- I rode the "50" at the 2024 Mid South in Stillwater, OK
I had one stupid crash (thankfully nobody else was injured), but I finished. Apologies for the heavy breathing, it was quite hard. Had a great time with our crew from Columbia South Carolina. Plans are already forming to go back next year. If I can work on my endurance, I plan to enter the 100 next time.
I did the 59 as well! The 4000' climbing does eventually take its toll! Looked like you had a great early Spring gravel ride in the red dirt! Years past, when it was raining or wet, it took 12 hours to finish the 50! Great video, reminded me how many different surfaces there really are on this ride!
That was big fun to ride along. You ripped that woods section!
Good Job! I am in the green Stone Brewing in front of you at the starting line as we left town. I am a newbie to cycling as well. Good luck on your future rides!
That is so good. I relived some of those spots watching it and the phone return was an awesome moment. I can see how you left me in the woods even if I didn’t wreck 😂
Wes!
Congrats!! 🥳🥳🥳 I hope to do it in 2025!! I was at 19:48 watching from the sidelines!!!
Great ride dude! Mid South is the absolute best.
enjoyed your video as well! I may attempt the 100 next time
@@JohnnyPowRides Thanks man! You could totally do it. I'm actually thinking about doing the 50 next year because my wife wants to give it a go. We'll see...
Go Johnny Go
Nice video. How long did it take you to do the ride and what was the distance?
Hi! Do you have any information on your normalized power and w/kg over the course of the 50k? What tires did you run and what was the psi? I'm training for next year thanks!
I’m a total newbie to cycling and exercise in general for that matter, so I don’t know how to calculate any of that! I didn’t train for this other than doing a half dozen rides around 25 miles. My longest ride prior to this was 34 miles. I just wanted to finish!
I rode on Terravail Washburn 700x42 which were skinnier and a little more road focused than most I saw out there, but I think they did great on the dry, firm conditions we luckily had. I honestly didn’t even check my psi, but I run my tires a little firmer than most I suspect. I still have a lot to learn!
The one change I decided after this is to switch out my front chainring from 42T to 40 or 38 to see if it’ll help me with the hill climbs which was my nemesis on this ride. And if I can ride a few more local events, maybe put time and miles on a trainer and consider the 100 next time.
@@JohnnyPowRides thanks so much. This video was great and very inspiring.
I had a blast at TMS and the people there were all extremely friendly and encouraging! @@carlesing
