[@hamburglerhelper326]

is there award for cutest gravel cyclist? cus you would win

[@OXI28101941]

8:05 “I don’t know where all these punctures are coming from…” Welsh karma, particularly considering it also rained. Jokes apart, amazing video as ever.

[@mwbev]

congrats maddy, amazing result and such perseverance ! your spanish accent👌

[@maddynutt]

Thank you! Aha it definitely isn't a mexican accent that's for sure.

[@julianhowell6351]

What a great adventure - a lesson for us all in 'never give up' in gravel racing!

[@maddynutt]

Definitely :) Never giving up again aha!

[@beckywareing3956]

Well done, check points/feed stations that offer you beers 😄 I like the sound of Mexico already!

[@joenutt8647]

That was just an absolute joy to watch. You're making this hardened roadie think about getting a gravel bike! 😂

[@maddynutt]

Imagine the adventures in Surrey...

[@batporio]

Exactly my thoughts!

[@septemous]

Purple Gravel, 50Gal Podium and another monster ride! Chapeau !!!

[@davieislay]

Again, just a beautiful film. It’s not the race, it’s the experience. ❤️🚴🏻‍♂️

[@maddynutt]

Definitely agree! Made the most of this whole trip for sure :)

[@davieislay]

@@maddynutt Thank you for taking the time to reply. Keep doing it exactly like this. Xx

[@andyc9187]

Incredible video, fantastic achievement in a tough race. Keep the vids coming.

[@maddynutt]

Thank you! :)

[@daviddurok]

Well done Maddy, Mexico looks amazing. I rode Glorious Gravel Galloway(try saying that fast) last weekend, hail and serious downpours for 4 hours, you were better off in Mexico than the uk. Great result once again and really good video content, loved it 😁🚴💥

[@maddynutt]

Thank you!! Definitely Mexico sun over British weather any day :) Galloway is a great place to ride though!

[@tefer1982]

Grinduro or Mexico... Correct choice. 😂 Been to Mexico twice but just as a beach holiday traveller, the country and people are lovely though. Great racing too. 👌

[@maddynutt]

Cheers! 100% correct decision 🤣

[@BikepackingAdventures]

Nice spot of mountain biking right at the end there. =) Great video Maddy, Wales or Mexico - seems like an easy question to answer especially if someone else is going to pay some of the bill! Especially loved the vibrant colours of the buildings, what a long way to go for an exciting bike ride!

[@maddynutt]

Ahaha enjoyed chucking that into the end of the trip :) and loved the buildings! Trip was definitely worth the travel time

[@johnsenior478]

Such a lovely travelogue - ambassadorial, linguistic,cultural citizenship of the world and very ‘bad ass’ gravel riding..( obvs food - thin on coffee content though) ..

[@maddynutt]

Thank you!! Ahah it wasn’t a very coffee heavy week. No oat milk in Mexico!!

[@deblordoutdoors5783]

Great video Maddy. Always worth keeping going as you never know what adverse situations other riders will end up in. It ain’t over till it’s over. Also, another shining example of your refreshing attitude to reframing and still getting the most from the experience. You’re a fantastic athlete for younger riders to look up to. You really appeared to capture the feel and vibrancy of the culture too. Really enjoyed watching☺️

[@maddynutt]

I am so glad you enjoyed it! Definitely a lesson in it’s always worth keeping trying regardless.

[@BikepackingAdventures]

@@maddynutt well thats the big difference between road and gravel, so much more can and does go wrong when riding 'off-road'.

[@colinchadfield406]

Fantastic ride and proof of the "it ain't over 'till its over" mantra.

[@maddynutt]

100%. So worth keeping trying

[@ramsden35]

Fully addicted to watching Maddy!

[@troymorgan4955]

Great insight to Mexico- looks lovely - much nicer than I imagined. Cracking vid.

[@maddynutt]

Highly recommend! One of my favourite trips of this year for sure

[@andrewmcalister3462]

Kansas, Finland, Kenya, Mexico? Maddy, you are really getting around. 🛫🚴‍♀️🥇

[@maddynutt]

Ahaha I am…Iceland in less than a week 🤩

[@andrewmcalister3462]

@@maddynutt You'll have to let us know which is tougher on tyres - cactus thorns, or volcanic rock. All the best for the Rift.

