Sweet video, dude. Great job on 6th. This video was fun to watch, I have some special ties to Aliquippa also. Super cool.

[@TheLankyCyclist]

Thanks TT!

Do you think this type of cycling makes you a stronger road cyclist or is it totally a different animal?

[@TheLankyCyclist]

Certainly makes me a better bike handler. As for fitness, it worked for Van Aert and van der Poel. It’s more repeated efforts than the typical 5-10 minute road effort to break away and the sustained effort to stay away. But I don’t race road so hard to say. It certainly won’t hurt.

@TheLankyCyclist i see. The road crits are repeated efforts over and over... so it may apply.. im 60yo. I should really stop doing this stuff . So dangerous for old men.

[@TheLankyCyclist]

@ was thinking road racing but yeah crits would probably be similar. We have guys pushing 70 in the series. Probably much safer racing cross than racing crits. 😂

[@cliffcox7643]

@TheLankyCyclist oh yeah it is . I've seen many crashes and injuries with my own involvement w 3 of them under my belt and 2 separated shoulders
