Dude we missed ya there. Three of your teammates beat me out in the sprint😂. It is crazy hard and so much fun. Thanks for the video

Great video and learnings. I did a 300km road race in Melbourne and few years ago and came 2nd in my age group. The reason I did well was due to the zone 2 endurance 200+ training rides. Keep up the great content

200 miles goddamn bro, well done.Thanks for the candor re: your training and whatnot.

[pjohns]

Well done, honest straightforward evaluation, first step to improving next year! I am showing this video to my corporate team. Excellent view on improving.

2022 took me 15 hours and 43 minutes, had no idea how to fuel or climb, just got my first road bike about a month before that too lol. 2023 took me 10 hours 37 mins, after a mechanical at mile 50 that costed me 11 mins and never caught back up to lead group. 😢

[cry face emoji at 3:16] you should take a lot of courage/pride/strength out of your fight that day. Can't wait to see what greatness awaits!

This is 30km longer than Milan San Remo. WOW

[paulweber]

1:36 22.3 miles per hour average for 27 plus miles at 146 watts. I must be doing something wrong.

Would you rather ride in Utah, Idaho or Wyoming? Why? 👇🏻

This is not the longest road bike race in the US. Race Across America would be closer to that label at 3000 miles
