  • The Traka 2025 recap
    2025/05/05

    Sorry Lifetime Grand Prix-- but is the Trakka was the greatest gravel race of all time? We digitally travel to the streets of Girona, attend some sick afterparties and activations, and embedded ourselves in the 10 hour Trakka livestream to bring you the best race and culture analysis available. It was a huge day for Pas Racing aka Pas Normal Studios. Will this increase their market share in America, and are they on their way to Rapha normie status?

  • Castell Grind 2025 -- How I got on a normie gravel podium
    2025/04/09

    The Holy Spirit of Gravel travels to Castell, TX and ends up on the podium of the normie distance of a normie race. She continues to add to her normie palmares in order to pitch sponsors in her inevitable meme admin to privateer arc.

    Gravel Dad and the Holy Spirit discuss the rise of hitter-coded normies, watt pushing gravel dads, and cycling body dysmorphia when you are an American non-hitter in Pas Normal.

    It was a muddy weekend in Castell that resulted in slower times, but yielded higher results. This pod has to be about as interesting as a Lifetime GP reject talking about their 19th place.

    So how to get on a gravel podium according to HSG?

    -push up to the front at the start-how to not be afraid of hitter coded riders

    -don't train with power or heartrate, just ride on VIBES

    -steal Pas Normal bottles that fell out of bottle cages at bumpy parts of the course

    -when there's bad weather leading up to the race, just go to the race anyways

    -aggressively flick your elbow and yell at people for not pulling (even though neither of you are actually good at cycling)

    -the fall of Chase Collins and the local hitter to privateer pipeline.

  • Rattlesnake Gravel Grind
    2025/03/27

    The Holy Spirit traveled to the Rattlesnake Grind in Sweetwater, Texas. We do a vibe check on the weekend. Participants included Lauren Stephens, Joe Laverick and a bunch of normies. Some gravel dad brought rollers to warm up in the parking lot. Does the Spirit of Gravel live exclusively at Lifetime Grand Prix events or just your local regional grind? No one has recognized my Pas Normal International Cycling Club cap and I'm having an existential meltdown.
