What camera are you using?

Dude! How the heck did you get the camera to pan around by itself while you were riding?

Missed that one! Will have to link up with you guys another time. There are some fun gravel rides west of ft worth. Just did an epic one in Thurber. ❤

Your data overlay froze during the single-track and never kicked back in. If possible, would love to see an elevation profile for the ride in the video. You managed the trail well with the drop-bar. Enjoyed the video!

What software did you use for the data overlay?

Love the data overlays, especially the map, but I get the complexity. Go with what's easiest. The most important thing is to keep your ride cadence momentum.

Science! Love it! Glad you battled to the end even though that had to be pretty boring.

Is the Hwy 380 trailhead still open? - Nm. You mentioned it at the 3 min point.

Great video! Thanks for all the helpful info.

Thanks for doing this one! I used to fly radio controlled planes out there when it was a strange Irving Park in Dallas City limits.

Kevin, what saddle and tires model and size do you have on that bike? That trail is close to where I live. I'll have to give it a try sometime.

Cool video. Will you post a map of this route?

Thanks for doing these videos and providing the route!

Great to see you riding.

Didn't hear any wind noise in the mic. Nice audio setup.

Cool video! I clicked on it on a whim, and discover I know exactly where you’re riding and have ridden there myself. Admittedly I skipped through, so you may have addressed this, but just fyi I believe basically all the gravel in the first half of the video (the right turn off of the first road next to the hunting land) is private property and the ride might be trespassing. Either way, great vid and thanks for taking us along.

Loved your video! You have great knowledge about the area where you rode your bike. I am new to Texas and I bike every day near Melissa. I hope you have been there. I suggest you try livestreaming your bike rides; people could have conversations with you while you're streaming.

Did the camera battery give out?

I've always had good luck parking at the Charles Haws Athletic Center, there's a police station in sight of the parking lot. And it's in the middle of the trail, so you can always start into the wind.

That's what friends are for! The NETT?

Love the rambling videos and miss the pre-event ones, but I understand the limited time availability. I know you have the POD, but something like this every 2-4 weeks with some thoughts on: what's been going on with you; coming/future Spinistry events; and general gravel thoughts would be enjoyable. Also, enough of the e-bike shame. We're blessed to be able to ride on any bike. God bless, Kevin!

❤ you have a beautiful blanket on the wall. I love Kevin Lee.

Thinking about joining the carbon membership, but I think I will be too far north, (mineral wells) you guys are sat based?

too bad they arent doing it anymore, looks bad ass!

spirit of gravel is very alive in well. especially with what we are seeing at sea otter every year the tech gets better and more interesting. But depends on where you live.

You talking about those bikes that look like Walmart bikes?

Your going to need more then new bars to finish before me out there 😅

Im on my 4th season with my roll. It originally came set up as a hybrid on 28s . I could do slower group rides 15,16 avg. I took off the chain ring protector and eventually started dropping the chain. SwitchEd to narrower bb and a narrow wide chainring. Problem solved . I currently have it set up for light gravel on 32s and surly corner bars. I also have a set of knobby 40s that I use from time to time. Compared to my road bike the roll is a bit slower, more relaxed and way more cushy. You can set this bike up a ton of ways just by switching bars, tires, and stem. Ive done maybe 5k or so and long rides up to 60 mi no problem. Great all rounder good at everything great at nothing. Favorite bike for rail to trails here in Cbus, OH . Mine has 46 chainring 11-36 on the back . 10 speed. Its just okay, but right for the market they are targeting. I would recommend for beginners or riders getting back in the saddle but not ready to drop coin on a bike from the big three.

Looks like fun. Awesome video! Forgot to introduce the good puppy dogs.

Great video! Thank you for sharing. I cannot wait to move back to Texas and ride these roads with y'all.

So so so much fun

One night is a little short, and anything over two nights seems like a grind. For me, I can't do two nights unless I take off work, so I end up doing one night. But when all the stars align, I'd rather do two nights. I think that's the reason for the discrepancy between what people say and what they end up doing. That's why I do solo rides - it's easier to just go bikepacking on my own schedule.

I was interested in this when you guys first mentioned this event, but I didn't realize the length of the trip and it was point to point.

I’ve started a few rides from that garage and shared some good brews.

For sure a bucket list trip for me If it’s 12 days open invitation I have plenty PTO to spare full transparency physically/mentally I can handle the trip my only thing is the experience of backpacking and the logistics that has me pushing it back cause I want more trips under my belt prior to but I’m up for it if y’all open it up to anyone.

The transcript feature is helpful.

I did test rides on 4 Roll Bikes. I honestly think these bikes are great! So great that I’m ordering at least 2 today to have in my shop. The company representatives that I have dealt with so far are the Real Deal. Extremely knowledgeable and a pleasure to speak with.

I'm digging those team tactics displayed @13:28! #thespiritofgravel

Now THAT was an enjoyable interview!

YESSSS

I needed this. It's rained several days straight where I live, and I have a serious case of cabin fever.

Hey that's me

Cool graphics.

Bent front rim now… Jk lol

First successful demonstration of the Multi-Person Leapfrog Team (sm) approach!

When the Kuat phone tree says: "For 'face melting' customer service, press 2;" it's not hyperbole...

The pro ladies did not disappoint!

The STOOL is an accident waiting to happen..............a piece of junk......IMHO.

Thanks for all your scouting efforts. Well done.

Have you tried working with the pecan business folks there in San Saba? San Saba Pecan Company is one of the oldest, but is now owned by a bigger outfit, Chase Pecan. Chamber of Commerce is a good resource. Pecans are big business in San Saba. Might be a sponsorship opportunity. I'm still riding a lot, but just haven't gotten around to riding with you guys. San Saba's my home, so I look forward to more rides down there.
