This is my favorite Vegan Cyclist video ever. Not only do I get a glimpse of ME whizzing past the other direction on Del Dios Highway, but some of the trails are literally a mile from my house! See you in 2022, Tyler???
Priceless VC! You are amazing! Love the” why didn’t I bring gloves? I don’t know bruh, I’m a friggin’ idiot!’ VC, you are so human like the rest of us. We love you bruh!
I cannot hold my attention on any of youtube videos lasting more than 5 minutes. But your video, I watched it completely. love your lively commentary and hilarious yet real remarks. great work.
Im signed up for the 77 mile 12k ft Wafer in Asheville this summer. Its going to be sick! I cant wait til we can hang out in groups like this at cycling events again.
It was nice meeting you at the race. We talked about kids for a little bit during the expo And You passed me on the dirt climb 🤙 this was my first bike race ever haha can’t wait until next year. Used your videos for training motivation! Great video and keep up the good work!
This is probably one of the best edited road races on TH-cam. Love the moving graphic on the bottom whilst watching your edited analysis of your performance. Keep this going.
I'm no where near on the level that you're even on but by watching this; 40th is damn happy hour. It's just so nice to see you stoked and enjoying the sport!
" I never wanna see a rock again" VC bro your awesome watched this video man that day was killer, sunshine hardly shade with the climbs, the speeds, the gravel, rocks, just bro you and all these guys are killing it! keep riding!
Hey, GM here. Laid up the last 9 days following knee replacement surgery and stumbled across your channel. I love these bro and well on my way to watching all the vids. I’m probably a 60% vegan and notched it up to 85% following some of your recipes. Have to say, the vid that really resonated was the one about your wife. Your a lucky man and it looks like you know it. Thanks and keep em coming.
You forgot a couple other skills like...nunchuck skills, bow hunting skills and computer hacking skills. You talk about others as professionals. Well sir, the way you race and the way you conduct yourself is very professional. Keep it up.
Totally loving your channel and videos. Incredibly inspirational, motivating, and entertaining. Thank you so much for all your time and effort in producing and sharing them with us. VCFTW!
Imagine getting a flat one in the last couple of miles (especially if you are in the leading group). Anyhow. Congrats VC. 40th place from 1800 riders is like top 2%. You did very well!
Damn your content keeps getting better and better. It's like we're in a golden age of TH-cam cycling content with you, Lanterne Rouge, nationsnumber1beast, and yes GCN. Keep it up bro!
30 seconds in and I had to pause and comment. Your thousand yard stare into the camera was epically awesome. Thanks Tyler. You do great work. Keep it up Bruh.
The Canyon performed like a champ!!! That race tested every mitochondria cell in your body VC. Guess you answered the question, "what am I gonna do with all this fitness?" Well done!
Wow...this is such a cool and inspirational video really showing the full ups// downs during a brutal day of tough riding...and on a road bike! Well that is so tough i'm sure, very big congrats. I did this in 2016 (i was 4th) but i used a cross bike with disk breaks and all so wow. I could not image doing it on those small tires! Keep pushing forward. I think i put this back on the list and give it another go in 2020. RIDE ON!
I would love to get a chance to ride with you next year. It's getting popular so next year your probably gonna have some serious world tour competition.
@irctires made that final dirt climb look so pro with the banners. Love those guys. I was in the US Military kit with you at the start. Great video, thanks!
Tyler, great job and effort!!! Amazing vid and Congratulations on 40th!!! That photo of you in the chair with your bike is KILLER!!! Lovin' it!!! Great Job again Bro!!!
Still think you made the right choice with the road bike. You have more pluses than minuses. But the main reason you choose the road is you feel comfortable riding it which is Always good for a 100 plus miles ride. Fantastic work 👍👍
The road bike itself has nearly zero benefits besides being maybe a kg lighter than something like a 3T Exploro or anything akin to that. Aero is basically even. Add on some 30-35mm fast rolling (smooth center, light knob shoulders) the 30 seconds you might slide during big climbs due to the weight of a heavier disc brake equipped frame and wider tires, Tyler won't as climbing is his thing and can make up for it, you now don't have to press after every single track, gravel or sandy section. Being able to be part of the pack at the transition out of those sections at the cost of 5-10 watts more to sit in the pack and up the climbs saves a lot more energy than full gas chasing after every single technical section because you don't have the cornering traction or your skinnier tires dig into sand too much.
Thanks for highlighting this amazing event. The course you rode goes by our house twice between Escondido and Ramona. I'm totally adding this as a bucket list ride to do, but I love my road bike too much to do that to it. Your crash sequence convinced me that a CX bike with 33mm tires would be a better bet if I want to finish in one piece. Thankfully, I brought one back from Belgium, so . . . time to make plans for post-quarantine
Seeing Phil and you in one video is like... Man, just imagine you would have started cycling professional as a kid!? Respect dude!! Best vid, similar like the other run when you came in 1. place! Less than 5.000 subs... then finally 100.000!
What a ride! What a scenery! Holy crap You have A-class asphalt! Nicely rude Vegan Cyclist! Pushing, punishing, vanishing and suffering.. what a video! While watching this I ate pizza and ice-cream, smiled and suffered (mentally) by just watching. Up'n'down! 5/5 production, again! Thanks. :)))
I’d definitely go with over biking on this the total time on each terrain is 50/50. Loewe chance of flats better handling, just have to use better tactics through the rod sections.
Tyler "I was intimidated by him, I'm intimidated by a lot of people" Pearce.
Freaking love you man! 20:10
And he says "The guy looks so fit. I don't know if its those white socks."
It's just so refreshing to hear someone admitting that and being honest about what he thinks!
@@amorton9861 ....*looks on Amazon for white socks*
Get a bike room :)
I thought "wow this doesn't look like Belgium at all" for at least 4 minutes
Asparacycle same! Until I saw the sherif car at the end
@@bradleyjones4220 I'm from Belgium and my first thought was, "well this really looks like the mountains near San Diego" :)
De Pauw Bert dam fair enough...
why is it called like this tho hahaha

