Welcome to a new video series, “Rebuild Mark.” As the title suggests, I’ve fallen apart a bit in recent years, and it’s time that changes.
How do you rebuild your fitness after years off the bike? My name is Mark Still and I’m about to find out. I’ve fallen away from riding bikes in recent years, and suffered the consequences in more ways than one.
From extra weight to other health issues, not to mention the mental health ramifications of leaving bikes out of my life, the consequences of continuing on my current path are too dire. I need to rebuild myself and reignite my love of bikes. How will I do it?
Enter Unbound Gravel.
Rebuild Mark is a project that aims to get me back out riding by putting the biggest, gnarliest gravel event in the United States on my calendar with an impossibly short time horizon to be ready. It’s a put up or shut up sort of ultimatum for myself.
I’ll need all the help I can get so help hold me accountable on Strava and comment with some words of encouragement or heckle me or whatever you feel like. It will all help.
And if you’re in a similar position, well, this might be a good time for you to Rebuild______________ [INSERT YOUR NAME HERE]. Let me know if you’re on this journey too, and we can hold each other accountable. Rebuild Mark is about us, not just me.
See you in Kansas!
