3 Roadies on Gravel Bikes (A Gravel Bike Adventure)

[@mikeytek]

I cracked up twice lol 1 when it said any mountain biker watching 2 when your wife made fun of you. Thaaa ride was ahhh....so good 😂😂

[@rocco.mbb.zoccoli]

mikeytek and “ALLLLLLLLLEXAAAAAA!! Play bobs burgers!”

[@trevorhayes5414]

"...yeah that's pride spilling out!" Love it!

[@FlyWithMe_666]

A gravel cooperation with Dustin Klein would be awesome - with less spandex and more smoking. «and the ride by the numbers ...»

[@brauljo]

Lycra's fine, smoking's whack

[@ASHSDSDS]

@@brauljo Not a crit, might as well get a bit licked

[@Enigma71559]

Dude! One of the highlights of my day when I get an alert that you've posted a new one. And LOVE your family! Your wife is awesome and your kids are soooo cute!!!

[@adamgriss2025]

Your GSP clip literally had me rolling on the floor🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@richcain5127]

Totally! hahaha

[@88perestroika]

5:09 sums up my exact reaction to the 'tech'. Awesome video, always enjoy seeing people get out on any kind of dirt!

[@scottcottontx]

Nice. Hardest gravel skill that I've been working on is staying seated on those short, slippery climbs. You are killing it, good job.

[@bullwinkle428]

Loved the "moonscape" that you guys hit along the ascent! Gravel riding gives you the distinct benefit of a near-guarantee that you won't get run down by a motor vehicle, so I've really started getting into it this season. Unfortunately, I've been doing it on my almost 20 y.o., 32 lb. beater of a MTB, which provides a perfect justification for purchasing a new gravel bike next spring!

[@geoffreyanderson4719]

You know that drop bars can go onto an MTB. You can put thinner kind of higher pressure tires on as well. So no, it's not justified to buy a new gravel bike.

[@ncarrick783]

Looks like a dope ride. Also, respect for your wife not rolling her eyes while you're STILL going on about the ride and KOMs and bike choice hours later.

[@RuezgaDaniel]

This is why I want to move to Oakhurst or Bass Lake at some point. The riding looks great! Bakersfield is still a little too far from the mountains to be able to go on morning rides on a whim.

[@justinlambert4937]

Awesome bud, I really love the production in your videos - it really takes you into the scenery and moment.

[@tonygSDWR]

The baby's so close to mastering the VC shaka, so cute.

[@user-lq6vp9el6l]

I like doing the same thing, gravel climbs and road descends.

[@JibbaJabber]

Great work VC. Feel invigorated! BTW, @10:10 Wife's impression was hilarious. Let's have a double act (with a cameo from Alexa)!

[@cnnroutside]

Such a fun adventure thanks for the video! I’ve been getting back into bike adventuring myself but without a set plan. Just finding new places on the ol steed

[@Dennis4523]

Holy shit 4 videos in a week. I don’t know what happened but keep it up ! 👍

[@JoeCincotta307]

Dude, love following your journeys. First video I ever saw of yours you had just gotten a kinetic rock ‘n’ roll trainer and you were testing it out in the living room. Glad I hung in there cause you do some cool stuff

[@mazerickd]

I think its awesome you left in the clips where you guys have to walk. I am a newbie cyclist who lives next to emporia KS and I'll admit I have to walk more hills than I'd like

[@TriathlonDan]

Love a good KOM re-claim, gotta stamp some authority on these juniors ;)

[@foitzer4839]

Sorry, I don't speak English very well. Could you write bike models from this video? In particular, I'm interested in an orange bike (5:00)

[@coltonmiller7436]

Haha the wifey’s impression @ 10:11 was priceless

[@krissantana4660]

Love the vibes man, great inspiration, keep it up!!!

[@adamgriss2025]

Whoa! Someone’s got a sweet Lexus GX! Oh, yeah the rest of the video pretty nice as well. 🤙🏻

[@The.Cycling.Therapist]

Completely forgot about VeloGuide! Using them for my Japan trip next Spring.

