Unbound Gravel 2024 - The Biggest Gravel Race in the World!
Here's a look into my first go at Unbound Gravel, racing the elite men's 200 mile race. This was the hands down the HIGHEST level of competition I've ever raced with. About 135 riders started the professional race, and the fight for position in the pack was crucial going into each minimum maintenance road! I executed my stategy of going into each sector towards the front nearly perfect for the first 100 miles. Part way through the Little Egypt sector, my heart sank as air hissed out of my rear tire.
I was able to get my tire to seal within a minute, but the group was gone. I put my head down and chased my heart out, coming in for 29th place with a time of 9 hours and 31 minutes!
All in all, I am going to call this a successful first go and celebrate the achievement of placing top 30 at such a prestegious race! But as you know, I plan to come but next year hungry for more!

      Bike was flawless! Just the flat but that’s not the bikes fault. I actually really liked the drivetrain for this race with the gears closer together! But that new red 13 speed is going to be the ticket! If you do get the current red explr, just make sure you get a chain keeper! I have not had a single drop or issue this year with that!

It’s such a pity you got a flat at the most possible worst time, but that’s racing man. I think this is possibly your best performance without any issues from a health perspective and I think just reapply this same strategy and preparation and you will get that elusive result! You’ve gained a lot from this experience and look forward to your next adventure. Peace.🤛🏻

    Great video coverage. I felt as if I was riding with you as you told your story. I am racing most of this course this Saturday at the Rock Ridge Gravel Race that Starts in Alma, KS. It will be just as tough terrain but 75 miles. I thinking of run the Perilli RC rather than the H tires for more grip and additional puncture protection. The RCs are definitely slower on pavement but think will give more confidence on the course. What sealant did you have in your tires?

    • @jgoettl2.0
      @jgoettl2.0 8 годин тому

      Thank you! I’d say that’s a good call! The H’s can take a beating but unbound is a different beast! I’m thinking about running the rc’s at big sugar as well! Ive always just ran regular Stan’s sealant but I’m thinking about giving orange seal or the silica stuff a try! I think Paige Onweller tested a few in her unbound prep UA-cam video and found a pretty good sealant!

    29th is very impressive still. It's absolutely bonkers, how fast the pace was this year. Last year was just over 10 hours, and this year, 61 riders were under the 10 hour mark. To think that you went 35 minutes faster than last years 1st place finish time, and got 29th, is hard to wrap my head around. Fantastic video, Joe! You did a great job! Thanks for sharing it with us.
