Unbound Gravel 2023
looking at events leading up to the event as well as race day coverage. Unbound Gravel is a special event and really has to seen to be understood. Things that I personally appreciate was the overall good vibes that would permeate the streets. With thousands of people flocking to Emporia Kansas, with a population for 24,000 i'm sure that swells to some 34,000 or more.
The weather leading up to the event was, warm, humid with intermittent precipitation culminating in significant rain the day before that start of the 200 and 100 mile races. This precipitation created some incredibly sticky mud from race mile 12-16, making pedaling almost impossible. Tire choice was important and these conditions favored those who had a little more clearance.
To those who made it past this point they were treated to another 184 miles of pure kansas gravel. Undulating terrain, water crossings and even a few dry dusty country roads the Unbound Gravel course is one that if you survive the sense of accomplishment will never be forgotten.

Such an awesome vid of last year Steve and Co! See y’all back there tomorrow!
Finally, some shots of the famed mud section. Lovely edit :D
It was quite sticky! thank you!
A++
Excellent video...great job finding some of the better spots to shoot on the course!
Thank you!
❤❤
Wow this was a nice video.......thumbs up
thank you very much!
Thanks for capturing the pointy end, while I was stuck in the squishy slow end :D
Hey at least you were out there, I was just standing there with a camera haha.
This race is just getting off the ground.. Americans just don't know what they are doing.. but learning slowly.. very, painfully slow..I saw some press about the race and some of the best was the police chief of the town..guy knew the race distances and start times.. seemed genuinely enthusiastic about the event.. some of the pre and post race footage was ok . what has to happen is helicopter , airplane or high altitude drone video needs to show the beauty of the town and overall great landscape of the race. Like the Tour dFrance. Giro Italia and right now the Criterium du Dauphine..all these races are shown as an extended video post card for tourism and how fantastic the place is.. so why not go to Kansas and ride the course.. get a hotel or rental..drink and eat in the town enjoy other things.. this race is only going to grow and the opportunity to show people how beautiful and fun middle America can be can't be wasted..we need to sell Americana every chance we get and a great way to do it is showing thousands of people having a great time and that fun doesn't have to be for only 1 week.. and the cycling federation needs to pull it's head out.. start super super over hyping races like Redlands and Tour of the Gila.. when the world sees extended coverage of fantastic S.Cal mountains and ski areas near race or see the wonder of panoramic views of New Mexico landscape it will attract people. Watch World Championship from Australia and all you think about besides the racing is what a breathtaking awesome country.. can't wait to stop dreaming and get there.. and Unbound is a real opportunity to showcase America..
Maybe we could reschedule it to somewhere more interesting and actually beautiful in America like Utah and Arizona and New Mexico and not ugly boring pancake Kansas.
Thank you for taking the time to put this together.
thank you for watching!
Well edited! I love the background music from @2:05 to @4:00
👌👌👌
💪🤘👏
Great work! Awesome video.
thank you!
Nice footage! You captured it!
That had me captured! Awesome put together
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice footage!
thank you
crazy how NOBODY'S rear wheels were turning for a while!!!
Сколько радости , позитива в глазах. Видео супер, хочется на спешика своего запрыгнуть и гнать как они. Вот только грязи боюсь я что-то почище выберу 😂. СПАСИБО.
Great filming. Looked a wild event, shame the main finish was mixed up with other riders.
Did you guys discontinue that top tube bag I saw? Looks good. Are you guys going to come up with a new top tube bag?
Not sure why that the 205 finisher have to compete with all the other riders in that narrow of a closing section. Granted not sure Unbound thought that they would have a 7-up sprint finish for the win. But still a little dangerous and using the slower riders to create barriers could of gotten someone hurt.
A pancake flat race no matter how long will always have a sprint finish.
@@aethylwulfeiii6502 but what jim was saying was that in a 200 mile race, one would expect a smaller leading group. Especially since in the past few years, the pro men’s lead group has ended with maybe 2-3 people in a sprint
Here's an odd question. Was there anyone using v brake or cantis at unbound ? just curious.
looks more like the amazing race (from hell)
not a bad title
All that mud it's not worth the hassle I just want to ride my bike😂
definitely a rough stretch of road.
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
But there were two mud sections (at least for the 100 miler).
Great video - amazing editing - more of the womens field though…
Unfortunately I only had the opportunity to be in a car that was following the over all race leaders. I would have like to get more full race coverage!
Woman winner?
I’d rather see the normal people.
As an amateur, why would you pay $400 to ride in the shittiest roads known to man? flat lands, mosquitoes, mud everywhere and no support?????
While this portion of the course definitely sucked, the rest of the course was good. Tough for me or anyone else who wasn't on their bike to comment but to get a finish at Unbound is on my list of accomplishments I would like and didn't see a single mosquito... I had large spiders and wasps in my room though haha.
Gravel biking is basically I’m too scared to ride a road bike road but I have 10k to burn on a couple of slow road bikes.
@@aethylwulfeiii6502 I bought my Gravel bike for $2,200 on Facebook marketplace and I prefer to ride in the dirt...
The no support part is interesting too - participants have to bring or hire their own support.
Is that unique to this event?
@@Hintonbro. They offer water at some points but yes it is intended to be self supported. Most participants wear a hydration pack.
This is NOT fun at all! BS!
