Come with as the host JP, invites you in to conversations with people he’s met over the years. We won’t have stories about how to train or how to win a bike race here. Instead we’ll hear about what goes on in these athlete’s minds and sometimes we’ll even dive into the deep end of the pool and talk about mental health","last_synced_at":"2026-07-13T14:17:40.921847+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-stable-cyclist-6744207"},"episode":{"title":"Hayden Christian on Unbound, Signing with Trek & Living in a Van to Chase Racing","slug":"hayden-christian-on-unbound-signing-with-trek-living-in-a-van-to-chase-racing","published_at":"2026-05-18T06:01:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-stable-cyclist-6744207/hayden-christian-on-unbound-signing-with-trek-living-in-a-van-to-chase-racing","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/the-stable-cyclist-6744207","url":"https://thestablecyclist.podbean.com/e/hayden-christian-on-unbound-signing-with-trek-living-in-a-van-to-chase-racing/","audio_url":"https://mcdn.podbean.com/mf/web/ffpyfedvacfnxiv7/Hayden_Christian_PODCAST_AUDIO960xb.mp3","summary":"Hayden Christian burst onto the gravel scene after his breakout ride at Unbound 100, but the full story goes much deeper than one race result. In this conversation, Hayden opens up about growing up in motocross, finding mountain biking and gravel racing, and what it’s really like chasing a pro cycling career while living in a van and training full-time. We talk about the pressure of trying to make it in the sport, the moment he nearly walked away from racing, and the Trek contract that changed everything. We also dive into Unbound, the Lifetime Grand Prix, BWR, training, racing mentality, and the realities of life on the road as a young privateer athlete.
