The history of gravel racing - cycling's newest trend is older than it looks

Paris Roubaix 1937

At this year’s Unbound Gravel, 4,000 cyclists took to the start line to race across the famed Flint Hills of Kansas, with event distances ranging from 50 to 350 miles. 

The 200-miler marquee event is also part of the Life Time Grand Prix Series, a seven-race series with a $250,000 prize purse contested by 70 handpicked professionals, including ex-WorldTour riders such as Peter Stetina, Alexey Vermeulen, Alex Howes, Kiel Reijnen, Lachlan Morton, Ruth Winder and Emily Newsom.
