I Raced The World’s Top Gravel Pros. Was I Ready?

Alex Paton has been training harder and smarter in the past five months than he has in the last five years! It’s all been in preparation for the legendary gravel race, Unbound. Now, he’s here to find out if all that hard work has paid off. He’s at the Sea Otter Lifetime Grand Prix to race against the pros and see if his training for Unbound has been worth it.
