Racing the Bon Jon Pass Out
I do lots of small events, but big events are fewer and further between on my calendar. I headed out to to Seattle and then the tiny town of Quilcene for the Bon Jon Pass Out gravel race courtesy of my friends at Rene Herse Cycles with the invitation.
With some inclement weather in store, we didn't know what to expect, climbing from sea level to just shy of 4,000 feet elevation, especially given the forecast for lightning, hail, and worse!
But the brave souls toed the startline and we had a great time all the same.

Packing for Unbound: The Never-Ending Struggle
Просмотров 34 тыс.Месяц назад
This day and age, there are lots of 200 mile races. But Unbound stands alone in the amount of hardware, stuff, parts, bits-and-pieces that are required to put together a fun, fast day. I put together this video to help show what I pack to prepare for our Gravel Locos-to-Unbound road trip and have my bike and Laura's bike ready for the action!
Riding Across Portugal to The Traka
Просмотров 13 тыс.2 месяца назад
The European Unbound?! That's the unofficial title of The Traka, certainly the most well known gravel race in the European continent. With 560, 360, 200, 100, and 50km distances as well as an action packed week full of programming, there's a lot going on. There's an extra lot going on when I (Ted, here) fly from home in Vermont to Levi's Gran Fondo then Sea Otter in California, straight to Port...

Is it a road race? A gravel race? Mixed terrain, maybe? Who knows but this event is going to be an absolute throw down of North American talent! Covering 138 miles and more than 13,000 feet of climbing, this event snakes its way all across Sonoma County. Follow along on my preview of the course as well as a bike check coming into this massive Saturday on a bike. See the course here: www.strava....

Let the good times roll. The first event of my 2024 season was the nordic ski race, the American Birkebeiner in Hayward, Wisconsin with @untappedmaple. From there, I flew home for one day and then was off to Mallorca for a dream cycling vacation (with a bit of work to fill in the gaps, i.e. lots of intervals) with Laura and a few friends. Next up, I flew directly to Texas and the inaugural Vall...
How to Ride Bikes All Winter Long
Просмотров 34 тыс.5 месяцев назад
It takes thick skin to ride a bike all winter long in New England. But it also takes the right clothes, quite a bit of knowhow when it comes to keeping your kit and bike clean, it takes the right set of fenders, and a vacuum water bottle... among other things. Tune in to see how Ted grits through three, four, five, six hour days on the bike riding through a harsh winter in his 2024 pursuit of g...

In the aftermath of the summer 2023 flooding in Vermont, towns were devastated, houses and businesses were underwater, roads were washed away, with tens of millions of dollars forecasted to bring VT life back to normal. It was the only reasonable thing to do to cancel Ted's XL'ent Adventure's ride across the state which was slated for one week after this historic flooding. All through the summe...

    Quick RH question.....do you know if the Hatcher Pass has the same performance/tread pattern as the Snoqualmie Pass. I am interested in trying some RH tires and know you do (amazingly) well on the latter, but I'm heavier / taller and thinking of trying the Hatcher Pass....currently on 42 and 45 Pathfinders. Thanks !

    Lachlan is a pleasure to listen to. What a G! If you want to see the future of Gravel Racing. World Cup MTB could be a good reference as to where it might end up. Started NORBA racing in 1988…now look at where it is today.

    Congrats at the win. I went with the same tire choice and it’s my goto option for chunkier stuff in the PNW. I was in the 2nd start group and saw tons of riders cut the race short or need aid because of the rain/cold!

    Great setup, I built up an Cannondale EVO SE with force 2x and running the Manostash on Reserves 40/44 wheels, used it for a gravel race last month in a crazy mixed terrain of mud, muck, sand, chunk, fine gravel, and tarmac, and it handled fantastic. Ran the endurance casing. No wheeping and havent noticed a puncture since I installed them two months ago with orange seal.

    My rental bike didn't have enough low gears. The legs gave out at the 25 mile marker after battling a constant headwind. I'll bring my S & S equipped Moots next time. With a 24 - 42 low gear, it should be no trouble ticking off this major bucket list item and adding it to the Stelvio, Mt. Evans and Pikes Peak. Allez!
