Raw Files - Unbound Gravel 2024

Starting off the 2024 Raw Files Series with a bang! This was HANDS DOWN the most competitive and intense race I've ever been a part of.

I was having a magical "chain-less" day until my tire went flat at mile 103. Still proud of my effort here and can't wait to go back for another go in 2025!
