50:35 was a close one! 😮

What's this fun ride 😁✌️

i'm going to be doing this for the first time in two weeks going to be exciting! nice job on this race!

😂you guys all struggling in the light sand on 3% grade is too funny . I cant wait to feel the burn this year. Cheers.

Nice job on the race and the recap. Good video quality and good commentary. I did LOTS in 2022 on my fat bike and found it to be the most challenging race I’ve done - legs cramped up real good after the 2nd single track section and I limped into the finish. 😅

Marshal in the middle of the road… seriously? That’s madness, pity you don’t have any telemetry on screen to see how your cadence is and HR… super fast pace.

What a fast start. Amazing footage. Excellent job both racing and editing the video. How do you choose which portions of the race to use?

I live in Hastings and my grandson and his dad did the 36-mile this year. It was my grandson's 3rd time, he had previously done the 18-mile twice. I drove part of the route with my grandson the day before the race but this gave me an idea of what the race was really like. Thanks so much for sharing this. 😀👍AND congratulations on finishing the race with all the difficulties. 👏

Full gas from the start! 😅 great work Barry!

Nice video and skillful + fast riding! Funny everybody seems to have trouble with that turn 9:35. I race both last year and this year and same thing happen hahahaha.

About 10 seconds in....I am off the back. lol. Not a fast guy but you dudes are impressive. Well done!

Kinda sucks that there are cars pulling into the road during the final sprint

At 2:44:17, they're hauling out a short hauler that kissed a tree on the downhill while trying to ride with broken handlebars. Must've been something to see as you're riding through.

Any way to ride this course and bypass the farms? I'm pretty sure they won't let a couple randos ride through their property.

"Hooooly shit" from the cop standing in the middle of the peloton was hilarious lol. Great video, that sand was crazy. You guys were flying early on.

Awesome racing, for a spin bike alternative, this brings it!!

I thought this race was held in October, is this from 2022?

I was there in the beginning....right up until they said "GO". lol. Nice work!

Wow hitting 40+ mph downhill. is it aero bike with carbon wheels? Nice and fast time (nice weather helps a lot too )

Haha I couldn’t believe my eyes! 😅

Nice one. Does it took long to get use to the drop bar ? I thought tandem bike on gravel track was weird, but unicycle takes cake for sure.

You are a beast my friend!!

Parabéns linda corrida as imagens perfeitas. Parabéns a os participantes e tbm a os organizadores.

Well done! The last part you should've been drafting behind the others for a minute before the sprint. You were already exposed to the headwind for some time before you started sprinting so no wonder you ran out of gas after a few seconds, and yes you sprinted too early 😌 big well done just the same ..... on a mountain bike !! 🤩

Nice footage indeed! What bike were you riding? I understand it was a mountain bike. A hardtail? What model may I ask? Tire width?

Well done. You are strong AF. IMO, if you were on a drop bar gravel bike you could have probably won this race. The watt savings and aero benefits alone would've put you on the overall podium.

on my trek fuel 6000 rockshock duke gonna have a new one in 2023

well done

No idea why this got suggested to me but hey, the algorithms! Great format for MTB racing, never seen this before - Individual TT MTB style. Nice work!

Говорят в России плохие дороги ))) смотрю у вас тоже не айс

Very nice run. The level of fitness needed for such a long race is incredible. you`ve done very well, chapeau.

gran vídeo saludos desde Chile me encanto tu carrera y ese grupo se nota que son los mejores buena...todos campeones

Hart Hill Michigan Estados Unidos ???

did you find out who the cavalry was?

Great video. Well done

Very interesting so far

Nice recap! Fun to see how it played out!

Awesome video dude.. how do setup your camera to record long time period? Are you using external pwoer bank? GoPro?

You guys passed me and a buddy at 01:11:15. I jumped on one of your wheels right when you guys passed but dropped off shortly into the 25k once I looked back and realized my buddy in the yellow shirt didn't jump on my wheel. You guys were at a quick clip! Good luck this year!

Is there a gpx file available for the 2022 course

Nice recap. You riding style is very similar to me, just more fitness haha. Definitely frustrating having to run chunks of that final climb. That last little step up root usually claims a rider or two even when there isn't back markers from the short race. I try sit back a little farther so I can get a clean run at that and continue to ride.

Great video and great finish! Got me in there a bunch! Are you running an extended battery for this?

Well done! Riding it for the first time in 2022. Any suggestions for navigating through slower riders due to a poor wave placement?

Glad i found your channel and I sub'd. Now I know how fast/flow I need to aim for. Feel the "oops' moment too :) Edit: Aspen for yankee with that crazy fast lap time OMG!

Whoa yeah!! So now I know how fast and flow the real racer could ride (my time was 2:42 - with a mini-crash and traffic jam in the single track)

Great recap- Barry- is that what it looks like in the front? LOL Keeping on the gas requires a level of physical fitness, but holding back and knowing your limitations takes a lot of internal discipline as well. I think that your perspective on having a good time and enjoying the race is interesting and insightful. Keep up the good work.

Always interesting to see how the race plays out at the front. You've really leveled up (again) to be able to ride with those guys!

Great recap. Sorry to “hold you up” hard to tell from the video because I’m so far ahead but didn’t appear that I held anyone up going up Bassett Lake climb ;) Great job again, you crushed it!

You made riding up the hike-a-bike section look easy! 💪
