A change of plans in late May allowed her to travel from Brazil to Kansas for Unbound Gravel last week, though she downsized to the women's 100-mile event and achieved her third victory at that distance.
She's not done with heavy travel just yet, as one day after winning Unbound 100 she headed to Spain to participate in the UCI 2.1 Volta Ciclista a Catalunya Femenina, demonstrating her commitment to competition.
Stephens rode the first 20 miles at the front of the race with elite women in the mix, eventually being the only woman at the front and securing a win over the runner-up and third-placed riders.
When asked about her decision to downsize to the 100-mile event, Stephens explained that the change was necessary due to a last-minute agreement to participate in the Volta Catalunya, making the logistics more feasible.
