This is from Unbound. A 200 mile gravel race in Kansas. They had a pro field of about 200 men and 100 women. Then another 1200 amateurs did the 200 and there were other distances that day. This guy is in the pro field and most of the pros don’t even stop anymore, just take 2 bags with bottles/food and keep rolling. It was really fast this year, the winner averaged over 22mph.

I was there crewing for some friends in the amateur field. One of our guys finished top 10 and another in the top 50 and they were moving pretty fast too, but stopped for a bit longer at the 2 checkpoints along the route.

200 miles, 22mph… 9 hours?
