Does anybody know the MUSIC on background during his effort?

I do flats with the most flexible shoes. Complete opposite but nothing hurts on my ride.

great review mate, cheers! sneakers need straps or cage pedals imo

Nothing like pulling a turtle to get humbled

Or you could just cycle for fun and not worry about speed or cycling over long distances?

It may not be the steepest hill, but the road to powder mountain in Utah is long and pretty steep.

More drag = more strength , Protein Bars and shakes are processed food , eating rubbish in a fancy bottle . Castelli make the best Cycling clothes , dont buy a new bike , waste of Money until you are fast and then you need a faster bike . Wheels and Tyres will improve speed .

Those road shoes cost almost as much as my road bike. Like wow

Grats! Can u tell what telemetry overlay u use?

2 minutes in and your mind vomit is exactly like mine!

I just bought a bike from Temu and all these upgrades are more expensive than my bike …welp 😂😂.

Thanks!

My driver is about 30%

One more thing, you are a beast my friend!!!

I live real close to Pittsburgh and I've heard of this race, but do you ride from hill to hill throughout the whole race? If so, how long is the whole race? And yes, Pittsburgh has lots of hills, in fact my housing plan is on a hill, but they're worse in the winter!! Great video btw!!

may I ask which settings do you use when you put it on the chest? thanks

I'm not sure what "average" is because all the figures are people who have done tests. The "average" is probably stopping for a smoke break part way up the steep street and pushing it the rest of the way.

According to my weight and measuring the steps I did 295 watts for 15 minutes on a stair machine (87 kg and climb 102 x 8 inch stairs in a minute). I wanted to know if power meters on bikes were accurate and if I was anywhere near the 300 watt mark (I've never done it for an hour with just my legs) and used good old Newtonian physics to check. The stair machine had a watt gauge but it was actually reading low, and occasionally spazzed around. Only inaccuracies are possibly the scales and also make sure not to hold the rails. That and the cadence of the stairs being only 51 rpm and possibly some wasted power stepping I know there is potential. It did translate fairly well to real life when I ascended a London tower block (The Sky Garden) staircase that had 896 stairs in 7:19. My main enemy is my weight. I tried the durianrider high carb (the exact opposite of the keto diet) but it was mixed in with work colleagues handing me cheese sandwiches and crisps and chocolate bars, said yes to chicken wraps, and church lunches, and occasionally got myself something a bit high in fat, thus lost the small calorie deficit by cutting out fat yet still burning a bit with the abundant supply of glycogen when you give yourself plenty of sugar. I got as low as 80 kg gradually when I stuck but copying my friends' and even parents' eating in quantities that make me satisfied will put in the fat too much. I know this has potential if I don't do this. I did a whole hour on a full body bike at about 275 watts at around 70 rpm because arms were helping, so perhaps I am a masher on a full body machine. Usually on exercise bikes I'm at about 90 rpm. I measured on an older matrix and was putting out more sustained power (nearly 300 on the guage) at level 15 at 90 rpm. Level 14 needed 96 rpm for the same power and felt harder. On exercise bikes you need to perch on the tip of that fat flat saddle, so not ideal. They seem to be designed for middle aged women to sit lower and read the paper or phone while soft pedaling. The spin bikes I haven't been able to measure power unless I tighten the flywheel and dangle a weight on it until it moves to work out force, and then work out how fast the flywheel is going through a metronome, the bike gear ratio, and the flywheel diameter. Then check it again to see if the friction has changed when the flywheel is warm.

In cycling nothing beats the feeling than riding something that you actually really enjoy. I recently bought a Wilier, and it oozes quality, feel, comfort, speed, for me it looks incredible and it's red (which means it is already fast). Just having that feeling alone makes me want to go out more, do more challenges, conquer more goals. And see more of my surroundings. So for that alone, the bike is perfect for me

“There’s no coffee”😂😂😂😂

Wait a minute, Mitch! There’s been a fault on this videos thumbnail! I know exactly you‘re no longer just an average cyclist but an above average cyclist for quite a while 😂

What's the Strava plugin that calculates tacos?

the only important thing is : is it faster?

