Getting Crit Fit
Великобритания
Добавлен 5 дек 2013
Hi, I'm Ryan and I am a Cyclist and Videographer based in Leeds, UK.
On this channel, I Vlog about all things Cycling.
Road, MTB, Gravel.
I'm also a level 3 cycling coach (ABCC). My coaching philosophy is simple: I am a firm believer that if you have knowledge pass it on to those who do not. I base my coaching decisions on my own research, not assumptions. And I try to keep my training plans simple and easy to follow, without glitter and sparkles. Essentially everything you need and nothing you don't.
Enjoy!

BEST GRAVEL COURSE in the UK!?! (The Gralloch Gravel Race Breakdown)
Просмотров 4 тыс.3 месяца назад
Hey everyone! Today, I’m going to break down my race at The Gralloch, a thrilling gravel race through the hills of Galloway and southern Ayrshire in Scotland. This race is in its second year, part of the UCI Gravel World Series, and serves as a qualifier for the UCI World Championships. The competition is fierce, with age group categories and a slot for the elites. If you finish in the top 25% ...

Embracing the Unknown - A Cycling Film

As I reflect on our recent excursion into the heart of the Dales, one question resonates within me - "Why am I doing this?" What was meant to be a simple getaway spiraled into a 24-hour odyssey of endurance, shared camaraderie, and unforgettable experiences. From our departure from Leeds to the daunting Norwood Edge climb, the journey was a test of both physical and mental resilience. Riding my...

