REBOUND
Rediscover your own backyard, build your own route and push as much gravel as you want. We 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 event in the world, that starts wherever you want it to start. Inspired by the original event in Kansas 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. This year's 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. The event takes place on the same day as UNBOUND, worldwide. Starting time is 06.00 am. Every cyclist is admitted. Create your own 200 mile route or use an existing route, but make sure to put in as much gravel as possible. Two rest-stops are allowed to fuel up and to get snacks and supplies. And last but not least: an after-party, big or small, is mandatory.
In order to make this event transparent and inspirational for everybody, we invite our participants 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 200 miles like that, you need to start training for a distance like this. Just like our four candidates did this year. 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?
