WHY YOU SHOULD RIDE REBOUND TOO

Rediscover your own backyard, build your own route and push as much gravel as you want. We continue to make this the biggest gravel event in the world. And the best thing: it starts at your doorstep. REBOUND is likely to be your next cycling goal and this is why.

UNBOUND/REBOUND

When people are asking Laurens what race he will be riding this year, UNBOUND or REBOUND, you know this event is becoming a big deal. REBOUND is the only free of charge, do-it-yourself gravel cycling event in the world, that starts wherever you want it to start. Inspired by the original event in Kansas, UNBOUND Gravel, and created in the aftermath of Covid-19, REBOUND aims to give every cyclist the opportunity to do a major cycling event, without the hustle and costs of travel. In collaboration with Shimano, we took this event to another level. In the 2024 edition, we crossed 6 continents and rode 4.452.229 miles! Now that is one world, united in gravel.

RULES

To have all the noses pointed in the same direction and really get that 'we are in this together' vibe going, there are only a few rules. REBOUND takes place on the same day as UNBOUND, worldwide. For 2025, it is going to be Saturday May 31!

- Starting time is 06.00 am.
- Every cyclist is admitted.
- Create your own 15-, 25-, 50-, 100- or, the OG event distance: 200 mile route, and make sure to put in as much gravel as possible.
- Two rest-stops are allowed to fuel up and to get snacks and supplies. The rest you carry with you on the bike.
- And last but not least: an after-party, big or small, is mandatory :)

In order to make this gravel cycling event transparent and inspirational for everybody, we invite our participants not only to register for free at rebound.cc but also to join our REBOUND STRAVA Challenge. Routes and distances will then be uploaded and counted in. Bonus: you get a chance at winning some amazing prizes, like a VIP day at the Tour de France!

ROAD TO REBOUND

Not everybody can digest a 200 miles gravel ride like that, you need to start training for a distance like this. Just like our four candidates did in 2024. Together with JOIN Cycling, they started their training routine three months earlier. In four episodes of the series 'The Long Way Home' we follow each of these warriors as they get ready for D-Day. Will Polly, Jarle, Sophia and Willie succeed at completing the enormous distance of 200 miles?

JOIN US

Let's make the 2025 edition our biggest one yet. Everybody is welcome and invited to join the party. Let's reach 5.000.000 miles worldwide and cover every continent by bike. Follow us on social media and get yourself subscribed to the REBOUND newsletter on the website. Mark the 31st of May in your agenda and start training!

Who we are

LSRF

Born and raised in the home of cycling, the Netherlands - a continuous source of inspiration with its long beaches and vast dunes, woods and heath lands, cities and small towns.

LSRF focusses on performance, no matter the conditions. We demand the best of ourselves - our clothing should also match that attitude. Tested in real life, under extreme conditions, on adventures all over the world, we want our jerseys and bibs to keep up with our pace. 

With ex-pro roadie turned into ultra-gravel-adventurer Laurens ten Dam as one of our founding fathers and main ambassador, we take pride in our knowledge of this game called cycling and what it demands of their players.
