Yeah I started out on MTB’s in 2017 and Got bit by the drop bar bug…. Dude Tyler your the man.. I get it you wanna win But who you are and your perspective of these races/rides are VERY relatable and entertaining… Keep giving us these SUPER COOL videos… We Love it..🚴🏼♂️💨
Don’t worry about justifying your love for biking. If people think you’re doing it out of arrogance, they can think whatever they want. You’re inspiring bro, unbelievable riding!
Seriously when you make videos this good, the place you get in the race is irrelevant…I’ve always said the best videos are the ones that make you want to go outside and do whatever sport you’re watching a video of, and you certainly check the box for bike riding my dude!!!
long time, first time. ive been a fan and subscriber since the beginning, but this video hit different. i had a bad accident recently. 4 broke ribs, collapsed lung, super f'd collarbone. ive been worried i wont be able to get back on the horse, mentally. but you reminded what id be missing. that joy. love you bro.
I crashed my Mt bike 2 months ago pulverized my collar bone into 5 pieces. I had some of the same feelings, but now that I can ride again I’m getting my confidence back and realizing how much I miss the pure joy of riding.
If it's meant to be you will get there no matter what. Took me almost a year of rehab before I got my body working "correctly". I didn't think I'd ever want to ride again until one day I got on a friends bike and it just clicked, almost like my crash never happened. Good luck, stay positive and hope you have a speedy recovery.
I went over the front a (dozy) car last year - not great - but it made me more determined to ride more - I am a cyclist - end of …… later this week I am tackling King Alfred’s Way, UK
VC, I saw an interview with you on Chris Miller's channel. I just wanted to say that on your questions about what content you should produce and if people would tire of watching you finish mid pack, I think you are doubting yourself too much. We just like the content and stories that you create, it doesn't matter if you win. At least that's my view as a subscriber. I also enjoy watching The Gravel Cyclist when he does race videos, even though he is back of the pack. I think for a lot of us that haven't done all these events it's just awesome to see any footage of them, to see what the courses are like and to inspire us for future gravel adventures. You produce great footage of gravel events that not all of us can travel to, so after any gravel event I'm always searching RUclips to see if anyone made a video, no matter if they were a mid-pack racer or a competitor in the Life Time Series. Keep being you!
Bro thank you so much for this. Loved seeing the look on your face. Win lose or draw. It’s all about just riding your bike. Thanks for the inspiration.
Just stumbled into one of your videos and never regretted being so invested watching you conquer these difficult and amazing races. I've just gotten myself a mountain bike from our neighbor. He gave it to me because he wasn't using it anymore and some parts are broken but still useable. So, my father, my cousin and I fixed it only to the point where I can use it to go to my school. I plan on upgrading its parts by saving my allowance day by day. So I first upgraded my pedal with a Ragusa 1021 pedal ( so happy and excited with it that I thought my bike went faster lol ). I want to upgrade it more so that I can be like you, doing these races, having awesome and cool bikes. You're an awesome dude! You inspired me so much, so keep inspiring people. Stay safe and God bless!
You asked Chris for his opinion on your path/operation at the end of his recent podcast. My opinion is people love you and come to you for your personality!!! 100%. They will watch you make cookies or do IR or ride local single track. I get you don’t want to make “more” Les quality videos. But I say you need weekly drops. Sometimes they are big races, sometimes they are playing with the kids. Wish you the best, love your work. You are an inspiration to many.
Yo Tyler! another great video! So i used to ride bmx then downhill and ended up stopping riding about 6 years ago when we had our daughter (im 35). I recently picked up a Poseidon X gravel bike to explore up here in New Hampshire and am really enjoying being back on 2 wheels. We just got back from visiting family down in North Carolina and my brother in law gave me his Giant TCR roadbike. Funny enough I found your videos about a month ago and you are a super inspiration to me and drive me to get out on my bike as much as I can throughout the week. Thanks for the cool inspiring videos and I am hoping to do some charity rides to push myself on further rides. Keep up the awesome content!
Awesome as always :) Just a suggestion, maybe you could write metric units next to imperial for your international viewers so we could get better view of numbers you're dealing with.
Thank you! You're such an inpiration! I bought my bike for 40€ on ebay and started upgrading it, and ACTUALLY rinding it! Just improving my PBs on strava is a huge boost for my convidence. Even if I'm not in top shape. Vegans can do just as well!
Saw you on Gypsy what you do is harder than moto doing those rides are all out all day and you know it’s hard if down hill is harder at times riding up hill respect 💯
I live at moderate elevation (2000 meters) all year, and the biggest differences I noticed when I went down to sea level on a trip back to the US this summer was the burst of power I got back and a total shift in zones. My first ride was for an hour at 280 watts, a power that is hard for me at elevation, and it just felt easy. I stuck my Garmin in my pocket the next day and rode to what felt like a threshold effort level and it was 319 for the hour. Now I'm back in thin air and I have to subtract 40 watts again . . .
saw u on chris millar show and checked out your stuff im hooked u r awesome to be able to ride that aswell as film it and your commenatery is amazing im from australia
You cant train for every kind of race.....you are dialed in for endurance, looooong stuff......this was not that.....if there WAS another loop in this race, those guys would have come back to you in a heartbeat.... They in turn are not trained for anything longer! You are......so top 50 among these crazies is outstanding for an 80 mile race.....as I say, if it was twice that far, guess who rises to the top? Great vid, as always!!! Good luck with Oregon, which is something that IS your bread and butter!!!! Love ya man!
Goodness VC... This couldn't come at a better time... Going into my hardest ride ever this Saturday in Colorado no less... Still can't wait to have a Free Ride in Arkansas. Till then... 🤙🤙🤙
Left cycling for a bit …. Came back ….. and your channel blew up!!! Last I saw you were going through some tough times. 🍻 cheers dude, glad to see you’re doing well.
@@TheVCAdventures oooooh, good to know! I'm just a smaller 400 sub channel, but clarity and realism is super important to me. I'll check out the NDs for my GoPro.
@@TheVCAdventuresjust deep dived into it and when to use, settings etc. Total nerd stuff and I'm into it. Picked up a 4 pack. A few of my videos would've benefitted from the motion blur on descents. Thanks man.
Been watching you and some other YTers bust their ass on bikes, and it gave me motivation to get out and start riding again. knocked out my first 15 miles the other night. I got a lot of work to put in, but it felt good to have some jello legs again!
Inspiring Tyler! I’m right there with you on loving to ride the bike! I crashed twice last Sunday, once each side, on a group gravel ride. Both shoulders are still sore but worst is I bruised ribs on both sides. 🙁 So hyped to get back out after I heal up, though fortunately I can live vicariously through your video! Great effort! 👏 Can’t wait for the next one!
Great video! When I did Lost and Found in Portola I had the same feeling. Such a great course and absolutely beautiful you can’t help but get in the moment. Epic effort as well.
As an ultra rider myself I totally get why you felt the need to ride the short route straight afterwards - especially with training for another event coming up soon. Of course you will often hear quality over quantity which definitely is also an important piece of the jigsaw.
I used to do intervals all the time with highly structured blocks. I hated riding bikes even when I was crazy fast. Now I just ride as I want. That’s why my high end is low.

