    Incredible performance and incredible footage! You both can be very proud to achieve such a thing!
    I saw that you’re wearing blood glucose monitors. Can I ask what the purpose and benefit that gives in such long distance races? Do you feel like having that knowledge makes it easier to get the right stuff for the body and recover faster?
    Anyway. Wish you both the best 🫶✨🪄

      Thank you so much Anna 😊 I use the Supersapiens glucose monitor during races to improve my fuelling and try to maintain stable glucose levels which I found really helpful, specially to avoid underfuelling. Definitely, the data is super useful to know when to eat certain foods, as it changes a lot from one person to another and how to fuel to improve recovery. I have a podcast episode coming up Wednesday next week talking about the glucose monitor and how I use it, as I got many questions about it thought will be nice to share some insights :)

    Oh. good god, thanks for sharing the real stuff. It felt as though I suffered, cried and laughed with you. As a pair, you guys were bloody awesome. Setting the race boundaries a great idea. Sherry to have achieved all this in 3 short years (stand to be corrected) is amazing. Whishing you and Gereom many rides together. Thanks for being awesome you two.

    Hello buzzalong girl, tell you that you are a warrior, who puts all your effort and courage in all the challenges you set for yourself, and that in the face of adversity you grow and are reborn like the Phoenix bird when you feel faint in the face of the difficulties of races as difficult as this one, In every pedal stroke you can see the love you have for this sport, keep up the good work buzzalong girl, and it is a luxury that you share your effort with us, keep up the good work buzzalong girl, looking forward to seeing the next video with great enthusiasm, thank you!!!

    I enjoy and appreciate your authenticity. I cannot recall any other bike-packing vloggers on youtube sharing their exhaustion to camera. I'm just a beginner long distance bike-packer having only cycled the LEJOG at a non-race pace, over a couple of months, but your exhaustion levels appear similar to or exceed my own exhaustion levels when I was in training and doing far easier routes. It is a delight to witness you doing what you do without any attempt to keep up appearances but sharing it as it is; both the highs and the very lows of ... real life! I have watched hundreds bike-packing vlogs over a number of years I believe your channels movies are a worthy and excellent addition to the genre. You appear to me to be a great team and to me it works very well that your cycling partner focuses on the camera work allowing you to be 'captured' in the moment.

    You rode in less than 11 days the distance I ride in a year. Mindblowing!
    I liked the interview a lot. Especially where you were talking about going in pair means double the trouble but you have a healthy strategy to deal with the fact and get the best out of it.

    Huge effort so impressive and congratulations on first pair and a great video to go along with it. I know it's tough but I am so glad you put the low points in there, I don't think it would feel as authentic if it was only the high points because we know that's not how these things are. I've been getting back into cycling the last few months after touring seemed to drop out of my life about 10 years, and while it will take me a while to get to the required level this has definitely inspired me to put finishing this race as a goal in a few years time.

    First of all - congratulations! I watched your dot throughout and it was super-exiting to see you both perform so well.
    But behind the dot is the story and here you tell it so well - the laughter and the joy, but also the tears and the pain.
    I loved the drone footage and the stunning views - nice touch. I also loved those funny but sad moments that we can now look back at and smile, but at the time it was depths of despair! And I liked that you shared these because it shows what the journey is really like - not just lovely views and smiling sunny faces.
    The interview at the end was excellent and so nice to hear the mutual admiration.
    Thanks for sharing and chapeau once more!

    @Ultrathom Год назад +3

    Very nice! 5/5 recommend.
    More elaborated (I will try to keep away spoilers): the documentary is two folded. The first part is entertaining and encouraging. Beautiful scenery and a nice insight in daily riding. Filming is as one would experience the race, with all its ups an downs. As a spectator you are sucked into a story you cannot think of before.
    The concluding part offers a new layer to self-made cycling documentaries I have never seen before. Though the editing and camera-work is a bit DIY-level, the content you get for it is amongst the most useful you will ever meet in a documentary like this.
    As said: a must watch for every bikepacking/ultracycling-enthousiast. All in all, this is an authentic approach to record a mammoth race like the TCR. Probably the documentary of the year.
