thanks for watching!
Thanks for sharing your journey Cynthia! Truly inspirational
Thanks for watching and for the kudos!
I have spent countless hours on a bike and on my feet, and in those moments, I hear a voice pushing me upwards from the bottom and into the light from some really dark places. This voice speaks as clearly and candidly as you do in this video. I have watched a few of your videos and admire the strength not only in your body but also in your words. As you said at the end: we don’t really know what is inside us until we keep going and going. So, keep it going.
wow this is such a kind and thoughtful message. Thank you!!! onwards and upwards :)
Epic, really enjoy watching it and also the fact that it shows the ups and downs just as raw as they are. Keep shredding, and congrats for all the work, effort and enthusiasm you put into cycling every day! (:
Thank you 😊 really means a lot!
Cynthia, this movie was amazing!! Thank you for put your blood, sweat and in the end tears of joy into this!
What an amazing inside view of what this took. Thank you for doing this.
And how amazing did that shower feel???
thank you!!!! it was a journey for sure. I think the shower was actually painful🤣
Thank You for sharing your highs and lows. You’re Amazing
Thank you 😊
Congratulations! Welcome to the Gorafe Desert, an outstanding place in the world.
It really is wonderful!!
Great production, and seeing your Badlands race unfold just left me wanting more. Ultra racing is so much more visual & tantalizing then gravel/road 1 day events. Will we see you on the Tour Divide in the future? Best wishes for 2024.
thank youuu!!!! the race was super exciting! down to the end! I will race tour divide at some point in the next 2 years. Need to put together enough support for it and I'll give it a go!
@@wattwagon If I follow correctly you are headed to the Atlas Mountain Race, Wowsers! That is so exciting and I look forward to all your content. Wishing you and all the racers if AMR the best.🚵♂️
@@Michael-rz7ic Yes! headed there in a week! thank you so much.

Wow! I’m staying at your mom’s air bnb and she told me about you and video. I’m so glad she did! You’re such an inspiration to me and all the other people out there- helping us push the imaginary limits we set for ourselves. Thank you for sharing!!!

What was your gearing setup? Was it similar to the other competitors?
You can find the video about my gearing setup here: th-cam.com/video/a5aWqnmhxMI/w-d-xo.html
I would say yes, probably similar! biggest difference is that I do not wear a hydration pack
❤
thank uuu!!
Very inspiring. Appreciate your candor and insight that goes beyond the bumper sticker philosophy of sport, competition and life.
thanks! appreciate the kudos :)
Q: how German can you be ?
Uba: yes
😂
Thank you for your insights. You ultracyclist are a fascinating people… but it feels like it’s taking an unhealthy turn (Sleep deprivation).
agreeeed. Sleep deprivation is definitely not healthy. something I want to try and avoid as much as possible but in the most recent race I wasn't actually able to sleep, even though I was in bed. lots of challenges!
and also... uba sooo german. but quite wonderful.
Great ytube Channel 👍🚴♀️🚵♀️👍👌
thanks so much!!!
Low volume narration makes it a bit of a struggle to comprehend. But excellent videography, which i suppose means those who care less for whats being said wont have any issues enjoying this one.
good tips for the next one! thanks.
When you say you're alone , how is that when you have a camera guy following you.🤔
98% of the time I am alone. Often I don't even see the videographer! There are a few media teams covering the event and when you're riding 25-30kmph you pass by in seconds. thanks for watching!
wow .. just wow... spoken like a true ultra-athlete, the pain the suffering the struggle.
Oh by the way the average wage in the region you cycled through in Badlands is about 10,000 euro.
So your setup for that race is about twice the income of many people in that area who are raising a family.
Talk about not reading the room. Are you an entitled American by the way.
There was a time travellers talked about the people and place they went thru, now its just me me me .
