Alistair allready on a Cannnodale - fine

[@bodyipbysimonleichnam3898]

Those girls are pretty tough

[@thefollandgnat]

Nice. Road surface that we can only dream about in the UK. And weather.

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@thefollandgnat Hey you have some pretty nice country roads! I’ve seen a few videos and would love to visit, we can trade for a few weeks 🤣

[@pmatosinhos]

You cannot imagine the roads down here in Brasil. Savage!!!

[@pmatosinhos]

Seeing you from Brasil! Well done mate.

[@JulAlxAU]

Way to go Max! Sunny Coast is amazing. And you have got access to Neil, the best bike fitter in Australia! That’s the bonus for you.

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@JulAlxAU Thanks Julian, great riding and weather up here. Home to a fair few pro cyclists. Heard Neil is just down the road from me, may try see him in the near future 😉

[@nexar1393]

good footage mate

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@nexar1393 Thank you mate! Glad you enjoyed it 👍🏻

[@TheNabRider]

Nice video mate! New sub here. Keep riding!

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@TheNabRider Thank you! Appreciate the sub, legend 👍🏻 hope you enjoy the videos 🥳

[@matkrek]

Great commentary

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@matkrek Thanks mate, appreciate that. Voiceover is a new thing I’m trying, so glad people are enjoying it 👍🏻

[@mattgilmour9761]

Savage, nice video champ

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@mattgilmour9761 Thanks mate, it was a great hit out 👍🏻

Old mate at 10:10 trying to become road kill

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@Gramkan yeh look there was no chance I was jumping in the middle of the road for that sprint with cars behind 😂

Find an option to "normalize" the sound level in your clip in whatever software you use for production and use it so the whole clip has the same volume. I lasted 3 minutes and stopped to write this.

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@djkoti74 Appreciate the feedback mate, audio/sound in the clips are going to differ as it is filmed outdoors with wind etc. If you have watched my previous videos, my audio is levels above what it use to be. I also fade music in and out for the voiceovers and speaking sections, otherwise overlayed music is all the same volume. 👍🏻

[@djkoti74]

@@ItsMaxMann When you finish working on your clip, normalize the sound level in the whole clip. It's just one mouse click and it levels the volume in your whole clip, makes a world of difference for everyone listening...I use headphones and its a nightmare when quiet dialog ends and you get hit by extremely loud music, makes the clip unwatchable.

[@cecilecorpuz5735]

One reason why you're not able to gap the Pro riders, is perhaps that they are pushing a 55t to 56t big rings up front.

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@cecilecorpuz5735 Haha I run a 54T, although even with that I wasn’t catching them. They are too strong and too dialled in, that’s why they are pros 😂 good fun tho

[@DanTuber]

Do you like the Wilier? Pretty impressive how the girls can keep up with the guys.

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@DanTuber I enjoy riding the Wilier, it’s a quick bike, however I don’t have much to compare it to. I’ve ridden a Canyon Aeroad and this Filante. Would love to try something else one day for comparison sake. Very strong female riders! Very impressive indeed 👍🏻

[@DDai-qd8uk]

Nice work habib

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@DDai-qd8uk Thanks mate 👍🏻

[@blue-wanderer4392]

I ride mtb with 60-70 rpm, 100 rpm cadence is crazy fast.

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@blue-wanderer4392 for some strange reason I’ve been getting higher and higher cadence but seems to be working 🤷‍♂️ I used to be 80-85 max

[@naug7]

I don’t know how you guys do it, it looks so sketchy with the cars everywhere!

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@naug7 Haha I guess you just get used to it hey, when I first started I found it sketchy but you adapt and learn to be weary of your surroundings ☺️

[@paulwild7352]

Thanks Max, I can tell by your comments you are a good student of competitive cycling. I liked your cadence numbers, as most people (the other cyclists in the group) default to a slower rpm when under the pump. 💪

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@paulwild7352 thanks Paul! I’m quite new to competitive cycling, really only been deep in the cycling scene for a year now. Funnily I have been trying to cycle at higher cadence when under the pump as I’ve found it more rewarding than grinding out and getting fatigued earlier 🤷‍♂️

[@aucklandtoday9847]

Cool vid

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@aucklandtoday9847 Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it! 🥳

[@1962speiche]

sooo brave Cyclists!

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@1962speiche thanks mate!

[@craigbrown6833]

Anya Louw from AG Insurance strong as ever.

[@ItsMaxMann]

@@craigbrown6833 Thanks mate, was unsure of her name but noticed the kit! Very strong cyclist!
