What a great summary and a great year of cycling! So many wonderful experiences and achievements. Here's to more in 2024. 🥂

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thank you, and same to you! Hope all is well & hope to ride with you & the crew soon!

[@MrPedel]

Wow, what a lot of amazing achievements, Eric. And some silly ones, too, but that’s what we like 😅 Honoured to have gotten to know you and thankful for having had you to inspire my own Zwift journey. Look forward to more wattage and heartage output in 2024♥️

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thanks so much, Thomas. I think I enjoy the silly stuff more than the serious stuff, to be honest. I've had so much fun the last year on the bike and look forward for more fun in 2024! I'm inspired by your story and how much of a beast you've become in A cat!

[@OhioMTBTrails]

I'm just happy to see you grow as a cyclist and a KZbinr!

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Let's do some dumb fun stuff on bikes this year!

[@CaedmonCycling]

Awesome recap, it was a great year and I enjoyed following your journey! Good to see you are healthy again and can’t wait to see where 2024 takes you next 😃

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thank you! You were one of the first channels I found when looking up Zwift streamers & I appreciate all the support. There's a lot of Ohio-based cycling KZbinrs - I'd love to arrange some meet-ups when I get moved back!

[@CaedmonCycling]

Yeah, I’m definitely up for that! Although I’ve never ridden a century before so I’ll need to get my endurance up 😅

[@ericbarnettcycling]

@@CaedmonCycling haha, no worries there. I wouldn’t ask people to do the longer rides with me. I’ve got to get my power up - you’d destroy me in Zwift right now.

[@user-oz4pl6pl9o]

great journey Eric , fun and dumb stuff is important to keep you happy , easy on your way back after your sickness , and you re an above average cyclist

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thanks so much, Stef! Dang, I forgot to mention how helpful you were in pulling me through the day of all the new routes and your great racing & TT tips! Thanks so much for all the help - hope your riding is going well!

[@mafuada]

You are welcome Eric! Was a pleasure having you on the squad and your energy was infectious. Hope to see you back next Season.

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thanks, man!

[@lewisA76]

Really enjoying your channel Eric. I'm slightly older than you and recently got back on the bike after taking two years off. I'm currently on week 4 of the ftp builder which I saw on your channel. Keep up the great work and best wishes for 2024 from London

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Best wishes for your riding, as well! Lemme know how the FTP builder works for you - I might have to do it again this year. Thanks for watching - I just subbed & am looking forward to seeing your videos!

[@ImGlossy63]

Well done Eric and hope to see you in a few C races this spring before you head back to Cat B. Best of luck in 2024 and the move back to The Buckeye State.

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thanks so much, Glossy!

[@laurippt]

Great year review! You really accomplished a lot and I enjoyed watching it here! Hope you’re continuing to feel better as you recover.

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thank you Lauri!

[@VincentVanGestel]

What a year Eric, congratulations! Looking back on it now I was there with the PRL full and watching your appearance on In The Drops, the sub-one hour Alpe du Zwift and the hilarious beer crit. Thanks for documenting your journey and all the best for 2024!

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thanks so much for all the encouragement! It's been so much fun & I'm just getting started. Best wishes for your riding in 2024!

[@ericbarnettcycling]

👋

[@Alan-Turnbull]

What a year you had, brilliant! But mostly I just watch your content and want to follow your journey as you are a good human! Looking forward to more adventures in 2024. Oh and despite you being sick recently you look really well 👍

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thank you so much for being so supportive, Alan! Advice, encouragement, and pulling this slow/tired cyclist up Box Hill so many times - I couldn't have asked for better riders to come in contact with. Hope you have a great year of cycling and I'll see you soon!

[@MarkyMarkZwifts]

What an amazing year 2023 was for you Eric, I didn't realise quite how much cycling you had been doing! Mind-blowing stuff, some of those rides! Looking forward to seeing you progress through 2024 and good luck with the move 👍

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thank so much, Mark! It’s been wonderful meeting & riding with you - looking forward to more riding soon! Hope your 2024 brings great things

[@HuddoThePaceline]

Well done mate. What a year you’ve had.

[@ericbarnettcycling]

Thanks Huddo! It was a pleasure getting to know you & chatting about Zwift & bikes! You’ve inspired me to start hitting those climb portals this year. Hope all is well with you & yours!
