My Journey to Unbound XL - Chapter 1: Can I ride 24 Hours of 2-Mile Loops?

This is Chapter 1 of my journey to one of gravel cycling's most brutal challenges, Unbound XL. In September 2025, I created a 24-hour test around Wash Park in Denver - riding 2.25-mile loops with a goal of covering 325 miles. Inspired by backyard ultramarathons, I set a pace of 6 laps per hour, every hour. To date, my longest ride had been 200 miles in 18 hours. This would push me further - physically, mentally, and through the darkest hours of the night. With ten friends rotating through shifts to keep me company, I set out to see if it would be even feasible to apply for Unbound XL. Follow along as I battle fatigue, doubt, and endless loops around a park in pursuit of a bigger dream.

The Unbound XL is a 350+ mile self-supported gravel race starting in Emporia, Kansas. With 17,000 feet of climbing and a 36-hour cutoff, many of those who start don't finish.
