The last feedback portion is more of what we need. A reality check for the average cyclist. Spending thousands of dollars and taking days off of work to trash your bike in 15 miles sure doesn't sound like a lot of fun to me.

it’s 2am, and you’ve officially motivated me to get up, strip my bike completely, clean it out, re-grease everything, and put it back together

Congrats! I was there and Finished the XL on 20th with 31hours. I know exactly what u went through. Im from Brazil and was hard tô explain tô my friends how insane was this Race. Your vídeo ilustrate very well! I will send it to Everyone. Im so grateful, had mecânical Issues too, flat tires, the whole stuff. But i made it. And this vídeo shows how Big was the achievement.

Been looking forward to this one. I'm impressed with how well you did in those conditions. Still can't get over the barbed wire thing. I feel like I would have missed that and ended up in the emergency room. Also, if I ever do this race, I now know to pack a spare derailleur hanger, chain, and basically enough parts to build a whole other bike while on the side of the road, at night, with just a hex wrench.

My husband finished the 200 miler last year and was training for the entire year for the 350. He put so much effort and hours into his training and so much thought into his bike set up. We were prepared for this thing. And then his bike broke at 120 miles. I totally agree with you regarding the last part of your video. This wasn't a gravel bike race. The amount of time he spent into training for this, the money that we spent into taking time off of work, flights, hotels...I feel like it was disrespectful for the race organizers to do this to the cyclists and then be so dismissive of the feedback afterwards. We are still debating trying to go back next year.

"I'm doin' Trigonometry to try and figure out how this chain works".... HAHAHA

Im glad you spoke up about the course. Finally, someone said what the majority of people thought. I've seen so many videos of bike frames destroyed. I know we cant race in perfect conditions, but that was a nightmare. I was actually looking foward to unbound but after this year its been checked off my list.

I work in the industry so I'm in a similar position you are, figured I'd do the 100, be a fast fun 6hr spin through the country after being on my feet working all week, wasn't expecting 2.5hrs of hiking...I dig hard rides, and tough challenges, but that was ridiculous, and like you was thinking "how many normies out here will never be back? Never want to ride again?"...definitely far from our finest hour.

Holyyyyy shizzza man that mechanical work in the dark…. NUTS. The mental fortitude to get that thing working again had me laughing it was so impressive. I bet 99% people would have just given up once they had the chain and derailleur off in such a twisted mess. One of the best recoveries I’ve ever seen!!

VC, for me this is your best Dirty Kanza/Unbound film to date. I really liked how you provided context for those participants who are there solely on their own dime, ultimately paying for their efforts (and equipment repairs) post-race, versus equipment sponsored individuals like yourself - and I don’t think that any of us on the viewing end got the sense of any douche-canoeing on your behalf! You were genuinely determined not to make it about the equipment for yourself. You’re honest and straightforward about it, and it gave great context to the overall experience. It’s still a great story and you’re a talented narrator of your experiences - we could be sitting around at a table drinking coffee, and that’s how you’re talking with your friends, not an audience of fans. There’s a difference, and it’s what sets you apart from others. Ride all the bikes, man, ride all the bikes.

Thank you for the ending part. It really resonates with who and what these types of experiences are. Hopefully the organizers can keep it a popular gravel cycling event in the future years with changes to help alleviate the things happen issues that may crop up.

I did the 200 this year. You convinced me to do it (: Mile 11 was BS. I got a DNF at the first check point... Ultra Cyclocross? Ive never walked my bike for so long before. After rubbing most of the skin off my heals I was questioning if Kansas knows the difference between dirt and gravel? Someone should tell them gravel is made of rock. I didn't have a great time seeing so many trashed bikes. But I've got to go back next year for redemption! Next year I'm going to finish before sundown and next year I'm going to see you on the podium!

