Love watching you two ride, especially when Syd leads. Syd your technique is so smooth.

Beautiful to watch, isn't it? -M

I think because she is skinnier and leaner than any of the guys on here it is easier to see her move around on the bike. It definitely helps me learn

I ate crap so hard on that trail both times I’ve rode it. Last time in October last year I cracked a rib and still had to ride 15 miles back to the Safeway parking lot! That sucked, third time’s a charm I guess.

Brutal! Yeah, third time's the charm!

Great video! Bugs + Molino (+ Millie) is great fun with great views! I live at the base of Mt. Lemmon, but, even so, I'll shuttle up rather than ride (see: suffer) all the way up... and then that .25mi hike-a-bike. Blech. Well done. I hope this winter training in AZ is going well for you guys. Cheers.

@martronattebery9675 6 жыл бұрын

i feel like the difficulty rankings on those 2 trails are switched. Bug Springs is supposed to be higher rating but i'm almost positive Prison camp is a little more demanding. Anyone else feel that way? Also I'm pretty sure you beat my strava time, its in the 1400s for Prison Camp lol

@sydandmacky 6 жыл бұрын

Interesting. I find Bugs harder overall, but I can sorta see what you're saying... -M

@Mjolnir125 5 жыл бұрын

The upper part of bugs is much harder than prison camp. The lower part of bugs is similar to prison camp. Prison camp doesn't have the larger drops and rolls.

@OliverBatchelor 6 жыл бұрын

Chasing Strava segments I guess would be quite similar to race training for Enduro I guess? My issue with MTB segments is that I am suspicious that half of them are now e-bike users!

@sydandmacky 6 жыл бұрын

That's certainly not a bad way, but I think the better use of Strava segments is to be able to compare your previous times and trying to beat yourself. It's a good way to figure out how to make up time on a trail you already know. And then you don't have to worry about e-bikes -M

@OliverBatchelor 6 жыл бұрын

Good point! After all the only segments I'll be the KOM are obscure places and odd variations... but it's great to see progression. Sometimes it's fun to see how close to the "best" you can be though.

What goes into a Summit Burrito? Is it something other than PBnJ? Enjoyed the video!

@sydandmacky 6 жыл бұрын

In this case, they were steak and egg breakfast burritos. Normally it's something like that or beans and rice!

Hey Syd/Macky (S'Macky?), I'm entering my first enduro race ever in April :) The You Yangs Enduro Wars here in Australia. I'm just scared of entering as an Elite instead of a Sport woman for fear of being absolutely wrecked in the leader board haha. Also my rear wheel is so broken that my tyre leaks air if I pull at the tyre, possibly not the best way to start. Might need to chuck an inner tube in there...

@sydandmacky 6 жыл бұрын

You got this! In my opinion, always race the highest category you feel comfortable doing, as long as your ego can take it. 😁 That way, all the people around you will push you to get faster. And yeah, might be time for some new rubber... -M

@Candesce 6 жыл бұрын

SYD and MACKY thanks for the tip Macky :) I'm going to try some race pace runs tomorrow and see how I stack up against last year before making my mind up. Also, more like time for a new rear wheel haha. I've got my eye on a bontrager line pro.
