In this episode of The Stable Cyclist Podcast, JP is joined by the one and only Holy Spirit of Gravel — one of the most unique and recognizable voices in the gravel community. What began as a fun, anonymous account built on wit and cycling passion has quickly become a movement. The Spirit shares her story of how she fell in love with gravel, why she started the account, and the decision to step out from behind the screen and become a front-facing part of the community.

The conversation dives deep into the rapid evolution of gravel cycling, the role content creators play in shaping the sport’s culture, and how storytelling has fueled its explosive growth. From the quirks that make gravel so different from road cycling to the ways in which community and humor have strengthened its identity, this episode is a must-listen for anyone who loves the sport and the voices that make it thrive.

Hey everyone, don't panic, we'll all be back together for more stories soon enough. I am just in the middle of the beginning of the school year and the middle of the soccer season and my time is extremely finite, so here's a little update. Hopefully we are back on track next week, or maybe later.

This week on The Stable Cyclist Podcast, JP sits down with Trey Shepard — one half of the duo behind the viral bike build channel, The Bicycle Station. Alongside Jesse Smith, Trey has helped launch the channel into one of the fastest-growing platforms in the gravel cycling scene.

JP and Trey dive into the “holy crap” moment at Unbound when it felt like nearly everyone on course recognized Trey — and what it means to balance that kind of attention with humility. From sudden fame to staying grounded, this conversation captures why Trey is one of the nicest and most genuine voices in cycling.

Whether you’re a fan of gravel, YouTube, or just good storytelling, this is one you won’t want to miss.