This dude has cost me so much money. I was perfectly happy on my MTB being completely unaware of those goofy road bikes with off-road tires.
Ugh me too, Gravel Bike and Smart Trainer purchased recently. Oh well :)
Me too !
Me too 😂😂😂

What type of mtb, otherwise I'd say next up is an xc mtb.
Bad idea watching VC vids before bed. Now I'm stoked and want to go out for a ride... Tyler is an inspiration
This happens to me all the time 😂😂 glad I’m not alone
It's 3 fucking in the morning right now and I want to go out and ride. Man what a guy!
Fr
Same!
hahahaha exactly my thought

Watching this with 2 broken ribs, in pain. Prob not as bad as you, but it sucks to cancel a race.

Easily the funniest commentary I’ve heard … stream of consciousness is massively under rated.

Unexpected Charlie lmfao
Thank you for a awesome video 📼 yet again 👌🏻 digging your vibe 💪🏻 long time viewer from 🇩🇰
Awesome! Thank you! Really appreciate the support 🤙🤙
I love how you are able to portray your excitement, I can feel it, and that makes these videos awesome to watch over and over again.
This is awesome! Thanks for showing me what I'm missing out on literally in my backyard! I can no longer take it for granted. Ride on!
The overall vibe through that video is so motivating, thanks Man, that's why we love riding bikes!
Your videos are pure entertainment. Please continue !!!
Bro, LOVE YOUR VIDEOS.
Watched from the newest to alled ones, nice editing and riding!
LOVE the garmin update...haha First time viewer, definitely coming back for more haha
Hey Tyler, no need for explaining why riding 2 rides. MAN! You just do what you love. Great to watch!
Thanks for sharing!
The Garmin check-in part is so funny :)) someone please make a meme out of it
The image quality, the motion blur, the view you capture just mind blowin🫡
I started using an ND filter on the GoPro and it’s made all the difference.

This kind of video is what you are best at in my humble opinion. How you record while racing blows my mind.
Awesome as always :) Just a suggestion, maybe you could write metric units next to imperial for your international viewers so we could get better view of numbers you're dealing with.
You explain the power profile perfect. I could feel my legs hurt when explained it.
Thank you!

