Get Fit, Stay Fit, Feel Good - 2026

30.1 miles today, 3k of climbing and it felt soooo good….until about 20 minutes ago, cramp on the inside of my leg. I shorted myself on electrolytes. Pickle juice to the rescue.

When I made up my bottles today I even questioned whether I had enough electrolytes but then told myself those famous last words, “you'll be fine.” Stupid me.

This was CRAZY to watch! You guys are racing same as a dirt bike but also have to do the work of the motor too? I was going to be really pissed off if that guy won the race after riding this guy's tail. Surprised to see gravel rigs in the mix, do they get massive headaches by the end? That trail wasn't that smooth. The video stabilization on that camera was fantastic too.

I just looked at the rest of this guy videos, his life is all made of successes. I am going to go to bed now and dream of mediocrity.

Ya the draft is rly important on this course cuz we manage ~18mph avg, especially w MTB bars. We can only go this fast in a pack.

It’s kinda amazing what a gravel bike with 50-55mm tires can do. It is difficult to charge all those rocks and drops without suspension - you just gotta hold on and not brake lol. I rode it today with 40mm tires. It was less fun and a little slower.

I think a MTB w drop bars is the fastest bike on this course. I’ll convert mine eventually to try it.
