88-MILE RIDE WITH MY SIBLINGS (Riding the Enchanted Circle)

I took my siblings to ride the Enchanted Circle, New Mexico's most iconic road loop that goes from Taos to Questa to Red River to Eagle Nest to Angel Fire and back to Taos. At 88 miles (140km) with 6,000 feet (1828m) of climbing, it was by far their biggest ride. And it destroyed them.

The sibling episodes are always such a treat! Love seeing you all having such a good time together. Thanks for sharing!

[@radek5690]

Kei and Bo are so tough! They were complaining at the mountain bike race they entered. This ride they are just rock n' rolling it. Macky, you are an amazing brother! Syd is just fantastic. Thanks guys!

[@workouteveryday]

Very useful video for me, thank you so much 🥰😍

[@manalotomanaloto]

Such a great episode! Thank you for sharing! Bo and Kei are awesome, so entertaining too 😁 Loved the roadie epipheny 😂😂😂

[@Tozzie29]

That was fricken awesome. Thanks for doing the miles to KM’s conversions for this Aussie.

[@electrathewonderdog]

50 miles = 80k. Is the easiest way to remember. I am British so do both.

[@IthacaDon]

A suggestion, Mackey made a statement about how you have to eat to win. Would make a video about how you decide what to eat, when, how much, fats vs carbs, healthy food vs snacks, etc. I just turned 68 and try to stay away from sugar, wheat, and crappy seed oils. I would love to get your opinions. Thanks!

[@graffix11us]

Syd and Macky: Family Edition always a good time!

[@josephturner560]

Love the videos with your family!

[@JDMc2.0]

Our dirt riding season lasts longer in Ruidoso, come on down!🌶

[@lawrenceokane1678]

Well that was a treat for us roadies. Great ending!

[@mattspen]

Yay for sibling episodes! Fun group!

[@ciraloke]

Armoured commuter semi-slicks work a treat.

[@michaelbabbel1883]

I really dig this one. The clips of you and siblings at the the diner table really brought me back to the nights hanging out with my family talking bikes and anything related. Thanks for that! Keep up the great work. It’s always a pleasure to see a new video pop up!

[@miguelortiz4446]

What a ride! So fun to watch and listen how you guys joke around! Standing 'O' to you all!👏👏👏

[@djiembefola]

I've been jonesing for some Kei content! Needed more KeiCam and Kei noises. The Family Affair never disappoints!

[@marcgv]

Thanks a lot on the distance and temperature translations.

[@samgooding-matthews3175]

So inspiring I’m going to call my brother and organise a long ride to go see the autumn leaves 🍂 thanks for the video I love this channel keep it up 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@michaellangfitt2077]

I have good friends in Angel Fire. I have noted this route for a potential ride when we visit. Thanks.

[@Mugzy1776]

I totally support riding the circle clockwise.

[@PumpkinVillage]

That was awesome. i wondered how the e-bike was going to make it. Two batteries. Great deal. Thanks for the video and congrats to all. Take care, Al

[@1pho3nixmatt]

Well dang that's further than I've ever ridden too. 63 is my longest. Well done y'all!!

[@dizzellen]

This was great! More sibling content please lol

[@anthoneyurtz5689]

I've driven half the anchanted circle and you guys are beasts for biking it. I stopped at that same bike shop in red river back in June.

[@IthacaDon]

Need more Syd and Mackey!

[@Arrow352]

So epic! Well done everyone! and thank you for sharing an amazing ride.

[@kyled121]

Great fun, thanks y'all!

[@anthonyd9984]

Super stoked to see the fam in this one!

[@douglaskaye1395]

Absolutely beautiful ride great job all!!!

[@andyheilmann1656]

I saw the snacks and got so excited!! I love seeing something a little different from you two. great video!!

[@billderas3420]

Although I was a roadie back in the sixties and seventies, I certainly missed Syd and Macky zooming insanely through the trees and over the rocks on their off-road races. Just glad you survived for the next off-road race.

[@sydandmacky]

Yeah, road riding just doesn't shoot nearly as well!

[@okayatbikes1909]

Beau: “should I pee myself?” No, this is road riding not triathlon 😂 Love the yellow/gold bar tape. Oh deer! No, not Turbo. Don’t go Turbo (Wreck it Ralph). But dang, zooming down hill at 40+ mph is soo fun! Once you understand pace lines, you understand the importance of teams in cycling.

[@Team81MTB]

That was inspiring. Guess I'll dust off my road bike and go play roadie tomorrow. It'll be a nice change of pace from the trail. I have a feeling it won't take too long to be back on the MTB tho. 😁

[@drakebonnellbonnell9045]

From Fruita Co that was a fun video to watch. Thanks

[@Matthew_Xc_Mtb]

I couldn’t do 80 miles even in an e bike great job love the videos

[@DameEdnaBrown]

I really enjoyed this family outing

[@chudyja]

damn. that is a stunning route

[@AileenBaker]

The Bo commentary is A+

[@frankwinters3732]

That was a lot of fun. Great show.

[@CanyonWanderer]

Haha, those last few seconds 😂 sounded familiar, but ... cannot put my finger on it 😉

[@greggr1591]

Of course they made it all the way, chocolate pretzels & gummies never fail!

