You guys are tough. i don't care if it is flat, that's a real show of endurance. Hot sun reflected off the pavement. Florida is known to be humid. Then you make it look easy. Lots of cars too. Good nobody got hurt.

I live in San Diego, CA, but for some reasons, it seems like the rides over there are more relaxing because of the flat rides and better views of beaches, over hanging trees on the road, and looks warmer. Maybe one day I move there when my kids finished college.

The grass is not necessarily greener on the other side of the country 😅 Definitely check it out before committing to a move.

Interesting video and thanks for sharing. The main thing is to measure and maintain your effort also the combination of cassette/crankset lenght but also stem lenght and seat post adjustment is very important. When I did road bike competition I was always tought that. I however noticed that some people cut their ahead set for steerer too short which main result over the long run in pain aches or injuries. It is worse if you are into cross country or free ride or enduro riding.On a side note, I have been to Florida for a business indeed a great state and great people there too

I don't know if it's a matter of film shots, but I am surprised how few riders had front and back lights on. I never ride my bike, no matter the time of the day or the weather, without lights on the back and front. That being said, well done. I personally would not have the endurance to do the same.

Awesome story telling about your ride with this video. The start of the ride when the sun came up seemed crazy beautiful. Was this considered a randonneuring ride? The long distance and the stops/checkpoints seem to fall in line with the rando style of riding. The difference being the SAG team meeting you at the stops.

Mate! That was awesome! Any chance you could share the GPS file? I am particularly interested in your route through Ft Lauderdale. That place does not seem to have a pleasant route through it, esp around the airport, and has thus far stopped me from riding North from Miami. As the school year is coming to a close, my son and I are looking for new challenging routes. He's 16 and just did his first century 2-3 weeks back. What you said about the upper body giving out first is spot on as well. I told my son "you're about to find 15 new hand positions on your bars" during his century. And he did! I'm new to the channel and love everything I have seen so far! Keep it up!

Great channel and video. What would be cool is if you discussed bib choice, chamois cream, etc. I personally find that the correct good quality bib is central to a good ride. Also, I notice your jerseys have no logos or graphics beyond simple patterns. Tell us about that also…. Just some thoughts. I ride Bucks county PA and we have hills. When I ride the shore it is so flat (34 miles, 300 feet elevation). This makes me like a good climb. How do you manage so much flat terrain????

I'd never heard of "bridge repeats" until I lived in Florida. Came there from Seattle''s amazing hills. My 100 kilo clydesdale frame beat the FL riders up every bump. Poor Floridian riders.
