5. The Ladies of Unbound 2025

Beth, Carri-Ann, and Monica join to share their experience racing the Unbound Gravel 100 in Emporia, Kansas — one of the most iconic gravel events in the world. The three women recount how they came together as a team through the Case of the Mondays Femmes community, spent the winter training together (with a coach-provided plan and a lot of virtual accountability), and ultimately raced as a coordinated pace line across the Flint Hills.The conversation covers everything from the chaos of the start line to the brutal final 28 miles, the mental strategies that kept them going, and the unexpected beauty of Kansas in early summer. Their story is a genuine testament to what happens when cycling stops being just a solo workout and becomes something you do with people you care about.The "Snacks" segment wraps up every episode with a tribute to the most important part of any ride: snacking.
