Today on the Women’s MTB Network Podcast, we sit down with Syd Schulz — professional mountain-bike athlete, writer, and all round bad ass, who made history this year alongside Kait Boyle and Krysti McBride at one of the toughest single-day MTB races in the U.S., the Marji Gesick 100.

Together, Syd, Kait, and Krysti became the first three women ever to finish under 12 hours — working together through 100 miles of rocky, rooty Michigan backcountry to shatter a long-standing barrier in endurance mountain biking.

We talk about:

• The teamwork and mental strength behind their sub-12 finish

• What it takes to push through 100 miles of unpredictable terrain

• The shift from racing to ultra endurance racing

• Building community through Syd and Macky on YouTube