I would have made the same call in your shoes, and I thought you were gracious in your opinions of the race organizers 😂 Hopefully this video will serve to prevent the organizers from allowing stuff like this to happen again. Really proud of you, and it’s your content that made me want to do this race, motivated me to train for it, and gave me the best day I’ve ever had on the bike! Be a goldfish! (Ted Lasso)

No matter what anyone says, you did absolutely amazing, a lot of people would have given up when their bike broke down, but you just shoved a stick in it and soldiered through. You have my absolute respect

Amen. I was there. I raced the 200 and I finished. Am I happy I did it? Maybe. Would I have raced this year knowing it would destroy my bike? No. This year’s UB wasn’t a bike race. Hope Lifetime listens to the feedback they’ve received, and are less defensive about the decisions they made about the course (Google comments from Kimo Seymour regarding the aftermath. PR fail). Keep posting and sharing awesome content, Tyler. Not only do you share the good the bad and the ugly, you share it all with humility and class. 👊🏼

Hey VC. My dad passed away a couple days ago, only 2 weeks after his 60th birthday. He collapsed randomly while on a mountain bike group ride. As a whole family of cyclist who happen to be vegan, we have always been fans of you. But he was your biggest fan. He rode ALL THE BIKES (road gravel mountain). If you ever posted a video he'd be one of the first to watch it and always ask me when I would go over "did you watch the new vegan cyclist video?" I just wanted to leave this comment here for you so you know how much of an impact you made on him. His name was Clermont Couture. So the next time you go for a KOM, take the crown in honor of my old man.

Not giving up when all odds were against you during the mechanical is so amazing. You are a true inspiration Tyler. Telling the truth for people who don't have a platform and were negatively impacted by the course is something to admire.

Just insane production. Feeling absolutlely blessed to be able to watch such content. Greetings from Berlin, GER

I love the grit, humour, struggle, and everything in this video. It's mad insane. Struggle makes the best stories.

Tyler, not only the muddy section, but having the Pros sprinting in the middle of the amateur riders arriving at the end was freaking dangerous, even worse than the mud section. I think the organizers failed on this event, I would be pissed if I was there and having to walk for 1h into the first 10 miles and having to abandon the event that quick.

Tyler, you are THE best storyteller in the solar system. I've been waiting for this video ever since I learned of your participation. Did not disappoint. These race videos are great! More entertaining than the "Hardest" series.

Don't even get me started on the entry fees for a SELF SUPPORTED, no road closure race such as this! Money grab if you ask me...which no one did..lol. Keep it up man.

You captured the the essence of this years race. I made an attempt at the 100 largely in-part to seeing your previous rides at DK/Unbound. Bike was dialed, fitness and 15 week training plan dialed and complete, loved every minute of the experience of UG 2023. Highlight was the Eliel group ride with you and chatting for a few minutes while riding. (I'm the guy who used to weigh 400lbs (@cd2fit)). Everyone telling folks to "toughen up, it's part of Unbound" have a good point. BUT, for those that actually went to the riders meeting on Friday night heard the RD say that they were concerned about the section in question and it would be an easy re-route at mile 11. Well it's on them for not recognizing how bad it was going to be. I planned hydration and fuel to get me to the 42 mile water stop, roughly 4hrs or so. That went out the window having to hike a bike for 3+ miles that ate up 2.5 hours. I was done at 25 miles even with a kind rider giving me a bottle. Will I do it again, hell yeah! Logging is reserved for next year. I learned a lot and will have 2023 in my back pocket to motivate me. Keep being you Bro.

Tyler, your rant at the end described my experience 99.9% With one little difference - even with all the training time, costs, f*#king stupid course, broken bike, dnf, & broken dreams - I loved it. And yes, it was your fault. Thank you.

Not sure how I came across the video but cool to watch LOL! Do they not check the course before this event? Surprised by the bob wire thingy

You have some of the best content on KZfaq...and one of the best cycling content on all media

I have been following your channel almost since the beginning. Your honesty and insight are greatly appreciated. Thanks

Tyler, thank you. Another great video. I tried the 200. Before this I trained hard and was so looking forward to it. On the day I DNF’ed and I think a large portion of that was due to the mud and ensuing mechanical issues. I was one of those people who didn’t have the experience- the kind of rider you reference. That said I had an AMAZING time and can’t wait to come back for round 2. The atmosphere, the excitement, the camaraderie, the sheer niceness of the people in Kansas made it one of the best days I’ve had.

First I can't stress how incredibly insightful your video account is. It generates a whole new level of respect for taking on this supremely difficult challenge. I can't even fathom riding THAT hard for THAT long and then having to deal with seemingly endless MUDAGEDDON in the middle of the night. Crazy. Kudo's for the effort and thanks for offering such a sobering and accurate account of the event. Too often people find these events romanticized via different media forums and they assume this type of event is for everyone who wants to challenge themselves and take on an adventurous challenge. But the fiscal reality of taking this on and then the disappointment at walking for hour after hour in mud and then realizing your bike is completely shot...well that's certainly NOT for everyone. I love using my bike for adventure, but your video makes it apparent that Unbound 100,200 or XL isn't for most adventure seeking riders.

