@@vanilllamint you're going to fly when you get on a road bike. Did my first century last year. The GFNY. From the GWB to the top of Bear Mountain and back. Like 8,700 feet of elevation gain. I'm not fast or strong but got it done. It's an amazing event you might want to try one day.
Nice job! Watch for ticks on the Henry Hudson trail...that Atlantic Highlands stretch starting at about the 3 min mark is where I seem to get 'em even if I avoid all contact with the grass.
Man, I would have dove in the water a few times!! I was knocking down a 10 mile run in triple digit heat. I started to show signs of heat exhaustion. Stopped sweating. Then I seen salvation. A little river. I tossed my phone and headphones, wallet pouch on the short mid stride and dove in. It was amazing. You can’t even describe the level of refreshing when your that exhausted and suffering from heat. Once I jumped back out, I laid down some killer times the last 2 miles. I just bought a Trek Dual Sport to start commuting to and from work on it. This winter, I’m going to start building out a Salsa cycle for more distance and speed.
Do you have your fork locked out? For all this hard road riding? Trek has a new dual sport 3 that has a ridige fork... I'm considering. Good Ride... Good Video !
I’m torn between the dual sport and checkpoint. Price is a big factor, but I want something to help me get back in shape plus eventually do 100 mile rides as my goal. My 3rd portion is the domane but I live in rural Texas and there are hundreds of miles of gravel roads that I can access just a half mile from my home, so the checkpoint sits higher on my list. If you could go back on purchase day, would you still choose the dual sport?
Just brilliant, good job 👍🏻, always late like me too 😅 Want to ask you how is the bike for such a long rides ? I know it’s a bit heavy over 13k but does it feel heavy while climbing a hill? Thanks 🙏
.... Question ??? Do your fingers get numb???? Well, your ego handle-bar grips are not right ... they need to be rotated "up" so that your palms lay flat on the grips ... you steer w/ your palms by "pushing the handle-bars ... that leaves your fingers free to controll the brakes and shifters .... and Yes, I have a 2013 TREK 8.6 DS ... I caught the comments about your hands ....Safe Pedalling .... (Oh, Like the "Ray-Bans/Wayfarers" ... thats' what I wear Prescription w/ "Fire" lens ...)
Nice ride! I have the exact same bike, same green color too, I call it my Shrek bike. Live out in rural Pennsylvania in Lancaster and there's this great 30 mile paved trail that goes along the Susquehanna River that I ride almost every weekend. I rigged up my phone on the handlebar one day a year ago and made this video. Even with the stabilization software that I used it's still a bit shaky while riding over bumps. No narration, just free use music but it gives a good overview of the trail and my ride. I had to stop numerous times to get over and around fallen trees from the storm that blew through the week before. Hope you like it! ruclips.net/video/i6a2JLxV-n8/видео.htmlfeature=shared
I just picked up an FX3 yesterday. Looking forward to adventures like this.
Thinking about a Dual Sport over a Fx. Is the dual sport 2 a good enough fitness bike?
Congrats. On those bikes Wows! Love the way you hooked up your bikes.
I've done 3 more century rides since this one Upgrading to a real road bike soon!!

Did u spray paint your bike
Way da go folks👍
What bike does he have? And amazing stuff. I want to do a century on my 2017 ds2. Did 60 last year but my neck and back were killing me
We both have dual sports. Just need to build up the rest of your body too. My upper.body was def feeling this ride tho
That was an awesome ride. Question, what is the app you are using? I keep seeing that popup in other videos.
Looks like Strava
Strava
0:31 why isn't this bike good for distance ?

Thanks 🙏
I don’t think they are that heavy, but then again my dual sport has the rack and fenders. But hill climbs aren’t to bad.
What do you think about the dual sport 3?
I love it but I want to upgrade to a domane
@@vanilllamint What are the main reasons you want to upgrade?
Different geometry and I want to ride alot further distances more often.
…I’m definitely considering that bike. But, wait, no helmet for you????
Wheres your damn hemet ?
You might need Marin DSX FS instead of DS3G4 for long distance.

Wear a helmet!
Lack of a Helmet tells that you are overly concerned with looks and not a conscientous rider. Also, profanity is not necessary to express one's self.
Agreed with helmet, disagree with words. She's in new joysey. Whatcha expect?
Update I just bought a helmet yesterday
