Really enjoyed this view of the race that most of us normally see. It is always tough to get enough miles in for the race when you are working a day job. Great to see you grit it through. I usually end up coming out of the event stronger for the next. It is a mental game just as much as it is a physical game. Cheers to the party at the back pace. Nice to see you kept you spirits up and rode together to the finish.
@@KuriosPC Absolutely, in the moment when I was digging deep I was wondering what I was thinking. Two days later I was like, I would like to do that again 😂
Just found your channel and getting caught up. That is so nice that they call out the names/hometowns of all the finishers. Wow, 11k' of elevation is serious.
Bro those times you're speaking about the 150miles, just couldn't understand but man just hearing you speak as you put in those miles man you guys rock, it was tough but you guys did your grind. Well done.
I did the DAMn (day across MN) and the feeling of following taillights at the start of the race is something I can't describe. I am thinking about doing this race this year.
@@iowagravelgrinder The DAMn is no longer an organized ride. I had a great experience but it was brutally hard. Starting at midnight is a completely different experience and caused some great sleep deprivation. A lot of the climbing in in the last 40 miles after you have already exhausted yourself in the first 200. 243 miles in 24 hours in no joke. I finished in 21 hours 6 mins (my goal was 21 hours but I so happy with my effort). There is no was way I would have finished without my support crew. Even though it is no longer an organized ride the route will always be there. It has very hard mental and physical battles. There is a hill that is called the wall. It maxes at 24% and I was so determined not to walk that I ended up riding passed everyone who was walking.
@@bethbikes 😮💨 anytime I hear there's a segment called the wall. It's always a tough one. That's monster effort you put up though! I bet the 300 at Gravel worlds would suit you well
Everyone knows "the wall" there are enough of them but yet each one is different. I am really thinking about the 150. The 300 is a little intimidating to me without having my own support. I only make it across the state with the support of my crew who was cheering me on the whole way and by the end making decisions for me.
Great show....but it looked pretty painful. Keep it rolling.
Thanks Frank, it was a wee bit painful between mile 85 and 120. Thanks for watching

Harry, so well said. I agree, best we can do is show up and fight to the very end. Certainly, builds confidence for the next event.
Glad you finished, brother. The 150 took it out of me last year. I did the 75 this year. Hope you join us again next year!
Thank you, I will be back! From what I heard the 75 was no joke either. Good ride to you as well
Congrats on finishing Gravel Worlds 150! I am glad you felt welcomed and enjoyed Lincoln.
Thanks Chris, the people of Lincoln were very welcoming indeed.
I did the 75 and it was awesome. The checkpoints were awesome. The hills were crazy. You did an awesome job.
Thanks for watching, agreed on the checkpoints. Those hills were serious
@@iowagravelgrinder If you are like me, you almost regretted the race, but then after you recovered you want to do it all over again.

You have grit for days!💪🏿Yet another amazing video. 🙌🏾 Thank you for sharing the experience with us. Be sure not to look directly into the sun 😉😎
Thank you! I will wear shades next time around perhaps 🤣
Respect! Hanging in there. Good vid.
Brett, thank you and I appreciate the channel support.
Yea! Yvonne for the 1,000 women signing. Also this was like a “cake walk” compared to Unbound 200? 😅
Amy indeed, less time in the TT bars this time around, wasn't too much of a solo effort. Evonne was blocking all the wind for me

Welcome to the family! That course can be hard with those rolling hills. Thanks for watching!
Nice! Congrats on an awesome ride and great race recap!
Thank you for watching. I appreciate the kind words

Thanks Bro, it's not always easy but I aim to inspire other folks to chart their own adventure however grand the first step may appear!
Hey guys !! congratulations on the finish.

DAMn is on my list, how was your experience? We will be doing this event again this year. Hope to see you there and thank you for watching!