Great insight and commentary on your experience; that was really fun to watch! Respectfully, I disagree with your statement that somehow "this wasn't bike racing". This is exactly what this type of bike racing is about... overcoming adversity through attrition. You did your best and left it all on the course. You learned and felt a lot though through your self-inflicted suffering. No one forced you to take this on - or anyone else for that matter. It may not have felt like a race at times... in the mud... fixing your bike... in the dark all alone, but the race was always in your head and regardless of where you finished - or if you finished - everyone else was going through their own version of the same experience. The variables of adversity and attrition (and mechanicals and fueling etc.) were experienced and managed differently by everyone, but everyone adapted in their own way within their own story. Some people won, some people finished and some people DNF't. This is exactly what racing is... and just because you were extended beyond the point where you felt like you were racing it doesn't mean you weren't in one. You should definitely do Unbound XL again next year (yo, bring more snacks).

I was in the 100 this year and everyone around me was complaining about the mud. I just told myself that once you start complaining you lose cause it’s all part of the experience. Mad respect for the 350! Also thank you for inspiring me to do the 100!

Always the best recaps, stories, and inspiration. I haven't even watched this yet, but I already want to do the XL next year.

loved your rant man. Broke my derailleur hanger around mile 14 and managed to have a fix and rode till 125 and DNF'd in the 200. Sucks but couldn't have done more. Great video Tyler as always.

Bro, you did awesome! Life is so much more than winning. Just keep loving the journey. This is as good as cycling content gets!

Watching you pull through this motivated me to fill up my water bottle ,wear my bibs and go for a ride on the end of a really tiring day at work. Thank you so much :)

I kept hearing Unbound was nuts with mud this year. Now I get it. That amount of mud would trash some mountain bikes. I’m seriously impressed with your accomplishment and am now looking forward to your next videos. Ride on!

As always you delivered! When i saw you dnf on Strava i was bummed but had crazy anticipation for your upcoming video. I know you'll do great next year for sure! I look forward to seeing you on the podium at ultra this yr. Also your wife is awesome! You'll get unbound podium next yr. Hope to see you then!

Good job keeping it real. That’s a huge reason why I like your content.

I live in St Louis Missouri and I have been thinking about doing this race year after year until this year. I don't make a lot of money and this would absolutely crushed me to destroy my bike in this way. Mud is not gravel. It's as simple as that. Thank you VC for standing up and saying something for everybody that lost their wallets that day. Does somebody in the organization have past experience in Tough Mudders and forgot what kind of race they were designing?

Amazing perspective as always 😀 really appreciated your POV and feedback at the end! Big time fan regardless of your finish, all my best!

Vegan: I have been watching and been informed and entertained by your videos for a while. I came to cycling late in life and after a spinal cord injury. Somehow, I had not seen a video in 10-11 months, and was unaware you were the national champ at ULTRA DISTANCE cycling. When I saw you were posting a video of your experience at Unbound (what I knew as "Dirty Kanza"), I was unprepared for a 350 mile race. Dude, big ups to you and all who entered that insane distance in the chunky peanut butter Kansas mud. Even better of you to call out the organizers for the near impossible conditions for the whole race at various distances; with the perspective that most of the people trying to complete the race are not sponsored and the frustration at the expense of completely ruined bikes only to DNF.

Dude your videos are so great! I love watching every new creative video you post. Keep up the great work and excited for your future content!

Loved the "rant". Finally somebody that brings some honesty to balance out the hype surrounding these events.

This has to be one of if not the best race coverage of any bike race ever

Wow that barbed wire on the course is f'd up, I know the XL specifically goes pretty far out into the country but you would've thought the Unbound organizers would vet the course a few days beforehand at least... super unsafe.

Thank you for your honest assessment at the end of the vid about the conditions of the course in this race. From year to year the roads are at the mercy of the elements and the promoters aren't going to cancel when the mud makes them nearly impossible to ride because of the money involved. Maybe August would be a better month because it is much drier. But the heat would probably kill everyone.

I cannot tell you how good your videos are ! I cannot stop watching them, so interesting and you just have a knack for narration of your adventures! Well done !

Kudos Tyler. Your totally right about this event. It's all I hear or have read about this event. Too much mud. Many Pros and amateurs alike DNF'd. You're a hero to take it on as hard as you did. Make it hard, YES but it's also supposed to be fun.

