The Bonk Bros are back to break down everything that went down at Big Sugar, from race-day tactics and equipment decisions to the mental battles that can make or break a gravel race.

The guys dive into the strategies behind the racing, including breakaways, risk-taking, and whether playing it safe is actually costing riders results. They also unpack the Grand Prix standings, qualification criteria, and how the season's biggest races could impact opportunities for next year.

Of course, it wouldn't be a Bonk Bros episode without some serious bike tech talk. The crew debates tire sizes, rolling resistance, puncture protection, and the latest innovations changing the gravel racing landscape. Plus, they discuss race-day luck, the women's race, training adjustments, and why looking like a pro might just be half the battle.

In this episode:

Big Sugar race recap and key moments

Race tactics, breakaways, and strategic decisions

Playing it safe versus taking risks in gravel racing

Grand Prix standings, qualification, and wild card entries

Tire size, rolling resistance, and puncture protection

New bike technology and industry innovations

The role of luck, injuries, and preparation

Training adjustments and off-season planning

Women's race highlights and tactics

What's next for the gravel racing season

A former Navy SEAL, ultra-endurance racer, and faith-driven coach joins the Bonk Bros to talk bikepacking, gravel racing, ultra running, and the spirit of adventure. Chad Wright reflects on what grassroots endurance events can offer—and what may be lost as racing becomes more commercialized. From his Four Ridges Challenge ride to the Colorado Trail Race and Cocodona 250, Chad shares what it takes to prepare for long days in the backcountry, why fitness alone isn’t enough, and how carrying a jar of peanut butter became part of his race-day strategy. Along the way, the crew compares notes on training, nutrition, navigation, gear mishaps, and the unforgettable pizza that tastes better after miles on the trail. The conversation also takes a more personal turn as Chad describes how becoming a father reshaped his priorities and gave him a new sense of purpose. It’s a lively, candid episode about challenge, community, faith, and finding meaning in the adventures that push us beyond our comfort zones.
