Sami Sauri is a Spanish multi-sport athlete, creative director, and photographer who has spent the past several years discovering the world on two wheels and using her lens to tell stories that empower women and build community in cycling.

In this episode, we chat about Sami’s evolving relationship with the bike—from racing gravel competitively to embracing slower, story-driven adventures that highlight connection over competition. She reflects on recent rides at Hills Gravel, Sea Otter Classic, and a Sequoia bikepacking trip ahead of The Traka in Spain.

We also talk about the role of storytelling in endurance sports, as Sami shares her early roots in photography, her move to Chamonix, and the projects she’s most excited about next—including her continued work with women’s cycling initiatives and creative media.

Such a fun and inspiring conversation—I hope you all enjoy it too!
