Greetings to the Gravel Dad x Privateer community! Father's day is done and dusted but The Pod Squad goes deeper on Gravel Dad theory and categorization. Understanding that Gravel Dads can range from ages 22-100 with different skills and vibes. Also--should sherpas stop escorting rich people up Mount Everest and start running feed zones for wealthy gravel dads?

"Is American crit racing WASHED?" -some one way too into gravel

The Holy Spirit touches grass after getting TOO activated at UNBOUND. She documents going on a ride without her Wahoo. Then she starts reading about Gravel Earth's Festivus Gravel, attended by Lifetime Grand Prix hitter Simon Pellaud.

The PD SQD (pod squad privateer team) accidentally starts talking about crit racing in America because Tulsa Tough happened. They are incredibly uninformed, but talk about Le6ion, The Golden State Blazers fka the Miami Blazers. Does it need a dirt crit or a Midsouth gravel crossover event? Holy Spirit says that we can unite American cycling if Justin Williams and Corey Williams did the Unbound 50 distance.

Eventually, Holy goes over the MAAP privateer collection and proceeds to describe every single jersey in detail for our visually impaired listeners. Will Pas Racing x Pas Normal Studios ever sell Pas Racing clothing to the general public?

The team begins to research grassroots races in America and becomes fixated on the Dozinky Doozy in Nebraska.

As always, JUSTICE FOR THE RAD in Trinidad Colorado.

Holy Spirit ventured to Emporia, Kansas to get ACTIVATED. The 200 mile pro field race was full of ruts, dangerous riding by non-elite riders, and clogged with normies on the course. Is it time to redefine the spirit of gravel? (aka the discussion that happens after every race)

More importantly, did the Holy Spirit almost end the race of an unnamed privateer (named John Borstelmann).

Lifetime Grand Prix is actually good this year because of Pas Racing, Cecily Decker, and Simon Pellaud. Also, Cam Jones might not be able to accept his prize money due to Visa issues. Was the real winner of Unbound Peyson McElveen's gravel commentating career? We define "the Double" which was achieved by Karo Mignon. And clear up the difference between Cecily Decker and Cecile LeJeune.

We talk about Rosa Kloser, PhD candidate, stopping by the E.F. tent, ketone cults, calling yourself a future Gravel Hall of Famer, equality for multiple distances, Holy Spirits parental support crew, denim jackets, and Holy Spirit's visit to the Pas House.
