Respect Travis. Finished and beat the sun. 12 hours has to be a pretty satisfying result on that race.
12? He said 14. Still an amazing result beating the sun though!
Awesome job Travis beating the sun is a tremendous accomplishment! Was my first 200 this year and didn’t roll in till midnight. Hopefully next year I can finish with a better time. 🚴♂️
A truly amazing accomplishment!! Congrats!
Great effort Travis! Happy to see you have the success you deserve this year! Thanks for all of the tips and the consistent fantastic content from Silca on the channel. Congratulations to the entire Silca team for a great Unbound event!
Agree on the north vs South course!
Congrats on the finish Travis! Balancing training with family life can be tricky
Hey Travis, awesome ride! I enjoyed your video. I didn't realized your were a youtube star. I was part of the paceline you mentioned at the end of your report. We had a great group and were picking up more riders as we got closer to the finish. Glad we crossed paths. Hope to see you out there again.
Thanks for all pulls. I don’t think I would have made it without you all!
We probable passed each other a few times as I finished 9 minutes ahead of you. My rear shifter broke on Kaw Road 2 hrs in and I had to two-speed it to the first aid station where Shimano Neutral Service was nice enough to replace it.
One year waiting for this video! Congrats and thank you for the hard learned wisdom.
Glad you enjoyed it!
Great job Travis! Next event Gravel Worlds
Great job, Travis! Getting better every year. Next year will be even better.
Your diet can be tuned to help you even more. Knowing what you are consuming can add much to your life. At 10:55, do you know you were eating poison? So many bad chemicals in the Loops and other "foods" in the U.S. that they are banned in many other countries.
Good job man
Congratulations on your feat.
Thank you!
Nicely done Travis…
Hey Travis - I see you went with the Pirelli Gravel H tires. I have been really wanting to try these but there have been mixed reviews when it comes to punctures. What setup did you run with tires for unbound? Did you go with inserts? Any evidence of puncture? Thanks again and great job this year!
how are you running 22 PSI and not dinging/denting your rims? Or getting flats?
I want to experience the Unbound mayhem. Someday.
It really is a bucket list event. You should aim for it.
Bro is wearing two watches 😂
I think it’s a Whoop training band.
Evens out the weight🤣 There isn't one watch that can give you all the data that you want. Not yet anyway.
If they're using mountain bike tires then why not just use a mountain bike?
Cause they are slow!
They are generally heavier and sitting more upright causes more aerodynamic drag.
Riding position and no drop bars. But we’ll get there. Next step they’ll be running front suspension as some have already and then we’ve come full circle. Take a hardtail and slap drop bars on it.
@@irfuel Good luck going 22 MPH for 200 miles on a hard tail.
