Thanks for covering this race with great race commentary and general cycling commentary. I did like seeing your name as one of the riders during the race.
Hey Don, I had someone ask me out of the blue, if I ever got to see your Angus Young picture that you took back in the early 90's??? If you have one you could email to me that would be great emersoncolin@gmail.com
Hi Peter, thanks for dropping a comment. Good to know 1.5x looks okay, hard to know what it will look like. Hope I was able to set a decent pace for you. I think I ride steadily, no real attacks, just find a zone a stick there
Nice video Colin. I was wondering, does it actually help your channel if we watch the adds in full rather than hit "skip" when it pops on? Just had a Quadlock video pop up in the middle of this that's all. keep up the good work!
Neil what a great question, which I didn't know the answer for, so I did some research. If you quickly skip those ads(which we all do) then they youtuber gets nothing. Some ads are non-skippable(20-30seconds) so the youtube creator would receive something from that. If you click on the ad that pops up, then they also get paid. So YES it really helps if you can tolerate a few ads. This is why it takes huge volumes of views to make any $, since most of my videos don't get a ton of attention, any ad view is important. I actually don't even know what ads show up but I think it's kind of cool that a Quadlock ad would show up. I know people get curious and wonder, how much do you make? Me? Lately about $1/day, kind of sad really....😢
@@insidecyclingworld no worries, let’s get everyone clicking on the links as well and see if we can bump you up so you can get some better rope to secure your donkeys! 😏

Great to see you back in the race. It’s clear donkey chasing has kept you in shape!
Thanks Brian, good to be out there riding with everyone. We had quite a nice group at the finish.

Hey Don, so awesome to see you back on the roads of ROUVY with us. I just saw your name pop up out of nowhere.

@@insidecyclingworld I don't think so, but I will send it to your email.
@@donbracci2199 Thanks Don, really appreciate it.
Colin, good to see you in the race. Great commentary as always! The 150% speed adjustment seemed like actual race pace. Lol
Another great ride Chad, strong as usual. I sped it up after I had to re-start all my commentary after about 20 minutes, had to get it done.
I like the 150% speed. I can imagine sometimes the regular speed can be good, not this works well in this video.
Thanks for the feedback Dainon, I am going to stick with it going forward
Good comment and it's great that you took part in the race Colin.💪👏👍
Thank you, fun to join in and try to keep up. Racing really pushes you hard.
1.5x works good, shortens the time but looks fine. I had you as one of my ghost riders on the Colle Monte delle Forche route prior to this 😅
