I was too shy to say hello, oof. Next time. This was my first bike race/event, and my first century, and I’m hoping you had as much fun riding bikes in my home state as I did! Cheers Phil!

    I appreciate you not "racing" Unbound Gravel, but by all means come ride it. Kansans would love to have you visit.
    I like to see people crushing these courses, but what was once an incredibly hard race that could be won by an amateur or domestic pro, is now just an endurance ride/fondo for basically anyone that isn't a current or former World Tour Pro. As a native Kansan, I used to want to race it if I won the "lottery". Now, I don't really see the point in even riding it. I can ride all the Kansas gravel I want, any day I want. $200+ to crush myself and be pack fodder in my own "backyard"? Why?

    • @lechprotean
      @lechprotean 2 года назад +4

    I like your vibe here, Phil, just showing up and being a friendly celebrity roadie on dirt and enjoying the day. And sure, the retired pros gunning for glory on gravel has its place, but I'm not sure that place has been dialed yet. It seems a bit cheesy to pound everyone else into submission in what is akin to an all-day music festival under the banner of peace and love and bikes and dirt. I'm all for racing and long gravel roads seem epic for it, just that it seems to be maybe bandwagon jumping or something, like dirt ain't the best but O well, it pays. And that Coke question had to be a joke, no? Hopefully, anyway, but it could be an emerging trend among gravel riders, soda snobs. Yikes and I grin, respectfully suggesting that everyone drink RC Cola when they need something refreshing under the cover of smoke.
