    Emporia Kansas for Unbound Gravel 2023Emporia Kansas  

    Unbound Gravel is quite the event and really has to be seen to be understood. Something that I personally appreciated was the overall good vibes that permeated the streets. With thousands of people flocking to Emporia, Kansas, with a population of 24,000 that swells to some 34,000 or more.

    Unbound 2023 Mud

    The weather leading up to the event was warm, humid with intermittent precipitation culminating in significant rain the day before the 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.

    Those who made it past this point 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.