[@HarryTzianakisTheGodOfSpeed]

Yooo0000! Tyler! That looked like fun i need to get a GB Was going to get one a few years a used one but it didn't fit me ,was a good deal. i just put 28s on one of my road bikes and use that. So i am looking now. nice to see your knee is doing good . you hit 333 on 20 minutes. that is very good!

We do a big family Bass Lake trip and rent a house every year. Hoping next year you may be available for a little ride. We are all grass eaters too ;)... tried that veg joint in Oakhurst, pretty bomb!

[@soullove3893]

such a gift that you take a backpack of camera gear on your rides so we can see them.

[@chemistry9942]

He literally looks like Cav .. Good to have you bike man

[@karlbe8414]

Your wife is pretty tolerant of you! Best part of video is when she mimics you! Oh, and some nice roads too...

[@luismedeiros7139]

Lol, road cleats on gravel bikes 😂loved the video ❤️

[@unchewable1]

Another awesome video thanks for the wanderlust

[@samuelgrebialde9006]

Glad you're back on that upload button vc!

[@sbusiello]

awesome video bro!! @5:39 when you asked him about other gravel rides it was almost like your girlfriend asking you "who else are you dating"... #caught ... "no no... just gravel around town... i swear"

[@TIstompsUout]

Thank god for drone shots and stabilizers. Dirt/gravel roads don't produce the most smooth shots.

[@RevelCris]

Crazy how much gravel is taking over lmao

[@user-lq6vp9el6l]

criz florez its great!

[@on_the_right_wrist]

You should release a Spotify playlist of all the tunes you use!

[@ottomeyerzuschwabedissen2491]

D Jarv first one is How Did We by Toby Tranter. super dope tune

[@on_the_right_wrist]

@@ottomeyerzuschwabedissen2491 much appreciated dude!

[@shiralederer636]

Love your videos

[@roadglide]

Booyah! Gravel is here to stay! Once you get hooked you will be all in. @#$& distracted drivers.

[@litespeed65]

Seems like riding a $5000+ "gravel" bike on back roads is the realm of the White-collar professional who sits behind a desk all day, also seems like most of these rides are set in scenic mountainous locales. Gravel roads here in Southern, SK- Canada aren't as charming a ride, not many would be crazy enough to try. Farmers who actually live down a real gravel road deal with trashing whatever vehicle they need to get around in.

[@StanislavGrabchev]

5:08 hahahahaha 😂😂🤣

[@timothyskattum950]

See you at Yosemite Camp if your still doing it...

[@LSD04]

Proper countryside

[@ellisbrandt2475]

loving that star trek meme

[@MZ-9993]

DUSTIN KLEIN COOPERATION WHEN

[@robbchastain3036]

Funny quip, VC, 'the champion of something.' And we should each be the Champion of Something with participation trophies as party favors for all. And funny, too, your wife talking like a Valley Girl. Like, totally.

[@amidatongassassin]

Love the dinner brah!

What model is that Giro helmet?

[@kimrice394]

“It wasn’t like this... It was like, Cool!”😁

[@batsenses5572]

rear cassette and front chain ring set up on the felt?

[@kylecouture1917]

Hey VC. I currently ride an s works tarmac with red etap and zipp 404's. I want a second bike that i can use on gravel, maybe some cx, that i can beat up on the trainer as well as a winter bike on the road. Im leaning towards an orbea terra. What do you think? Any other bikes i should look at?

[@TheVCAdventures]

The felt breed is what I have an it's great. But maybe the best in my opinion is the Canyon endurance. That's a bike you could race a crit on, swap wheels, and go do a MTB trail.

[@cyclingfan7303]

10:56 bless you

[@BruceChastain]

that ride will take me like 20 hours :)

[@jackmorrissey5318]

Title of beginning song?

