- A change of pace from my usual videos. I woke up with "THE NEED FOR SPEED". Join me on an fast ride through the back roads of Northwest Connecticut. At the end of the video we talk about the Meet and Greet with Ryan Van Duzer at Priority Bicycle in New York City. Link to a video of his presentation below. And as always, "Happy Pedaling"

LOVE THIS!!!
Hey Ryan, thanks for watching and the comment. It was a fun ride!! Have a great weekend and all the best, Steve
Love your approach to all of it, Steve! I'm still at it at 71. Hit 6K miles for the year just yesterday. Still able to hang with 20+ mph average for 60 or 70 miles with the Saturday group ride. Been riding for 40 years and have never enjoyed it so much!
Hi Rob and thanks for the comment! You are a true legend to keep up those speeds. Keep pedaling and keep enjoying. All the best, Steve
I have always been fast for my age...relatively, not elite level.
About 2 weeks ago, I met up with my 76 y.o. buddy who is a retired commercial pilot. He still rides an uber slammed carbon bike with deep section wheels. No steerer extender or riser stem. Slammed. I am 69 y.o. I go back aways with this rider and he has always been stronger...a bit stronger than me and I am a fair amount faster than most riders my age. I look in my early 50's and grew up a competitive swimmer. We rode 20 miles averaging 22 mph...no wind, me in his draft with my heart rate about 160 bps. His was around 135 bpm.
He has freakish V02 max aka heart and lung capacity. We both have resting heart rate in our 40's. I can outsprint him but he would drop me in a distance race because he has better endurance.
He trains a lot and I ride a lot as well, but the rest is in the genes. His father lived to be 106.
Ride safe.
Really enjoyed this video. I'm 71 years old. The only time I cycle at your speed is when I'm being attacked by a loose dog. There are a lot of loose dogs here in Texas. Stay safe.
Avg 17mph? That's bloody excellent Steve!😮
Hi Ted, my Garmin said 17 MPH but I forgot to pause it a few times so that threw the average off a bit. Probably a little over 17 MPH. Without splitting hairs it was a nice ride whatever the speed. Thanks again and have a great day, Steve
I admire your movies almost from one year. Each age is excelent to ride a bike. Each seson is also good to ride a bike. I see that bike is your love and passion. Thanks to your interesting bike movies I can remember English and admire your bike trips. Good luck! Greetings from Poland!
@@marekzielinski3159 Hi Marek and thank you for your comment. I appreciate your kind words and wish you all the best. Thanks again, Steve
@@steveretiredandcycling I use autopause on my garmin set for zero mph and it works well. In the past I avoided it because it autopaused at a slow speed like 3mph, which I felt was cheating. :)
I am 70 years old and I ride a Cannondale CAAD 8 I brought in 2013. Love my bike and I love to ride it. Don't count us old people out just yet just because we're old we're still getting at it. Ride on!
Hey Billy, thanks for watching and your comment! Older, wiser and yes, faster in some cases.Old guys rule! Thanks again and have a good evening, Steve
Absolutely awesome. At 47yo I have been riding for a couple years now. I hoped that I am as blessed as you are to still be riding at 70. I just found your channel and subscribed. You are an inspiration Kind Sir. You have a very good day as well.
Hi Jason and thanks for watching and subscribing! I appreciate your comment. Thanks again, Steve
I am 81 and still riding my bike , so keep at it and you will be surprised how far into your old age you can ride, .
You are just a young man now so you have many a good years ahead of you to enjoy biking.
5:03 "Make way! Make way! Ye bloody peasants! The KING cometh!"
Thanks, you made me laugh out loud!
Sending love and admiration from Chicago. Keep on pedaling Steve!!!!
Thank you for your nice comment. All the best, Steve
10:08 Beware! Steve, there's a 'hoodie' coming up from behind you!
Yeah and he probably thought I was nuts talking to a camera. He probably said "crazy old man talking to himself in the woods, better keep away"
Awesome, average speed of 17 MPH Steve. "old school rim bakes" From 2013 - they stop on a dime. Old school rim brakes 1977 - dangerous garbage. I added a suspension seat post to my road bike, softens the ride on 700x25 Gp 5000's. Rather ride a fast road bike 10 to 15 years old than a rubbish fat tire bike.
AWESOME DEAR SIR! INSPIRING! GREAT vid AMAZING ride!🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️🚴🏻♂️
Hi Rick and thanks for watching and the nice comment. It was a great ride. Thanks again and all the best, Steve
23mm tires? When a man says he is a man!
