I won the SingleSpeed 24 hrs of Old Pueblo - Macky should give that a go in 2022, it’s great race! Met you guys at sea otter when I broke my chain, maybe 2017/2018? Love the channel keep going guys!

[@davidtt8372]

That guy you passed hiking on the first climb was hilarious "SINGLE SPEED, HOLY SH*T"

[@michiganstate149]

"Single speed? Holy sh*t" 😂

[@filda2005]

Well you go up by feet, and down without need to pedal ;)

[@joanneleyva4942]

As if I couldn't respect your skills anymore, you go ahead and ride super technical, rocky, and sketchy conditions in bad weather. You are DA MAN Macky!

[@fgiraffe8751]

“These awks are rockward” definitely needs to be a sticker.

[@sydandmacky]

Excellent point!

[@cardiaccyclist7477]

This is such an epic series. It really captures the intensity and excitement of the race. I look forward to each installment. Thank you.

[@MrTimberob]

As a 62 year-old overweight guy who's recently got back into mountain biking (all be it with an e-bike )after 20 year break, I would like to say thanks for the motivation , information and entertaining videos you've been making both on this channel and Syd fixes bikes . Tomorrow I'm entered into a 65km e-bike race and a part of that is down to you guys ! Keep up the good work and I'll try to be awesome 😉

[@sydandmacky]

Awesome! Good luck and have fun!!

[@roamingwolfpack]

I hope your race went well!

[@MrTimberob]

@@roamingwolfpack yes it did.. Well I finished without any drama and am looking forward to the next one! Cheers.

[@funkentratzer9744]

You are a machine! I’m still so impressed you have the respiratory control to be polite to hikers. I think all they would get from me is wheezing and pointing. Keep getting it!

[@brad571]

Passing while hiking 🤣 that's incredible.

[@HairyMTB]

The text with the conversion to km is really appreciated thank you

[@steve2815]

that Wheeler climb, followed by the Miners Creek climb is absolutely soul-crushing. and thats on a geared bike in good conditions. its just hiking for what feels like forever, up the steepest trail imaginable. but if you can make it up to the top, that descent down Miners Creek down into Frisco might be the best descent in the state (at least on an enduro bike. on a single speed, it seems significantly less fun). this whole series is a good watch and your performance dominating on a SS is impressive as hell.

[@montparkmodelrailway300]

Macky, your navigation and descending skills in those conditions were exceptional, great effort

[@kenth7211]

that wig at the end 🤣

[@graememackenzie8795]

“There goes my ego…” there’s no shame in getting your butt kicked by Macky.

[@RandyArellano]

Congrats on a great finish in truly scary conditions! Chapeau! And "Bravo!" to Syd, her dad, and the rest of your crew!

[@darrenottley7500]

This race is just mind boggling to me! On top of in on a single speed! Amazing and inspirational. Keep it up!!!

[@LLeoBan]

Thank you Patreon team!

[@mnmike59]

Both of you are truly Amazing!

[@PumpkinVillage]

Another epic day. Bad weather stinks. Another good job. Take care, Al

[@RGCastro7]

Spectacular, Macky! 8th overall, yet on a singlespeed? You're a Boss!

[@waynecallister2236]

Holy Cow! 8th over all on a single speed! Macky is unstoppable! And another congrats on 1st place SS, couldn't happen to a nicer or more deserving guy! Of course it didn't happen to Macky, he made it happen!

[@jamesweldon8118]

11:57 truer words never spoken 🔥🔥🔥

[@guillermoflores4095]

cant wait till tomorrow's video, got off work went straight to my computer to see Macky killing it. Great Job

[@DouglasKubler]

Great series of races. I think you build those huge time margins with descending skills!

[@MattGrovesFTW]

Falling into a bush. Been there.

[@chiccorocker]

Oh my god Macky you are killing it. Good job!

[@martynjewell5627]

That stage was the definition of Epic. Thanks for bringing this race to video day by day 👍

[@lancelot6011]

I now have two heroes. The long time one is Mikaela Shiffren, and the new one is Macky who is just hard core. Rock on 🤘

[@michaellee348]

I love your level of trail etiquette and engagement with hikes, sadly there are a lot of cyclists out there that don't understand this relationship helps keep our trail access! to all the mtbers, be more Macky!

