Personalized Unbound Gravel Race-Day Support for 2025

At Ottawa Bike and Trail, we pride ourselves on offering personalized, race-day support tailored to meet the unique needs of each rider. Each year, we provide this dedicated service to 10-15 riders, which allows us to tailor your experience and ensure your opportunity for success. Unlike most race-day support options, ours begins well before race day. We believe the key to exceptional support lies in getting to know you, your bike, and your race goals ahead of time. This allows us to craft a customized plan to help you achieve your best performance.

Performance Tune-Up Package

The Performance Tune-Up Race-Day Support Package is our most popular option. This comprehensive service starts with a pre-race performance tune-up designed to ensure your bike is in peak condition.

Our tune-up includes:

• Professional tune-up of all mechanical components.

• Full drivetrain disassembly and sonic cleaning to prepare your bike for even the harshest conditions.

• An in-depth evaluation of your bike’s components to identify and address potential issues before they arise.

Using our pre-race tune-up option also gives us the chance to discuss your bike’s specific maintenance needs during the race, ensuring you’re fully prepared for anything the course might throw at you.

Pre-Race Consultation

Our support package includes a 30-minute pre-race consultation, during which we’ll discuss your race plans, goals, and any specific concerns. By understanding your strategy and objectives, we can provide more effective and personalized support to help you achieve your goals.

Mid-Race Support Stop and Bag Drop

When you reach the mid-point checkpoint, we’ll be waiting to provide you with the support you need to finish the race. This includes having your bag and supplies ready for you, providing any mechanical adjustments to your bike, and offering the encouragement you’ll need to keep going. We’ll get you turned around quickly or provide a comfortable place for a rest if that’s your preference. This seamless process allows you to stay focused on the race without worrying about logistics.

White-Glove Receiving, Assembly, and Shipping

For riders traveling from out of town, we offer White-Glove Receiving, Assembly, and Shipping services. Simply send your bike to us ahead of time, and we’ll:

• Assemble your bike and ensure it’s race-ready upon your arrival.

• Pack and ship your bike back home after the race.

• Provide delivery and pick-up services to and from Emporia if needed.
