    Managed to hang on just long enough to make the 5 man selection at the top of the first climb. Stayed with them until being dropped on Pinnacle Mtn Road. Caught 4th place later on the descent and caught 3rd just before the final singletrack section but had no hope of hanging on with him down it.

    Amazing ride! I have a gravel I use mostly as a road bike but this video has motivated me to find some gravel trails in my area and give it a go.
    Thanks for sharing the awesome footage and for being such a polite and respectful rider to others on the trail! I’ve subscribed!

    I’ve watched a hundred of these races and this is the finest footage I’ve ever seen. If I had 3D glasses, it would’ve been like I was doing the riding. 😆

    Awesome ride! Had some PTSD seeing the Pinnacle Mtn Road segment, but without having to do the stretch from Tryon before, it looks much more manageable! Going to have to add this to my list of rides to consider when driving down to visit the in-laws!

    Nicely done… but you could have been taken out pretty early when they guy in front of you cut the corner a tad too tight. Otherwise damn you spent a long time chasing and riding by yourself which of course burnt those candles needed for that nasty
    Last climb. You downhiller so well to catch that dude, should have attacked him so his also tired for the final climb. In your situation you had some options to try podium, I liked this video… it reminds me of the road racing tactics I’ve had to deploy in my fresher days, which was handy especially soul searching in no man’s land. Lovely course and thanks again for taking me along. Well Done, great result which you really had to work. You edging closer and closer… I forsee a podium in the future. You ride Nationals by any chance?

    Nice job! Remember some of those segments from BWR. How do you get your battery to last that long? I get about 90 minutes with my Gopro 9. Thx

    • @AlexRunge53
      @AlexRunge53  9 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Thanks! I selectively turn the camera on and off during the race to make it last. Sometimes I will bring another battery to swap as well.