Great job 👍 im 61 years old and 17.9mph avg for 22 mi. Is my best this year , like everyone else i used to be faster and well.... Younger 😊
Hi Jim and thanks for sharing. 17.9 for 22 miles is an awesome pace. We may not be young but we are having fun. Take care, Steve
"I woke up this morning with the need for speed"
Just say no to meth, kids...this man is actually 32 years old.
That Kestrel may be good for a few of those MPHs but not without a competent rider.
Impressive!
Keep at it so we can too, you are inspirational.
Hi Frank and thanks for the comment! The plan is to put in the work so the fitness lasts as long as possible. Thanks again, Steve
Impressive Steve! I can’t imagine 30 mph, that must be exhilarating, especially with the northeast landscape passing by.
Last week we were in Pompano, Fla. We drove by the big tree that overhangs A1A, which was a stop you filmed on your ride from Key West to South Carolina. I told my wife that Steve was here, then she replied who’s Steve? She wasn’t too impressed until I told her the long journey you did on your bike. Thanks for the video
22 mph is what I heard; If the weather is good; tailwind, road bike, path is not hilly, 70, and male is alright
Your channel is excellent! It's amazing! Your video is great! The world is unparalleled! Learn from you!
Hi there and thanks for watching and the nice comment! I hope you have a great day. Thanks again, Steve
Show !!!! 👍🤩👍
Aqui Brazil 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷
Hi Roberto and thanks for watching!
Cool video, try some Continental Grand Prix 4 season tyres in 25c on those wheels. You won't regret it, Gatorskins feel dead by comparison and lack the grip that the GPs do. Puncture resistance is fantastic too
Thanks for the advice. I’ll give them a try
That yellow jacket will slow you down a bit.
Hi there and thanks for watching. Yes, the jacket is not exactly Aero but it was a cold day and I was willing to sacrifice a little speed for warmth. Thanks again and have a great day, Steve
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
Hi Steve I always watch your videos . I always look foreword to the next one David 72 years old and still cycling BOlton england😊
Hi David and thanks for watching! Nice to hear from you. Have a super day, Steve
@@steveretiredandcycling thanks waiting for the next video David god bless you and jan
Rim Brakes? Fcuk yeah!!!!!!
Hi there and thanks for all the comments! Rim brakes rule! Wish all my new bikes had them. The complex hydraulic disk are a pain to maintain. Nothing but a money grab by the bike industry. I've learned to live with them. Simple is always better. Thanks again and have a great week. All the best, Steve
Bright colors for visibility!
Safety first!
Hi Steve. Thanks for another inspiring video. Makes me want to get on a lightweight road bike to see how fast I can go. I'd be happy if I could Avg even 15 mph. Prices for road bikes in bike shops are a little too rich for my tastes. I also like being able to take in nature as I ride, so my present bike, even though it is a lot slower, is still rewarding to ride. I'm glad that you got to meet Ryan Van Duzer in person. I've seen some of his videos, and I would say he and you are some cool guys. Take care Steve
Hi again and great to hear from you. I hope you are doing well. Yes, road bike prices are ridiculous. Not to mention the price of Shimano components. I also gravitate to my slower bikes since it's not how fast we can go when out enjoying the day. It was fun though to get the dust off an old fast bike. Not something I do very often. Meeting Duzer was fun and to listen to his stories was inspiring. Thanks again and have a great weekend, Steve
I appreciate the video. I (68) don't like bumps and I don't like carbon. So I go for 1.95x 26"tires on my steel 80s MTB.
Hi Steve and thank you for the comment! "Steel is real" Sounds like a great bike. All the best, Steve
This great Steve. I haven't been on my bike is 3 months .I have back issues , Spinal Stenosis. I have had 3 injections. I am better but still may have surgery .I stated back riding on January the 4th. I got out for about 7 miles about 32 minutes. When I was riding regularly ,I would go out and do about 30 miles or about a 100 miles a week. It really feels great to be backout on the bike ,except for my backside which need to get reconditioned to the saddle! I love my rode bike !
Hi Greg and thank you for your comment! I hope your back issues are sorted out soon. Riding your bike is great therapy as long as it does not make your back problem worse. Thanks again and have a great day, Steve
Heck yeah!! Im planning to ride as long as i can just as yourself. Im in my mid-50's and pedal slamming my road bike every day of the week. This year i was fortunate enough to ride with some friends in Germany. They are 20 years younger, and were surprised when i kept up with them on their own turf! Its a great motivator to share riding with those younger than me and those who may 'have a few years on me'. Glad i found your channel
Hi there and thanks for watching! Thanks for sharing, you are a true legend! Keep on pedaling, Steve
Steve, you're awesome and inspiring! I'm 41 and refuse to ever stop riding. I hope to be as awesome as you are in 30 years! Cheers and keep riding!
