It's Simulation Ride Time! Kristen & Nick Legan

Nick & Kristen Legan Season 2 Episode 4

It’s Simulation Ride Time!

We’re about four weeks out from Unbound and it’s officially simulation ride time! KP and Nick break down what a “simulation ride” actually means - a full dress rehearsal for race day, tailored to your specific goals and experience level. We dive into five key areas to practice during your next long ride: your pre-race routine, gear setup, nutrition and hydration strategy, support crew planning, and how to structure the ride itself. Whether you’re gunning for a 200-mile haul or dialing in your prep with a shorter effort, this episode is packed with practical advice to help you build confidence and fine-tune every detail before you hit the start line.


The Fun-Bound Gravel Podcast is hosted by the Legans, Kristen and Nick. With years of Unbound and gravel coaching experience, they share their insights and those of their expert guests to help you have the best time possible at Unbound Gravel. Detailed course previews, equipment suggestions, training tips, and efficient checkpoints are just some of the topics discussed. And of course, you'll get to hear from the top athletes, organizers, and people who make gravel such a special cycling space.
