lol at "the bike wash station!" thanks for the great video! looks like you had a good time, hopefully I'll be able to make it the next year or two. maybe I'll see you out there
Cool, i miss such race in Europe. Here is more heavy with up and down. I was at the beginning of the video confused, you talk to the camera but make a voice over. 😂 So Chapeau for the finish and thanks for the nice video!
14:38 I LOVE the locking grips on the drops! I don't know too much about modern gravel-bike setups. This is a grip-technique I will give great consideration to.
awesome video! oh snap that's me at 6:48 giving you a wave! also me at 7:25.. now that I think about it, we chatted for a bit before the towers climb! Glad you finished and had a great time man. epic memories. I can't wait to go back
@@iowagravelgrinder Hey did you see Erwin was highlighted by Cannondale! They put up a video on You Tube. Check it out. It’s called Unbound Playground.
Mate, I love all your content it is awesome seeing all these events, normal dudes having a go and all the fun and suffering that goes on. Keep up the great work. 👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻
@@iowagravelgrinder I just completed Australia’s longest gravel race, the Long Dirty Warrny and loved it, it was a tough day in the saddle. It was 155 miles and 11300 ft of climbing. We have some epic gravel here but most of our races are only around the 60 miles in distance. I love all the big races you do. 👌🏻
Amy thank you and I appreciate you watching. Funny you say that, the white Jersey was a mess to get clean again after the race. Congratulations, on your race as well.
at the 40mile point at 9:36 you can see my bike on the back of the white suv. I crashed out of the front group coming into this station and was waiting medical evac in that volunteers car. crazy day.
Love this. It was so great riding with you at Unbound. Keep spreading the cycling love 🙌
Erwin, it was a pleasure my friend! Until next time. You embody the true spirit of gravel.

Hey Phil, thanks for watching. Impromptu bike wash station for sure. Hope to see you out there one of these years.

Hey Chris, thanks for checking out the video! You had me cracking up with the confusion comment but I definitely see what you mean.

Nathan, these grips have been game changing especially on the long and rough terrain. If you get them I would love to hear how you like them.

Thanks mate, I got it dirty and kept it that way all week 😂
Great job! Those two mud sections really threw a wrench in all our plans...I was doing great until we hit those LOL.
Tim, thank you! Same here, the mud sections brought me back to earth!
He couldn’t handle your watts. I like it! I was there too. That mud is no joke. Great job and congrats on the strong finish.
Thank you! Thanks for appreciating the watts commentary!

That's an epic ride and ouch on the vert! 155 miles is a long ride no matter which way you slice it!
Congratulation man, you did really well, you did not let shitty situations affect your psyche/mood, and you just soldier on till the end.
Thank you! The mud situation was a challenge to overcome mentally. Thanks for watching.

Excellent video really interesting.
Indeed, thank you for watching. Are you tackling any gravel adventures this year?
Congratulations on finishing! Awesome video. I didn’t finish unfortunately.
Thanks Kevin! It was quite the day. Are you racing the event this year?
@@iowagravelgrinder I did not get in this year. I’ll be doing some races in Vermont (relatively local for me) and I’ll try to get in next year.
It’s harder than most realize. Great job! I’m only doing the 100 so I can enjoy the festivities
Thanks Michael! 100 miles is still a very long way to ride. Next time I do it, I will opt for the 100 miler to per-take in the festivities too.
Great video!
Thank you! Quite the terrain Kansas offers.
great job mate
I appreciate the support, thank you for watching!

Logan, glad you made it out and on the mend. An adventure of a day indeed. Are you racing it again this year?
15:46

count your blessings. 😁
Agreed! It could be worse 😂
Good job
Thank you!
