I will make it all the way to the end of this video! Just made it to the tree crash which was a scare! The 'almost' crash in the sandy firewood at 13.9 miles was also a clencher 😂 not to mention the left turn on loose stones that was quick reactions to save it!! Love the fact you managed to post the whole race. You are super strong and seem to pace really well, looking forward to seeing how you get on. Loving the content so far and good luck this year. 👍

watched the beginning, skipped to the 45min mark to see the rain start, skipped to the end to see how bad it got. bikes arent supposed to sound that crunchy even on gravel LOL. nice job

ahhhhh my home roads! Your videos are so, so great for the trainer, thank you!!

Nice video. Please keep them coming, 45 degrees and raining on this winter day.

Rad result !!! What data overlay app do you use, I used to use Garmin Virb but trying to match up the data to the video file is now near on impossible. Keep on smashing it 🤙🏻

Yeah that dude needs dealt with. Gross behavior. Anyhow the rest of this race was great, you were definitely hustling! I haven't watched any bike racing in 19 years on RUclips lol. I haven't looked but I hope rest of your year has been good. Thanks for the experience! - What place did you finish?

good

great ride

That is a beautiful route. Will try it next year

Dude nice work, was it really 81 degrees?? That guy in front of you with the loose fitting shirt was shredding as well!

To me, this is the coolest route from Michigan gravel race series. Thanks for sharing!

Great job. I’m looking forward to starting gravel racing next summer. What tires do you run? Thank you.

this was my first gravel race, i had a blast! i only did the 20 and ate shit a few times in the sand but i would do it again.

Good job! I'm doing my first ever gravel race tomorrow morning. The 50 mile De Ronde van Grampian.

Nice work. What was the width of your tires?

nice finish! What size tires were you running and what bike? This was my first race, first gravel race & first time riding 100 miles ever. I did finish though. Any tips on picking up speed other than riding a shit ton more? 🤣 edit: I also rode the course blind. Big M was sketchy with zero brakes.

What gear do you use to overlay the stats on your video?

Matthew - Great video of the event! Gave me a stress response reliving it. I was the rider on your right early on with the second "Garmin."

What software are you using. Now that Garmin's VIRB Edit is worthless trying to sync data with video

What advice would give you us 50-60 yr. cyclists who want to train for this type of race, I.e. type and brand of bike, fitness, how you train yourself?

I am trying to increase my stamina when mountain biking, what kind of off bike training do you do? I saw in another video you completing Highland twice! I can barely do it one time! Impressive! Also, which bike do you typically use for XC?

Testament to your perseverance. WITNESSS!

Watching the whole video

Super strong ride Matt, congrats. Thanks for sharing. It was nice to see me struglling on your wheel for sometime time hahaha. I was second in your AG. Cheers.

stopped watching, the lens was always toodirty

Congratulations on the win in tough conditions!

Fantastic race. Great effort to chase back a few times. Super tough conditions. To our detriment, groad and two-track conditions in Manistee NF after Mile 35 or so were much worse than for you with more rain and more traffic for us. My grippy tires were great on the two-track, but an impediment on the soft groads. I was spent by Big M.

Awesome video cover pic!

like 👍

Thanks for the video. You're an absolute beast! Be careful, trees always win. I really enjoy your content and is my "go to" when I'm suffering on my Trainer Road workouts. Keep up the good work!

You guys were gunning it this year… I see more and more the spirit of gravel falling away, guys are fighting for position like it’s the world champs or something, pretty silly. I mean really…. You not exactly scoring UCI points.😂😂😂. Well Done for keeping upright. Get some rest and let yourself recover now.

People who drop down a category infuriate me.

it is so sad, that all the riders want to be modern and now we have to see behind them as well as just in front, completely unnecessary, watch on an laptop screen and it rather disturbs than helps but otherwise good video of a place i could never visit living in germany on the eastern sea and being over eighty though in good health since i did not take the fake vaccine and tets.

Sick course. I didn’t know Michigan had hills or dunes.

Beautiful camera work love that clarity, makes it easier on my trainer watching this. Thanks....why those cheats on gravel bikes in the dry, hate that!

Gotta love the effort man, keep it up!

Was your heartbeat reading correct?

كانه طريق جبلي وراكبين رود 🤔

Hats off to you and the dude in the rigid fat bike.

what age group do you race in

What software/template are you using for the telemetry overlay?

great race, great pace, great place... bye from Italy 🇮🇹🇮🇹🇮🇹

Amazing video.😍

Gee get moving champ at the 16min mark.

Great set up with the front, rear views and overlays. The best way to handle those situations is, that's racing, but certainly feels bad wondering what if. Good showing for when you were moving

Nice rip, dude! Jealous of that huge group you had most of the day! Opted for wave 2 and really never found a group of consistent riders. Nice work!

Great review.😀

EDITION DO YOU USE GARMIN VIRB?

Great video and race. The lilac woman was pretty good too. The accident 9:06 : I think something happened to the guy's brake. He kind of look at them as if it jammed on their own.
