How do you rebuild your fitness after years off the bike? My friend Mark Still has an idea and it isn't subtle.

He's fallen away from riding bikes in recent years and suffered the consequences in more ways than one. From extra weight to other health issues, not to mention the mental health ramifications of leaving bikes out of his life, the consequences of continuing on his current path are too dire. He has decided to rebuild himself and reignite his love of bikes. How will he do it? 

Enter Unbound Gravel 200. 

Rebuild Mark is a project that aims to get Mark back out riding by putting the biggest, gnarliest gravel event in the United States on his calendar with an impossibly short time horizon to be ready. It's a put up or shut up sort of ultimatum.

And if you're in a similar position, well, this might be a good time for you to Rebuild [INSERT YOUR NAME HERE]. Let us know if you're on this journey too, and we can hold each other accountable. 

See you in Kansas!