Hi Brett and thank you for your nice comment! Have a great weekend and never stop pedaling. All the best, Steve
I'm 75 ish and being I don't have the need for speed I ride a mountain bike aka MTB :-) I enjoy nature rides, exploring and making youtube videos of my rides.
That is awesome! Thanks for your comment. Take care, Steve
Kudo's I still ride at 76, 2 new knees, new rt shoulder and fused SI joint, would go crazy if I couldn't, enjoy the ride
Hi there and thanks for sharing. Sounds like you are the bionic man. Whatever it takes! Thanks for the comment, Steve
Ride till you can no longer get on and safely balance...why not....Just no longer on roads. With so many utter idiots driving these days, I made a personal choice...no more road cycling. I salute you for maintaining that form of cycling, but too many close calls at a similar age has made me reconsider what the literal impact hitting the ground would be like, and no, I am not scared, just not into challenging vehicles. May I add, this decision was not arrived at by my own errors while cycling on everyday roads. Stay safe..I'll be on a path or similar type place, but not on a main road...A mountain bike, a converted road bike, and an electric bike have replaced my lovely road bikes....Ride on all...be safe out there.
Hi there and thanks for sharing your thoughts. You have a lot of wisdom from your riding career. Thanks again and stay safe. Steve
Steve, Izzy here in Pennsylvania. Great video! I use to ride fast on a road bike. Now I ride like you for the joy, fun and exploration on my gravel bike. 👍
Hi Izzy and thanks for your comment! Fast is fun but slow lets you relax and enjoy the surroundings. Have a great day, Steve
Amazing, im 72, ive chucked the bike shoes and skinny tires, 23 cm! Got to avoid the cracks , wider is not that much slower. You still look like an elite cyclist
Thanks for your comment. Have a great day, Steve
Great content Steve subscribed too from South Wales in the UK keep the videos coming.
Hi Jeff and thanks for subscribing! Thanks so much for the comment, Steve
I’m 77 and lead club fitness rides 22 - 35 miles with 3 80 year olds and a lot of retired folks 3-4 days a week usually.
Hi there and thanks for your comment! Sounds like you have a great group of riders! Thanks again and have a great day, Steve
Great ride, Steve. I took up cycling 5 yrs ago, I’m 61 now. Try to do 100K a week. The bike is on the trainer in the basement for the winter, here is Southern Ontario.
Hey BJ, thanks for your comment. 100k a week is a great routine. Winter will be over before we know it. Keep on pedaling and all the best, Steve
I know East and West River Road very well. I wonder if we have ever crossed paths in the past.
Keep the pedal’s turning Steve.
Hi there and thanks for watching. I'm sure we've crossed paths over the years. It's a beautiful ride. Thanks again and have a great day, Steve
Sjeez 70 years old and still the 20mph plus, incredible
Hi there and thanks for watching! It was a fun ride. Thanks again and have a great day, Steve
I miss cycling on 700x18 . Fun video thanks
Hey Edward, I know what you mean. I still have a Fuji Opus 3 with sew-ups. Very fast! Thanks and have a great day, Steve
Well done Steve. You’re an inspiration. I’m 62.
Thanks Mr Mike!
I see your tarmac is potholed just like the UK only difference is we have hundreds of cars jamming every road and the motorways are rammed solid.
Hi Ronnie, thanks for watching and the comment. Good roads don't seem to be a priority in our countries. We are making the best of it though. Thanks again and happy pedaling, Steve
I enjoyed your biking as if im at your back riding with you , stay safe always...
Thanks, you too!
Zip tie on inner tube? is that a Good idea? Rubber band i think imho is a better choice. As always Ride Safely
Hi there and thank you for your observation. You are very correct. A zip tie is a bad choice for an inner tube. I was in a hurry to pack things for the ride and didn’t have any elastic bands. So I grabbed a zip tie. Fortunately I didn’t have a flat on the ride. Otherwise I would have had to risk damaging the tube by cutting the zip tie with my knife. Should have grabbed some tape instead. Thanks for noticing. Thanks and have a good week. Steve
Have you ever ridden with Dave (aka Old Man On A Bike), I believe he is in CT also and rides a Priority.
