Hannah Simms on The Fernie Gravel Grind, Women in Racing, and Where Gravel is Going

About this episode

Hannah Simms discusses her experiences in gravel racing, event marketing, and the community surrounding The Fernie Gravel Grind.

Hannah Simms is on the show today! Hannah races gravel and MTB for Kona Bikes and The Easton Overland Team. And as impressive as she is on the bike, she is equally impressive in her work on the events and marketing side of things for Anything Goes Event Series who puts on our hometown race, The Fernie Gravel Grind. If you've done this race, you already know how special it is and no, it's not just because of the party! This was a really cool conversation that drifted from elite competition to mindset to events and back and I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! Oh and if you fancy riding bikes with us and many others in the Tactic community, consider joining us in Fernie in July to take on the Fernie Gravel Grind!
