This week, JP sits down with Hannah Shell, a top-10 finisher in the Gravel Earth Series and one of the most recognizable riders in the pro gravel peloton. Hannah shares her winding path into gravel racing, how she balances high-level competition with her work at Gravel Worlds, and what it’s really like to pursue the sport at the elite level. Her insight into the evolving landscape of gravel offers a refreshing and honest look at what it takes to excel while staying grounded. The conversation goes deeper into identity and the experience of being a six-foot-tall woman in a peloton where confidence and presence matter. Hannah talks about the power of strong female role models, the importance of women supporting women, and how she and her husband navigate full-time RV life throughout the racing season. They wrap up with classic rapid-fire questions, making this episode equal parts insightful, personal, and fun — a must-listen for fans of the growing gravel community.
