- My GPX file was corrupted, my power meter died, my heart rate monitor stopped working. All these happened right before I set out to ride my farthest distance yet. It was going to be a test of endurance and patience, and I will admit I was very nervous. It was going to be my toughest test so far. Click the link, and come join this attempt at my first Audax 400.

Unbelievable John! That’s a long time to be on the saddle but right off the bat you were making me laugh about your comments “what am I thinking “😂 and then at 200 kilometer you said “ I’m going to call my mommy” then you go brush your teeth 😂 that’s the last thing that would comes to my mind. I’m cracking up but I can feel your pain. Kudos for you and everyone who participated…👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Haha! Thank you for the encouragement! I’m glad you enjoyed the ride! Cheers!🍻
CONGRATS!!! 400 checked!
Haha! Thank you! It was brutal 🤪🤣

Oh thank you for the encouragement! That’s very much appreciated. Please share the rides with those that might enjoy them. Cheers!🍻

Now this is what the toothbrush talk on Sean’s video was all about! 🪥🚲 Clean, fresh breath does help, what with all that food, soda & coffee intake 😁 Salute to you, JJB! 🫡💪

Chris Hall swears by a toothbrush on ultra bikepacking races...spends 3 days in the same bibs but has fresh breath!😂
Haha! I got the idea from when I used to sail away for several days out at sea. I would be out for 3-5 days in the ocean getting salty, without bathing nor changing clothes. But the minute after you brush your teeth, you feel like a brand new man!🤩🤣
Congrats ! What an accomplishment , cheers 🍺
Haha! Thank you buddy! Cheers!🍻
Woooo good job buddy! Napagod ako! Lol. I believe the Eiffel bike is a Moulton. Congratulations!
Haha! Yes I looked it up, and it is a Moulton nga! Ganda!🤩 And thank you for the encouragement buddy!🙏🏼🍻
I also always bring a toothbrush in these longer brevets! Congratulations John-John! Great vid!
Haha! Hooray for confirming the hack!🤣 And thank you for the encouragement! That’s much appreciated!🙏🏼
You gave an idea. Thanks .Imagine all the sugar intakes stuck in your mouth for 27 hours. Better have the toothbrush.

Btw... through a whole bunch of self- talk between km 0-400kms hope you were able to finally answer your question. 👍☺️. Would love to hear that.
What was I thinking? I was thinking of A New Adventure. Not too easy, not too hard. So I must admit that it lived up to expectations. Haha! Cheers!🍻
Congratulations!!!
Thank you!
Great job!
Thank you! Cheers!🍻

gudjab! on to the next 😏
Haha! Thanks buddy! Cheers!🍻

That’s the current plan 🙏🏼
Solid yun Toothbrush!!! What a guy hahahaha
Haha! That used to be our trick when we would sail away, to be out at sea for several days!🤣 No bathing or changing of clothes for days, just Toothbrush for the win!🤣
The toothbrush is the SECRET to finishing an Audax 😎💯👍
Haha! I snipped the handle in half, so it was a bit lighter in the pocket 🤣
Congrats
Thank you!
Imagine those who were riding folding bikes. Most of them finished with barely an hour left sa cut-off time. Great ride and congratulations!
Thank you for that, and Yes those folding bikes are amazing Warriors 🙏🏼. Congratulations to them🫡
congrats JJB…going for the 600?
Haha! Thank you! Not sure about the 600 yet 🍻
The lady who does the pre race speech on almost all audax events that I have watched always sounds unnerving for me. 😂
She’s become a friend of mine, and she is such an inspirational accomplished endurance cyclist herself! She is the driving force behind Audax In the Philippines, and she is amazing. You can always hear her passion and excitement in her voice! 👍🏼🎊🍻
Yeah, definitely. "What am i thinking?". We"ve said this to ourselves in our long rides.
Haha! And then we do it all over again 🤣
Did I just saw some dudes on folding bikes??? Foldie for Audax? Salute to them if they're doing 200 or above 😁
Yes! There was a whole bunch of folding bikes doing 300 and more! And I was with a guy that used to do it on his fat bike too! Amazing! 🤩
I don't know what you were thinking. Suicidal 400 clicks plus the extreme heat, humidity, heavy load of toothpaste and toothbrush. Nakakaloko!!!Anyway you made it safely JJ. Wish you more luck.
Haha! Thank you for the support! Cheers!🍻
What's AUDAX John?
Audax is non-competitive, time-limited, long-distance cycling platform, not considered a race. Audax events are undertaken with success measured by completion, rather than speed.
Thanks, John, for your quick reply
How many calories did you burn during this 400k ride John? I'm just curious 🤔 👀
@@reneq.congmon8083 For this ride, I burned 6500 calories.
🙌🙌🙌
Thank you!
#hangry #toothbrush #sonofagun CONGRATS!!
And right there, you summarized the entire ordeal in just three hashtags 🤣🤣🤣
gotta bring my toothbrush on long rides 😅
Haha! I got the idea from when I used to go out sailing for several days. No bathing nor changing of clothes when the ocean gets rough, but once you brush your teeth you become a new man! 🤣
Yabadabadoooo!
Haha! Absolutely buddy !🤣🍻
See you sa 600km JJT!
Hayyy 600 pa talaga? Hahaha 😂
Dyan mo matitikman ang pinaka masarap na softdrink sa talambuhay mo
Hahahaha! Tama! 🤣🤣🤣
Congratulations!!!
Thanks Erwin!🎊🎉🍻
