Hi ,
Hi all,
I can’t believe we’re just over a week away from UNBOUND Gravel! I was a guest on a podcast today and I almost started crying as I was talking about all of the women in this community who have worked so hard this year to take on a new challenge! And I know that not all of you will be at UNBOUND, every start line is important and I hope to see you at an event later this year.
Here are details for next week:
📱 Let's Connect!
I've set up a WhatsApp group for everyone heading to UNBOUND.
Use it to connect before and during the weekend:
👉 Click here to join the group
(*note you'll need to download Whatsapp if you don't have it)
🚴♀️ Thursday: More Women More Miles Ride
Time: 12:30 PM
Meet: 8th & Commercial
Finish: Specialized Gravel Shed (ax throwing, coffee, drinks!)
Distance: ~15 miles, casual pace
👉 RSVP here
We’ll cover some key sections of the course, joined by Alison Tetrick (former UNBOUND champ!)—and possibly a few other special guests.
🛍️ Thursday & Friday: Pop-Up at the Expo
Swing by our booth in the Merchant’s Cycle tent, right next to the Chamois Buttr activation. Come say hi!
🚴♀️ UNBOUND 100-Milers: Ride with Ali Tetrick!
Looking to hold a 13–15 mph pace (7–8 hr finish)?
Ali Tetrick wants to ride with YOU!
Ali’s a retired World Tour pro and UNBOUND 200 champion who now focuses on helping women chase big goals. She’s all about support—not intimidation. 🙌
Details:
-
Line up behind the 7-hour sign starting at 7:00 AM
-
Look for the red balloon – I’ll be there with it
-
I can hold your spot if you need a porta-potty/supply run!
Feeling unsure?
If you’re debating whether you can hold this pace, we encourage you to give it a shot. Drafting makes a huge difference, and the early miles are smooth and flat. You can always fall back later—but it’s better than fighting your way forward alone.
Planning to ride with Ali?
Please reply to this email so I have a rough headcount! (You can still show up if you don't RSVP, just figuring out how much space I need to try to hold).
We can’t wait to see you all next week. If you spot Kristi or me, come say hi—we’d love to connect in person!
Until then,
Kathryn
