The Megahopper: 9 of California's Grasshopper Gravel Races Mixed into One Massive Ride by Ted King

[@towhee7472]

I don't know why, but Ted King's gravel videos are the best on KZbin. Not that the other ones suck, but these videos of Ted wear the crown.

[@ososdechengdu]

Best infomercial ever! I am going to drive up to Healdsburg this weekend and spend some money.

[@jdeckard1243]

There are Legends then there is Ted King.

[@DD-xx8wh]

wow !! how was that even possible?!.. We absolutely love Healdsburg and environs! Thanks to you we are additionally motivated - we modified and created the "Megastopper" with the goal of visiting every bakery/coffee stop on the route...although we may drive ;-) !!

[@woolfel]

I don't do gravel, but watching you do these epic adventures inspires/temps me to go off road around MA and NH. The few times I've gone off road around central and western MA was by accident or the group decided to take a gravel detour.

[@ChrisP978]

Same. I've taken same pretty narly gravel roads in central MA in the name of a shortcut, unfortunately on a road bike.

[@cyclingnerddelux698]

In central Austria and excited for the premier!

[@treestotrails]

What an effort 🚴✨✨ And the production quality of this is amazing

[@GottaLoveGravel]

Ya nailed it, so after Vermont I want to go there.

[@ralphwiggum4president506]

Seriously such an inspiration to see you cover that distance. The views. The story. Just perfect. Kudos

[@alexmites]

Bonked astronomically doing the 20% plus gravel to Mt Vision from Inverness. A BEAUTY AND A HALF.

[@BikeLifewithRob]

That was epic, I thought our 100 mile 9 hour fat bike ride in the snow was hard…oooooof! Sweet ride Ted.

[@denishoule5841]

Awesome job - I love that Ted makes incredibly difficult rides look easy and inspirational...I always want to get on my bike after watching his videos...

[@hungerknochen]

What an incredibly nice good mood video! Brought a big big smile on my face! So much smiling and fun and fine pitures and music and peace! Thank you! More of that pleeeeeaaase!

[@MarkEcker]

That’s a crazy amount of elevation! Very impressive!

[@disjointedbike]

Thanks again for another great video! You are a huge inspiration for my gravel rides in 2022!

[@burkeculligan4756]

Awesome - it's a thing now, let's ride. Great stuff Ted and team, always inspirational.

[@stevechadburn81]

Yet another awesome vid Ted! Keep ‘em coming 🙌

[@Vangriff]

great video Ted and the area in NorCal is really special

[@mattdowney6540]

What a spot to ride!

[@pierre-luclebel6136]

Amazing Ted! I’ve never experienced bikepacking, but as soon as I watched one of your videos, I knew instantly I wanted to do this. I’m training on Zwift so I can go as soon as possible!

[@budlacombe3651]

Just wow! Well done Boss. Inspiring.

[@daveyoung6305]

Chapeau. Amazing ride and looks like a fantastic place to ride.

[@geothunder1971]

Had the pleasure of doing the Kings ridge route last Aug and I'm planning on going to back to ride and explore

[@Mr2fiveone]

Amazingly beautiful riding in California. Hope one day I can get out that way before my earthly demise. Kudos, Bravo Ted!!

[@Ch-rl-s.L-ntz]

You really don't have to convince me to want to live & ride in Healdsburg. 👍 Really cool project and video!

[@revhof]

What a great ride! And beautifully filmed.

[@jeremysweeten2792]

Convinced me! On my way this summer!!

[@agavestraws4545]

Love your videos Ted!!

[@SioLazer]

Officially home sick. Damn I miss you NorCal.

[@terry.hudson]

You're a legend man 🙌🏻😄

[@robertbotta6536]

Incredible! So impressive! See ya at Rooted.

[@meredithnielsen7035]

Is a Strava link available for the ride? What an awesome video tour of most of my favorite roads in my beloved NorCal! Thanks Ted and Laura!

[@ahmadzuhairi]

Those are great tyres for the job.

[@johnbenson2902]

Bad. Ass. Watching this makes me want to go plan a crazy bike ride here in AZ!

[@GTO90s]

I am acutally at 355.88 miles on my Schwinn 594. My home to work over 12 miles, but come back home other totals at 24 miles per days for about 2 months from now.

[@AVOYSWORLD]

This video was super cool 🔥🔥

[@tevemullins8156]

MEGA!!

[@valiantabello]

I need to stop watching these videos before I end up buying a gravel bike

[@JM-zi4in]

Gnarly!!

[@budlacombe]

btw. I’m up to join ya on the next one.

[@eric_bones]

So epic

[@simonguard5087]

Really enjoy following your films, are you a fan of the 650b wheel? I ask because i currently run 700c but thinking about making a purchase, my riding her in the UK is a real mixture of tarmac, fire trails, muddy single track and gravel when i can find it!

[@edwinhuizinga3042]

With the RidewithGPS route being exactly 666km it was a devil of a ride! Great video; great ride with friends. When exactly did the ride happen?

[@Samsonmetaphysical]

What saddle did you have on your bike, was that a Fizik Argo Tempo?

[@ritjobbie]

Can anyone ID that headlamp and strap? 🤔

[@jvisscher]

That's *Kingsane* Can't put it any other way..

[@tomasberka2124]

Incredible feat... Well done! Short question about your rig - do the handlebars have any flare...? Thanks & keep up such a great content!

[@oldanslo]

15 pieces.

[@roadglide]

100%!

[@mikedaddo242]

👌👌👌

[@tubesockets120v]

Why do you choose the Super six over the gravel specific Topstone?

[@Thomas-fy9yc]

That’s not a SuperSix, it’s a Supersix EVO SE. The SE is essentially a slacker Super X.You can’t stick much bigger than 40c tires on a carbon Topstone.

[@ChazzzzR]

So Cool, but where's the gravel. Must've been tough to do that much road on 48mm tires.

[@oldanslo]

The film crew support van stuck to the paved roads.

[@oldanslo]

The route is only 12% gravel.

[@kawabus]

🚴✨✨

[@justinmshortba5838]

Oh my god, I want to ride this thing! …slower, or course.

[@ernestotorres1959]

Seriously, how do you feel about your tire choice?

[@gustavo01181]

It’s not on Strava???

[@jeremysweeten2792]

Would’ve been great to see route and elevation profile at some point in video. Would’ve been even cooler to see your progress on that route throughout the video (interactive)

[@TedKing1]

All things I wanted to do. Good to know for future videos. Adobe After Effects is easier said than done!

[@jasongraham6772]

Wearing black in that heat sure doesn’t help

[@ericpmoss]

I will never understand cyclists who insist on wearing black in the summer sun. Every f'ing video ends up with near heat stroke, and they all seem confused as to why.

[@cypriano8763]

with a 2x you wouldnt be walkin