You do a really great job with these anthologies, Tyler, thanks for taking us into your trials and tribulations and lack of frosty sodas when you needed them most. And no, you don't bear any responsibility for the course, the course officials need to find alternate routes when hours of bike-and-spirit-busting mud await the competitors, both those seeking top results and those seeking strong personal performances. And hopefully something good will come from this mess because, as you say, people really can't afford to spend their time and big bucks on this sort of experience, too much of a downer, especially when it is hyped as the epicenter of gravel, the best disco in town. Thanks again, Tyler, and hopefully you'll win next time because gravel is getting to be like it all. You gotta be a winner, baby, just win. And I grin. 😀

Tyler is one of a kind when it comes to story telling and I was laughing so hard at 10:50!! YJMMD

Well said at the end! I do t think that pros tell much about what is given and I can say your mindset definitely changes when you were given sponsored equipment. My heart goes out to the people who do spend a lot of time and money to get out there and I think it’s good to have your opinion as it’s very valid. We can shred our bikes and have them fixed but so many take the time off work and take years to build their dram bikes so maybe less mud sections so they can feel accomplished it demolished. Love your videos! You left it all out there and it’s absolutely amazing you did what you did! ❤🦄

Keep going! You inspire more than you know. We keep watching and following your lead to get out and pedal. I was delighted to cross you @ double peak this year. Got some of your berries on the climb up only to see you on my wafer decent. Thought I was done on the approach but we all find it in us to keep going past break point and watching your efforts is part of that.

I'm an old former racer who is in his first year of riding gravel and loving gravel. After watching the many Unbound videos from many producers this year, I'm thinking I may not ever want to enter a gravel race and for certain will not be heading to Unbound for any length. I have not seen one participant state that they "enjoyed" that race, not even the winners of the shorter courses. The winners look devastated, the list od DNF is too long, and I can't even imagine doing the 100mi route with that mud. I am looking forward to making the Rock Cobbler my first organized gravel event, mostly because I grew up riding those hills in Bakersfield; I hope you make it out to the cobbler again with even better results (no crashes:) ) from your current high fitness level.

I think you captured something that I haven't really been able to put into words. Last year I showed up to this race to finish. 2022 I finished. goal met. wahoo!! This year? My goal was to beat the sun. by mile 15, I was already 1.5 hours behind schedule, off fueling, and suffering(leg cuts, twisted ankle, mud marathon fun). the bike survived with no issues though, and I rode another 6 hours, but I was looking at another 7-20 hour finish. That's not what I came this year to do, and I decided to DNF before putting in so much damage to myself in recovery that I couldn't continue to ride bikes. So I stopped to ride another day. Last year recovery took the better part of 6 weeks.

I LOVED this video! Thank you for being so real Tyler. Keep up the amazing bike riding and continue to please pump out these amazing adventure videos. You inspire me!

Man, so good, the DNF here and the commentary is real, appreciate the authenticity of the experience you had and letting us watch over your shoulder

You did well! I totally agree with you on the last bit rant. Thank you for doing this video. Cant wait for next year

How you are racing and dealing with so much and still managing to record footage to make these awesome Unbound videos is wildly impressive. Great job!

I think you have a very valid point at the end. Not to mention the many hours of training to prep and all of the sacrifices both pros and amateurs have to make.

Cycling... we're green, we love the planet. One race... half a new bike!

Dude, I really like your insight, passion and humor, but what cracks me up is when you get ticked off. I feel bad I find entertainment when you're pissed, but I'm the same way. Mechanicals piss me off, and watching you deal with the derailleur showed extreme patience and perseverance (I would've found a way to burn my bike to the ground). Your footage really showed what's going on in this race, man! Well done.

this was hilarious...i really enjoyed your misery and feel for you at the same time! thank you for putting this together.

I have been waiting for your video Tyler! You are such a great story teller. I appreciate your honesty and always root for you in whatever endeavor you take on. That’s what makes you relatable, you are unapologetically you, tell us how you really feel and take us with you during training and the race. Racing in hard events, besides being a physical challenge, are a mental and emotional roller coaster. In those ultra events you have a lot of time to be in your own head. Over the years I have learned to deal with the demons that show up to tell me to stop, quit, do easier things, that nobody really cares on how I do in a particular race. But I care, and I’ll know if I didn’t give my best and I will hate it. It’s very refreshing when someone cycling on a high level says that sh*&*t is hard! You didn’t fail, you learned things that will help you in the future. Future you will Thank you 😊

Great video as always. I really enjoy watching these events from yourself, Dylan Johnson and Fernwee etc. The events look completely insane, more like survival training. It blows my mind how anyone can even finish these things, let alone go at the pace the leaders go at.

