  • The last 18 miles of Mid South Gravel 2024... well, mostly. I punctured out of the lead group with 7 miles remaining, but enjoy all the fireworks of the lead group exploding from ~16 down to the final 6 riders. I'm calling these a visual podcast for now, narrating as the attacks, battles for position, and singletrack ripping unfolded in real time, while adding some background about the other riders along the way.

    Payson - These are the best kind of videos, race recaps from inside the action. Anyone willing to carry a camera and capture it is a hero in my book. The coverage for gravel races is pretty sparse and tbh, this kind of footage is way better than seeing the race from a helicopter or something. I was on the edge of my seat in the single track. Also appreciate the honesty about yelling at guys and stuff. Please keep doing these!

    We’ve all been waiting for a front grouper to carry a camera! Thanks man. The dude pedaling 120 cadence trying to finish had me rofl😅

    @SmolSnake 2 หลายเดือนก่อน +22

    I think this format (race footage with voiceover) is much more engaging and relatable than plain action cam footage.

      Awesome coverage. Unfortunate finish but hilarious when you got ok the wheel of the guy with the 180 rpm cadence. Was thinking that was how he rolled....

    Stillwater local that rides that red trail often. For the past year I have wanted to see footage from the pros' perspective going through the single track of the race. Your video delivered beautifully and was a very fun watch. Good luck with your season, Payson!

    Thanks for bringing us to work with you. Love the commentary. It's great to get a peek into what actually goes on at the pointy end of these races. If it makes sense and you enjoy doing these, we'd love to see more! Cheers!

    Outstanding! I'm 73 and have done all the LandRun/MidSouths since the inception but for 2017. Although I have finished seven of them, I've never known what goes on at the front of the race. Kudos for you this year and your previous successes. (This year I finished a bit behind you at 10:41 and change. LOL) Bobby talked me into doing the first one with my only bike a Peugeot UO8. "Oh," says Bobby, "that'll be fine with this little knobby 28mm tires." Wrong!

    I’ve been searching for days on getting some insight on this event and yours is the first one! Can’t express my gratitude in your efforts to bring us right into the event! And the hot group on the day! Your staying power and positioning is lovely to watch! It was also so so nice to see Ted King mixing it up! What a legend for giving the 2024 season a real shot! Glad you mentioned him. To be honest the sketchy crap you guys deal with is a very mental draining issue, I’ve now had a front seat view on how close you guys get to almost crashing. Anyways, this format gets my vote! Your keep sharpening your craft, and soon a massive victory is on the cards. You are carrying great conditioning, lol after your health and stay upright! All the best for 2024!

    @stevecollins5700 2 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Keep up the videos. As a 50-mile guy who did hike-a-bike on much of the single track (while staying out of the way of faster riders), it was fun to see how the pros do it.

    As others have said - I really appreciate the coverage from the front and the narration to go along with it. Very few of us normal riders get to see much of what racing at the front is like. Your insights and commentary are also very interesting in terms of tactics, how you're feeling, on course chatter, etc. Thanks so much for sharing - your efforts are appreciated.

    Thank you for the inside view from the lead group. I just felt gutted when you had to stop and so near the end. Thanks for the commentary. It really helps to understand what you are experiencing. Having so many vehicles on the course and then that pickup crossing… that’s just crazy. Here we have an annual half marathon race that used to be scheduled so that you had to average better than 9:00 pace or be stopped by a train crossing. Even when the trains were short, it was more than 2:00 minutes just standing.
