Tag a friend who you want to tackle 200 miles of adventure with! You're not just signing up for a race; you're signing up for a 15+ hour session of soul searching, where the phrase "just one more hill" is a direct act of treason, and the only way to get through it is with a co-pilot.

Forget comfort zones; we're training for the "Existential Dread" section of the UNBOUND 200 Miler. Your legs are going to hate you on race day, so let's start making them hate you NOW. Mix those mind-numbingly long, "is my butt still attached?" endurance rides with the "why did I sign up for this?" torture of hill intervals. You need to teach your body how to suffer for hours and still find the power to climb out of a gravel ditch.
If this sounds like your kind of pain, don't delay the suffering! Registrations is open—sign up and secure your spot on the start line:
PS: If your "long ride" is currently your commute to the fridge, the training window is officially closed. At this point, you're just praying.
P.S. Get registered now! That 200-mile hole isn't going to dig itself, and panic-registering in October is not a training plan. 😊

UNBOUND is more than a name — it’s a mindset.
UNBOUND symbolizes freedom, limitlessness, and the relentless pursuit of pushing beyond physical and mental boundaries. It captures the essence of adventure on two wheels, where every pedal stroke is a journey into the unknown.
It’s a test of endurance, set against uncharted terrains, raw landscapes, and gruelling conditions. There are no safety nets, no easy outs — just you, your bike, and the open road.
To ride UNBOUND is to:
Break free from the predictable
Go beyond the paved
Embrace the wild, the remote, the uncomfortable
Test your endurance, grit, and self-reliance

“Chase Freedom, Find Yourself… This is where gravel tests your soul, turns pain into pride. This is where gravel doesn’t care who you are — only what you endure”