You are a better man than me on this one. Big props for doing as well as you did. This race seems like far more than just a race. It seems like the race is already tough enough without having to deal with the amount of mud and mechanical failures that you had to deal with.

Props for not throwing your bike into the field and walking to the next gas station. It is SOOO hard not to lose your mind when things like that happen in the middle of an A race. Way to stay calm and figure it out!

Been thinking of doing this event (travelling from Europe) but totally agree with your closing comments. Not a chance to spend thousands to walk in mud for hours + potentially wreck the bike. Organisers need to get a grip of themselves.

aayyyoooo "I Love hard things" - Tyler. Haha, good stuff - was waiting for your Unbound vid!! Thank you!

I agree with your rant. Also for lighting, try using a dynamo hub....if you don't want the 7 watts of drag when the light is on, then pack a couple lights that use 18650 or 21700 rechargeable batteries (in which you can pack extras so there's no worry), and also a headlamp with the same batteries. Fenix makes some good lights.

That repair was "vodou". Totally amazing!! I love your fighting spirit! Cheers from Philly

As many have said, thank you for the honesty, and keeping it real.

Good job man! Grizl 7 suspension here, got the same issue with the derailler hanger : it holds to the frame by this most tiny screw and when this unscrew, the head is in the direct way of the gear, which blocks the whole drive train..

We have a crazy 1 day mtb race in South Africa called Attakwas (Hell of the South). It's right in the middle of summer and temps reached 51C (124F) in this valley. People were walking so many sections, heart rates were through the roof and no matter what you did you couldn't bring your HR down. Towards the end there were just bodies on the side of the road trying to get out of the sun absolutely exhausted. Even Matt Beers said he was kinda afraid he was going to die, vision blurred etc, few people ended up in hospital after collapsing. What pissed people off is the organisers a) let the race go ahead despite knowing it was going to be crazy hot and b) because of where we were riding there was no way to get riders out. After so much preparation it's difficult to put ambition up against reality and trust that you're going to make a wise choice. I feel for organisers but they're dealing with type A people that don't always put their health and safety first!

Great vid as usual VG. Katie Kookaburra reminds her followers to bring an extra derailleur hanger (or two coz they’re cheap as chips) in your seat bag because you’ll need one and won’t have one. This winter I went to Jamaica to do some base training, luckily I brought an extra derailleur hanger for my Trek coz on an 8% incline my derailleur decided to was done and snapped in two severely bending my hanger. Went to the bike shop, got a new derailleur and used my new hanger, Bob’s your mother’s brother! Thinking about a Grizl, now that I’ve watched your video, my minds made up now to get it with the Rudy front shock. Cheers mate,

Dude, I have been refreshing YT every day looking forward to this vid. Didn't disappoint

We are all human. Getting the nutrition right in race like this is a lot of it. I've done quite a few 6, 12, and 24 hour races, 200 mile TTs, and 400 mile TT's. Makes me want to try this one!

You are still awesome, P.s. Thanks for taking the time and letting me and my Friend get a photo with you, it was greatly appreciated!

I think you're spot on with the perspective on those out to complete, not compete. 99% of the people participating are doing it on their own dime and have to incur all the costs, including repairs after breaking the bike on an unnecessarily difficult and muddy section. They're not pros. They don't get support. They don't have the world class fitness that seems to be required to "do good" at this. I think this year may be a turnoff for those that might want to do it next year. Of course, the pros will still show up to race, go on social media, and get that money regardless. It's too big an event now. BTW, if I were to do the XL, I'd approach it like a 600k brevet with dirt and no sleep. Carry all the food I'd need, as much water as practical, tools and spares for mechanicals, top off supplies where practical but not be reliant on it, pace myself (not too slow but steady), assume being solo, and not fall into the trap of catching wheels with someone who is going too hard for your preferred pace. But that's a completest strategy, not a competing strategy.

Awesome video as always. I'm the same, go big or go home, if you go big and there's no more big to give, then no point in being disappointed. You gave it your all. Totally agree with your comments at the end based on what I saw in your video, also the barbed wire??? wth.... how did none of the organisers spot that?

