OC 11 // Sarah Sturm and Emily Schaldach #funisfast #singlespeed

Sharing stories of faceplants, McD's post race stops, costumes and start line dance parties, Sarah Sturm and Emily Schaldach take us into the details of their singlespeed cyclocross battles from 2019. In the process, they shed some light on what drives them to race and how they deal with the nerves of racing and balancing the results and the fun.  Both Emily and Sarah honed their cycling craft in Durango, CO amidst the beautiful trails and amazing athletes found there. They talk about collegiate cycling, singlespeed racing and the dichotomy of racing big races to win, while in the midst of a gigantic party.  They also share who their role models and mentors have been in the sport and reassure us that its ok to be serious about your sport, but not take your racing too seriously.  Give a listen to two women who exemplify what cyclocross is in the States and are bad ass role models for every aspiring or veteran racer.
