This even makes me hurt. If possible, you should do a video, going over all your gear. PS. You should put something on the screen showing race date, temperature, and condition of course.
I’ve used the Challenge Chicane on this course and fast dry courses before but don’t feel like they hook up enough on the turns. I just go with the classic Grifo for all dry terrain now.
CX just looks brutal. How hard long does it take you to get use to those surges (they usually chop me up pretty bad in crits and these look way worse)?
what a relief, CX season is back which means drew films :), btw always listen to your wife, question for you since this was a UCI race how are you able to show race footage? i know they "claim" video footage from DH etc. GCN's coverage was annoying this year with the rambling pointless commentary, i was waiting for you to post this, looking forward to the next one :)
Cross is here
That’s right!
YES! It's CX season again, what a relief.
Good result and shout out to our young camera men!
Thanks!
Dylan Johnson doesn't stand a chance.
You know what’s up.
There’s a reason DJ won’t go to BWR Mexico… scared 😳
dylan who?!?
Big Daddy Watts! cool vid
No 47mm Pathfinders here!
Or ever.
You know your in a bad place mentally when you hope they pull you!! Then you find the heart to pass that guy on the last lap!! Nice race!
Yea. I was in a bad place this day. Haha. Just went backwards all day.
Awesome!
No beer handups?
Son, I are disappoint.
Nice race Dizzle, better get on those intervals!
That’s right!
That was a rad course. Could use a bit of water, though. :)
Wait for Day 2.
Hotness
first 3 minutes looked like grass crit!
Course looked blazing fast.
Yea. Pretty fast. Not much recovery.

Yes. Good ideas.
@@DrewDillmanChannel Sponsors would probably like the idea.
See you at charm city!
Its like you were waiting for last lap to fire up
I was but then it never really came. Haha.
Very Cool! I am interested in what kind of speeds did you hit on the course? It looked fast!!
Not sure exact speeds but it was definitely a fast one.
I could taste the blood in the back of my throat from that crazy fast start, haha
Yes. Me too. Haha
Hey, would it have been the move to use filetreads on this kinda course?
I’ve used the Challenge Chicane on this course and fast dry courses before but don’t feel like they hook up enough on the turns. I just go with the classic Grifo for all dry terrain now.
@@DrewDillmanChannel- tubulars, or tubeless (with inserts?)?
@dacsailor tubeless no inserts for dry. Tubular for mud.
CX just looks brutal. How hard long does it take you to get use to those surges (they usually chop me up pretty bad in crits and these look way worse)?
Cross races are more sustained efforts so it hurts the entire time. Crits have higher peaks though so it hurts more for shorter periods.
DAD WATTS FTW
I heard some “dad watt” shouts out there. Haha.
Is that the same bike as gravel nationals?
Yes. Specialized Crux. Just swapped out the derailleur, chain and wheels. Not too hard to do with AXS.
Drew why no race commentary ?? I think it would open up your audience to a lot more viewers. Ya know strategy, training, what to do in hot races..
Is this a cross-course? Looks more like a grass crit. Still looks insanely fast and tough, but doesn''t have the cross feel to me.
Wait for Day 2 video

They changed the rule last year so you can race with a camera. All in all it grows the sport. Hopefully they realized that.
@@DrewDillmanChannel oh that's good news .