Tyler, not only is the video a great one, but bruh>>>> your commentary is top notch hilarious

Thanks for shooting awesome content even during the hard shit. Thankful for the real view of what its like from your perspective even if it wasn't such a shining light on the event. Hopefully the promoters will see this and make changes! That's the only way we can improve. RIDE BIKES BRO!

I’ve been waiting for this video and hear all about what you experienced . Doing the the 100 myself i can relate to the mud adventure. Thanks for your comments at the end . I didn’t know to suck it up almost wrecking my bike , no one talks about ! I do think they should re route some of the course around the heavy mud sections but then again it’s supposed to be challenging . I’m on the fence on this subject . I am questioning bringing my 9 thousand dollar bike again next year if I get in . Thanks so much Tyler for sharing your experience in detail .

Mate, you did great. And that disclaimer at the end, really hit home. Way to keep it real!

Flashback to 2019 and my UB entry is confirmed. A quick Google turns up your video from the year before. It was the perfect for the time. I've now completed 3 consecutive Unbound 200s without much in the way of calamity. I adjust my goals along the way as things unravel - like dont loose to JB by more than 6 hours. Anyway, thanks for the content, inspiration and perspective. Don't let this be your impossibly route. I think I will pass on the XL though.🤙

I feel your take on the race promoters/LifeTime was spot on and well said.

I convinced my buddy to buy Canyon for his first bike bc they support you and your content. Keep it up man! High quality videos and hilarious

Man, super fun watching your unbound recap, mud and all. I think these experiences will be looked back on as character building and help you in the future in the event you have to dig even deeper on one of your impossible routes. I mean, you just never know with the crazy shit you do. Thanks for vocalizing your support for the amateurs, which is the glue that holds Unbound together.

One think I’ve learned from any ultra distance I’ve ridden is that you can’t have expectations. It’s 350 miles of nature. Ultra is amazing bc a dnf is also a win in the end because no one escapes being humbled. Level set for all. Also man you are already so on the map in the bike world! Great vid! Thank you!! May your mud demons be exorcized!!

You say you were prepared for the mud but I'm seeing a lack of handy dandy mud(paint) stick! 😂 Joking aside I enjoyed the video. Good content. I was happy to chat after I finished the 200. Thanks for being around after dark!

Great to see you at your start. Your live tracker said you were still at the start like you forgot it or something. I did the 100. Been waiting for this vid on bated breathe. I think you nailed the mud issue. Imagine doing the trans Continental ride which I’m following on Facebook and their days of mud!

man, your videos are so true to the real thoughts of what someone would put ahead of their minds. thanks for keeping it real here in the internet. I also kill it in my group bike ride, but also second guess myself sometimes with stupidity.

I watch your videos before I go on my bike rides, they get me pumped to go out and have a great ride

Thx for another great and honest video. Sometimes a gamble does not turn out the way you want ito. That's why it's called a gamble. And also thx for the rant at the end. Deepest respect from Germany

Great vid, Tyler! As we talked during the expo, luck plays a lot into whether or not people make it, even after all the preparation. I was about 45 minutes behind you and pulled out before the El Dorado stop due a shoulder problem, but had a great time and can't wait until next year's XL. One thing I will say you might consider doing differntly next year, if you come back for the XL again, is coming out early and pre-riding the course. I had pre-ridden the El Dorado to Eureka section and knew that would be the worst part of the course if it rained because of all of the MMRs down there. There will be a lot of them going north next year. many of which you rode in the 2019/2021 200 races. And I would be more than happy to go with you. You can even stay at the house. LOL :)

U did an amazing job bro. I feel this course was an unintentional impossible route. Next year will b better now that u have that experience on what to n not to do..u got this bro next year 🤙🏾🤙🏾

Nice on VC, also your statement und expressed support for the regular mortals. Thumbs up!

Thank you so much for the final section of this video, I have SO many stories of people going to do gravel races and coming back and swearing it off because of what was expected vs what they got as far as course goes, or worse, coming home injured as the course was too technical for the skill level promoted to. you're awesome

Fixing the bike and the whole derailer issue looked so satisfying when you finally hopped back on and started pumping

I’m planning to go next year and I’m extremely excited. but after seeing this makes me think twice. Thanks VC

I dont understand how tou can ride so hard and film at the same time!? Awesome!
