The wind and weather on Unbound Gravel 200
Unbound Gravel 200 is the race that made gravel famous: about 200 miles of Flint Hills gravel, starting and finishing on Commercial Street in Emporia, Kansas, with a cut-off in the early hours of the next morning.
Early June in the Flint Hills is usually hot and humid, and a steady southerly wind often blows across the open, treeless prairie, so long southbound legs can be a grind while northbound ones fly. It’s also storm season: rain can turn the roads to mud, and afternoon thunderstorms bring sudden wind shifts. Riders are out from dawn to well after dark, so the forecast follows your own hours on the course. Set your start and pace above, in miles or kilometres. The wind on every stretch appears once the route is added to this page.
