TOO FAST TOO EXCUSES - Stage 3 of the Tucson Bicycle Classic 6 Days In Arizona (ep. 6of 6)

Күн бұрын

In this episode of the six days in Arizona mini Vlog series, we go through the final stage of the Tucson bicycle classic. It was an extremely fast circuit race that had a decent little climb at the start finish line and some really tight turns caused havoc for me. I tried to explain why I erased in a division that was above my pay grade, talk about the connection with my son on this trip, and ramble on about other things. I hope you enjoyed this Vlog miniseries and I hope to do more cool adventures and mini Vlogs like this in the future. What time would you like for me to visit?

You may be 39 and sometimes unable to keep pace with the 20 somethings anymore, but your legacy has a vibrant foundation that will endure through your family and descendants forever. You've done great to have such a close family and so many faithful KZfaq followers to share it with. Yet there is much more to come. Thanks Tyler !!!

I saw the option to binge with the unlisted videos, but intentionally waited to watch one episode a day. Gives me something to look forward to the next day. Nothing wrong with this hybrid option though.

I lost my dad to cancer a year ago. My best memories with him were going on cross-country road trips to AZ and CO. As a son, you're being a great fucking dad. He's lucky to have you. BIkes are sick too, but the other stuff is more important.

I cannot imagine anyone criticizing you for attempting such a hard race. Just finishing is a huge accomplishment, and you gave me a little taste of what it is like to actually ride in a pro peloton... and that taste was enough! ; ) Well done, great videos, keep it up, please : )

People who call you a simp may have never(or ever will) had a woman like your wife. You relationship with her seem very honest, sincere, and loving. If having a woman like her and treating her like a queen is simping, then you are a HUGE simp. 💪

@tkwatne Ай бұрын

Came here to say to say this….people calling other people “simp” or “beta” are almost certainly not emotionally stable enough for real intimacy.

I binged and dug it! I also did a biking trip to Tucson in April, so was cool to see you riding some of the same routes I just did. You crushed Lemmon way faster than me bro! I always love your videos, thanks for sharing your stories. From one vegan cyclist to another, yeeuh!

Watching this series was a B L A S T an a half! You make everything very relatable, don't sweat it about the content not being wins and top 5's etc all the time. You created something unique on here, about being HUMAN, highs and lows dude and everything in-between!! I didn't 'binge' because I caught episodes one after the other except two, but I do think they fit that frame perfectly also! Much Love VC! I truly hope to meet you one day! Keep being an awesome Dad and human! IYOOOOOOOO

Excellent, excellent video!

Keep em coming and I’ll be here to consume! Love seeing your involvement with your children’s lives. So, so important! This coming from someone whose mother self deleted just weeks after my 16th birthday. Pretty much a nuclear explosion in us kids home life with many years of f’d up lives afterwards. I wish all parents would be as involved with their children as you are! Kudos! ❤

@5:18 you have to remember, people inside watching youtube, is many times because we're not outside often doing these things ourselves. So no need to compare yourself to the best of direct competition, when you're so far ahead of the curve compared to the entire rest of humanity, it's very impressive to go along for the ride, even if last place.

Great stuff Tyler, all good. Tony is like the older brother your son can connect with on a different level than Dad. Glad that worked out. I didn't realize I was watching you race that crit. I thought that backside uphill would be a good vantage point. It was except that everyone like the Pro women and all you guys flew up it like it was the flats. I saw the various videos pop up but I waited and binge watched episodes 1-4 and then was hungry for 5-6. Viva la Tucson!

I am in my 41s, started biking in my 20s, never been strong but wanted to be in the bike. 5 years ago became father and I really hear what you say about family and connection, there is nothing more important in life, racing may be gone, but family will be there always. I`ve been following you since quite some years ago, but now I started to enjoy more those videos, keep it up.

Binged the first few, loved the fact the fourth was available after watching the third. This series was so awesome. We appreciate YOU Tyler. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. The end of this episode hit so hard for me with the family aspect. My family is in Japan for a couple months til I go and the mindset and dynamics around balancing family, work and bikes definitely takes some mindfulness. So much to say there but bro… feels! Enjoyed the whole thing. Keep it up!

The double line rule is enforced in this race because back in 2003, a P1/P2 rider flatted, crossed the double yellow line, got hit by a car and died. Yeah it sucks, but someone literally died in 2003 in this exact field crossing the double yellow line.

Team slow twitch. I'd rather do 6 hours at 230 watts than 2:30 at 600 watts. When Zwift added Fuji as a climb this month, I went up it at all four elevation profiles back-to-back-to-back-to-back while watching Lord of the Rings. I live beside Skyline Drive and the Blue Ridge Parkway, though, and my happy place is on loooong rides with non-stop climbs.

Mate the alpha stuff is a load of bull. You can look after your family and protect them without the macho thing, and the scariest guys I know are not the kind to chest pump. Guys your build I know that could take me apart in seconds, im 220lb, 6ft and ex D end before cycling, but they are so zen and caring you feel lucky to have them in your life. And my other half is my best friend, I trust her with everything and family has turned my life around in the all the best ways. I honestly feel sad for people that don't have that and understand that.