Glad your balls were on point the whole time! :)))
"d-d-d-d-d-d-d-dd I'm so over gravel!" Loved that moment. You're a beast, cheers man!
You're too funny buddy. Love the story telling. You made a 22 mins video seem like 5. Amazing content bruh!
I cannot hold my attention on any of youtube videos lasting more than 5 minutes.
But your video, I watched it completely.
love your lively commentary and hilarious yet real remarks.
great work.
I really appreciate that man, I’m the same way so it means a lot to hear that.
DOUBLE PEAKKKK! My backyard. Solid ride Tyler! The BWR is my goal over the next 2-3 years.
I remember seeing this on prime! I enjoyed watching this
214km in 7.23hr -> avg speed 29.6km/hr
I think you did amazing. And great story telling as usual :-)
yup , that was fuckin fast for that distance , i cant imagine that how that would feel
@jenomsedivam elevation is actually not that much for that distance
it is an average.........
@@maye5307 How is it an average when he finished 40th?
@@leonard6822 ?

To think I finished 4 hours behind you. You're insane. the Ride is insane. Loved almost every minute of it
I loved the Gripping Crash Sequence Reenactment. Probably an Academy Award in your future.
At least a guaranteed win in special FX category.
It was nice meeting you at the race. We talked about kids for a little bit during the expo And You passed me on the dirt climb 🤙 this was my first bike race ever haha can’t wait until next year. Used your videos for training motivation! Great video and keep up the good work!

Dude, you are awesome! Being an old and slow guy, you've reignited my desire to push hard on the bike again. Thank you! Great job on the Waffle!
Holy smokes-congratulations! That was great. Great ride, great video!
Tyler, you are the best, by far! Keep on with the good stuff
" I never wanna see a rock again" VC

8:40 dude smashing on a flat bar!
Sick video man I'm dying to do this race
Michael Baka sscx flat bar anyone?
He would have better control with a flat bar, correct?
Yeah on the technical stuff
Hell that's a fantastic finish bro!!!!!! You did EXCELLENT!!!!
Some rough stuff there geez...HAIR BALL FOR SURE!!!!
Poor road bike...
“and I’m just sick of the freaking dududududududu” legend bro
aka nOx that was hilarious
aka nOx it is his way of saying, “ I’m an annoying poser.”
You forgot a couple other skills like...nunchuck skills, bow hunting skills and computer hacking skills. You talk about others as professionals. Well sir, the way you race and the way you conduct yourself is very professional. Keep it up.
I agree excellent riding...
Dude you did amazing, such fitness! And your storytelling is brilliant! 😃
Hammering like crazy - for 7 hours - man you are super fit! Well done on the 40th place. Great race, great video and awesome story. More please!
" My balls were on point" that just made my day, i was rolling around laughing
Excellent! Great finish! Absolutely love that look on your face at the beginning! Thanks for sharing

You should be monumentally proud of 40th. That's incredible. Serious.
Unreal effort! Love the breakdown videos. Keep em coming.
MAJOR props to you for doing this race.
Love your content. MTB route rocks. 😂😂
Kick ass race, story, effort, narration, and luck LOL for not getting 20 flats!!
Damn your content keeps getting better and better. It's like we're in a golden age of TH-cam cycling content with you, Lanterne Rouge, nationsnumber1beast, and yes GCN. Keep it up bro!
That blk guy is Bahati. He was a crit nat'l champion back in the day. He said he got ripped to shreds by this race.
I am so glad I found your channel...how ever late to the game I might be...
Welcome. This is the friendly part of TH-cam.
30 seconds in and I had to pause and comment. Your thousand yard stare into the camera was epically awesome. Thanks Tyler. You do great work. Keep it up Bruh.
Top 40?
Congratulations congratulations!!!
The too-tired-to-talk intro...Classic!
The Canyon performed like a champ!!! That race tested every mitochondria cell in your body VC. Guess you answered the question, "what am I gonna do with all this fitness?" Well done!
Amazing to keep up that level of effort for 7 hours. Great video, as always.
Wow...this is such a cool and inspirational video really showing the full ups// downs during a brutal day of tough riding...and on a road bike! Well that is so tough i'm sure, very big congrats.

