200-years-ago-dead-sick is my new go-to excuse for any situation I’m in - thanks Taylor

[@bighammer3464]

Who be Taylor?

[@dropbaran]

@@bighammer3464 ooops - Tyler 😅

[@austienbryandemesa5841]

whenever i feel angry about our generation I just think of this, I would've died multiple times in the first place without our modern tech lol

[@nickireed5365]

Same. Love it!

[@Jharfouch]

His name is Tanner

[@sebastiandragonheart]

"Ride my bike for me while I eat these blueberries" 🤣🤣🤣 That had me rolling

[@samjohnson137]

honestly, I just really enjoy your narrated rides! I think you are great at telling a story too but these more 'directionless' vids are very relaxing and inspiring to go out and bike more!

[@lesand5484]

I think anything VC posts just inspires me to go out and ride. The content is so wholesome somehow.

[@lapajoe]

The race videos from your POV are my favourite ones.

[@pabblogarrido]

love the shade being thrown at jeremiah 😂

[@mikegordon2554]

That’s some built up shade fo’ sure

[@nilotrim8816]

The banter on the last climb was amazing, love when people just have fun. Hope you get back on form! Love your vids.

[@GSmith215]

I love this series. Don’t undersell how good this is

[@plain-bagel]

Even when "there's no story to tell" you somehow find one and make it engaging, hilarious, and motivating to go ride! I've ridden southbound on Hwy 1 many, many times and it holds such important memories for me. Looking forward to watching your journey!

[@escsniper]

The blueberry pit stop was CLASSIC!!!!

[@alphahxr]

Cool video, love the slight rebrand, awesome editing, and your voiceover.

[@sheldonrevis9268]

the 80's hero comeback training fitness jam at 6:30 though!! F' I need to go do some push ups or something. Reminded me of a Van Damn movie.

[@raymonddelange5974]

Good to see you back on KZbin with Jeremiah Bishop ! Love you man !

[@SendingStache]

Top notch cycling content. You absolutely get the shots, you savage mid-packer 🙏🏽

[@shaunmaher6997]

Great video! Hope the train like a pro vlog is happening this year!

[@matteo1214]

I hope the same, it’s a December tradition for me already 😊

[@cooperk4]

We've missed you dude. Best storyteller I know.

[@M3ROWING89]

The biggest excuse why Tyler is not top5 is holding gopro I the mouth whole time so we can all see this epic story.He even talks with it instead of breathing 😮

[@DanBirasi]

Thanks VC - inspiring as always. Greetings from Germany

[@markwilson4710]

The fact that you are out there after being sick is a testament to your ability and love for bikes. Cheers to holding it down!

[@drewtietz2274]

And, We're back! Missed you on here Tyler

[@aischwartzable]

You say nothing happened on this adventure and yet you have this knack of making a fun epic story no matter the circumstances

[@TheVCAdventures]

❤️❤️❤️

[@krismahoney2299]

VC uploaded today !!!!! It is a good day. As always Tyler love your vids good bad and ugly your just such a awesome person

[@matthewnormand2041]

Good to see you're back, VC! I should have said hello at the booth. My BWR didn't go so well. Crashed descending Raptor Ridge at mile 35 and dislocated my left shoulder. Day over right there. At least the medics at the expo got it reset quickly.

[@bknapp9728]

Can't wait for episode 2 of 7! 🔥

[@brentcollins9727]

5:40 “I’m still traumatized from breaking my femur in the parking lot of a Taco Bell” 😂😂😂

[@flavourbusiness3870]

You getting off the bike too eat blueberries then screaming at the guy trying to ride your bike that he’s ruining your race was brilliant

[@tonygSDWR]

Dude, stoked you did so well considering your health. I had a moment to say hello to you in the pits. It was nice chatting with you!

[@SmellyBoy28]

I get the feeling VC is genuinely a bit pissed off with Jeremiah not filming hahah

[@JohnMikeBikes]

So happy for another video. Can’t wait for the whole series and daily vlogs next month 🤙

[@TheVCAdventures]

Thank you so much! Vlogs start imparted this 7 episode series.

[@BigTsvids]

Love it!!!! Love the name VC Adventures, it's so fitting!

[@lucasrobinson4577]

Been craving a new impossible route. Hope you guys keep it up!

[@Biking_with_Akiva]

What a fun watch. Great vid 💯💪🏾 looking forward to the next one

[@MrJaycobsen]

I think you should sometimes do a bike video showing your setup for these races too. Good for the sponsor and interesting for me and I'm sure other viewers too

[@kyleheron38]

“Ride my bike while I eat these blueberries”. Hardest laugh while watching a VC video. Pure gold

[@hapageek707]

Sooooooo STOKED!! VC YT content is back! BEST bike content anywhere!

[@henriquebbotelho]

“They gave me some sort of steroid treatment. Not the cool kind” 😂😂😂 when I tell you I completely died laughing

[@jasonurroz570]

"200-years-ago dead sick" is an awesome term. I'm stealing that!

[@benverschaeren6467]

Glad you're back, missed your content.

[@rexthedog9637]

It really is synonymous with December offseason trainer time with your vlogs. Thanks for giving us a month of your time to welcome us back to indoor training.

[@WaltDoesBikes]

Hahaha dude! If I’d have had my road cleats I totally would’ve crushed that hill and you’d have won.

[@shelly2743]

Awesome way to start to the end of the year Vlog!

Awesome video bro! Can't wait to watch the rest of the series. What size tyres are you running on the Canyon Ultimate? I've got a Synapse with the same tyre clearance which I've been thinking about putting some fatter tyres on.

VC you need to tell the whole broken femur in the Taco Bell parking lot story! 🌮 🚴🏻‍♂️

[@Specki1980]

Cant wait for the next Episodes. Love that shit ❤❤

[@ashrockdigital]

Saw this video in my feed and thought “Vegan hasn’t posted in a while. Never heard of VC Adventures.” Took a second look the next day to realize you rebranded! Maybe put your face in the next few thumbnails for folks to make the connection?

[@TheVCAdventures]

I changed it just before this uploaded. I’ve wanted to change for a long time, but I think you’re right about the face.

[@dmv4554]

Love the vid. Is Jeremiah VC’s frenemy?

[@TheVCAdventures]

This series shines some light on that a bit. We butted heads on this project for sure.

[@BlueJayGer]

What a week. Wish I could do that sometime

[@christianborris6754]

The blueberry guys are legends
