Let us know when you find a good energy bar. Been searching around. Sugar contents are high. Nice ride, nice bike computer and a nice massage thingy. Take care, Al
for the KAROO, it looks like you actually want a Garmin 830: mapping, activity profiles and a much better battery life than the karoo + ecosystem - Varia Radar, Index weight, can connect to Bontrager light network etc.
I own both… The Karoo’s screen is worlds better. Karoo’s screen is snappy and much higher resolution maps. Karoo is like a smart phone. The Garmin looks like 1980’s technology.
Wow I just did nearly this same ride on my own a few days before you, except I took Crown Zellerbach. Sure wish I had waited for this video to come out before I left! ☺️
Same with meal replacement drinks, they are all sweet 😏 The closest I could find to savory energy bars are those EPIC bars, but they are basically beef jerky, except they taste worse than jerky.
I am so with you on the need for savory energy bars. Keep thinking I'll make my own. I have made my own curry breakfast granola and love it so . . . maybe I should try my hand at a bar. Or we could just keep eating real food with high fat content so we can get in the needed 2000+ calories. My stomach likes real food better when I'm pushing my system.
If I want great maps for exploring: Android Phone, Locus Map Pro, maps with bike profile, and a powerbank (for battery life) - I use an old Sony Xperia Z3 for this. As I am riding with a handlebar bag all the time I have plenty of room for a power bank (without this the phone dies after 4-5h). The map feature is the reason why I do not use my Bolt that often. If I had to buy a new computer: Garmin Edge 1030, nothing else.
was gonna ask when you would do a review for the gps when it suddenly happened. hehe thanks! agree on the savory power bar. there a lot of people out there watching their sugar intake. make it happen man!
Great video. I have grown to love the Banks-Vernonia trail this (Covid) year! Also agree about the savory powerbars (enough with the sugar sweet already) ... and the puppy cut on the Yorkie looks stellar.
Great video as always. Thanks for the promo code on the Theragun. I’ve been eyeing that baby for a while and thanks to you I just pulled the trigger (see what I did there.) 😍
Dustin - Although not an energy bar, Epic makes a line of savory protein bars, that are meat based. I agree though. Savory is nice from time to time. There are days on the bike where the last thing I want is peanut butter mouth while I'm breathing heavy up a mountain.
Nice ride-I am so jealous of those roads and trails, either you edited all the traffic out or there wasn’t any? Broken hip-which is slowly getting better-says no long Autumn ride for me this year-cardiology says no riding at all until they sort my heart out……so I need you to keep riding so I can at least get a fix vicariously. Sad isn’t it?-oh, and another thumbs up for savoury bars-enough of the sickly sweat stuff already!
Thanks for posting the route. My buddy Jesse and I are doing this on the 20th of September. Any scary spots along the route? Gnarly Traffic spots? Totally dig the channel and content.
Couldn’t agree more with the need for more savory energy snacks, like maybe a veggie curry bar or some kind of Mediterranean flavor or a tomato basil crisp bar. Idk just spitballin..
Excellent video. You style in a helmet like no one else. Really, this video is just epic. It's not JaBig epic, but it's the most enjoyable bike watch for a while. I'ma paint your saddles. Taupe.
I’ve failed on 2 attempts at the century ride. Maybe this will be the year. I’ve done 100 kms a few times but my butt doesn’t seem to want to let me get the 100 miles.
