This episode recaps the Unbound 350 XL gravel race with Scott Myers and John Skarupa, who finished 6th and 7th. For those who don’t know, the 350 XL starts at 3 PM the day before the rest of the distances start, and the racers ride through the night, stopping at gas stations to refuel.  It’s a long difficult race, not just because it’s 24 hours (if you are fast) but because the flint hills of Kansas and the weather will challenge your grit and your spirit. We talk about their build to this race, their strategy, their bike set up, fueling, pacing, and more. 75% of the 350XL field did not finish the race this year, which makes John and Scott's success even more impressive.  Have a listen!
