I tried a Masters Race (Watsonville Criterium 35+) 

35 into the last corner against 35+..... yea, nobody's coming around you. lol

Hey Jeff! I didn't get the chance to talk to you that day but that was actually my first crit. I didn't even know what a crit was 2 months ago when I bought a gravel bike. I stumbled on your videos and gave it a shot. Hit my goals so I was happy. I bought a road bike now and am going to start training more seriously. Just wanted to say thanks for everything you do. That was me clapping on the finish line at the end, also i was yelling out time splits for chris haha

What’s up with long sleeve jerseys and one dude in long bibs, it’s Cali and spring/summer time right?😅 sth does not add up

35 and you're old? 😂 I started racing when I was 34.

Kind of unfair to allow a 21 year old to participate 😉

Reaney is awesome, but he probably shouldn’t have been allowed to influence a 35-39 district championship race. Kinda weird of Velopromo to make it a 35+ race and just pull out the 35-39 finishers.

Jeff casually putting out 1400w - Intelligentsia beast mode activated.

It's WATTSonville

My guy max took 3rd

Dam bro. Should be called Wattsville😊

can't wait for the p1, 2 let's go jeff

I have so many fond memories of Watsonville. Some of my least awful races.

Chris is a savage. Congrats guys!

Another thought about Steve sprinting out of that corner: he is not going smooth and consistent with the power while doing that. As you say, slow is smooth and smooth is fast. Though it’s difficult with so many technical corners to chase Chris, Steve was sprinting a lot through those hard corners to soften everyone up. But he’s also softening himself up, too. Great racing, guys! Looks like a combination of skill, strategy, and luck played perfectly in your favor! Always great to see you guys stomp out there

I'm from the UK and currently living in Ireland. One thing that I cant get my head around with US crits is how you manage to close a road on what is effectively is a suburban street. Do the residents not have something to say? We would never be able to race like this in the UK/Ireland due to residents not allowing it?

Had to put down 500+ watts super early to move up because of a bad start - dude you gotta practice your clip-ins, else we'll have to get you into SPDs, mash your foot down and go.

Ej did u dirty!!!!!

Missed watching you race 👌

Hi Jeff, i'm not a professional by any means or even a racer. I noticed the Mike's bikes developmental rider is bouncing a lot on his saddle.

prolly a dumb question but what about the ppl who need to get out of their driveway?

Hey, Jeff, when are we getting that Cat 3 Regalado RR Analysis?

that was sooth and fast, great finish 🚴✨✨

Masters Race👻👻👻

Really enjoyed the video. Bravo Mike’s Bikes 🎉

You should try Masters Nationals

Hey how do you add the wattmeter in your videos? :)

These guys are more in marginal gains then p1/2

Hello I am new to cycling and thinking of starting to race. When watching this video, about 8:00 you said that you’re being sloppy with the cornering, what would be an optimal line to take instead? Your videos are really cool thanks.

Ong first

Devo rider’s position is terrible. Boing boing boing. -U10

*not 35+ … 35-39 right? bc it was district championship ?

It's amazing how quickly that race was over. Within the first few laps he was gone and it was a race for second. Great job on the 1,2 finish. And no, it wasn't about your power, it was about knowing just when to attack (just before the last corner) and carrying that speed to the line.

You should do more chest cam pov videos

❤nice . Good job brother

I can't deal with roadies calling a fucking crit course "technical." Bro, it's a fucking road, a dip in the asphalt is not "technical." Try mountain biking.

35+ is not the old guys. The fact that you, and many (most) other 35+ riders are still competitive in their senior categories is evidence that they haven't really started their inevitable downward slide. Come back in 20 years and then we can talk.

Imagine if one of those residential cars starting backing out of the driveway. Or a parked car on the street.

Nicely done :)

you are so cool. maybe try sneaking into a cat5 race later. love the sandbag content. super cringe that you took a podium pic too.

The only interesting thing in this video is the blue sky!!!!!! Nice blue sky!!!! The rest is absolutely BS!

If there is at least one smart rider (not strong, but smart), you never win!

Seriously????? You should show your preparation for the race and before it starts. Your gear and kit and your interaction (if any) with the other riders before the race (like short interview) and their gear and kit... and so on... then you would have something really interesting to show in your videos since they are really boring and a recipe for sleeping fast... I don't know how some heros watch it to the very end just to see you sucking the blood of some poor rider and sprinting to lose another race... and at the end you want to sell a coaching course????? Really??????????
