Thanks for letting us be a part. Great job out there. Back to back long days is next level. Can't wait to see the rest of your crit racing journey

This was awesome. Congrats on the first century. Jackson is a legend, you are lucky to have him with you on those rides!

Day 1: Checking out the sights on a bike is one of my favorite ways to see the world. Whether it’s your home town or a city half way around the world, like Jack said, it’s a treat to find things you would have never guessed were there. Had a bit of a chuckle because knowing when, where, what, and how to eat definitely takes some practice, but don’t worry EJ, everyone has messed that up before. If they say they haven’t, they’re lying. Day 2: Impromptu group rides like that are so fun. Makes the miles fly by. Love seeing EJ’s face during those last miles and when he finished. Is there any other way to do your first century?! And then getting super tired sitting in the confession chair was hilarious. Can’t count how many times I’ve done that and fallen asleep after a huge ride. Can’t wait for Part 2!

Nice work. This is a super entertaining way to get the miles in - the partnership of you two, supplemented by the Strava group joiners and the cameo riders makes for some very engaging content. Can’t wait for part 2.

"struggles with hands off the bars" proceeds to go-pro for miles on end 🤣🤣🤣 Great video man, keep up the good work.

Congratulations guys. Great content. Excited to see how you battled the weather in the upcoming videos.

already know this is gonna be an absolute BANGER before watching - keep it up brother!!

Great job on your first century! I still remember my first century; that feeling of accomplishment sticks with you.

Last year did 2100 km / 21 day during company challenge and it was quite complicated in the end due fatigue from constant cycling itself and cycling alone everyday before and after work. You have a companion and i think it will be much easier for you to accomplish your goal) Have a nice rides during this epic journey!

Next time say if this video gets X likes I will ride X miles.

Interesting to see the handlebar packs on the day2 cameo. Congrats all.

As a former heavy person who lost a ton of weight cycling and now races as a cat 1, the biggest thing holding me back is likely diet. I love to eat, I don’t have the discipline I used to have when I was originally losing my 80 lbs, and I really struggle to get out of the “calorie deficit” mindset when I’m on the bike. I ask all my teammates and friends to keep my accountable and remind me to eat. Don’t diet on the bike. Not sure if this was also a bit of why you weren’t eating as much but just an insight. Love your journey and Jeff is a great guy, you’re in awesome hands.

This is a blast. Great performance on the first century.

I love the views and dedication! fwiw don't think you need to take both hands off to eat. I [usually] don't feel comfortable taking both hands off to eat either. Not because of handling exactly but because of narrow/non-existent road shoulders, traffic and random wind gusts. I tear the tops of my gels with my mouth and have gotten pretty good at rolling the wrapper with one hand.

Awesome stuff! Hope by the end of it you talk about metrics like weight/power/heart rate etc etc going in and after the 692 miles...curious what that did to your body.

Thanks for getting me pumped to ride longer again. I’ve really just been commuting but want to ride the GBD and need to start training. Keep it up.

I waited for this video im exited

Amazing ride and keep going 🚲🚲 Greetings from Germany

This is great content for a "second channel"! I've bought right in! Good luck for the season - I'm sure you'll smash it!

Amazing video bro keep it going love to see the Journey

Congrats on the first century!

Well Done

"For every one like this video gets in the first 24 hours, I will eat one burrito the week of January 16th-January 22nd."

I was feeling tired laying in my bed and this video motivated me enough to get on Zwift and smash a race. Awesome 👌

Awesome!! Can only imagine what it's like cycling in California. Minnesota SUCKS in the winter for cycling 🥶🥶🥶

really enjoying the channel. Seem to be hanging out with good people both thru SM and IRL so good things will happen. ride safe and all the best

As the video came to an end, I was concerned you were injured after the first century until you said, “next part drops on 1/16”. Keep killing it out there!

Cool fact about Gu recycling ALL sports nutrition wrappers!

Very cool and MOTIVATING Gents!!

Epic!

Awesome work! Great video!

Respect!

My man’s entered the pain cave

Sounds healthy!

Sorry I missed the Zwift ride. Good luck in racing this year.

You guys are willld

Loving this!

Top tip. Cut the tops off the bar packets before starting the ride.

Put your food in a sandwich bag and leave it open so you can grab it quickly. Nice ride!

+100 miles for the lettuce coming out of your helmet.

My suggestion would be to ride the new S-Works Turbo Creo SL EVO with Elon following in the chase vehicle charging new batteries. No harm no foul since Specialized claims it's you only faster?

You could get 3 other KZfaqrs and do the RAAM in June. That would be epic... I was support for a team that did in 6 days and 9 minutes. The goal was to do it under 6 days so they were 9 minutes short...

Love seeing the whoop data. However, I don’t understand why there is such a wide discrepancy between Jackson and EJ. Jackson burned 1567 cal on Monday and EJ burned 4393. And they both did the same ride? Anyone know what I’m missing?

is there a link to the video about jackson's s5?

The biggest mistake all cyclists do is not eating enought. Im 62 kgs and try to eat 60 g of carbohydrates per hour

i think you could save like 40 watts with a better fitting jacket

BTW it’s ok to stop and eat your food 😅

Need a better fit jacket and ditch the parachute!!!!

who else feels cheated?

Nice start 👍 This project turned into how pros would train in the past . Past meaning 5to8 years ago. Do you guys have a Strava? Don't remember if I found you or not. Looking forward to the next upload. And who is that cute dog? 🦮😊
