Did you ride? I did threshold; 3x18min @ 94%. I also massively screwed up my breakfast afterwards! I forgot I added a double portion of Weetabix as a single serving in Hexis. Cue me being ravenously hungry come lunch short over 50g of carbs I should've refueled with! Audited my whole custom food library afterwards to avoid that in the future.

This is worth a listen and they mention most bike brands including the chinese brands. What Is The Best Race Bike Of 2026?

@Marc Wildeman has created an amazing spreadsheet for those attending & supporting Unbound Gravel. This is a fantastic asset to share details on lodgings, available vehicles and the number of people that potentially can pass out food/bottles/high fives on the day :-) If you are attending Unbound have a look, add your details and lets all support each other for this epic ride! https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1DjvroKZSnejzK4hfBfRJimbSXBRfgJNsw06wXrnbyRQ/edit?usp=sharing Also, lets use this thread to put any questions around the event into.

What was the biggest win you had this week? I’m still rehabbing a shoulder injury. The temptation is to chill on everything but I’m staying focused on diet and controlling what I can control.

I'm getting ready to make a purchase on a Lauf Seigla and looking at sizing. All measurements point toward a small frame, but when looking at geometry, my current bike stack to handlebar measurement is bigger than their XL. Current bike is based on Retul fit measurements (fitter is a bad listener, but followed the Retul system so maybe not bad data). I'd have to really really build up the stem to get to my current measurement, and had a thought that going up to a medium would reduce some of that need. Asked Lauf and they say stick with small. I know Lauf states it has a more aerodynamic/race geometry, but why am I so far off and need so much buildup? Or maybe the overall geometry will reveal a different fit?? The goal for this bike is to do unbound 100 and then settle into more bike packing adventures, so the race fit isn't high priority but comfort on long gravel days is. Wanted Lauf because the price point is so good. Any other bike so far increases price and weight significantly. Thoughts?
