  • Best Podcast to prep for Unbound Gravel

    Whether its the riders interviews or the pre-race route review, Funbound did a great job preparing me for completing the infamous Unbound Gravel 200mi this past year. The rider spotlights provided great tips from a diverse range of experiences, especially those like me who hang out at the back. And the route preview episode was spot on to what to anticipate on race day. :)
