Amanda Nauman Sheek is being inducted into the Gravel Cycling Hall of Fame—but her biggest wins aren’t just on paper. In this episode, Amanda reflects on what’s truly defined her career: not just Unbound and MidSouth victories, but the behind-the-scenes support, mentorship, and community that made those moments possible. As she prepares for her Hall of Fame speech, she shares how legacy, not just results, has become her focus.

We dig into what it takes to create lasting change in gravel cycling—especially for women and girls. Amanda talks candidly about what men can do to be better allies, how to support new rides, and why building inclusive spaces is key to the sport’s future. This conversation isn’t just about racing—it’s about the deeper work that makes success possible.
