Rebuild Mark: Unbound Gravel 2023 Recap

Slow Guy On The Fast Ride

Mark did it! He went to Kansas and raced Unbound Gravel!
Well, sort of.
Like so many other unfortunate participants, Mark got time-cut after a 4-mile slog through an unrideable mud pit. But he had a great time anyway, and learned a lot about himself, and gravel-riding.
Mark joins host Dan Cavallari on the Slow Guy on the Fast Ride podcast to recap his Unbound Gravel experience and clue us in on what's next on the Rebuild Mark agenda.