I needed this video. Thank you

Hybrid bike, raised flat bars, wide cushioned seat, spiked flat pedals, exercise pants, t-shirt, running shoes. 💪💪💪🦵🦵🦵

“Everyone thinks they have the best cycling in the world”, and here I am in New Orleans, ha. No hills, drunk drivers, hot and humid as Satan’s grundle…

You need go to Madeira island in Spain, there is most steepest hills.

I’m always racing the people on the bike path that don’t know I’m racing them.

So for me the whole buying a new bike thing actually dramatically increased my speed and everything. I mean givin i was using an old 1970s iverson frame and i upgraded to a giant ocr c3. Sometimes getting a new bike is all you need

Flat pedals take time to learn, but I am a mt biker so I have the skills to use them. :P

M81 woodland pants I cut into shorts and random shirt while mountain biking is the goat

What’s the name Of the program that you are using to replicate the road?

OMG, I've been riding so many flat roads this summer, now I will keep doing that and forget I saw this. LOL

Bro need to make up his mind. Two years ago he put road tires on his gravel bike, lol.

My thighs are twitching and sore just from watching that. What the actual f?

For myself the act of "gravel cycling" isn't necessarily as enjoyable as cruising up or down smooth tarmac. However I find working my ass off to reach new vistas or POI's infinitely more rewarding than the monotony of watching my Strava data increase by decimals as I repeatedly train the same routes, day in and day out. If I was in your position and had multiple bikes, I would lean into your gravel bike as a method of adventure. Outfit it with the widest, knobbiest tires you can (maybe even 650b) and use it when you want to break up the daily grind of training. Don't worry to much about the route, just find some POI's and go.

I used to gef numb toes when riding in my old shoes. Then I upgrade to wide carbon soles. Voila! Problem solved. Now I get numb foot because soles are too stiff.

From my experience, protein kind of slow down carb absorption. Also I notice my body does not response well to gel. Rice and potatoes are best. Mashed potatoes are very fast, hit me like a train.

I weighed 311 pounds as we entered into the lockdown. I had been losing to alcohol addiction for over a decade, so when we went into lockdown, I finally decided to take an hour each day to walk. They say you gotta learn to walk before you run, and for me that was true...except I had to walk before I learned to ride (after a 20-year hiatus from bikes). After that, I got on my exercise bike (35 minutes felt like an eternity!). Then, I rode around a parking lot from anywhere between 2-6 miles (and THAT seemed like I was riding for another eternity!). Then, I just kept on riding. I started meeting friends for rides, and as my riding increased, I was able to stop drinking completely. I began to experience joy and happiness, and even people who didn't really even know I was an alcoholic knew I had changed. They saw it as though a veil had lifted from over my demeanor. Like you, Mitch, I hope to ride the rest of my life. I truly enjoy it. It helps me be happy. No, it's not WHAT makes me happy, but it's a piece of the picture of my happiness. Anyway, that's my "Ride to be Happy" story. Thanks for sharing yours.

Hello Mitch, do you happen to have a promo code to use at Ritte? I’m looking into buying a new bike or frame as I do also ride a BMC (same size and height) so I want to upgrade😊

It never gets easier, you just get faster

This ride is a great destination ride. I start in Alhambra and make a good morning of it. A good and fun challenge!

Awesome narration and humor. Had me cracking up. 😂

Hey Mitch. Nee viewer. LOVE the channel. Do you still need to fuel with carbs if sticking to zone 2 ? Probably a dumb question but. 😂😂

that handle bar bag is killing your aero gains

Vettel

Great vid. Add fructose vs glucose discussion nxt vid pls. Glucose to blood. Fructose 10g/hr converts to glucose by liver? So u have a full glucose drink. I.e. never use powered. They use 100% fructose (hfcs). Gatorade uses sucrose = 50/50glu to fru.

Yeah, this channels the real deal. Just subbed. I have my first gravel bike that I'm picking up this Saturday, coming from riding mountain bikes for the last 6 years, channels like these are what I need to be surrounding myself with. Cheers! 👍

I wear thongs which leave me at a disadvantage .

Sebastian Vettel knows so much about shoes!
