    Great ride. It was so hot, I was a couple hours ahead of you, but felt the same. Coming from Vermont, I was not ready for the heat and paid for it dearly. Couldn't keep the heart rate down, couldn't eat or drink much and power had dropped dramatically. Fun times for sure and now want to go back to do the 150.

      In 2023, there was two inches of rain the night before Gravel Worlds. There was a mile of dirt road that was a complete mud pit that no one could ride through. In other words, expect some challenges in addition to the course!

      Thanks, sounds like lots of us had a day out there with the heat. Part of the experience I guess, never know what will happen with the weather! You should for sure give the 150 a go!

    Good job Rich. Heat is for real. I did my usual ~40ish mile "easy" route yesterday in NC in mid 90's with about 95% humidity and I was on the struggle bus for the last 10 miles. Heart rate wouldn't go below 140 and my neck was cramping, which doesn't usually happen. I can only figure it was the heat. I have a ride coming up in the mountains of NC in a couple weeks. Looking forward to cooler temps. Not looking forward to 15% grades. We don't really have rollers like in NC like they do in NE. Seems like they'd be fun, maybe a little monotonous? Some of them looked a bit steeper than the Ride w/GPS route suggests. Again, good job.

      I can't imagine riding in that heat yesterday, I worked in it but no way I would have tried 40, I did that stuff when I was young but my age is showing now. I wanted you to know that there's a 50, 100, and 200 mile gravel race every year in the Croatan National Forest, I'm not sure if it's in the spring or fall but you can check it out by contacting New Bern's bike shop ( Flythe's bike shop ) if you are interested. I haven't ridden it yet or the race that is, I ride the forest frequently.

    Barn rat filthy fifty in pretty prairie maybe? An historic barn as it's setting. Chili and cinnamon roll as a meal. Beginning of November, so no worries about the heat you endured at gravel worlds

    Did you find Gravel Worlds to be more challenging that SMBT GRVL? I was in the same race with you in Lincoln, but I think I was about 30 minutes ahead of you. I thought it was a challenging course.

    • @backofthegravelpack
      @backofthegravelpack  2 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thought the gravel worlds course was easier than sbt, but I struggle with long climbs at elevation. My issues at gravel worlds were heat related. Like to ride it on cooler temps, seemed like a great route.

      I riuna gopro on a mount under my bike computer, and another on a Volta handle I keep in a feed bag for "interview" type shots. I've broken 2 voltas now though, so may need to look for a different option there.

      Not sure to be honest, forecast was in the 90s, lady at the finish said it was 100+ at some point based on some sort of metric.
