Ep 195 Dan Hughes Unbound Gravel Racing Legend, and now Lifetime Events Photographer

Join me as I welcome Dan Hughes, Gravel racing Hall of Famer and the only 4 time winner of the prestigious Unbound Gravel Race, well actually 5 time if you count the time on the tandem! Dan shares his insights on what it takes to tackle some of the toughest ultra events in the world from Unbound to the Trans Iowa. We touch on some of his career highlights, his life growing up in the bike business and ultimate ownership of Sunflower Outdoor and Bike shop, as well as his fitting wedding proposal to his wife Paulina. Getting Dan to share how much of a bad ass he is was pretty tough as Dan is an incredibly humble guy, but a humble guy that is a beast of a competitor and that combination has really served him in his racing career and in his life. Whether you are a seasoned gravel enthusiast or just starting out, Dan's expertise and enthusiasm will leave you inspired to hit the trails and maybe take on a big challenge. With my first Unbound experience coming up next week I thought it would be fitting to have Dan join me and share some of his insights. Dan's racing career is on pause for now as he has a new role as a photographer and content producer for Lifetime events, So he will still be very much involved with Unbound as he captures the race in pictures. Hope you enjoy this one as much as I did.
