2023 Unbound Gravel | Vlog

I arrived in Emporia on Wednesday. I got the expo space for Bikeflights setup then it was full on through the weekend and into the next trip.

This was my first time at Unbound. It is still too early to say if it will be my last. Regardless, I had fun connecting with friends and lots of excited people that swung by the tent. Thanks for popping by and saying hi if you did. If you didn't make sure you do at the next one, which for me will be Leadville.

These videos take a lot of time to make and sometimes the adventures are expensive. If you feel like donating to encourage/help me offset costs, THANKYOU! Your contribution is greatly appreciated and gives me the resources to provide y'all more content.

Best post-ride, rider-commenting, analysis videos on YouTube. Kerry’s vibe, vocal delivery, and subtle humor are just so chill. I like it.

sitting in the grass on the side of the road.. .empty, alone. Shattered. hilarious. Great effort to pick it back up and finish.

Pushing through the mental darkness to pull a top 25 is still beast mode. Esp in a race that was DNFing people left and right.

You did great out there. There were some serious hitters in that front group and chase group.

Great job battling through the bonk and still doing reasonably well! Your videos are great as always, keep doing what you do.

I think the temperature swings played havoc with a lot of riders fueling plan. I had a blood sugar dip in my 200 too, then finished strong. I think it hit 95-98° for a bit there, then total core temp dump when it rained, then hot again. Last year fueling was steady but less of a temp swing. Way to finish it out and tally up some points. Hard day on the bike for sure.

Thanks Kerry...yeah, bud . To get up and finish 23rd ??? HUGE. The legend grows...

Good effort for your first go with the heat and mud. Must be hard going from shorter racing like CX and MTB and step up to an 11 hr race

I'll be that guy, at 9:22 - 6 arrows, and only 5 names, Jan Bakelants is/are 2 riders! What gives? Coverage perfection btw.

[jverbeke]

Awesome footage which gave a good look into the race and what makes it so hard! Thanks

Love your stuff man! alarm set for 4:20 with a 69sec snooze was the BEST! Where does a guy get his hands on those 32oz Flow bottles?
