    This is exactly the kind of cycling content I look for on UA-cam, great work. I couldn’t care less about the pro peloton, give me a film about a guy out riding with his buddies any day of the week.

    Thoroughly enjoyed watching Sam’s Grand Slam Maui Owie Get Fit Quick Trip Extravaganza! If he aint in shape after this one ... well ...

    Great video.
    I’m a big fan, I love this channel.
    I ride several disciplines, I’m 55.
    Started as a mountain biker in the 1990’s .
    Now it’s mainly gravel and road miles in South Texas.
    I also just got about $200 worth of Untapped. Looking forward to fueling.
    Thank you for the inspiration, Ted.
    Ride on !

    Amazing video, never thought about a gravel bike for that ride! The east loop is on my bucket list, one day I’ll get that ride done! Thank you!

    Great side guys, looked like fun and a nice day to ride too. Thanks for giving us the details about your bike. Man the bike is super fast too no matter what tires you put on it.

    Maui is my favorite place in the world and have a dream of taking my bike there one day. Definitely a bucketlist ride, but I'd probably have to do those in two different sections.

    Aloha! Thanks for the great video. I am lucky to call Maui home for the last 20 years and have biked all over the island. I have never filmed any of it. It's always interesting to me what footage makes it on to the videos. I know how hard those climbs are. Great job!

    Hey Ted,
    great vid. I am going next week. I usually do the northern loop and play around on haleakala but will no definitely consider the southern loop. I will run my Crux 1x 11-42rear, 42front on scwalbe g-one rs 35mm. Ill top out on the flats but goodness those hills can get steep. thanks for the inspiration!

    Loving this video! I just rode the West Maui loop and want to do the road to Hana when I come back in the summer for the Haleakala event.
    What kind of bar and saddle bags are y'all using?

    @cyclingmd Рік тому +1

    Thanks for the great video Ted. A tire question: If my bike has room for the Snoqualmies, any reason to not use them over the Barlow Pass or Bon Jon Pass for generally not super chunky mixed surface rides?

    • @TedKing1
      @TedKing1  Рік тому +1

      Honestly no. I find them as fast as anything. So it’s not like it’s a disadvantage over more narrow tires. I love the 44s!

    Crazy loop! Why no banana bread in Hana…? Should be mandatory :)

    My friends, Don & Pam, managed resorts one being switcher mt ski resort in Idaho. Then they move to Maui on Hawaii to manage a 200+ acres off the gravel road your talking about. Resort has grass roofs an rolling hills of grass, quite beautiful. Do you know of the resort they managed?

    You can put a 44mm tire on a super six? Sam interested because I have a 2020 team edition super six.

    • @TedKing1
      @TedKing1  Рік тому

      SuperSix EVO SE. SE implies the gravel bike. If so, yes. If road bike, no.
