“Man, what a day. Pretty lost for words. I thought a win here was beyond me at this point. I changed my approach in the month leading up to this and focused on enjoying the riding I was doing, no getting caught up in what anyone else was doing and drawing a firm line before the fun stopped. My hope was that regardless of the result I could be content knowing I’d done it the way I wanted without compromising my simple enjoyment of heading out on the bike for a different mission everyday. I assumed that approach would impede, in some way, my ability to compete at the high level required. It’s so validating to know that wasn’t true. I raced with what I had, found a like minded rider and we took the race on. It required me to pull on all the experience Ive gained from road, ultra and mtb. Thanks for all the messages and support on course, means a lot.” – Lachlan Morton, 2024 Unbound Gravel Champion
