The Whole Enchilada in Moab is one of the best-known mountain bike trails in the world, but most folks take a shuttle to the top. Hannah Otto just demolished the FKT for the full loop, including the road climb to the top — for men or women — breaking the prior record by almost a full hour. So we sat down with Hannah to get the whole story, including her planning, nutrition, bike setup, and a whole lot more.

Hannah is such a shredder. Stoked to listen to this!
WOWOWOWOWOW!!! I rode 2/3’s of the WE a month ago. And I got tired shuttling to the top. Well done Hannah, Queen of the PAIN CAVE
I must admit, I turned on the podcast, because it was about mountain biking, and a cool trail.
But, the real star was Hannah’s thoughts and insights.
Such well balanced points, and great attitude/mindset, I learned a lot, thank you Hannah