[@sarmato1]

10:10 for the win

[@irvingrivera3072]

did you still have the hie wheels? What did you think about the durability?

[@TheVCAdventures]

I still have them, they were very durable. If you wanted a rim brake set, I could sell you mine for like $200

[@f2.8-]

Hey man, what rear hub do you have on your bike? Great sound!!

[@Tim316]

Not a huge fan of the fisheye, feels Hella trippy. Liked the ride though :)

[@TheVCAdventures]

The 360 cam was the only thing I had that didnt die. I lugged the big camera up with me and 2 batteries were dead instantly.

[@Tim316]

@@TheVCAdventures Yeah, commented too early, before you explained.

[@Tim316]

My bad

[@Ultegra10SPD]

Lipstick batteries bruh!! Or an Anker brick. -U10

[@rocco.mbb.zoccoli]

Picard ftw

[@mikicastan]

That s-works-what is that,crux?

[@buddyblanco]

It looks like 650b wheels on a SL5 tarmac. Can someone confirm? If so I'd try that setup on mine.

[@mikicastan]

Budd White It realy looks like sl5 but tyre clearence is very modest on that model

[@Mark_Tucker]

2016 S-Works Tarmac di2/disc, wheels are Bontrager Aeolus 5s, tires are tubeless IRC Marbella 700x28s. It looks like I could clear 30 no problem. I so would have sported the MTB pedal/shoes if I'd have known it included a lumberjack festival LOL!

[@mikicastan]

Mark Tucker 👍i will try to do that on my caad 10 disc

[@jamesambrocio]

Yo VC, cool helmet. I have one too and it feels bouncy on rough roads, for me at least. Do you have the same issues?

[@TheVCAdventures]

Yeah, kinda. But I just pull down the back strap as it usually will ride up in the back over time.

[@jamesambrocio]

@@TheVCAdventures you should make a review about this helmet.

[@LarssonTheBear]

Yo VC are you still running tubeless tires on your road bike(s)?

[@TheVCAdventures]

🆒

[@reedjacksonmaccom]

my alexa responded to your kid lol

[@R_C420]

You say you're vegan, but those tires seem a bit _beefy._

[@andyheilmann1656]

Hopefully they were warmed about the amount of walking That would not be a ride for nice new shoes

[@Mark_Tucker]

that would be a No but I figured gravel so it'd be better to wear my old Fiziks not my newer Sworks Exos

[@garybonham6048]

You made me shudder through the whole video, watching those pretty shoes on gravel....

[@sammariel]

Enjoyed the video, your wife is hilarious..... calling those young bucks bitches......lol

[@jakobw135]

Why do you call the unpaved - GRAVEL road - instead of the original name: DIRT road?

[@sam2288ful]

-.- bruh the face palm right now. #iamamtbrider..

[@sam2288ful]

also depends who is riding a mtb.. if a xc rider rode with you.. i.e me..you guys would be done for lol

[@Leloni535]

Rosdies got to stay roadies !!!

[@ClockCutter]

Roadies and some cross riders, many of whom were also roadies, created gravel. Take a hike.

[@JB-bp3nz]

First!

[@sherwin3williams]

a experence rider with a xc mtb should be faster than a cross bike

[@buzzman4860]

Roadies....

[@sherwin3williams]

a mountain bike could have done that in his sleep

[@CraigSotelo]

Jesus ... maybe less spandex next time! Typical Roadies

[@TheVCAdventures]

Bro, if I it has pedals, imma wearin Peter Pan tights. If it has a motor, then I'm wearing the baggies.

[@CraigSotelo]

Hahah I love your vids and it wasn’t directed towards you but I just couldn’t stop looking at the other 2 guys loud ass spandex lol

[@jamesallbee30]

Flying drones in national parks is illegal

[@TheVCAdventures]

100%. But this is not really a national park. Its general forest service land. Still, probably would get yelled at by a sherriff if he saw me.
