@@2UpDuc yeah, and flat pedals haha.

Thanks for stopping in!

Thanks! Having you and Marcus on course really was a big boost! I loved the sign.

This is the link to the strava activity. www.strava.com/activities/8895809844 Happy Training!

Thanks for watching. Michigan gravel racing scene is quite good. I'll give you my thoughts on your comments. The fat tire cyclist, Steve Kunst, is a very strong cyclist. He changed over to fat tire for the season to try something new for the gravel series. He excels at longer distance and has quiet the aerobic engine. He was third place overall in MGRS Long Course in 2021. Talking to him post race he said he was dangling on for dear life multiple times. I really regret not getting the start of this race. MDR had quite the presence at the race. Luke Hubbard (@lhubby199) had a chance at taking the overall. He had won two straight races going into this race. I'm not sure how he was feeling going into the race. I know the previous mountain bike race he had to pull out, and I forgot to ask him what happened. This season he seemed to either be hot or cold at races. I'm not sure if maybe he was feeling fatigue or burnout from the season (March to Basically first week in November), but he was struggling a little bit on this day. His teammates did work early and even towards the end just making sure he didn't fall out of the selection. Also, the team strengths lean more heavily towards mountain biking and technical riding and burst power. Team Turbo strengths are geared more towards classic road cycling. The guy Luke had to beat has an enormous threshold power so he usually isn't going to be caught out on positioning at the end of races. You are right on the money with your thoughts. Road racing tactics tend to shine more often then not in the less technical gravel races. I don't know where you live, but if you can get some wider tires on your road bike (32c) you should check out what your area has to offer. www.belgianwaffleride.bike/pages/belgian-waffle-ride-ca seemed like a road bikeable gravel/mixed surface race.

@@thecman02 ahh...thanks for the insider race details. I figured the fat tire rider was probably working harder than the rest of the field. It makes sense that he would have a big engine in order to hang in there with a gravel race break. That course looked like the quintessential setting for a gravel event _ with the falling leaves masking dirt holes, the open vistas, and long sweeping curved gravel routes mixed in with roadway surfaces. It looked super fun as evident from your elation at the end. I literally started looking up gravel frames after watching it. I'm stompin on an Aeroad right now and am documenting my training rides out here in CA _ "Race Pace_Los Angeles" www.youtube.com/@M3Atelier-Initiative/videos cheggitout. Looking fwd to your vid content for Gravel 24' I'm currently wrestling with VirbEdit 🤬😭 The BWR will be something that I will try to take a swing at once I get a rig set-up. I hear the prices may come down. I saw a few BWR vids, and to be quite honest, the Michigan courses look waaay more fun. I'll post a vid of my experience out here and at some point should I make it back to Detroit, I'll pin on a number for a race. The last time I rode Mtn was in Ann Arbor on the Potowatamee trails. It was super fun.

I started with free Garmin Virb Edit software for a couple of videos, but it isn't an actively supported software and requires a few hurdles to keep it functional. This video I used a software called GoPro Telemetry extractor. It cost 150 although you can find discount codes on occasion.

@@thecman02 thanks! Will check them out

Fall Lowell tends to be the most contested race of the year. In the 38mi race we had two guys that could possibly win the MGRS Short overall with a win. Both guys had helpers, also we had some long race gravel series guys that tend to drop down as a tapper going into Iceman. Stacked field of hitters kept it together.

Thanks man. Hope next year is as good or better for both of us. You slayed Iceman!

Its been awhile since the race, but from what I remember the rider was drinking and had their hand off the bar when they hit potholes. Couldn't get the hand back on in time to save it.

Just under 1100ft.

@@thecman02 wow

Thanks, it was a fun race.

I've done it for a race before. When I'm really gasping for air it becomes a little too restrictive.

Thanks!!

Hero 10, on 1080p30fps. The quality is way lower this race then previous because I accidentally selected low quality on export in Filmora. I'll have to get an external battery so I can get full race run time and then might as well get 4k source.

I sympathize with you. Past three race years before this year I have been as good as third place overall in the race going into Sager, and would usually catch Wave 1 and Wave 2 62mi racers walking/picking themselves up off the ground. I was really excited to hopefully get a clean run this year, and I did. Only wish it was due to being at the front of the pack and not behind it.

No problem. UA-cam seems to be dragging with processing the hd/4k. Hopefully that resolves soon. Good luck at Barry on the MTB.

Ah. Sold it last fall. :-( $5k

Sorry I didn't see this years ago. This is my friends car (MikeGruiZinga). At the time it was a stock bottom end, with ported heads, stg 1 schneiders, and my intake manifold. Streetfighter made the exhaust manifolds, they feed a GT3582R at 12psi. V-mounted spearco core, running Nistune and DSM 450cc injectors. Walbro pump. Only tuned up to 4500rpms thus far as it ran out fuel :-/ Current status of car can be found here. ua-cam.com/video/z-sND-no61Q/v-deo.html
