Going Back for Vengeance! | Unbound Gravel Prep | TPC

After a tough 2023 season, Bruce wants 2024 to be his redemption year. It’s best to dream big, so he’ll be competing at two of the toughest races in the US - the Unbound Gravel 200 and the Leadville Trail 100 MTB. He recaps his previous Unbound finishes, including the crushing disappointment of DNFing after the mud section in 2023, and what his goals are for Unbound Gravel in 2024. Follow along as he prepares his gear, body, and mind for a year of big race goals.

Great story and motivation! I used to race (amateur) and ride a ton until a setback in 2021 with cancer diagnosis. Three years later I am finally back on the bike, thanks in part to TPC where I got my dream road bike. *I have a gravel bike still stuck in Jerusalem, but that’s another story. Just wanted to say thanks again. Like you Bruce, I have goals for 2024, albeit parred down from those crazy races you are engaged. Look forward to hearing more TPC stories. Keep up the great work connecting people to their bikes to be used.

Great story. I love the breaking down and changing to a single gear just to keep trying to finish! Awesome! Sorry that it didn't work out for you. Going back again is even better! Rooting for you and looking forward to your posts about gravel tires as I just got my first gravel bike.

Great stuff. I would love to attempt Unbound. If you ride and you finish, you've won as far as I'm concerned. It's a big day and a fabulous goal. Ride on!!!

Am attending Unbound this year for the first time. Would love your input on my bike setup. Wanted to know if I need to change cassette and tire size. I have a cervelo apero, Am currently running 44t with 10/28. Tires are pathfinder pro 38’s
Thank you
