Sunny Stroeer used to be a hard-charging strategy consultant, armed with an MBA from Harvard, but turned her back on material possessions and career shortly after turning 30 in order to live in an Astrovan so she could run and climb full-time instead.
She’s done big-wall climbs, multi-day paddling trips, 100 milers, and everything in between. Her specialty is the high altitude endurance realm; she holds speed records on Aconcagua and on the Annapurna Circuit. She is a true renaissance person.
In this episode, Yuri and Fatty talk with Sunny about her own transformation from couch potato to endurance icon, how Sunny is now paying that transformation forward with AWExpeditions and the Summit Scholarship (https://www.awexpeditions.org/).
What happens when you combine one of the most historic mountain bike races with one of the hottest new gravel races? You get the LeadBoat Challenge! In this special edition episode of the Pinnacle Podcast, hosts Yuri Hauswald and Elden “Fatty” Nelson sit down with gravel-legend Alison Tetrick and SBT GRVL founder Mark Satkiewicz to talk about why a handful of cyclists have decide to take on both the Leadville 100 MTB and the SBT GRVL back-to-back.