[@markpalmer3071]

Wow my legs cramped just watching that!

[@MTBMichigan]

This has been a great series! I I'm going for my longest ride tomorrow and this has me pumped

[@sydandmacky]

Woohoo! Good luck! Don't forget to eat 😉

[@MTBMichigan]

@@sydandmacky funny you mention that! It was something that stuck out to me. I'm t riding a balance though as a big guy on a bike...

[@vivianfaithfull4748]

Love the wig move! And the moonscape views on Wheeler! Crazy to say but I'd love to do the race ..... Melbourne makes it tricky right now

[@allocke9446]

That was super impressive!!! Beautiful scenery.

[@JoeS97756]

Incredible...just speechless.

[@jcsrst]

What an amazing job you're doing!! All that training is paying off! Continued best wishes going forward.

[@samsonitte]

I love the wig on the podium Macky!

[@seantierson2633]

You're a madman, Macky. I got bacon too while watching this! It was on my bacon king from BK 😂😂😂

[@charleysweet]

I've been watching your channel for a few years now. rarely miss new content you put out. this series is SO MUCH FUN! You are killing it and can't wait to see you come in first. Stay Awesome!

[@razmtb5028]

Goooooo Mackkkyyyy!!!

[@vegaslocal7555]

Damn dude 8th overall on the single speed. Wonder if you would have hit the podium on a regular bike. Great job

[@marysullivan1588]

Nice job Macky , my lungs were hurting just watching that . You are a beast !

[@jeffdillon3517]

Inspirational man! Makes me want to ride more and more watching this series of race videos

[@adolfow5668]

Super cool videos! Cheers from a singlespeeder down in Mexico

[@mattkavanaugh5623]

Wow wow wow wow wow! So impressive. I just wish you wore pads Macky as I get so nervous… 👏🏻👍🏻🙏🏻🤪

[@RobertsonDCCD]

Gutsy stage, Macky! Well done.

[@Ghostrider304]

Damn dude, you’re killing it. I’m sooo looking forward to tomorrow’s video!

[@johnzemetra6106]

Colorado weather can be punishing and deadly anytime of the year. Very impressive that you made those descents without a jacket.

[@sydandmacky]

I admit I was a bit cold a couple times 🥶

[@mikieson]

some brutal stuff Macky..no matter how you place always make sure you place FIRST in your own mind. Your goals. Your training. Your day...Keep it going bud!!

[@Scott-mk7tz]

Waaaaay to much exertion for me!! You're an all-star Mackey!!

[@jackiegammon2065]

WOW! What a day Macky, and you had a great ride at that. Can't wait to see the next stage, and see you step on the podium as well!! Kudos to the staff and your great crew!!

[@freddyoslen6343]

Fantastic effort Macky. Epic content

[@kyled121]

Only one to go, you're doing really great. Don't stop being awesome!

[@michaelchristiani7507]

Awsome day in the saddle Makman. Keep it up and keep moving forward. So lovin this series of videos

[@veganvagabond]

Those awks were rockward! Great day Macky!

[@garyonnen7634]

No soft pedaling in that first 3 miles, that hurt just watching. Great job. Thanks.

[@streddaz]

Awesome effort Macky. Love the “wig” on the podium 😂

[@sydandmacky]

😁

[@kimrice394]

After that I would need help getting onto a podium!

[@MattSellhotbite]

You are a BADASS !!! Keep it up !! really enjoying the vids ;)

[@gambitmkii]

Awesome series you guys are amazing

[@ricomacpherson6845]

Great ride today. Some of the descents were very reminiscent of a Mctrail rider video. continued success

[@nicholkid]

Just wanted to thank you guys for making these videos, I know it's a lot of editing and work and I appreciate it! Always an instant click when I see a new upload

[@Nexumbiker110]

Excellent 👍🏻👏🏻

[@GeekonaBike]

Just another great vid, shout out to Patreon folk, all the course vols, plus Syd & Macky

[@dirtfam505]

These videos are great! I wish the others would do similar content still. 👍🏽 keep it up, can’t wait to syd at it again! Good luck

[@dkw4par]

Congrats! Nice hiking tips and hopefully I can use it on the Leadville 100 next year.

