racing? Does everyone pee in their chamois? And most importantly, why on earth would anyone choose this as a job? Join the Sturm sisters every week to hear them laugh about their vastly different careers, argue about their shared memories, and drop unfiltered takes on just about everything.
Talking Over You
Graphite gals, fast food, and how to get started with outdoor adventuring
This week on the show, the Sturms are talking about scheduling, namely the stressful yet necessary task of sifting through all the competing gravel events in the U.S. and abroad and choosing which to prioritise. They have some questions about names, whether Hannah is ready to be a spectator at some of the largest races, and if Sarah can do an Australian accent (she cannot).
Then, they discuss the even more urgent topic of fast food. Which burger and soft drink combo tastes the best after a particularly challenging outdoor adventure, and which establishment does it best? Speaking of outdoor adventuring, they also answer a listener question about how you get started with bikepacking and backpacking if you have little to no experience. Not surprisingly, Sarah and Hannah have very different preferences when it comes to being outside, but they agree on a lot when it comes to getting started.
