Unbound Gravel sends many riders down rabbitholes of tech speculation as to how to traverse 200 treacherous miles of Kansas gravel safety, quickly, and as efficiently as possible. Chase Wark takes it to another level, though. Chase is one of 60 competitors in the $250,000 Life Time Grand Prix, of which Unbound Gravel is the marquee event. I caught up with Chase on the plains of Kansas — not too far from Chase County — and asked him about his heavily modified Lauf Seigla. Thanks to Richard Pool for the fun thumbnail pic - and for suffering my antics all morning. - The Ride is supported in 2024 by: Castelli clothing: http://tinyurl.com/43k6pftp Perc Coffee: https://tinyurl.com/etzyekwr (save 15% with code 'ride15') Giro helmets: http://tinyurl.com/72svzzxp Silca maintenance: https://bit.ly/47xxvzj (save 10% with code 'theride') First Endurance nutrition: https://bit.ly/41SDgqq (save 20% with code 'THERIDE') Shimano shoes & glasses: http://tinyurl.com/ye274tep Feedback Sports stands & tools: https://bit.ly/3S9Dq8r