[@maddynutt]

@@andrewmcalister3462 thank you! I feel cactus.../hope cactus ahah

As ever Maddy - a joy to watch

[@maddynutt]

Im glad you enjoyed!

[@hugoed3740]

Well done Maddy, not a bad result considering it was a “training run” 😂😂😂😂 Having watched your vlog (twice!) Mexico 🇲🇽 is on my to do list…… thank you.

[@maddynutt]

Honestly an incredible place to visit !! Am glad you enjoyed enough to watch it again ahah :)

[@alanbenham4139]

What a super adventure! Congratulations on your win. Keep up the good work and I look forward to seeing your next VLOG / adventure.

[@maddynutt]

Thank you! :)

[@vicnutt6742]

That was a fun ride and a fun video! And great job on the podium finish!

[@maddynutt]

Cheers! :)

[@CaptBongo]

Well done Miss Maddy. Glad you enjoyed the trip and race. Bit of a problemed start but it worked out in the end.

[@Planetone.]

What a beautiful place for a gravel ride, race❤ so jealous 😊

[@maddynutt]

It really was stunning!

[@rafaelmedina604]

Topo Chico is a Place in Monterrey, Nuevo León in which there is a Mountain called "Cerro del Topo Chico" where there is a Spring water. Hope you can hit BWR Mexico in November, will be awesome to meet you. FInally Congratulations, you were tagged #2 but you Reach a Plus One

[@maddynutt]

Hoping I can make it! Might be taking an off season then unfortunately, but I am super keen to come back to Mexico. Loved it so much

[@biketrybe7071]

What a great event. Thank you for sharing. I love your tenacity in the face of hardship - and Mexico is awesome, too.

[@maddynutt]

Thank you! Mexico is super!

👍Well Done Maddy

[@L4Y_SP]

just amazing

[@petesjk]

Mas Mezcal! I think they’re both made from agave, the smoking and processing are different?

[@maddynutt]

Apparently different plants? And the mezcal plants were all over the course ahah. There were shots of mezcal as you crossed the finish line. true spirit of gravel 🤣

[@petesjk]

@@maddynutt A quick search says that mescal is made with agave, and tequila is made specifically with blue agave. Historically, tequila was a distinctive mescal from the region around the city of Tequila. Yes, it’s very considerate to have a recovery shot of mescal ready for riders at the finish!

[@maddynutt]

@@petesjk ahahaha this is great!!

[@petesjk]

The infamous goat head thorns!

[@maddynutt]

Apparently nature’s plugs aha. I should not have removed them 🤣

[@fraji1]

You go girl! Love the Spanish. Use it or you lose it .

[@maddynutt]

Definitely! Inspired now to pick it back up again

[@fraji1]

@@maddynutt I speak Spanish and here in the states so easy to stick to English and not use it enough. But I try to use it every opportunity I get. You’re very good. Stick with it. Not to mention you’re riding. Ahhh to be young and fast :) cheers!

[@ReVoltaire]

¿La venganza de Moctezuma?😅

[@AlejandroMallea]

Your Spanish is not incorrect when you say "lima". What you pointed at is the fruit of the "limero" tree, which is green and smaller than its larger and yellow counterpart, the "limón", which is the fruit of the "limonero" tree. If they correct you, it's only because the names are mixed and some times reversed depending on where you are and what the most common variety is locally. The names "limón verde" and "limón amarillo" are used too, and the names of the trees may also change from region to region.

[@maddynutt]

Ahaha we had a bit of debate. Apparently the limón verde is shortened to limón a lot, and because they barely touch lemons, limón just automatically goes to lime! I didn't realise there were so many differences in vocab. Had quite a few moments where I said something people didn't recognise or I didn't recognise a word!

[@leefitler4597]

Did the other racer get his wheel back?

[@maddynutt]

Of course! Swapped them straight back after the race

[@haemstah]

Did you learn Spanish at high scool?

[@maddynutt]

I did, but then also as part of my degree
