First, you have completely turned your health around. Second, you have successfully adopted the sport of cycling into your lifestyle. Third and most remarkable to me because I am struggling with this one right now, you have elevated your fitness to become your best possible athlete. Your content is superb, your production is top notch (for example today, this drone footage), and your sense of humor is relentless. But these days you are inspiring me to invest in my best fitness. Thanks Christie, and congratulations on your "A" level success. You have earned it.
@@ChristieBrinker Having complemented your video production, I think I speak for many of your followers when I say it's not about the production. It's about the basset hounds. Just kidding. It's about you, your insights, sense of humor, training, your tips, and following your journey for inspiration.
The smile on your face when you found the GoPro... a picture. And that donut looked so , so scrummy. Just found your channel; hope you keep posting content.
Very smart bringing containers for the donuts. I would have shoved the bag in my backpack and been very unhappy with my smooshed donuts when I got home. lol
Couldn't watch the races love, but great job. The climbs always upgrade people. One thing I wish ZP didn't do was upgrade you in a series if you had done the majority of the races in the lower category. The next thing that will change your Zwift experience (similar to IRL) is joining a Zwift based team. I raced a bunch against the same people and they reached out to me a few times, and I bit (CRYO-GEN). I didn't really expect anything to change for me in terms of my positioning in races, as I was winning D cat races. Since joining the team, I've not only increased my FTP, but I finally won my first C cat race. I also have a better grasp of the type of rider that I am. The other good part of being in a team is team tactics will matter in some of these Zwift races, whether points or time based. And also, being able to communicate on discord and actually being able to make things happen for the team as a whole. Also, the Thursday WTRL TTT is definitely a team experience.
I've often wondered why Go-Pro don't have some sort of strobe you can activate with your phone or automatically if it gets separated (loses wifi or bluetooth signal). It would make them easier to find, even around the house!
I can't believe you found the go pro!!! That's amazing! I believe I have indeed eaten a doughnut while riding a bike on Zwift. I tend to fuel however makes me happy when I'm on the long rides. Normally it's pizza. Mmmmmm, pizza. But I think I had a doughnut when I did the KoS. =) There's this food truck here called "Ellies Doughnuts" and their cinnamon and sugar original is SO good. Races sound so fun! Congratulations to you on pwning that Cat A race!
Thanks for sharing! Just curious what you did about your Leadville stage race entry? I kicked mine back to 2022 and the Leadville MTB I'm going to move to 2023. Hope you have fun in Colorado. My family and I are heading there as well for a few weeks. Cheers!
I actually had an entry through a sponsor and because of the pandemic we never actually had the chance to sign up. So technically I have no entry to worry about 🤣 I think that is a solid plan, 2021 is going to be insane for Leadville
Guest purchase a checkpoint sl5 found your videos on UA-cam really really love them have no idea how you're able to produce such great video while working and biking.. but for me they are more interesting than any TV show hope everything is okay can't wait until your next one
Getting some veins and biceps going, lean power machine .you can buy a light bike but if someone sheds some pounds its amazing how that transforms into.output and results , your doing great
Love your bike! Would be interesting to see how you get on the A's. As a lighter rider myself I'm trying to find the best way to become competitive in the B's and also hit that 4w/kg!
You're looking super fit! Were you dieting specifically to lean out or was this just a by product of the Zwift racing series? Would love an update on you current conditioning (other than riding) and diet. Thanks for the great content!
Thank you! I actually dieted through the winter and ended the diet before the Zwift racing started. I had a goal that I hit right as we went into quarantine. I've just been maintaining that weight through the series. I will definitely be doing some videos showing what my training is like now and planning to do a full day of eating video soon!
Would you recommend Zwift over Trainerroad for training! I’ve been on TR for 4 years, never tried Zwift which looks more fun! Thanks for your videos, they’re great 🙂, keep up the good work 🙂🙃
Just found you on her @Christie Brinker and love the vids. Wish I was brave enough/good enough to do it! What the HECK was that on the trail though? Where do you reside?
Thanks! Go to your local bike shop, they should have some saddles for you to try out. Saddles are pretty individual for most people so ride as many as you can! Also, it helps to get your sit bones measured, will help you pick the right width!
I'm definitely a Batman fan, but my understanding is that Metropolis is the town where he lived/protected as an adult and Smallville was where he was raised. But I believe that was unknown in the beginning.
I still have my subscription but I haven't been on a plan in over a year. I used it during the winter for doing my coaches custom workouts as you can create your own and execute them on TR! Still love their product!
Hey Brinker, hope you’re enjoying summer riding. The Zwift Crit series was fun though! Races were pretty short and fast!! And there’s a mini 2-race TT series coming up. Maybe you’re interested and will stream? m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=10157462100181334&id=81868581333&set=pcb.10157462100301334&source=49

What happened to this channel?
@@ChristieBrinkerwhere are you???
I miss your updates. I hope you are ok. Since I watched you I got my gravel bike and a smart trainer.
The smile on your face when you found the GoPro... a picture. And that donut looked so , so scrummy. Just found your channel; hope you keep posting content.
No more videos? Where have you been? I enjoy your videos. Hope you are doing well.
Well done on the FTP boost, finding your GoPro, improving in the Zwift races and avoiding being bitten by snakes. Really enjoy your content.
haha, when you put it like that it sounds like I had a pretty epic adventure
Congratulations Christie! It's been Great following your Zwift racing from the B's to The A's! Thanks for all the Great Videos!
Thanks so much Billy! 👍
You're a trooper Christie! Peddle to the metal baby...
she's got the mettle to pedal!
🤘🤘
Your 10 week race series was awesome!! Glad to have been able to watch it throughout!! Looking forward to when you race again!
Thanks Chris!! Was a fun time indeed!!
You continue to inspire me to be work harder on the bike. Thanks for sharing your great content! PS: Glad you found your Go-Pro!
Thank you so much! It's so awesome when you guys let me know you enjoy the content!
Missing your vids! Hope all is well!
Me too, I miss her videos as well. Hope she’s ok.
Very smart bringing containers for the donuts. I would have shoved the bag in my backpack and been very unhappy with my smooshed donuts when I got home. lol
I put a lot of thought into it 🤣
Ha, found you on Instagram, glad to know you are still at it, looks like even more hardcore.

