    I don't know why, but Ted King's gravel videos are the best on UA-cam. Not that the other ones suck, but these videos of Ted wear the crown.

    wow !! how was that even possible?!.. We absolutely love Healdsburg and environs! Thanks to you we are additionally motivated - we modified and created the "Megastopper" with the goal of visiting every bakery/coffee stop on the route...although we may drive ;-) !!

    I don't do gravel, but watching you do these epic adventures inspires/temps me to go off road around MA and NH. The few times I've gone off road around central and western MA was by accident or the group decided to take a gravel detour.

    • @ChrisP978
      @ChrisP978 3 роки тому

      Same. I've taken same pretty narly gravel roads in central MA in the name of a shortcut, unfortunately on a road bike.

    That was epic, I thought our 100 mile 9 hour fat bike ride in the snow was hard…oooooof! Sweet ride Ted.

    Bonked astronomically doing the 20% plus gravel to Mt Vision from Inverness. A BEAUTY AND A HALF.

    Amazing Ted! I’ve never experienced bikepacking, but as soon as I watched one of your videos, I knew instantly I wanted to do this. I’m training on Zwift so I can go as soon as possible!

    So Cool, but where's the gravel. Must've been tough to do that much road on 48mm tires.

  • @edwinhuizinga3042
    @edwinhuizinga3042 3 роки тому

    With the RidewithGPS route being exactly 666km it was a devil of a ride! Great video; great ride with friends. When exactly did the ride happen?

  • @simonguard5087
    @simonguard5087 3 роки тому

    Really enjoy following your films, are you a fan of the 650b wheel? I ask because i currently run 700c but thinking about making a purchase, my riding her in the UK is a real mixture of tarmac, fire trails, muddy single track and gravel when i can find it!

  • @tubesockets120v
    @tubesockets120v 3 роки тому

    Why do you choose the Super six over the gravel specific Topstone?

    • @Thomas-fy9yc
      @Thomas-fy9yc 2 роки тому

      That’s not a SuperSix, it’s a Supersix EVO SE. The SE is essentially a slacker Super X.You can’t stick much bigger than 40c tires on a carbon Topstone.

  • @jeremysweeten2792
    @jeremysweeten2792 3 роки тому +2

    Would’ve been great to see route and elevation profile at some point in video. Would’ve been even cooler to see your progress on that route throughout the video (interactive)

  • @ericpmoss
    @ericpmoss 3 роки тому +1

    I will never understand cyclists who insist on wearing black in the summer sun. Every f'ing video ends up with near heat stroke, and they all seem confused as to why.