How you can OVERINDULGE and STILL LOSE WEIGHT
Great ride.., but you burnt all your matches early on. Imagine what could have been?
Yes for sure, but where’s the fun in sitting in the wheels 😅
Happy to see Ryan, looks a great day out
Good luck 🤞
Yes it is Brutal, one of our Airedale members, Luke, a cat 2 who you passed at the 5.20min mark, was taken out later, 3 broken ribs, 2 fractured vertebrae, a smashed up shoulder and more and 12 days in hospital, should not have to be like that. Some reckless riding by some.
Hey man, I rarely comment on vids, but I’ve only recently come across your channel. I’ve been wanting to do Crit Racing for years but I’ve never had the self confidence to just get out there and do it - A combination of being embarrassed that I’ll just bob around at the back within 5 minutes and just finding the idea of actual racing pretty intimidating. I’ve watched a load of your vids over the past couple of weeks and honestly they’ve just given me that little push I needed to finally go and do it. I’m still nervous about the prospect but your vids have been a real motivation to start racing. Thanks for videos and keep it up!
Love this! I’m not going to lie Crit racing is hard. The old adage of “you get faster, but it doesn’t get any easier” certainly applies. But I’d say just jump in a see if it is for you. I’d also find a group of people faster than you to train with, it certainly helped me joining a club like Alba Rosa that had training group/race team set up. I learnt a lot from them and got dropped a lot, but always came back stronger and more determined. Let me know how it goes!
Love this man!
Brilliant watch mate, you got yourself a new subscriber 😎
Awesome, thanks 🙏
This brings me a lot of hope. I fractured my pelvis in three places four days ago in a bike crash. I've made a lot of improvements over the last few days, but I'm feeling myself sinking into bits of depression knowing that I can't so much as take the dog out without it being an exhausting and painful event. Even if I don't have as quick of a recovery as you, I have a followup with an ortho doctor in about two weeks and I'm hoping for some good news about when I can get back on the bike. Cheers my friend, hope you've recovered and are doing well.
Sorry to hear. Over a year on and I’m more than fully recovered. I was actually quite lucky and was able to get back racing a few months after the crash. One thing that I would recommend is finding an S&C coach or Physio to help build strength around the area.
seen it now, oh man 😭😔you were looking strong and on it there though Ryan 💪 top 10 Seacroft Race 2025, you heard it here first :D (assuming you find a good mechanic ;) )
I was 7th last year at Seacroft, so a little disappointing this year. Podium for sure next year 🤌🏾
Great vid Ryan thanks for the racers eye view and thanks to you and the Alba boys for continuing to support our race. Impressive seated/unseated :D skills, can't believe that's the second time that's happened, you didn't mention that when we chatted on the finish line! :D
1st time was the seat post slipping by 2 inches 🤦🏾♂️
Excellent effort.
Thanks a lot
Would have won, hope that wall isn’t damaged
I think the wall won Tbf 😅
The Same Happened to me, was worried about over tightning seat post because it's carbon, it Dropped first 10mins of the race, didnt notice pot hole as i was tucked behind the back wheel of the group. If your chain is Slipping / Jumping Get Some BananaWax Drag & Friction Reduction Professional Racing ChainWax For your Chain. If your using clincher tyres, Try buying WCS Ritchey Race Comp Slick Tyres 25c better then any pirelli or Conti tyre.
Can add to that list carbon assembly paste for the seat post. Forgot to put it on this bike 🤦🏾♂️. And I prefer Hutchinson Fusion 5 tires, 28mm front, 30mm rear.
@@gettingcritfit Three Things I've learned Crit Racing that all the top Riders do 1. BananaWax Chain Drag Reduction & Friction Racing Chain Wax 2. WCS Ritchey Race Comp Slick Tyres 25c on Carbon Clinchers 215 grams 3. TPU inner Tubes 36grams Weighs Less than the Sealant, Safer on Corners. How Much Do the Hutch Fusion 5 weigh In 28c and 30c format.
@@cryptobond0079 tbh I don’t think weight of the tires matters when you are 96kg 😅 rolling resistance and grip on them is great though
@@gettingcritfit Every Watt and Gram Counts Over an Hours Race, Your Losing Energy. at 96KG Weight and Rolling Resistance Matters More. Small Details, Make Big Differences.
If you think that is Brutal, you should have ridden when I rode it on OPEN roads.
Car-nage?!?
Real shame Ryan a great watch - a very pragmatic summary!
Real shame, I was spectating yesterday and there were tonnes of mechanicals because of the road surface. Really poor when silly things like that affect the race.
It is the nature of town centre crits and is only going to get worse if councils and utility companies hire shoddy contractors.
@@gettingcritfit Starting to think my repurposing of an old CX bike as a crit machine (never owned a road bike) might not be the worst idea watching some of these onboards!
@@MxCraven 30mm tires at a minimum
Possibly the best video of the event I have seen. For clarity, it's entirely in Galloway, goes nowhere near Ayrshire. Your 50 percent pictures is well over the top, but there were a lot. Cramp got the better of a lot of us, so well done avoiding that issue.
Glad you enjoyed it
5:38 that giggle 😂
“Film me doing this end of a red bull rampage run celebration”… okay….
Un grande
spot on analysis
Telemetry: He started pedaling before the rider in front of him. Start pedaling at the exit of the bend, not in the middle of it.
Yeah that was crazy. Seriously hope he's good. 👍🏾💯
I saw this on Instagram 😮 What a mega crash🙈
I did the same long time ago, and broke my shoulder but I learned 😂😂
Peddled through the turn, then smashed on the front brakes 😢
Pedal strike
No one else was trying to pedal through that turn, jerry.
He threw his bike like he hated it
That would be called a "high side" I'm the moto world.
Pedal strike ...
Congrats on becoming a dad! It took me quite some time to get in to the swing of things with the little one but they are amazing!
French what do you expect
Rookie mistake
Cool video as always, mtb is nuts. I hope the family are ok.
Bro, fantastic video! Cheers! I've been an avid work out guy for 12 years now. I have recently placed a big emphasis on biking. Invested money and time in gear. In the past month I've love 8+lbs. I look forward to pushing myself further.
Just had a baby too (3 weeks old). Tempted to race next week. Fitness has gone off a cliff but you've inspired me to give it a shot!
So sad all the best of luck with the future boys and girls
I know that Sean's greatest desire - for a Tour de France win - eluded him in the end. But if you look at the number of wins he had during his professional career - 193 - he is one of the GREATEST ever to grace the sport. I could list them here, but it would take me all day to write it down!!! Absolute LEGEND, and a great inspiration for me to get involved in cycling many moons ago. Total respect for the man.
Did you feel anything in the legs from our ride the day before. Seen as it was punchier than expected?
I think the ride the day before helped more than it hindered. I also did everything I could to recover as much as possible in the 24hours between (eating, drinking, resting etc) As you can see from the race footage, I was missing that ‘snap’ and ability to do repeated punchy efforts, but I think that is more to do with the training I have been doing. Definitely felt more like a diesel than previously. But only just finished Base training, so to be expected.
Thanks for the info! Shame! :/
Congratulations Ryan, you seem to be adapting to fatherhood really well!
Welcome to fatherhood its defo your next big challenge. Great to see you riding over the hills of Yorkshire but way faster than me lol.
Challenge accepted
I took the very last vitus VRS1 Hardtail gravel bike for less than half the price from the store floor. Absolutely crazy this all happened.
Actually, when you fast long enough, you use your stored fat for energy so you do lose weight cycling while fasting. Just skip the energy drinks and food bars.
what did you use for Rider communication while on the Road, RAAM site says to use Vertix communication system did you use same
Great job Brexiteers
Do you know what will happen with the warranty for existing Vitus bikes?
Unfortunately not a clue. I’ve not had anything official from the company and doubt I ever will. I think it’s a good idea to make sure your insurance is up to date and claim via that if anything goes wrong. Shame as they were excellent bikes and I don’t really want to move to a different brand.
I ride a vitus venon brilliant
how tall are you ?