Thanks for the team advice! I definitely think it would be interesting/fun!
I like how you laid down the law to the that snake! "We cool, man! You go that I way, I'll go this way!" LMAO
Bravo, you've earned your "Super" donuts! I'm really enjoying your channel. Keep it up!
Thanks Reggie!!!
What a nice channel, subscribed 🙂 greetings from Europe/Austria 👍🇦🇹
Great video. The outdoors around you look amazing.
I've often wondered why Go-Pro don't have some sort of strobe you can activate with your phone or automatically if it gets separated (loses wifi or bluetooth signal). It would make them easier to find, even around the house!
How quickly your mood changed once you found your gopro. I was feeling for you too.
Love your video style and personality.
Thanks so much!! 👍
@@ChristieBrinker of course!
Great video!! I lost my Apple earpod running in the winter in snow. After 1 hour I found it in 1 foot of snow!! 💪
Hope you're well. Miss the videos :)
I can't believe you found the go pro!!! That's amazing!

Which UA-camrs do you like to watch while on the trainer? I only have 5 of your videos left to watch! 😭😱 great stuff! 🤩🙌💪
Nice Madone...love the paint scheme. Interesting you'd take an arrow bike to do errands.
was trying to do them fast! 🤣

Thanks for your videos, you have inspired me to get out and ride many times
Just found you on UA-cam. You're awesome. Love your spirit. Ride on.........
Thanks so much and glad you like the vids!
Enjoyed watching!💞 loved this video. Ride safe!👍
Miss you hope all is well 💕
How come there havent been uploads? Not any events to train for I guess.

@9:30. Youve got fantastic arms (esp deltoids/biceps). You must do a lot of upper body work too. Very sculpted looking.
Please, come back to us... 💖
she still posts to instagram and Strava! must just be burned out on making YT videos!
@@DeanJohnson67 , hope she cames back, miss her videos.
Glad you found your GoPro, I'd be sad if mine got lost too!! And nice snake aka trail kitten :)
Great job, now I gotta start training when I get back from Boston
Get your bike fixed!
@@ChristieBrinker its already at the shop!!

@@ChristieBrinker Awesome, looking forward to it!
christie. Are you still around? Haven't seen any good stuff from you in quite a while. Hope your doing ok. Skål! 😊
Where is Christie
Nothing for a year , hope you're ok
Great videos! Q: what type of career do you have? Do a few of your coworkers bike as well?
Where have ya gone
Gorgeous looking trek Madone ! What helmet brand are you using?
Thanks! It's a Kask Protone, really like it!
Hoping to see you back in videos
Hope you are well
Miss your vlogs
Come back plz👍
Would you recommend Zwift over Trainerroad for training! I’ve been on TR for 4 years, never tried Zwift which looks more fun! Thanks for your videos, they’re great 🙂, keep up the good work 🙂🙃
I think they both are really cool. I prefer TR for my specific training. I also use Zwift for more "fun". So yeah.. I have both 🤣
T shirt rides are the key to happiness
Still missing this lady!
Donuts. One of the best reasons to ride.
Wait, was the audio on your bike at the beginning recorded using a mic or just your pixel buds?!
It was through a mic on the camera, I was just listening to podcasts on the pixel buds 😁
Why haven’t you posted in so long?
Just found you on her @Christie Brinker and love the vids. Wish I was brave enough/good enough to do it! What the HECK was that on the trail though? Where do you reside?
Thanks for watching! I think it was just a friendly black snake 🐍 I am located in southern Illinois and western Kentucky
Love your channel! I’m looking to upgrade my stock saddle and wondered if you had any suggestions before I shell out a wad of cash 🤙🏻
Thanks! Go to your local bike shop, they should have some saddles for you to try out. Saddles are pretty individual for most people so ride as many as you can! Also, it helps to get your sit bones measured, will help you pick the right width!
BTW it is Smallville not Metropolis?
I'm definitely a Batman fan, but my understanding is that Metropolis is the town where he lived/protected as an adult and Smallville was where he was raised. But I believe that was unknown in the beginning.
Xert vs TrainerRoad?
Happy, happy, Joy, joy, Gopro is found 😂
Oh man, I was upset for a minute lol
Are you still using stages power meter on your mtb?
This video is hurting me, I can't ride outside right now because of having ankle replaced.
No more Trainerroad?
I still have my subscription but I haven't been on a plan in over a year. I used it during the winter for doing my coaches custom workouts as you can create your own and execute them on TR! Still love their product!
Christie Brinker i also like TR but it gets boring, i think if your not a pro just enjoy the journey.. great videos, you looked ripped btw 💪🏻💪🏻👍🏻
You still around?

1:59 your face looks ridiculously cute
Haha thanks!! A bit sleepy!
MIss these video
Did I really just fucking experience 42 seconds of fucking intro? Who's going to pay me for this lost time that I will never get back?
