Good luck to all our coaching clients, my teammate and friends riding Dirty Reiver tomorrow, it's always one of the best days on the bike each year. Sad to not be there this year but i'm looking forward to hearing all the stories.

Still had just enough energy after The Traka to crack a smile with the legends at Precision Fuel & Hydration! A huge thank you to all their staff for their top tier support all week, from sweat testing, to personalized fuelling plans, to race day feed zone assistance.

Mixed emotions after The Gralloch, beforehand I’d have been happy with fourth but first man off the podium in a four way sprint for the win is never fun. Still proud of the effort and grateful for the chance to be racing at the front of such a big UCI gravel event.

This past weekend 2392 riders from 35 countries would race the Gralloch which is part of the UCI Gravel Series. After leading for the majority of the day I sprinted for the win finishing fourth. Here's my story from the event: benthomascoaching.com/post/gralloch-…

After years of racing as a privateer and traveling solo to events it’s amazing to now have the support of the dedicated Ribble team staff at each race. The athletes and staff from Ribble Outliers absolutely smashed it in Scotland with a 3rd, 4th and 8th in the two elite races.

So close to the win at Gralloch… but not quite. Fourth place still stings. But it's only made me more determined. Next stop, Unbound, the biggest gravel race in the world. One week to sharpen up, refocus, and give it everything. I’m back in training with more hunger than ever.

Just like that another unforgettable adventure comes to a close. Unbound and our RV road trip from Chicago to Emporia and back proved even wilder than expected.

Unbound Gravel isn't just a race, it's the race. With 5,000 riders lining up in the heart of Kansas, it's the biggest gravel showdown on the planet and a true bucket list event. Here's my story from last weekends race. benthomascoaching.com/post/unbound20…

After the epic adventure at Unbound and the long travel days a mid season break was well timed. Now the legs are waking back up and I’m excited to ramp up training again. No races this month but I'll be riding some alternative events with friends, Oxduro and then Stone Circle.