[@stephencaggiano1085]

It's been amazing following the race 1 day at a time!! Great content. Keep it up

[@NJBrown-vs9qr]

You're amazing on the bike.

[@derekcravenPT]

Awesome riding once again. All the best for the last stage.

[@jamesweldon8118]

19:13 dude picked a bad day to hike lol

[@rhpmountaintrail9206]

That’s amazing well done.

[@philipjohnson8444]

This series is almost as much fun as when you did the BC bike race. Keep spinning brother.

[@Jinedan]

Awesome - keep it up!!

[@id.747]

Wow! This series is amazingly awesome! Really great content!

[@jaralei]

Brutal. Epic. Amazing!!

[@karlstine2065]

You rock Macky.

[@curtislee6242]

You guys are cool!

[@rascal1234]

Looks like you wear the AfterShokz head phones. I have been using these for the past year. I love them.

[@sydandmacky]

I love them too!

I really want a shirt that has your logo on it, with the statement "These awks are rockward".

[@mikekobylasz3490]

Your an animal Mackey ! Way to go man!💪🏼

[@pnikkoh]

Single speed 8th overall, what a monster!

[@windmillcancersurvivor2568]

Was just thinking about more comfortable, more flexible enduro type shoes for this grinder and then he does hiking tips. The elevation is satanic in nature but that custom paint makes it feel less of a gut punch! You haven't changed a tick since your college days!

[@gerardfangeau7162]

This Brek Epic is gone too far, first days in Colorado, and now in Scotland ! What a race ! And you get 8th overall "Single speed Holy Sheet !".

[@sydandmacky]

😂

[@roberttengler7100]

I keep expecting big foot to pop out and wave to the camera.

[@Shoeless_DA]

It would take me 5 days to do the first leg. Gnar!

[@Chinook550]

Been enjoying the videos; thanks! Coming from the Midwest, those trails are pretty rocky. When would you say, those trails are too rough…let me throw on elbow/knee pads instead of soley my xc kit?

[@sydandmacky]

Pretty much only if I'm racing Enduro. I have yet to meet a XC course that I would wear pads for, at least if I'm racing it up and down 😁

[@Chinook550]

@@sydandmacky Good deal; thanks! Congrats on the awesome ride!

[@rundano1960]

Awesome racing. What gearing did you use today? Thanks

[@sydandmacky]

Ended up keeping the same gearing all week: 30x20

[@mattcoalter1769]

Climbing up crazy rocky step section, this is unrideable by anyone...a second later back on bike. I know it was a different part of the trial but I still laughed.

[@maestrop427]

Great video guys! Awesom ride Makcy, you look really strong on the bike! Top 10 on a single speed, incredible! Question where did you carry your tools for potential mechanicals?

[@sydandmacky]

Tools in the rear jersey pocket plus food and phone (for music).

[@maestrop427]

@@sydandmacky Sweet, I think I might try the same, thanks!

[@fire128dragon]

What GPS is that on your bars? Thanks and great content.

[@sydandmacky]

That's the Stages Dash. Link in the description plus a discount code.

[@geckonia]

And I thought where I ride is rocky 😅

[@georgek1518]

The trail looked so rough for all the stages, did you use liners in your tires? Great videos, thanks.

[@sydandmacky]

Nope. Just XC trail casing tires.

[@hithru]

stupid question: Is your Gopro rolling the entire time or you are just recording interesting bits? Awesome race!

[@sydandmacky]

I turn it on and off throughout the race. Even that much footage is a pain to edit (not to mention the batteries wouldn't stand a chance) 😁

[@hithru]

@@sydandmacky Cheers, I was wondering how the heck would the battery last. How do you choose when to switch on the camera? Based on memory of the course/randomly?

[@sydandmacky]

Generally if the scenery is really good (and I notice, which I usually don't), or something interesting is happening (passing someone) or a descent.
