I rarely comment, but I just had to. I can’t emphasise enough how much you have helped me become a better cyclist, I was a fairly average cyclist in my club last year but after applying your science based training tips I’m now one of the fastest and being selected to compete. To see your channel grow so much in the same way is incredible and well deserved, and I’m so happy to see you having an amazing season (302W NP for 5 hours is nuts 😅) Thanks Dylan :)

You achieved a significant improvement! You were ranked 41st in 2022, but this year you've jumped to 16th place, which indicates that your training has been very effective. This video does a great job of bringing the racing experience right into our homes, allowing us to witness the effort put into the race and the filming. I participated in a 2-hour mountain bike race 25 years ago in Austria, and it remains the most physically demaging experience I've ever had.

Overall you had a great race. I love your insights on all of the gravel races. I was fortunate enough to get into a few of the Lifetime Series races this year that I had been not picked in the lottery for years. Now that I am on the verge of 60 and have an arrhythmia my goal is to finish...No longer is it to finish at the top of my age group. The gravel at Big Sugar was by far the worst of the year of any rides in the series. For Unbound I ran Hutchinson Toureg's in 40mm and they seemed fine but a slow-ish tire. I also ran these tires at The Crusher (Dooode!!!...where is a video on The Crusher?) and at Gravel Worlds in Nebraska. Then for The Rad I put on some 50mm GravelKings, which I also ran at Big Sugar. The sealant that I ran was a mix of Silca, Bontrager and MucOff about 1/2 Silca and a 1/4 of the others with some left over FinishLine Fiberseal. I did not flat at Big Sugar but I got a puncture that I never knew I had as the tire sealed, the frame had the tell tale sealant spray on it. Great video, thank you so much for sharing your insights and experience.

@MaxwellPowers666 11 месяцев назад

From Goettl, Werner, to Dweezle, and others creating gravel content yours is by far the best. The detail you go into explaining equipment choices and the humor sprinkled in really makes these race reports a lot of fun. Keegan may be the most talented but he is by far the least relatable. Looking forward to hear about your 2024 training plan to finish 14th overall in the LGP.😂

@durwoodhill2798 11 месяцев назад

Dylan, your commentary about how you've seen improvement in your fitness and power is inspiring. Work harder and smarter and the results will come: you're living proof. Your philosophy on "success" is also very motivating, it seems to emphasize becoming your mentally (because suffering requires GREAT mental strength) and physically strongest and "giving them hell" to the best of your abilities on the race course. And I love the "always empty the tank at the end" approach, it's not just about winning or losing, it's about finishing having given your absolute all: it's awesome!! Thanks for sharing and congratulations for what you accomplished this year!!

@TurneyUK 11 месяцев назад

32onzes that’s a ridiculous amount of sealant = 900 grams. That’s also rotational weight, so harder to accelerate. I’m wondering if you could ditch the sealant and just use a tyre insert. Had a quick Google search and I found one that’s 130 grams per tyre. If you could save yourself half a kilo of rotational weight over five hours that might be a big boost. Obviously I’m not saying you should, but might be worth testing. You could still add a couple 100 grams of sealant on top of that and you’d still be less than 1/2 a kilogram.

Great video! Would love it if you used your awesome research skills to review the literature and give us an objective video on the risk of heart attacks for older riders who still put themselves deep into the pain cave as they get older. I am in late forties now, don't train as much as I used to, but still bury myself at cyclocross races a few times a year. I have no known health issues, but wondering how risky it is "shocking the system" with that full intensity that only racing can give? I would also be curious what the literature says about long term impacts i.e. even if immediate heart attack is not a risk, are you increasing your long term heart risks when achieving your best 5 hour power as described in this video? A video explaining what types of activities have been shown to have what type of heart impacts would be awesome!
