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.

PAS Normal Studios & The Mid Summer 200K

Cadence Cyclery Encinitas recently had the privilege of hosting PAS Normal Studios for their Mid Summer 200K ride. Regardless of your opinion of the PAS brand, there is no denying one thing. Between their US-based youth cycling program and now this group ride, they are here to impact the cycling community for the better. And they have some deeply passionate people working hard to make it happen. We are looking forward to more of this and hope to aid in their efforts however we can.

Exploring Big Sky Country Ahead of the Belgian Waffle Ride

I’ve always believed that having a plan is good, but being flexible is even better. Our recent trip to Montana proved that point in the best way possible.

Belgian the F*ck Up: BWR Montana Brings the Pain to Bozeman

The inaugural Belgian Waffle Ride Montana didn’t just arrive in Bozeman—it kicked the door down, left tire tracks through the living room, and poured a cold recovery beer on the way out. Set against the breathtaking backdrop of Montana’s vast gravel playgrounds, the first-ever BWR MT delivered a day that tested the sadists of the saddle and gave us the “Hell of the Bozone” in all its glory.
