How many times are you going to let her pass you dude! 😂

OMG here footware is so damn annoying! 🤦

Good luck with your 70.3 journey! Just came across your Haleakala ride (which I've also done), and up until 2017 had done a lot of road riding over the years (few 100mi riles, including one on my 50th bday). A friend of hours that did that ride with me, for their 50th year wanted to do 70.3 Hawaii.. so my triathlon journey started in getting ready for that. I had not done any amount of running since the 80s, and never any lap/open water swimming. And my first run... maybe 1/2mi and next day was hard to walk due to calves so tight (cardio no problem). But was able to complete the 70.3 and have since completed 2 others, had 1 cancelled during due to storm (finishing last part of ride in 40+mph wind gust and pouring rain), and 2 rampups that within 1.5weeks before the event were postponed. And my most recent rampup, found out on Mon before the race on Sun that based on the test was going to need a medical procedure. That race for me ended not long after starting, but considering the conditions and health situation I believe it was the best thing! Good news is, procedure done and back out there again running/riding. BTW, if you have a smart trainer the Fulgaz app likely has the course in it you can ride virtually and get familiar with area/hills (can also set wind speeds/directions). Oh, and I too are in that AG. :)

That is an epic ride! When I did the ride, I really wasn't sure how far I would make it, but did manage to make it all the way to the top and what a sense of accomplishment and the reward of the views on the way down!! I also did the ride in no hurry, just to see how far I could get.

Love it (Stages accepted)

Rutas muy hermosas y por favor no te caigas 😅❤

Best of luck with your newest journey! I have very much enjoyed your channel in the past and I would suspect that the widening of your focus will only lead to additional avenues for you to explore and me to benefit. Your long bikes may now include additional road and gravel options. We may see new places to enjoy long runs. As to the long swims, maybe there will be some options there as well. I hope that your tri bikes haven't rusted up! All the best for 2025.

Wonderful video! I walked this trail today and afterward searched for more information. It was a beautiful October walk, especially admiring all the fungi along the way. 🍄🍄‍🟫

Very exciting course. Am surprised to see those technical descents and agree that it does look like a mountain bike course. But the start/finish area is nice as is the forest. How many participants were there and what was your final time?

Thanks for the video. Some great footage. Ouch... that tumble at the end must have hurt. Waters Rd Bridge was luckily completed on the Friday, 2 days before the BWR. I'm so happy that the organizers did a last minute change to the Waffle route to go over this bridge. The Holt Trestle is the bigger bridge just past Glenora that is lined up for replacement (at 7:30 in your video). Construction is scheduled to start any day but there has been some push back from locals and trail users. If construction goes ahead, it will be closed until the end of May 2025.

Guess you best pay attention to where you are going 😊

Keen to try it one year. Looks great. Nice vid as always and now I’ve tried making a race vid, much respect. It’s not easy 😉

Glad you’re feeling better. BWC does look like a good event

Between Western Washington and BC the flatter environment where towns and cities are have very little space until they hit mountainous terrain. Therefore a lot of gravel riding looks like this, some road, some logging roads or forrest service routes and then a lot of rolling single track. Hikers and MTBers reign supreme in these areas, but if you're interested in taking your gravel bike handling skills to another level you can make it (with the right kind of attitude) on some of these courses like the BWR race or stuff you can come across on Ride With GPS, Strava and the Gravel Adventure Field Guides. 💪🤙

This race like last year is a mountain bike course. I see some of these races and think how sometimes gravel riding is a farce as many people say. This is cross country XC biking. Wanted to do this race and remembered your video from last year, saw the race bijbel and it was the same elevation. I said no way. Wish they would make this race more beginner friendly.

Why post it? Nobody cares if your old ass fell.

Great work guy’s. Good to see you back.

That's a good way to stay in shape

So beautiful.😊❤❤❤

Nice Video

Bro i don’t hear anything storm bruh

I hope you are doing well and things have gotten better. As someone who moved to BC a year ago and just getting into gravel biking, your videos have been inspirational. Further, i can only pray my higher being sends me a partner to these fun adventures with as you both do .

amazing! what was the elevation gain on the wanna route?

That tunnel and rock slide area is the old highway. It continues up a few kms and comes out at the new highway farther up on the cliffs above the lake.

Gutted to hear you’re not heading to Nipika but I completely understand and agree with you. Health has to come first. I just posted your video from last time on my Facebook today saying how much I was looking forward to seeing you. I’ll be back on 2026 so hope to see you both there then! Heal up and come back even stronger. You’ll be missed at the event.

Take a break. Let your self heal and then get back at it. My son and I yelled at you guys on your Chute lake ride. Nice to see someone famous on the trail 🤙. Looking forward to your future videos.

Hey buddy, that was a great video but I’m not gonna lie, your health situation is really worrying. I can hear the shortness in your breath and it makes me think I could actually kick your ass on a ride, which is pretty f’d up. The decision to cancel your participation in the Rocky Royal only underscores the impact Covid has had on your year. All I can say is get better soon. In the meantime, the videography continues to improve. Sure, you’re no prize, but who doesn’t like seeing video of Catherine? Ride on…

A saturation level (SPO2) of 92% is low, even for someone just walking around. Even 95% is low for strenuous exercise like biking. Good decision to skip the event to avoid irritating your lungs. I always enjoy your videos and they make me want to get a gravel bike just to ride in the places you show.

I’m getting old so I joined the dark side and bought an e bike . It only way’s 37lbs. So use the pedal assist or not and ride on. It’s great for recovering from an injury, or an illness. It’s like a trainer. Keeps you moving. Get well . Best wishes!

A bear bell attached to handle collum alerts bears and is mostly pleasant to listen to. A jingle bell.

Have you considered using mountain bikes? EMTBs would make quick work of the climbs and rocky stretches on that trail.

Excellent work as always, love all the different angles!

Great to see you back on the bike after the gravel race. Your videos are excellent for a first hand perspective of these bike trips. I am also a big fan of rail trail, cheers!

Jman if you had a better thumbnail this would pop off

Nice video! great finish to an interesting trip. With what company was this group trip? I'd love to do something like this.

I think you said it in the first episode of the series “there’s no place like home”. Stay away from those wild fires and get well.

Wow. As Catherine noted: the desert experience is definitely a bucket list item. The tune at the end was a nice touch. It may give the Snorkel Club Song a run for the money. Thanks for sharing your Morrocan adventure. Almost felt like we were there with you two.

I am very interested in doing this ride in my upcoming Kauai vacation. Please share where can I rent the bikes

That gradual change in elevation is the result of the rail traffic with steel wheels on steel rails being unable to find traction on any steeper grades.

I was thinking of coming to Nakusp for the August long this year. I was planning on bringing my mountain bike for Mt Abriel trail centre but I might have to do some rail trail as well.

Great video! Really enjoyed sharing your adventure. Makes me want to spend more time on the bike.

Lovely video 🦵

Your best video to date Keep it going

I miss North America so much :) Glad to see you getting back to full strength
