2021 Iceman Cometh | Race Recap

[@JamieSmith-fz2mz]

I've been the announcer there for 15 years, and this might have been the best finish I've seen yet. Rarely do we see 4 riders (M or F) come up Icebreaker together. I've also never seen these conditions. We've had "Niceman" races before, but this was unreal. Come back when the conditions are like they were in 2014 when the winning time was 30 minutes longer.

[@josephdunbar2105]

Awesome footage and analysis Kerry. Thank you for the effort and time you put into these videos.

[@markspore2572]

Great race & video! FWIW, Alexey threw his bomb on the "Mount GARY" climb/Strava segment. We hope you make it back for another shot at the $6K!

[@jaredladia]

What an incredible crowd! Can’t imagine that feeling. Nice race!

[@kmac720]

I was mid pack in that 100 rider field, and they were as loud when we cam through as when the leaders did. It was neat to be on the inside of the barriers instead of being one of the guys cheering.

[@thesimonsons]

This is some of the greatest race footage I've ever seen! Great video recap. Loved it!

[@BikeLifewithRob]

Fun toeing the line with you! Great race man, always next year!

[@mikebronson1634]

Great race footage and recap. Thanks for coming up to MI. Hope to see you back next year!!

[@GeekonaBike]

I remember when on the same date that race had real Ice. The course went across a lake full of it.

[@kmac720]

Glad you made the trip up! That was my first pro race, at Iceman was fun lining up with you guys and getting worked!

[@budycelyn]

hmm think i could see Mackey Franklin (Sid and Mackey) and Rob Martin (Bike life with Rob) at the start there. good company :)

[@joanneleyva4942]

Big shout out to Mackie Franklin!!!

[@budycelyn]

@@joanneleyva4942 i thought i spelled his name wrong :)

[@bscjake]

@@budycelyn you both did it was Macky ;)

[@TwoWheelCruise]

Awesome recap and great insight into the finish! Makes me really want to come back and race another Iceman!

[@AdyShort]

You got caught by some Betsema elbows at the end there, well done great race!

[@patrickknox8705]

That was amazing!!!! Great job Kerry!!!

[@stevecalland1]

Ah frustrating not to be able to open up fully during the last 30secs. That last 100m to the line looked wide enough too 😬😬 Great recap 👌👏👏

[@jnatiw]

Great recap video. Thanks!

[@Dykster]

Great race footage! Thx for sharing.

[@marilyn6656]

Great racing, Kerry! I like your race recaps!

[@goaskdra]

Nice recap - thanks for sharing !!! Now back to Cross . See ya in Hendersonville👍

[@mtoscano343]

Thanks Kerry. Nice recap & great effort!

[@justthepip]

Would love to see some power files for the last 10k - fantastic recap, and what a hell of a finish!

[@jeremywall4235]

Nice job Kerry! Nice recap and a great race!

[@jmrtinez69]

Wow, great job! I'm totally riding this race next year.

[@pmoormann]

Yeah Buddy! Good Race and Video. Next Time!

[@cb6866]

Thanks for sharing that Kerry...great job man ! And..you have a ton of class .... Peace

[@Stephen-nq5kd]

Nice job in the race and with this film!!

[@erichoogerhyde1362]

The Jorden you mention in the video is Jorden Wakeley.

[@tgoods5049]

WOW this race looks amazing!

[@davehause8571]

Your bike set up was rad.

[@jacobrose338]

Any chance you can release the full race footage? Would love to see the whole thing play out.

[@neil78]

Great finish and way less mountain bike oriented it seemed, at least from the video. I'm not sure I love that funnel to a single line right near the finish, which essentially led to the "$6,000 elbow".

[@mattgrady518]

I get wanting to do that course with no suspension. But flat MTB bars are so key. I think 1x with a 38t chainring is the winning ticket for setup. I wish I could have caught the top 20. I snapped my chain at Williamsburg. Nice race btw!

[@shotpointm28]

Great job, Kerry! Always fun racing this and then it being highlighted by the pros coming in. I was on that last hill, Icebreaker, cheering you all on. Which camera did you have on your helmet? Is it the Insta360 One X2? I'm thinking about switching mine up and I like that perspective. Thanks

[@anthonyharris483]

Nice bike by the way

[@mikevw6767]

Love the video commentary!!! How did you keep that GoPro charged up the entire race? My batteries only last 30-45 min. Did you strap an external batter to your helmet??

[@tubesockets120v]

Does your Shimano GRX levers ever rattle in rougher terrain?

[@bike4fish241]

can i really fit a 700x50 on my libre rear????

[@KDubzDidWhat]

YES!!!!

[@bike4fish241]

[@kseger1970]

Awesome

[@gbkuyper]

Kerry, what camera did you use to shoot this?

[@Cyclingdropout]

You should learn that guy’s name, because it would be bad to lose to a guy with no name. He showed up and did massive work, hildebrandt deserves the respect.

[@anthonyharris483]

Dude elbow checked ya all a part of racing

[@mutleyadamsracing2684]

Big poop 💩 on us fans by KW! How he gonna rep Kona like at? KW best not let me get my hands on em cuz he gonna get his wig slit yo! Psh🤪 I shoulda raced and repd Kona for real tho!!

[@isitrachelorj3953]

Do you speak English? Spanish? Italian? Dutch? Any of the cycling languages? You have to be able to communicate to "rep".

[@mutleyadamsracing2684]

[@isitrachelorj3953]

To be a spokesperson worth sponsorship you have to speak to the target audience. Who are you yapping at? Hardly anybody that is plopping down big $$$$ for a Kona gravel bike. Everything thing you do, everything you say has consequences and your lack of communication skills will keep you from getting any sponsorship and most jobs. You might think you sound "dope"but it won't earn you any sponsorships

[@tg8848]

At least , I am from Germany and didn’t understand a word. BTW: How’s my english? 😚

@@tg8848 your command of the English language is superior to that of 90% of americans.
