This really speaks to me on so many levels... like I literally cried the entire video. I've been overweight my entire life and although I've recently lost nearly 85 pounds and plan on 60 more I know what the journey on and off the bike in life is. Never.... NEVER.... under ANY circumstance.... give up. Keep. Moving. Forward. I love cycling!
100 miles on gravel, in adverse conditions is absolutely no joke. Probably equivalent to 150+ on the road with favorable conditions. And she did it with a smile on her face. Respect!! Marley is exactly what cycling needs - thanks for being so inspiring.
Thank You! I am a youtube cycling video addict and while there are there are many amazing videos on youtube, this is the best. Just got back from a ride this morning after watching this video and have to say, it was the most fun I have had on my bike lately. Couldn't stop smiling. Again, Thank You Marley!!!!!
Truly amazing Marley killed it - I did my first 100 miler last year ended up with 5 gravel centuries by the end of the year ANYONE can do this you just have to pedal, eat, drink and SMILE
Well done, Marley, and thank you for the perfect timing! My first century ride will be in 5 weeks and I've been losing my confidence. I'll watch this video again for inspiration a day or two ahead of my ride. Keep on killing it, Marley!
Truly inspirational. I am riding my first century in 10 weeks in memory of my best friend who sadly passed away from a long cancer battle, I have never ridden far before but determined to get there. 🤞
I have been about 25 lbs overweight most of my life. In my youth I managed to eek out several centuries on the road. Now in my late 40s, I am still active but no longer able to do more than 30 miles (yet). I will plan for centuries again but only after I keep up with biking for two more years. This woman is a tour de force on her bike.
Great job Marley. Just reminded me how I felt after finishing my first 200km brevet. Next few days you're walking around not needing to do ANYTHING usefull, cause, you know... You've earned it 😊
Why did this almost make my shed some tears?!?! Awesome job on not just completing that route, but also doing a wonderful job of documenting the journey!!!
Cool video! I recall the shoe being a much bigger challenge on the day of the ride. 🤣 Keep crushing it. Congrats on Unbound and congrats on your Mid South finish as well.
Marley, you're a badass! 100 mile on the pavement is hard enough but completing a century on gravel takes it to another level! You are amazing. "with these thighs"
Way to go, Marley! Question, though, was this recorded before you did STP last summer (which is two centuries a day apart....Seattle to Portland, for those who don't know about that event)?
Really hope 'big people' realize they can still do all the fun stuff. They just have to get out and do it. (Cycyling is an exceptionally good choice, as cyclist only care if you are riding, not the level of rider you are).

A hundred miles on pavement is something to be proud of. A hundred on gravel is even more difficult. Nothing but respect. 🤙
This had me smiling the whole time. I had given up on my dream of riding a century, but this is the inspiration I need.
