👍👍👍

Nice to see a warm ride. I miss my summer rides... it's -3c here in Chicago with a dusting of snow...Back on the Peloton.

[@troyphillips6481]

I've seen the bloke with one leg out at before hitting some crazy climbs at an insane pace that I don't think I could keep up with even with two legs. The guys a legend. Fantastic return to form DR :)

Nothing beats this old skl durain content!! Love this time of year lol

Hell yeah! Riding videos are back

[@briancartoscelli8029]

Love it!! We have a similar route here in CA . Totally full gas

Cool video. Enjoy these ones. Loved the MTB guy smashing it.

[@lukefennell4944]

These are true great cycling vids raw and real love it man Adelaide looks stunning ❤

[@rockhopper01]

Keep these coming. I’m in Indiana USA so winter and Zwift/Rouvy is here, so I gotta live through you vicariously for some nice outside riding.

[@markreams3192]

All those disc brake bikes are riding away from you!😂 High tire pressure increases rolling resistance! It’s slower!

[@durianriders]

Put them them on my bike and they go even faster silly. Are you that dumb?? 😂😂 I can drop 99% of riders on earth on my xc bike with 60mm tires at 25psi up Norton summit. Means I’m very fit. Doesn’t mean fat tires and disc brakes are best for uphill.

[@keithmurray5791]

This is the Harley Johnstone I came for.. The rest is a scam.. ;)

[@swites]

Which scam?!! 😮Tell me more!!!

these videos are what makes your channel great, not so much the non-cycling nonsense

[@gowman813]

Super. Thanks for the upload. 💪🏼

[@Cas2X]

Problem with any riding video is unless you actually ride you have no clue how hard they are actually going and how hard this is.

[@core-i7413]

5.1-5.2w/kg is pretty chill, if you're sitting on the wheels it's a free ride to the top

Harley, come up to Sydney and do the St Peters parkrun. I'd think it'd be so cool to see you there. Also, it's one of the most competitive parkruns in Aus

[@durianriders]

I’ve done it early 2018 ✌️

[@marcinstyle85]

I love it no cars at all 🤩😃 not like in my area in UK...

Great video!!! Love it! Really motivating

[@bonniemullen4990]

Lots of guys on bikes , what a race , endurance test , keep hydrated 😁

[@leerichy6489]

This film will give the doubters something to think about. You were passing people over twenty years younger than you and holding with very good riders. You sure can ride.

[@Dulc3B00kbyBrant0n]

More proof you people who ride in packs are insane egomaniacs. Who the hell even cares what are u twelve?

[@matthewludman1912]

He rode to the top of the climb & then rolled home slowly while the rest of the bunch went on to ride 100km. Nothing that impressive about a 13 min effort at about 350W. I have't seen the clown post a ride with an average speed faster than 27kph all year or a ride longer than 40km & he's still crapping on about how fast his old bikes are compared to the new ones.....

[@leerichy6489]

The climb time is what he is working on this summer.

[@bryr5768]

Bro you killed it serious fitness on show here

[@hoizkiacha]

great video, Mr Durianrider

[@Hebbs]

Yeah I also sit towards the back of the bunch to get better footage 😂

[@lukefennell4944]

Hi Harley would you say it is ok to have 100g of sugar like cane sugar a day in total in drinks smoothies etc thanks

[@durianriders]

The WT riders who follow me use 120-200g sugar per hour. Table sugar/maltodextrin.

[@lukefennell4944]

@ ok thanks because I have started adding it to fruit smoothies orange juice etc and really find it helps me massively just like you preach. It is also so easy to digest and tolerate unlike these Maurten drinks and gels which wreck my stomach

[@Matthewrollinson80]

Pure dextrose is better than malto​@@durianriders

[@JamEZmusic86]

YES mate! Love this content.

[@CyclingMessiah]

[@hucklejoko4838]

my HR just went z2 while sitting just by watching this video

[@bunkersnooker92]

What are the chances you could get one of the faster riders on one of your rim brake bikes to see if they can improve their time? Would make an interesting video👍

[@durianriders]

It’s just physics. Less weight = faster times. NOBODY going faster on disc vs rim all things equal.

[@bunkersnooker92]

@durianriders I've swapped my early disk brake reacto for a dura ace tarmac sl4 and I have to agree based on my recent race times.

[@Pablo_Coach]

@@bunkersnooker92on rough tarmac roads disc brake bikes are much faster because of better tyre clearance and overall comfort

Not yet. Biggest ride Ive done this year was 65km back in Jan. My vo2max is there but how my neck would go on a 100km ride Im not so sure yet. Lucky Im not a pro rider lol.

Where was your secret weapon? the SL8? 🤣

[@durianriders]

Best time on the SL8 is about 1 min slower than the SL2. Weight, stiffness, road feel and no rotor rub matters!

Yes cycling can be deceivingly hard. I see a lot of rolling shoulders on this so called fit ride. Entry level bunch.😊

[@durianriders]

Yeah Pog don’t move his upper body at all hey. I bet you would have flogged us all! DO YOU EVEN RIDE BRAH? 😂❤️

[@D_H_88_99]

everyone dropped you with fancy new tech. Get some fresh kicks on ur feet, and ride the SL8, drop ppl and be proud of your fitness.

[@durianriders]

Would have been at least 100 riders on the climb. About 45-50 in our group. My 13:18 got me 7th place on the day. Over 350 strava entries that day. On the SL8 Sworks would have been 14:05ish. When I don’t care about performance I ride the disc. When I care about every second then rim brake is a no brained decision.

[@D_H_88_99]

@durianriders you can smash these guys if you gave yourself the advantage. At least, new shoes will lock you foot to the peadal secure, look at track sprinters, they use 0° float and heavy straps because they know that locked feet = power.

[@Pablo_Coach]

Can’t push as hard as you guys, I average 4wpkg. Funny but I was actually planning this ride today but was too lazy to take my bike off the Zwift trainer.. would love to join some time 💪🙏

@ heavy. I did a gravel race on a MTB. Did the same power as my mate on a gravelbike. He went 2kph faster than me. Even with fast rolling tires and a fairly light mtb.

[@joeenglert]

wonder how you compare riding in austrailia with the bunch vs california with the riding clubs

[@durianriders]

Much higher level in Adelaide in my experience for sure. CA is killer riding though.
