Thanks for each of you for sharing your heart and your life. I’m an avid cyclist, and I do it for health reasons. It’s a great time to pray friendships, all the reasons you expressed. Excited to follow your journey and I know you can do it. I don’t feel overwhelmed, because you’re a beginner, everybody’s been there and cyclists understand and want to encourage you, I’m cheering you on from Virginia
Some ppl credit their strength to a tough up bringing or hard life events, others make excuses and dwell on the events they choose to classify as negative. There are positives about anything like almost dying on the bike, some ppl enjoy that. Embrace the pain and trauma
Your challenges are so hard there is no way for any of these guys to complete with a victory. They are set up to fail. I love your show I just think they should have a challenge they actually have a chance to complete.
I disagree. Yes, it is a significant challenge, but it is also a huge learning experience. Not completing does not mean failure. No matter how far they get, they will have achieved a huge accomplishment from where they started. That’s a win in my book.
So often we get focused only on the end goal - Finishing the gravel race for example. This is about the process, the story, the journey of becoming a cyclist. They could come away saying I attempted a really hard race and didn’t finish and failed, maybe. But more importantly they will forever be able to say ‘I’m a cyclist! And I started from the ground up and you can too!’ That’s success and victory!!
Because of this show I trained for a full year for the Leadville 100. For at least 6-8 months I was convinced I couldn’t finish, but I was going to try. Making a cutoff or two would be an amazing accomplishment. I had never done a mountain bike race before and had lived with chronic pain before two hip surgeries. I kept pushing forward, training my ass off and I finished, beating my stretch goal with a time of 10:21. When you really commit, you can surprise yourself and do things that seem impossible.
Who else caught the participants being dropped off at the bike shop by the SUV that conveniently drove into and blocked the nice separated bike path at 4:30? Poor form.

That’s kinda the whole premise of the show. Keep watching to see how well this comment ages.
