Recently, there has been a ton of moms who are absolutely crushing it in the sports scene. From Chelsea Sodaro winning the Ironman World Champs, to Serena Williams retiring as pretty much the best tennis player of all time to spend more time with her kids - the mama's kick ass. And this week, we welcome Caro Poole - new mom and fierce gravel cyclist.

Caro shares how she got into cycling, and what it was like to be a pregnant cyclist. Riding pretty much up until birth and racing 4 months post-partum, Caro has a lot to say about pregnancy and sport. Getting detailed, Caro explains how her birth went, and underlines how tearing affected her ability to get back in the saddle. Finally, the trio chats about the community of gravel, and how conducive this is to having kids.
