This race coverage is so perfect for former racers who want to enjoy the sounds and experience of the race. No music, no commentating, just the raw sound of racing!

As a father myself, I’d just like to say that your Dad would be so very proud of you. Way to go. Awesome riding and great video too!

I’ve watched at least 13,000 Unbound recap videos and your on bike footage describes the “suck”  better than any of them.
Great job out there!

WOW! Everyone who rode and finished this race are F’N SAVAGES!  Congrats on the podium finish and to pull it off in front of your family on top of all of it. 🎉.  You could tell who made poor tire choices!

Congratulations, don't stop chasing a challenge  I'm 73 and still chasing the challenge, don't stop until YOU know when to

Congratulations Lo you have racked up another achievement on list of very notable accomplishments.  God bless your family and prayers for your Father. I know he was very proud of you and his pride in you would be amplified by your performance.

Right off the top, condolences to you and your family. Your father passing is so hard. I'm gonna watch you race now.❤

This was such an incredible watch. The POV footage was excellent, and the camera work and editing with your husband made the whole video feel so immersive and well told. Your strength, honesty, and humor throughout the race were seriously inspiring. Finishing Unbound 100 and taking 3rd is amazing. I am also so sorry for the loss of your father. That part really got me and made me choke up a bit. You are inspiring so many new riders like me. Hope to meet you at the start line sometime.

Congrats "You are an Unbound Finisheerrrrrrrrrr" Welcome to gravel family!  Now it's time to get ready for Leadville 100! Get SUM!

Un-freaking-bound! Sweet!

The whole time I kept thinking "this is no joke." The lightning captures, the harrowing slippage of the riders in the mud, the dicey footing when carrying your bike along BARBED WIRE. Best thing I've watched in months. Cheers from Wichita!

You are a beast! Physically and mentally!

Lo, so glad I had the opportunity to meet you and Joe recently. I'm sorry to hear of your father's passing, I'd imagine he'd be very proud of you and your accomplishments.
Great to watch you race and do so well. That race is no joke!Looking forward to watching you more often.
Much success to you and best of wishes in all you do and wherever  this leads you.
Hugs from pink peddles.

Dear Laura,
You are a great storyteller! It’s wonderful to hear you speak with such emotion, describing what this race means to you. Every time you talk about your father, it brings a lump to my throat, but I’m sure he was watching you battle through that insane mud and give it your all.
I competed in a MTB marathon race in torrential rain when I lived in Brazil, and I know how much willpower it takes to finish a grueling ordeal like that.
You are amazing; keep following your journey and enjoying every moment. You are a superhero !!

Another massive achievement! So proud of you and grateful for the knowledge you bestow upon me here (and on the trail 🥰). Your race videos are now a staple in our family and we must watch together (including Charley 🐶).

My wife and I first saw you and Joe over on the Sid and Mackay channel (I wondered why they didn't do the Unbound) and I simply had to watch this, when Youtube recommended it to me.
This was a fantastic video to watch. Very well put together, very entertaining and all round, just a really cool video (it felt like I was actually there, thanks for taking us along for the ride!)
What a job on the day, truly, hats off to you (and Joe for his support).
EXCELLENT job of navigating that (for a lack of a better word) chaotic-shitshow, WHILE getting it all on film, not only completing the challenge but also ending up on the podium.
You have a BEAUT of an S-Works, wowzers!
Regards, from South Africa (P.S. perhaps time to revisit Africa, in the form of the Gravel Burn...?)

I love the cycle of: dry/sunny... downpour... you're now riding down a road made completely of mud... The gravel tires of the riders in front of you kick up enough mud to coat your entire body and bike.... dry/sunny again.... downpour returns, washing off all of the mud.... roads turn back into mud... gravel tires cover you in mud again...

You're a beast! Thanks for Sharing Lo!

Congrats :-)
And thanks ladies - when I rode and hearing cheers as we road an event

What an amazing ride!  Sorry to hear about your dad passing.  No doubt the powers of the heavens descended some that day and gave you a few extra watts in those pedals!  Congrats!

You did awesome! Tough girl, great coverage.
