Thank you for leaving the original sound and not adding horrible music. Great effort and the route was amazing.

Man that shoe pedal squeaking would drive me nuts…you sure are applying some torque up the drags. Cool location and insane descending.

[@louiscranfill4094]

Looks I bet. That squeaking drove me nuts! Speed play all the way

[@randybrown4774]

Was that Tom Pidcock on the full suspension mountain bike? 😊

[@dcpeter1]

Impressive, big power bridging up to the front group on a couple of those climbs! Good ride. Are you comfortable sharing your height and weight to give some perspective on the power numbers?

[@AlexRunge53]

Appreciate it! Definitely burned more matches than I wanted to bridge back up after those descents when the field spread out. I am about 140 and 6'2".

[@dcpeter1]

@@AlexRunge53 Even more impressive: a buck 40 and several seconds above 500w with a peak of 630w (@~13 minutes)! That explains how you bridged the gap so fast. Do you have a running background that would explain your engine?

Hey Alex, Can I ask please? I am going to do my first gravel race after years of mtb. I am struggling with tire choice. The course is similar to what you are riding in the SE. What tires are you using? Thank you

[@AlexRunge53]

I have been using 42c Pathfinder Pros. Fast rolling but still pretty good grip.

[@cityjack966]

Thank you Alex. Looks like they are a favorite for alot of people. Hard to find right now. Thanks again

[@neuregel]

[@Just.a.Therapist]

What program do you use to add the speed, watts, etc on the video?

[@AlexRunge53]

Garmin VIRB Edit

[@ryantreadway4142]

You mist be an ex roadie with those descending skills!!!

[@ksduathlete]

CTs guy .. riding on the crown , jumping lanes without checking behind. I bet that was nerve racking

[@BrickMoneyFilms]

Ayyy made the vid, need to start running my gopro again, good riding with ya again. Mind if I clip some of this for an insta reel and if so do you have an @?

[@AlexRunge53]
