Emily Joy Newsom, a professional gravel privateer, started racing on road back in 2013 and after having an impressive career on the road (including racing in the Tour de France Femmes) she started racing gravel where she has been no stranger to podiums!

Continuing on our Unbound series, we talked to Emily about her career, her family, and of course about her (at the time) upcoming Unbound race!

Next up in our lineup of Unbound episodes presented by Lauf, is the one and only LDC! Lauren has been dominating the gravel scene in the last few years with wins at MidSouth, Unbound, and is a two time champ of Gravel Worlds!

In the past year, Lauren has jumped into the privateer life and we were lucky enough to sit down with her again to talk about that change, her new Shopify store which raises money for TBI survivors, and we of course had to talk a little bit about Unbound!