Hi Larry, Dave and I have not been able to connect yet. Maybe next summer. Thanks and have a great day, Steve
Nice ride, I like your stem riser,more comfort? ,thanks the inspiration ❤
Hi Britt and thanks for watching. Yes, the riser gives me a more comfortable ride at the cost of a little more wind resistance. I'm not racing so I choose comfort over speed. Thanks again and have a great day, Steve
Great average Steve. Nice country. Where are what looks like flat roads
Hi there and thanks for the comment! I live in a beautiful area and by comparison the road I was on is relatively flat compared to the many hills we have in Northwest Connecticut. Thanks again and all the best, Steve
😊You are a inspiration steve,keep those peddles spinning, lovely video .
Hi Robert and thanks for your comment! take care, Steve
Thanks for sharing this fun and scenic ride, Steve! Very interesting about the place that makes trikes for veterans!
Hi again Elizabeth. It was a great ride. The company that makes the Trikes is called Ti-Trikes located in Barkhamsted, CT www.ti-trikes.com Have a great day, Steve
Great video Steve. Really enjoy all of your videos. Average of 17 MPH is really moving. Well done.
Hi Kevin and thanks for watching and the comment! It was a great day for a ride, Thanks again, Steve
nice video i am 60 and ride every day.....here's to the older folks...see you out there
Thanks Chuck! Have a great day, Steve
If I tried this, I'd need to pack a defibrillator,...
Hi again and thanks for watching. I’ve been riding for so many years that it comes easier than if I just started in my senior years. Take care and all the best, Steve
do u sweat whie cycling those distances?? im 50 ive noticed i no longer sweat like when i was 30
Hi there and thanks for the question. I do sweat while cycling. However not nearly as much as when I was 30. Part of the ageing process. Thanks again and have a great day, Steve
Where do you ride Steve?....very nice road & scenery .....
That ride was in NW Connecticut in Riverton. Beautiful roads and not much traffic. Thanks again and have a great day, Steve
I thought that area looked familiar so I looked it up on the map. You probably know this already, but the Adventure Cycling Atlantic Coast route goes right through Pleasant Valley, CT, and I remember it well from my cross-country ride back in 2007 from San Francisco to Boston. You probably have seen a few touring cyclists on the roads around there every once in a while. As far as the need for speed, I agree with you. I ride daily on my "beater bike", an old Diamondback hybrid with fat tires, comfy seat, and rear rack, but every once in a while I feel the need to crank it up a notch and go for Strava PRs on a 20-pound Cannondale Synapse road bike that sits in the garage mainly unused.
Hi John and thanks for watching and the comment. Yes I do see the occasional bicycle tourist cycling through the area. It's a beautiful place to ride. Thanks again and have a great day, Steve
What a beautiful part of the world. 👍 🦘🦘🦘🦘🦘
Hi Robyn and thanks for watching. It is a beautiful area. Have a great day, Steve
Fantastic Buddy ! You are my Hero! 😊
Thank you so much 😀
Strong pop
Nice done
Hi Steve greetings from the UK English Lake District, fairly similar colour trees here at this time of the year, l've gone soft bought a road ebike, I'm 74 but still ride my standard bike some times, love the ebike. Had a heart by pass 6 years ago don't want to ride to hard just in case the stitches come loose just joking 😊
The Lake District is considerably hillier than the terrain in the video. I’d definitely need an e-bike there.
Hi Jain and thanks for watching and the comment! Ebikes are great. I may review one in the near future. Take care and all the best, Steve
Good job congratulations🚴☕️👌
Thanks Johnny!
I hope i can still ride at your age too, this is awesome 😎
I hope so too!
What model of infinity saddle did you get?
Hi Vick, All three of my Infinity bike seats are the E3 models. Wouldn't ride anything else. Thanks and have a great day, Steve
Hi, thak you for sharing - By Brasil
Hi Gilmar and thanks for watching and your comment! You have a beautiful country. Haven't been there in 10 years, however I enjoyed my time in Sao Paulo and Manaus. Have a great week and all the best, Steve
Top job. Lovely autumn colours 😁
Thank you! Cheers Ian!
Thank you for taking us along!
Thank you for joining me on the ride! All the best, Steve
Need for speed: I like that! 👍
Thanks Thomas. I hope all is well with you. Take care and have a great day, Steve
Wow Steve ! Glad to see you still doing good ! I ride on 28mm but slicks very light but very sketchy on wet roads at high speeds haha
Hi Mj and thanks for watching! The old HED wheels are rated for 21mm but I still run 23mm to get the aero effect. Very stiff ride but fast (for me). Take care and have a great day, Steve
Hey Steve, that Kestrel is a nice bike, I have a friend that rides one. The ride you did brings back memories, I put in many miles up in that area, I've been riding up to that area since the 1970s, it's a very peaceful ride. Thanks for the video.