Absolutely stunning
Great video. This is yet another example of the incredibly high bar that you have set quality for RUclips cycling content....
Because of your videos I want more - go further - challenge myself - cheers. Epic content.
Lmao that dude totally thought you were joking about riding the course again... You're a freak of nature man I have no idea how you do it!
Bikepack across america!!!
Is there anything better than staying out and riding bonus miles guilt free without feeling like ur ditching the fam???!!!! so good!
The Mo1st on your garmin is probably the funniest edit i've ever seen. I love your content!
Compliments, thanks a lot and best wishes from Germany.
Saw you on Gypsy what you do is harder than moto doing those rides are all out all day and you know it’s hard if down hill is harder at times riding up hill respect 💯
Amazing content as always. Gypsum/ Eagle has some amazing riding!
Dude big horn is definitely my hardest race of the year but the one I look forward to the most next year, hope to get an autograph next year!
The Chapter Sound just made my day.

Such a fun event! Great vid, VC!
Well you know Dylon is a coach ... So VC may be needs Dylon as his coach 🤩

Such a unique event!! Totally wish I had a gravel bike, definitely not trying to run a road bike on that
Gravel's fun, I got into it last year.. it's a totally different beast.
You biked the Course Again Because you Can! Brother 😎
I don't ride near as much as Tyler, but it doesnt really matter, just ride because you enjoy it and what you get out of it. Keep it up!
It looks so good out there... bucket ride added to the list!
Goodness VC...
This couldn't come at a better time... Going into my hardest ride ever this Saturday in Colorado no less... Still can't wait to have a Free Ride in Arkansas. Till then... 🤙🤙🤙
you got me into gravel riding!
Awesome, love your vids! Keep on pushing!
Dude you rock! Loved the video and I’ll definitely put that race in my bucket list.
Love it! Great recap and excitement for the sport! You encourage all of us!
5:50 the guy in blue bike is riding a fixie in a gravel race? Really, no gears at all??? 🤯😱 Hero.
And another one at 14:57! Really, guys, what am I missing?
Internal Hub Gears I guess
Left cycling for a bit …. Came back ….. and your channel blew up!!! Last I saw you were going through some tough times. 🍻 cheers dude, glad to see you’re doing well.
Osprey sells a little magnet you can put on your hydropack tube. It's super clutch for racing and works with the USWE bag.
You're the Dr. Dis(c)respect of cycling
Keep The Faith 💪! Tucson Arizona Desert 🏜️🙏
Dude, your motion blur to emphasize speed is 👌 Super crispy, Tyler.
The ND filter gives that blur naturally. No post edit. And it looks like how it feels 😂

Seeing Critical on your garmin had me gigglingggggg
i always love seeing your videos mr vegan cyclist. youre always an inspiration. thank you.
Ride hard and save the animals! 🤘🤘
@@tadaias8540 Animals dont have our intelligence and therefore responsibility
You’re such a bike nerd/goof and I f**cking love it. ❤❤
Those delts are poppin'! Good job on hitting the weights
I’ve low key been working on sleeper build under the spandex, December vlogs will show a lot of that 💪💪
Love your honesty and passion. This vid really motivates me to ride on and on. It‘s just me against me. ✨
You're always such an inspiration man.
I love this channel dude. 🌱
Any new kit drops coming? My previous VC jersey needs a friend!
I want to see that Oregon race you were talking about
What’s a 500 MILE Bike Race like? (An Ultra Distance Cycling Story)
ruclips.net/video/l7S58gP5tao/видео.html
We’ve heard of it. Thank Jeremy for that.
New VC let’s go
Even just an occasional VO2 max interval set would do wonders for you I reckon. Either way great video!
Yeah !! ... Yeah!!
Little did you know you were holding an entire train back :P
Great video as usual 👌
Been watching you and some other YTers bust their ass on bikes, and it gave me motivation to get out and start riding again. knocked out my first 15 miles the other night. I got a lot of work to put in, but it felt good to have some jello legs again!
Go get it. First 15 is the hardest ;)
Loved it! Had a good laugh.
This dude right there he’s awesome. Yeah, that dude. Right there. Awesome. I mean fr
I am taking a dump watching this and cant wait to get out and ride... Thanks VC 👍🏽
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 THE BEST!
I don’t normally ride gravel, but when I do - it’s because VC inspires me to 😄
AWESOME!!!!!

Have you ever tried a suspension stem and or seatpost?
Love of riding and competing >>>> winning
You're a nut. Well done. Good luck at Nationals. 👊
love your videos.
Hey Tyler! I tried looking up your overlay track at 6:55 but came up with Mistero in Spanish…what track is this?!?
You rock brother 🚴♀️✨✨
Lol…love the Platoon soundtrack.
You the bomb VC!
Love it. Ever try intervals targeting your high end? 400+ bursts to failure or something. Your endurance is insane though bro.
I used to do intervals all the time with highly structured blocks. I hated riding bikes even when I was crazy fast. Now I just ride as I want. That’s why my high end is low.
You don’t show up on the the Big Horn results page 😢
You have the best fashion sense of all the cyclist RUclipsrs I follow. Or maybe I’m biased because I see pink and blue
awesome vid bud!! Keep it up!