Legend nice work la x
Congrats dude. That's a great placing given the terrain - on a freakin' road bike
Long time viewer, first time commenter. This is probably my favorite video from you. It's killer.
Thanks for the support bro, glad you enjoyed the video.
The road / dirt / climbing stats and then your facial expression was the perfect precis of the day's outing. And hilarious. Good man!
I would not have ridden this sans glove though. Brave man!
@21 min and crying laughing at the commentary!!! This is what keeps me coming back to the channel!!! Excellent video and commentary
Awesome vid, prob the best I've seen of a PoV race. Great stuff!
Yo love this video. Happy you and Greg collabed binging your videos it’s honestly astonishing what you can do.
Greg is a stand up guy, his audience has been really welcoming to me dude, thanks for the support.
Boom, Eliel Factory team member 18:34 :) Nice ride, bro! Insane!!
That's insane dude! Can't even imagine how you survive the gravels with a full-on road bike without flat tires.
@irctires made that final dirt climb look so pro with the banners. Love those guys. I was in the US Military kit with you at the start. Great video, thanks!
Check out Salzkammergut trophy the A distance 210,2km with 7119meter of climbing. That is what I call one of the hardest 1 day races in the world 😁
Yes really hard because only 24.7% is road rest is gravel and trail. Heavy stuff.
Quality content, dude! What an awesome race. Bravo 👏🏽
40th out of 1,800. Well done! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
Great ride man. Those off road sections were stunning. CX in the off season will improve bike handling skills.
Wow! Incredible Have you done Crusher in Tushar? This looks amazing
Im amazed no flats on 28c o.O at least go CX 32c lol 36c front seems like a happy compromise for an enjoyable descents
This Video was more exciting than the last Episode of Game Of Thrones...Bravo
That's not saying much...any episode of the price is right, Jim Carey edition, was better than that bull shit. Fuk GOT.
Tyler, great job and effort!!! Amazing vid and Congratulations on 40th!!! That photo of you in the chair with your bike is KILLER!!! Lovin' it!!! Great Job again Bro!!!

Footage is just amazing!! It feels like we are just there with you!
Thank you so much for using metric and imperial measurements for all of us over the pond
so awesome watching you do all of our local rides!!
I think a cyclocross bike woulda been perfect for this
Swap the Crank out and WHAM!
Think I saw a Canyon Inflite near the start? A gravel bike with slick tyres might be even better.
Thanks for highlighting this amazing event. The course you rode goes by our house twice between Escondido and Ramona.

Lol i rep white socks, white shoes, white shorts. I just started training serious on the road bike and found your channel. Quality/editing are insane.
R.I.P. your arms bro. Interesting race btw. Great!
Loving the videos dude, just found your channel about a week ago and have already watched 10-20 of them so far!
What a ride! What a scenery! Holy crap You have A-class asphalt! Nicely rude Vegan Cyclist! Pushing, punishing, vanishing and suffering.. what a video! While watching this I ate pizza and ice-cream, smiled and suffered (mentally) by just watching. Up'n'down! 5/5 production, again! Thanks. :)))
who the hell gives this a thumbs down? Phenomenal video!
Oh the irony. Sounds like you should be taking your own advice.
Great job and amazing storytelling! I felt like I was there climbing with you.
8:43 man has straight bars and is keeping up
Sweet, love the addition of the rear camera! Great footage as always!!
muchlove 1000% proud of you DJFREECAN THE EX-PRO-RACER
I live in San Diego and bike in all of these places all the time, but the route missed all the fun stuff.
I feel like you really glossed over the butt pat part.
I’d definitely go with over biking on this the total time on each terrain is 50/50. Loewe chance of flats better handling, just have to use better tactics through the rod sections.
IF is a wonderful word
Excellent footage & authentic comments! 100%!
Man, I love your commentary and your channel. Excellent content.
Super stoked for all your Ventures VC. Blessings to you and your family.
Awesome channel! Seriously have to give you props for an impressive finish!
Dude, you “tumbling” down the hill at 5:38 got you another sub - hooked
So happy I found this channel! Good stuff!
Been waiting for a new VC video, and you deliver this wild ride. Congratulation on your placing, next time sure you will place higher.
Tyler... you have my upmost respect dude... that was fracking awesome... Peace from across the pond...
Come to Barry Roubaix next year in Hastings MI. Race is in April. Lots of dirt roads and gravel. Bring your warm weather gear :)
Congrats on 40th - huge effort!!!!
Impressive, riding that as well as you did on 28s. Hats off.
Next time bring a fixie bro 😂
Amazingly well edited - love the style of this race recap. Well done - and congrats on the top 50 finish!
