Why don't you do a story of how Velocitized drivers cut off cyclists and aren't aware of the terror they cause? Drivers that come off the highway experience a slow motion effect, for the rest of the day. Are you not interested in why most folks don't cycle? Terror keeps them away. Same when they wear dark clothing and have a few too many close calls, due to invisibility. Why don't you support maximum visibility, which makes for a happy ride?

Many thanks for taking the time to tell us of the 'ups & downs' of these ultra events, Chris. Very open and honest, without 'sugar-coating' the realities of solo long-distance riding. Haven't done anything quite that long, but I have completed a couple of Trans-Alp (1/2 'Rando Imperator') Randonee events. Respect & kudos to you.sir ;-)

It's interesting to hear about Chris's experience and achievements, but as mentioned by many, for those of us who would want to learn more about ultra distance, a video on details about setup, equipment, nutrition, bikefit etc would be even more interesting. Cycling weekly tends to be too much of a branded advertisement in every video, barely scratching the surface over some sexy b-roll product placement. Step up your game!

I get stared at alot in public because of how fit i look with grey hair. I'm 52 but I have the body of a 35 year old and I feel like I did back then. But it's hard work, I'm consistent and I ride hard. That's my secret. When I was 25 riding I never once thought of the future benefits I would gain regarding my overall health. I just realized this in my mid 40's when I would look around and see that I didn't look like other guys my age. I looked like a young man. My mental state is also free. Intense cardio has lit the fire within me. But the secret is consistency, so I try to tell people that are in there younger years to start early. Build your fortress against sickness and disease.

Over 4000 riders do Paris-Brest-Paris every four years, and that is 1200kms in 90 hours or less. Fully self-supported. Other countires have equivalent events, and London-Edinburgh-London is 1400 kms. Interview any of them.

7:58 gear ratios are not a reason to prefer a gravel bike. It's a reason to change the gear ratios on the road bike. You can put GRX on a road bike, 46-30 / 11-34 or even 11-36

This bike was really easy to assemble kzfaq.infoUgkxMesz3KOGEmwmvyKQfLfrRSUXLFzfVHZA and required very few adjustments out of the box. The wheels did not require any truing/adjustments. The frame had some small scratches, but nothing major.I did replace the seat though - the seat it came with was very uncomfortable. The tires need to be re-inflated every 4-5 days, but this appears to be quite common for the narrow 700x25 tires.Overall, in my opinion, this bike looks and rides like a much more expensive bike.

The Aspero is among the very few dropped seatstay bikes that can visually compare to (although hardly surpass) many a proper (read: more sloping tube and seatstays continuing from there) bike. Possibly, the handsomest of all dropped seatstay designs in existence today. For, as a rule, horizontal top tube / dropped seatstay frames are downright ugly.

I know the states are a little bit different I often wonder about the same scenario as I'm gravel riding in the backwoods in the country a lot of places here in the states that are backwards and country are not very welcoming especially if you look like you don't fit in. There's usually a ultra compact 9 mm in my top tube bag!

Wow wearing dark clothes and going fast! Do you stop at stop signs? Do you have time to chat? Why not do a story about how Velocitized drivers terrorize cyclists? When cars come off the highway, the drivers cut off cyclists and aren't even aware of it. Dark clothes make you invisible to drivers wearing dark sunglasses in the shadows. They also make weasels look thin.
