This was the first time racing the Rock Cobbler Gravel event in Bakersfield California. I breakdown my experience and talk through the course. I was on a road bike for this event, not really by choice, but I think it worked out well.

Great video! My ride that day ended at mile 17, so I didn’t get to see what I missed on the ride until your video which seems to capture everything well. I’m the guy in the most seen bull video, but I’m not the guy in the red helmet in this video, I’m the other one. Amazingly, the other guy is From my area & also from the Fresno Cycle Club, so apparently we’ve got 2 stupid club members. As he said where we ride we’re always riding past cattle, so like him, I didn’t think twice about it. Great video & thanks!

@robbchastain3036 2 года назад

That bull was serious about not sharing his trail. "Now go on, git!"

Was wondering who the other , way worse hit guy, was! Glad you’re ok. Does fcc have group gravel rides?

@tonyinderbitzin5324 2 года назад

@@joel2293 thanks! Yes, FCC All Roads is the gravel arm of the club. They’re having a great annual ride in 2 weeks, the Everyone Loves Raymond ride in Raymond CA. The ride is $95, includes a couple post ride beers & taco lunch & a great route. Ride is Saturday 3/19.

Hahahaha man your vids are great Bro!!!! I laughed my ass off, great content man. Yeah man I agree with you about your road bike, maybe bigger tires would have helped? I don’t know cause I’m a novice gravel rider. I have a diverge with 38 panaracer sk tires and that is a lot of fun for me. I’m 70 and enjoy riding ever since I was a kid, I also broke my shoulder hitting a fence and Fallon off my bike on cement at night but am recovering slowly. My diverge is a cheaper bike and so it is freaking heavy like about 21 lbs. anyways great race and congratulations on your ride and placing. I’m sure it was a hell of a ride👍🤪😎

Also realized how much I enjoy your ridiculous adventures by not having any for awhile..! Thanks for this....great fix!!!! Keep 'em coming, you animal! You are an incredible inspiration by showing us both great moments in a given undertaking, but more importantly those times when things are not going well at all, and how to get past that, maybe learn a thing or two, and still walk away with a big ol' smile. A notable moment like that would be when you were lying on your back on Engineer Pass, thinking, screw it, I'm just the Universe aware of itself right now....EPIC!
