One of Unbound’s founding families discussed their experiences with the event on KVOE’s Morning Show recently.
The Mohn family — Tim, Kristi, Mason and Sydney — have been involved from the start, with Tim and Kristi both riding during the early years before shifting roles, Tim now with Merchant Cycles, Kristi and Mason now serving as marketing managers and Sydney as an Airbnb manager for the event. Tim Mohn says there’s a clear difference in the event from when he was part of the very first field of riders.
Tim Mohn says the influx of world-level talent over the last decade is impressive to say the least.
Kristi Mohn says there wee a few factors that led to the family’s initial and now, longstanding involvement.
Kristi Mohn says the turning point for the event came with a big move relatively early in the event’s history. Initially in northwest Emporia, the event moved to downtown.
Mason Mohn says there are some core reasons why Unbound stands apart from other gravel cycling races.
Mason Mohn says the ongoing development of Unbound initially surprised him.
Sydney Mohn watched her dad ride, noting the persistence he showed.
With Unbound bringing over 5,000 riders to town — and over 10,000 total to the area — Sydney Mohn urged patience and safety this week.
KVOE, KVOE.com and KVOE social media will have extensive coverage of Unbound Gravel all week. More information about Unbound Gravel is available here.
