Today, we talk about the GCN crew getting carjacked by Catalonian gangsters when they left Traka. By the way, who watches GCN? The Holy Spirit begins to document her Unbound Block, including a fall and an extreme stroad ride. We breakdown some of Traka's best content from Maddy Nutt and vc letsgetit. Musings include neglected greenways, Girona work permits, Sepp Kuss privateer arc, and a future where all bikes have insta360 cameras on them for insurance and surveillance purposes.

Sorry Lifetime Grand Prix-- but is the Trakka was the greatest gravel race of all time? We digitally travel to the streets of Girona, attend some sick afterparties and activations, and embedded ourselves in the 10 hour Trakka livestream to bring you the best race and culture analysis available. It was a huge day for Pas Racing aka Pas Normal Studios. Will this increase their market share in America, and are they on their way to Rapha normie status?