Hi Doug, I hope your doing well and the knee is progressing. Have a great day and all the best, Steve
Ridding that bike to bingo?
Hi Porkchop, Yes I am and I will get there before you! Have a great day, Steve
I love watching your videos and they never fail to put a smile on my face. I hope this is me in another ten years. Love the bike btw :)
Hi Jay, good to hear from you. Thanks for the comment. I hope all is well with you. Take care
17 avg. is a good clip for any age! I mostly ride road as fast as I can. I ride alone and this makes the effort harder without other people to draft! I am a 60 year old and on a good day I ride 17.5-18 avg. Of course this depends on the route and hills, most rides include 1,000+ feet of climbing. Nothing compares to going fast on a bicycle! It's as close to flying under your own power as you'll get! Keep up the great work! Your an inspiration!!
Hi there and thank you for watching and the comment. I totally agree about speeding along on a road bike. It's a wonderful feeling. Thanks again and keep pedaling, Steve
Nice job Steve!
Thanks Brian!
Amazing
Thank you! Cheers!
59 here. I love speed. Faster the better. I ditched my road bike for a hybrid for comfort and never looked back. I have 700c x 38c on my hybrid and it's just as fast as my roadie that had 700 x 28c. I ride 8 miles every day as fast as I can on the flats. Average speed 19mph/29kph.
Hi there and thanks for watching and your comment! Sounds like you have a good setup for speed! Keep pedaling and all the best, Steve
Nice Vlog :)
Thank you 😊
I can't remember how many years it's been since I rode 23s. A LONG time ago. I rode Michelin Axial Pro 25s for many years, but I haven't ridden anything narrower than 30, even on my full carbon road bike, for a decade or so.
Hi Joe and thanks for watching. The bike is almost 11 years old and the old HED aero wheels are rated to perform beast with 21mm tires. They do okay with 23's. Not a very supple ride. But a fun ride. Thanks again and have a good day, Steve
You are some character :o) ... I'm 72 and a road cyclist...can never find anyone in my age group to ride with, much less to tour with...I get a great deal of vicarious enjoyment watching your post...keep it up...and happy trails...
Hi there and thanks for watching. I appreciate your comment. Have an awesome day, Steve
Inspiring video. Do you have any tips for staying warm? I have trouble making myself get out on the bike when it’s below 60°F. I have room to stow only one very thin layer.
Also, I’d love to know more about your camera and how it’s mounted while you’re filming.
Hi Jain and thanks for watching. I dress in layers and use full fingered gloves when its below 55F. A very lightweight small backpack is useful to stow extra clothes. I use two cameras on most of my rides. A DJI Osmo 4 action camera either mounted on my handlebars, neck mount as you see in this video or handheld on a selfie stick. My second camera is a Sony ZV-1 point and shoot camera. I use this camera for video off the bike although I'm finding that I use the DJI for most everything since it's light and easier to use. An iphone also makes a great camera since the technology has improved. Thanks again and have a great day, Steve
Steve, you crack me up!! Love the ride and you inspire me every time I watch one of your videos...I forgot to ask you, will you ever ride in a RAGBRAI?