[@mxaexm]

Awesome video!

[@RealtorRoadCyclist]

Fun video

[@skiplauderbaugh5058]

Love it - one of your best videos !

[@sq5]

That was really fun to watch!

[@jimborainbird2311]

never underestimate the power of the "Ju-Ju" water!! Have to say Macky, you should have let Kei take the win!

[@myroncunningham9042]

Love you guys!!

[@nolanott7707]

Wow, 80 miles is a lot. I was dead after doing 40!

[@tomassanesson902]

Sooo awesome epik trail 👍🤘💪❤❤❤

[@MrQuicksilver405]

Kei is awesome!

[@SioLazer]

how sweet!!!

[@perrystalsisworldofbiology767]

Interesting how no-one has rear lights. Crazy.

[@pineappleexpresshk]

Imagine 88miles of food delivery with mtb non stop lol

[@logout1337]

Yo, did they finish the house that they were building?! I'd love to see a video about the finished project

[@sampol6763]

Love u guyssss, finally i can comment hahaha

[@bogoslavjordanov2580]

Bo's cam ?!?!? Blue cap Macky , yellow cap Syd

[@sydandmacky]

Yeah, confusing, huh 😂

[@electrathewonderdog]

Funny how you get used to big miles or Km’s. My biggest is just over 400k in a day. I have been doing road and mtb’ing the whole year round for almost 30 years. Mtb I love st the time, road I feel the good after. Riding near London generally is rubbish. Audax events are lovely with lovely people. Riding in France or Ital in the mountains on road bikes is amazing. Then again mtb’ing in Lenzerheide this summer with my kids and wife was super-cool. Like god gave me something back. Bikes are the best

[@alexiea7831]

Great video as usual, my misus likes the background music, can you tell us what it is?, thats if your not to busy.

[@chrisreid3907]

88 miles and 88,000 subs...Better tell Bo to get ready for the 100mlie/100,000 subs ride😄

[@sydandmacky]

Good point!!

[@mrdr89]

Would you ever consider doing Ragbrai?

[@alanmtbuk]

When I'm thinking it's warm at 11c in October for the uk

[@sydandmacky]

We always have to take the elevation into account here. If it's 11c in the "lowlands" it might be snowing on you in the pass!

[@alanmtbuk]

@@sydandmacky yeah Nottinghamshire in the UK is very flat lol

[@madyogi6164]

3:05 Are two attempts enough to fry an egg on it?

[@dgriffinm]

Cow story sad,but funny

[@kiltymacbagpipe]

See that’s where your siblings and mine differ. If one of them said let’s ride 86 mile I’d say no thank you let’s cut it in half.

[@Chahtawarrior31]

How about those awesome times! Wow, I think I can make that loop! Then I realize the hills and COPD don't play well together!!! ja ja ja ja Bravo Zulu (WHich Pearl Izumi Cold weather Jackets did you wear Macky or your Brother?)

[@sydandmacky]

Those were the PRO Barrier jacket!

[@vasingerke]

Great video, went to buy some merch from the store👍 May I ask what is the hot recovery drink? 🤔 This route could've been done with a road bike as well in my point of view, I didn't see too much gravel like paths or am I wrong?

[@sydandmacky]

Skratch Labs chocolate mixed with hot water = hot chocolate 😍 and yes it's definitely a road ride! We just only have gravel bikes.

[@loganmumma3337]

Hey Syd rode 100 miles on a tandem when she was like 6. I think that should count for something. Also what is that mesh knit pearl izumi sweater that Macky is wearing?

[@sydandmacky]

That's the PRO Alpha layer. It's super cool: bit.ly/3DzRotV

[@mikieson]

dang guys..you went 88 should have just did 100 lol..good job!

[@deanito1968]

Good on ya folks. A beautiful ride but I find road riding on a highway absolutely terrifying. Not for me. I will accept all the risk of mountain biking over putting my life in the hands of a distracted driver a few feet from me.

[@ricomacpherson6845]

Apparently you've found out that Gummy bears are are for breakfast 🤣

[@freedomstar3814]

Looking like power ranger cyclist !

[@jeffmpvd7689]

I don't think any eBike has an 88 mile range. How did Kei do it?

[@sydandmacky]

We carried an extra battery and swapped around mile 55

[@maggiemoore5500]

Deep thoughts by Bo

[@sydandmacky]

Yeah, he went all philosophical on us!

[@Bringyourownhammer]

👍

[@joanneleyva4942]

Macky, were your parents hippies?

[@sydandmacky]

Nope.

[@garyonnen7634]

Single speed cross nats?

[@joshuasampson6971]

What is your Strava ?

[@rorystorm4284]

I guess I don't watch enough. Is the gentleman your father, Macky?

[@sydandmacky]

Yup, that's my dad, Bob.

[@burrellbikes4969]

Is it just me…or does Macky look like he is riding in a cardigan?

[@sydandmacky]

Haha. That's the new PEARL iZUMi PRO Alpha layer (bit.ly/3DjD098). It's pretty cool because it's fleecy but also has holes in it. Hard to describe, but it's a cool layer because it's really insulating if you have a wind breaker over it, but if you don't, the air goes right through and cools you down.
