THE BEST FALL GRAVEL RIDE IN BEND - Ride Vlog

[@kaoserdnase]

Eric lagerstrom ,God of video.

[@MarceloG..]

Paula on a gravel race next year.... we heard it and read it here, can't wait to see it! Eric, your filming and riding with one hand skills are just crazy.... Great video!!!!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

haha she's locked in now!

[@nathanmclain9027]

From one red head to another Paula, love that you keep it real. Keep the great content coming Eric. Your video and editing skills are getting so fire!

[@davidhaythornthwaite692]

A bit late for the weekly must-watch this week due to my own training today. Another epic video, the fabulously shot, love the bike sequences, and the always very apt music edit. Love my Sunday catch-up with all things That Triathlon Life. Stay safe both, much love from the UK.

[@christianneottinger3932]

Beautiful ride and fantastic filming, editing and production. I wonder how much your ride suffers for your art. Thanks for taking us along.

[@paula_findlay]

we made it one pretty specific film ride on an easy day. So the ride didn't really suffer at all.

[@Mike.A.]

Thanks Eric and Paula for sharing this awesome ride! 🙏 Beautifully done video Eric (as always), worth going "all out" for 👍 👍

[@Thespecificgeneralist]

😂 Paula unhappy about filming the gravel ride - me immediately googling gravel bikes for sale and wishing I was in Bend. Hahah Great video as always team!

[@chrisc9074]

Gotta appreciate Paula’s candidness! And I’m in the same boat - now I need a gravel bike in addition to a road bike, tri bike, bike dedicated to the trainer…..wants or needs? Not sure! If I stick to the formula of the correct number of bikes = x+1 then it’s a need 😁

[@Thespecificgeneralist]

@@chrisc9074 I love her candidness. It’s refreshing to see something real! I need a bike shed bigger than a house now. Road, TT, commuter, pub bike, gravel, MTB, vintage… yadda yadda yadda 🤣

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Gotta upgrade the bike storage system 😂

[@jasboehlke]

@@chrisc9074 I agree, pandemic no traffic got me super excited about gravel when all the cars came back. Gavel got me super excited about discs, so sold three bikes, rain bike, road bike, commuter bike and bought 2, Aspero for gravel and Caledonia 5 for road. Definitely a need!

[@annybear3]

The sound of the bike, like the pedals... Ack. So good. 💜

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

❤️

[@barryfield9300]

Very entertaining Eric, great drone shots! Perhaps in the future both you & Paula will be competing in Maui!

[@susanwiggins6309]

Stunning!! Thanks for another amazing Sunday video.

[@willemdekok8392]

Enjoying your feel for camera, sound and story winding around the topic of tri. Thanks! Keep up the good work

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks man, that means a lot

[@davidrossbach9226]

Dude you are so good at this. Amazing shots and quality music choices. Always looking forward for your drops.

[@Miss33S]

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@PK-qq1lz]

beautiful couple in beautiful landscapes... love from switzerland

[@marie-joseecossette3984]

So so good 😊

[@hansiedekock2115]

Stunning Footage. Well done Eric

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks!

[@mattwideman3986]

Amazing. Great editing. Wow.

[@wanderalmeida9584]

Great footage! Greetings from Brazil.

[@Mezzytrash]

I just moved to Bend 2 weeks ago. Excited to ride all the gravel area here.

[@lisahunt59]

Beautiful route! How can Paula be grumpy on a ride like that??? ;-)

[@SamHandelman]

So funny, saw your video yesterday. We rode the RR Spurs ride yesterday by coincidence. I think we live about 1/4 mile from you in Valhalla! Great seeing our ride in video. I agree with Paula, gravel riding in road SPD-SLs?!

[@slackstation]

The Bend, OR travel board should hire you guys. You make the place look so good. Makes me want to visit and bomb on the gravel.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Love hearing that, man! I wouldn’t hate it if they threw us a few thank you dollars haha

[@adrianmayhew6835]

Epic video - thank you

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks and my pleasure!

[@decoyr6122]

Look perfect out there team, great video for part of my swift

[@icyourbs]

Route looks amazing! Well done video!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks Craig!

[@craigcoak8483]

Great video of a great ride! I did the same ride with a buddy back on Nov 6 (from Phil's TH), but unlike your ride we ended up fighting vicious winds over most of the loop.

[@toddkearney6464]

Great video! You do excellent work.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed it :)

[@michaelellison8329]

I am a huge fans of you guys, but why you guys not racing more and winning more, you are legends!!!!!

[@paula_findlay]

I won a race 2 weeks ago! 😜

[@williamleloup4203]

Those cinematics 🥰

[@acrelake]

Man, I miss the cascade region. I took it for granted growing up.

[@georg3933]

Thanks for the cool videos! I unfortunately had a bad experience with the Dart where the plastic part went in but the feathers just ripped off and I tried multiple times taking my time and finessing it in but no luck. A good friend had the same issue and we’re now on dynaplugs that just work like a ace.

[@zoltanfarago3330]

cool shots, superb music, nice vid. thumbs up

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks 🙏

[@scottholland2558]

Beautiful video and such authenticity! How is the ankle Paula and how are you healing up Eric? Have an amazing Sunday and thank you for sharing!

[@BrentSnider]

Great video, thanks for sharing. Looks like I need to make a trip up to Bend to get the best gravel trails!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Do it! This is just a taste 👍

[@NickGoldston]

what a dream

[@canada1144]

wow, so good

[@darkwanderer1504]

wow great video!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Thanks!

[@donnacunnin2018]

Made me think just maybe Gravel? But I need the shoes too Paula :) Beautiful spot, really.

[@Tethysmeer]

Envy you for these flat gravel tracks. Here in Switzerland gravel is mostly hilly, like 3000ft for a 20 miler. But beautiful non the less.

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

😳 that’s gnarly. I guess you’re really earning the views though!

[@ericmain30]

Paula better not be lying here. I’m holding you accountable to your promised gravel race

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

Working towards it!

[@buildingreno]

Lol Salty Paula! It didn't seem like there were too many people out on that route to judge your shoes. 🤣🤣.

[@Potts147]

You guys should def do a gravel race in 22! SBT would prob be good. Doesn’t seem as technical as some of the others. Wahoo is the name sponsor. They would prob be stoked to have you ride it!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

That's on the list! There are a ton of races just in Oregon that we could do as well, just to get Paula's feet wet :)

[@mikehoward1738]

Better get that lady some pedals!

[@mattmcgrath9061]

Nice

[@arcadialive4265]

Gravel riding in bend is amazing. Just wish the city would create better bike lanes. It’s pretty scary biking around downtown.

[@worldonastrng]

yup, zero bike infrastructure here :(

[@Terrilyn_Austen]

Does the bike hurt Paula's ankle or is it just weight bearing/running?

[@timobrien256]

Dang….guess I am just going to have to bite the bullet and get me some gravel tires!

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

100% you do. haha

[@51077454]

Is this route stil accessible?

[@michaeltalles8512]

Eric you’re the man…except for the fact “You haven’t got her any cleats for her gravel shoes” God bless you man.

[@paula_findlay]

I was obviously KIDDING, don't worry.

[@pavanatanaya]

They need to rename Bend, Lagerstrom.

[@bfilly]

gotta get out to Unbound200 now that you’re groadies

[@ThatTriathlonLife]

haha I've done a couple gravel races already, but I dunno about 10 hours in the saddle.. I like the 4-5 hour stuff ;) done in time for a late lunch

[@yetogoicolea586]

get Paula some proper shoes jaja

[@TheYondaime008]

No shame in gravel riding in road shoes, I do it all the time
