  • Belgian Waffle Ride North Carolina is absolutely brutal! The course tackles over 130 miles with 14k feet of climbing, numerous rugged gravel sections, and single track. Find out how I landed a podium spot here at my home race.

    Great race and video, congratulations. What I liked most about it were the lessons learned. 1) When you catch up to someone like that, always test them even if your tired. There is a very good chance that they are done. Not testing them allows them to recover. 2) Always get in front on technical sprint finishes. It’s very hard to pass someone sprinting in technical corners. The draft is not so important in that scenario. 3) Play it safe re the gearing selection. If you had lowering gearing for the steepest bits you would have saved your legs better then your competitors and probably been able to drop them on the final sections. No one every lost a race because they had too low gearing. Usually your lowest gear doesn’t effect your top end.

    Awesome result, congrats. Question for you Dylan, what are you planning on running at Crusher? First year doing it and I plan on running 45 Maxxis Ramblers. But I see most people doing a 38-42 size tire. You tend to run larger tires which I prefer, so I trust your opinion more than most.

    Awesome. I'm an ex-enduro rider dipping my toes into gravel by doing the entire Southeast Gravel Series ( mixed mileage options....mostly long course but some short as well) as well as short option for Bootlegger, The Old Fort 50 mtb race and Cranksgiving Enduro....I have no idea what I am doing. I will be 49 this year and like beer a lot. My goal is to just not stop pedaling I suppose and see how it all plays out.

    Hey Dylan, I really like your videos and appreciate the mix of science and grit. I have done one 24 hour solo MTB and am about to train up for another. I would love to see you analyze pacing, power, nutrition, rest for a 24 hour race. I bet there are many ways that you could make us regular folks way faster in an event like that where I have not seen much science.

    The lower heart rate is interesting. I’ve noticed it’s getting harder for me to achieve my max heart rate along with my resting heart rate is getting lower. However I’m in better shape each year. Is this due to your body’s ability to process oxygen more efficiently?
