This is why i ride a mountain bike 😮. All our trails are like this up north, never dry and the quads tear them up
Need to add a MTB to my stable
Eric Lumberjack Lee. Man what a day!!! What aaaa day. Good to see the determination to keep going and cross the line mate👍, and see u scored a fixa upper keep going 💪🏼🤙🏼
So glad we are over this now 🤪
Don’t worry this ones going into my saved list😂
The only gravel event I’ve done locally that is actually gravel - Turas Mor in Creemore
Noted!! I do wanna try a REAL gravel event 😅
When i see you fall in the mud many times... it remind me.. If not counting when i was young kid or ride in cleat first time , I have not fall of the bike for 10+ years of riding. Then when start riding MTB and gravel bike, suddenly I become a newbie and fall so many times since.
This kind of course is no no no for me while some people treat as "challenge" and "hero dirt"... hell no. I don't like riding in mud, water and heavy rain at all, ruin everything + can cost a fortune to repair the bike.
I’ve crashed more at 35+ than when I was a kid 🙃
lol what a beast this looks crazy
It was DUMB! 😅
You a beast! great job bud!
Thanks buddddyyyy!
We used to do this race on road bikes Back in the day most of the roads were gravel and the "Trench" was still covered in railroad ballast....but Boag has always been a mud pit.
They need to pave it to the other side!
the offroad sections more like xc course than gravel well anyway .... looking forward for your next irl race ....
Next one gonna be smooth as silk 🤪

You never fell, you just had lot of challenging racing incidents 😁 Jokes aside, I think you did well considering the circumstances and that it was your first experience 👏💪
Can’t get any worse second race… can it!?
Nah😇
Bike handeling is a real thing, let Zwift a side for a while!
There’s no such thing as bike handling on mud 🤪
@@DontGetDroppedCycling too be honest there is.. riding a lot of muddy single track at my place. Helps you a lot with core stability and shifting etc.. and just like the video, you fall and get back up riding it smoother each time
@@BPM2001 Yeah, true words, I live in North Wales, UK. notorious for mud as it seems to rain all the time so even in the middle of summer you can often come back from a ride covered in mud, use your full body to balance and flow with the bike, something that takes time to learn but once you get it it's like poetry in motion, keep at it Erik.
29 kmt speed on that no-road is insane.
I chatted with a top-20 in that event who rides locally in the Hammer. Told him about all your spillage. He shared with me that almost all top-20 rode the entire course staying upright. My guess is that you have wayyyy less experience with this zhit.
Great job being sensible by cooling the body multiple times.
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOO duh Erik!!!! Thinking outside the box here 😆
Wtf did I just watch? 1:00 "F@£k!! Not what I wanted"... 😅 This is crazy! How long was this ordeal?!?
TOO LONGGGGGGGGG
@@DontGetDroppedCycling haha!!
Am I a bad person because I laughed when you tipped over into that first mud puddle? Sorry.
Nope, that’s all I can do looking back at it too! 😆
Yes apparently straight to jail
The "new gravel", beats the Gravel that is basically road racing with a higher chance of flats 😂 👍 Ride On....IRL
Just no mudddddddddd. I’m fine with some puddles that I can ride around 😆
✅ mud and water
✅ Itchy tall grass
✅ Mosquito infested woods
⛔ No thank you
It was not my favourite time on a bike. Confirmed ✅
Don't Drop?
😅
Having fun yet?
Fun left the building on Boag Road…
Could've been worse, the guy only saw you fall once not 3 times
I ended up having an epic battle to the line with the older gentleman up front. I’d drop him on the hill, he would catch me when I was dying on the side of the road. Then he sucked my wheel to the line and my Zwift legs took care of at least ONE person!
Looks pretty awful. Why on earth would you get a gravel bike if you had to ride a track like this. A mountain bike is just going to be 10x better. OH NO YOU'LL LOSE 20 SECONDS ON THE 10km ROAD SECTION. Yeah, don't care. I'm sure I'll make it up for the hour I'm riding past all the gravel bikes falling in and walking through the mud.
Pretty sure 75k was road and 20k off road. Winners all finished with gravel bikes pretty much! 🤷🏻♂️
Fair. But what would Dylan Johnson ride??
@AndrewisTri-tn1uo put the biggest tire into his sponsors frame!
I must admit that course was bull sh-t
Utter BS!
