Awesome ride ... congrats on the buckle. . If you do it again would you stick to the hardtail or mix it up with full sus???
@WoollyAndTheCosmicGravel13 күн бұрын
@@user-pe5tm3jp7t thank you, and that’s a great question! Right now I’m fully intending on doing it again on the hardtail. The descents are rough and fast so some more practice on skills there will be immensely useful. But as a larger rider @ 6 foot 1, 200lbs, the climbing advantage was really solid for me. If I were to do it a 3rd time and had a full sus XC bike, that would be a fun experiment though!
@user-pe5tm3jp7t13 күн бұрын
@WoollyAndTheCosmicGravel I could tell you were causing them grief and catching them on the climbs. From the angle of the camera I noticed you slowed some on the descents but didn't look like much. Was moving faster than me on a full sus I'm sure hahaha. I'm new to it and from south alabama. I made the trip to leadville in June and rode my bike for some practice and opened my eyes to I need alot more practice lol. Planning on 2025 racing for first time even if I have to do the camp to get in. I have an older epic and a newer stupjumper .. I'm thinking the older epic is going to be my ride for leadville because of all the climbing. Great content .. Showed places I haven't seen yet.

@WoollyAndTheCosmicGravel bummer. Glad you were able to get a new tire. Was that at Pipeline or Outward Bound? My day was amazing until having to deal with Powerline, Turquoise Lake Road up, And Boulevard. Those almost broke me. Haha. Glad you were able to.get your buckle and not have to do it again. Unless you like it and you want to. For me, it was a one and done.

@@chrismoore1182expect to have to place top 3 in your age group or better to get in by place. The coin lottery can be only about a 1/50 chance depending on how many stay for it and how many who stay already have an entry. For me to place in the 50-60 AG it probably would have taken an FTP of almost 4.5 - 5 watts/kg at sea level.

Hi what kind of bike did you use/what sort of tires? I'm riding Crooked Gravel as my first gravel ride this year and am a little nervous
@WoollyAndTheCosmicGravel Жыл бұрын
I was running a Checkpoint SL5 with Specialized Pathfinder Pro 42s on Zipp303s carbon wheels. Crooked Gravel is a terrific event and I think you'll enjoy it! There are some rough sections, so just take the descents slow if you are still developing your handling skills. Bring some plugs and extra co2 - I didn't have a flat, but there are some rocky sections. That big climb is a doozy, save something for that. Last year it was hot and people ran out of water on that climb, make sure you've got water and an extra gel to get you to the top! You'll do great!