Hi again Amy and great to hear from you! I hope all is well. I am seriously considering RAGBRAI in 2024. Looked at their website and opened an account. Looking at my schedule today. Did you ride it this year? Let me know about your experience. Thanks again Amy and have a super day, Steve
Great ride and video, Steve. Came across your century video, and I've ridden that path many times. I'm from Easthampton, Ma. At 77, I don't do the long rides any longer, spend my time going up hill. A faster form of a workout and I live in a hilly area. I recently put my old Mavic wheel set, with Tufo Tubulars , to ride for the remainder of the season. Those are 20mm ! So much fun . Thanks. KB
Hi Ken and thanks for watching. I also have a set of old Mavic's with Continental Tubulars. Mounted on my Fuji Opus 3. I need to take that bike out for a spin. Thanks again and happy cycling, Steve
Awesome Steve! Beautiful scenery! 70yr old rider in Nevada. Love riding…
Glad you enjoyed it Christopher. Have a great day, Steve
The bicycle is one of man’s greatest inventions ..Im71 do the gym everyday and cycle a lot too in the day. Blood pressure has dropped over the years and sleep better…
Hi there and I totally agree. Since I started serious exercise 13 years ago, my blood pressure has also dropped along with my other vitals. The bicycle can be a lifesaver. Thanks for the comment and all the best, Steve
Thank you for sharing your biking experience. Really enjoyed following you. David R
Hi David and thanks for watching! Enjoy your day, Steve
Hello Steve , how long do you ride ? it seems so easy for you . Whouaou !!! I hope to do as well as you Steve . 👋🏻 from France
Hi Nico and thanks for watching. This ride was a short 10 Miles (16 Km). It was a nice easy ride. Thanks again and have a great day, Steve
Suggest strobe light on the ftont: I live in a community dominated by retirees and there have been many times when I approach an intersection that they just do NOT "see me". Has not happened since I added a strobe light on the handle bars>
Hi there and thanks for your comment. I always ride with a "blinking" white light on the front of my bicycles. Started that habit years ago when someone coming toward me on a bike trail wasn't paying attention and we almost had a head on collision. And as you mentioned, some older (and younger) drivers seem blind to bicycles. Thanks again and all the best, Steve
Beautiful Fall scenery, and 17 is impressive. I’m enjoying your videos.
Hi Kim and thanks for watching! It was a beautiful day for a ride. Thanks again, Steve
I enjoyed your video, I'm increasing my speed, but I don't have a road bike, as the streets in my city in Brazil have lots of potholes. I had one and had lots of flats, so I traded mine for a mountain bike. I can't reach those speeds, but I am trying my best to get there. Best regards.
Hey Maurice and great to hear from you! I can't get near those speeds on my mountain bike either. Thanks again and have a great day, Steve
As my dad would say, "watch out for those wet leaves, they can be slippery!" 🍃 🍂 🍁
Hi Kathryn and thanks for watching! Your dad's words are so true. Thanks again and have a great day, Steve
Sadly my overall ride "average" is 10mph and that's all my knees want to do. lol Nice area to ride Steve.
Hi Tony, I hope you're having a great day! Wish I was in Texas today. Its getting cold up here in CT. Take care, Steve
Need for speed is a yes. Rural Vermont isn't the area for a road bike. Nice bike. Thanks for the video and take care, Al
Hi Al and thanks again. Love my old road bike. Hope all is well. Thanks again, Steve
I swore I'd never own another van after our 5 kids grew up, but that would make an awesome bike hauler.
Hi Joe and thanks for the comment. I bought the vehicle because of the lay flat seats that fold into the floor. I roll our bikes in with no problem. Great ride too. Thanks again, Steve
What a fun ride, Steve. That was a great picture of you and Ryan. Since we are supposedly going to have warmer than avg temps this winter because of El Niño, I am going to try to ride all winter. I have the gear, lets get these bones on the bike and ride cyclist 🚴
Hi again and nice to hear from you! This was a fun ride and hopefully we will have a mild winter. Thanks again and all the best, Steve
Hey, just found your channel and very much enjoyed your video......
@@davlddemarest2626 Hey Davld, thanks for watching! Have a great day, Steve
Brilliant video, thanks for sharing it with us. You went a lot faster than I ever do. You have some wonderful scenery there
Hi Rob and thanks for watching! It was a great day for a ride. Thanks again and all the best, Steve
Which country is this
Hi there. This was in the USA in the state of Connecticut
It’s the United States. Thanks for watching and have a good day, Steve
Great ride! I saw you during the Duzer prez. That looked like a lot of fun.
Hi JoAnn thanks for watching and nice to hear from you! Ryan put on a great presentation didn't he. It was a great ride. Thanks again, Steve
You’re a hero! 🚴💪🏻☺️👏🏻Gatorskins are neither fast nor supple but I see you ride on some pretty choppy asphalt so I get it. 😉
Hi Victor, you're correct. The Gatorskins are durable but heavy and stiff. Thanks for the nice comment. Have a great weekend, Steve
@@steveretiredandcycling I used them for a year myself, after shredding the “stock” Bontrager R1s that my Trek came with after 2500 miles. Gatorskins are certainly commendable for their durability, they’re just not terribly enjoyable to ride on IMHO - and a torture to pull off the rims if you get a flat on the road. While punctures are rare, no tire is immune to pinch flats.
you are a real inspiration. the video is great and the area you cycle in is amazing. thanks for sharing.
Hi Reid and thanks for watching! I appreciate your comment, Take care, Steve
Go Steve! Go Steve! Thanks for sharing the fun.
Thanks Jim!
