    Late Night with Gravel Guru - This is Gravel EP:910

    Late Night with Gravel Guru - This is Gravel EP:910 On this special edition of This is Gravel Neil and Matt head downtown to the finish line of Unbound Gravel. Though they saw the finishers sprinting down Commercial Street with the helicopter and drones hovering about that's not the content they wanted to bring out this year. Instead, they chose to be there for the final three hours of the finish line. They started their interviews for the day at midnight 17 and a half hours after the race began. This is just a snippet of some of the riders that finished Unbound Gravel in the final three hours of the day leading up to 3:00am.  Do you have any show ideas or questions you want to have answered?
