- BWR CA is one of those races that always produces a worthy winner, although to get there - it typically takes some luck considering how underbiked we are at times on the course!
Alexey came in San Diego with some confidence after Sea Otter and looking to try and win one of his favorite races again, but came up a tad short with the South African Strong man, Matt Beers making the solo win look easy!

I have no idea how much you have to pay Lickd for real songs, but it's worth it. The tunes were great and are so much better than some of these awful generic soundtracks these other guys are putting in their videos
💯 such a breath of fresh air not listening to terrible free music
Its coming out of my retirement fund, but I agree, worth every penny to see these comments. - Avery😉
INSANELY well done video! Love your authenticity, and your racing is incredible so far this year. A few of the more impressive 2nd places I've seen in quite some time! Let's GOOOOOOO 🤙
Appreciate the kind words! Thanks for watching!
Well shot and cool tunes…
Video quality rivaling Call of a Lifetime 🤔👌
Excellent video and love real music!
Call of two dorks 😁
Love your race recaps and behind the scenes. As someone looking forward to their first ever race later in the summer this helps with knowledge, inspiration, and motivation! Outstanding storytelling, cinematography and music 11/10
Thats amazing. So glad we can help. Let us know if you want something covered in our videos! - Avery
@@alexeyandavery Thanks so much! I am always interested to see even more behind the scenes - Gym work to help with on-the-bike fitness and how to figure out race nutrition would be two topics I'd love to hear more about if it ever made sense to cover. More about this "rice and eggs" mess haha.
So fun to watch! “It’s like build a bear for bikes” I think you are on to something!
Post career ideas
It never gets old watching these amazing videos of the area that's literally in my back yard! And to watch you fly on the same course I slog on hours after y'all is kewl!
We slog too - just a little faster :)
Your guys filmmaking is truly exceptional and inspirational. Thanks for the recap!
Thanks so much! - Avery
I'm becoming a big Alexey fan!
And Avery - couldn't do it without him!
this vid is so good. it's crazy how capable the Melee is, especially with Alexey on it!
It is incredibly capable...I might push it to its limits though
Great back view of this amazing ride!
Matt was next level here, but his got an engine, I remember the first ever Gravel Worlds, and there he was in the break, with world tour riders. Nothing but respect for a guy sacrificing everything to go race in the States and handing out an ass whipping to all the top flights names! And there was Dylan saying last year sometime …. In A race review…. that guy in the Toyota kit! 😂😂😂. Love it.
Thanks! Matt is unreal strong, he deserved it on the day! Glad you enjoyed watching!
great job, love watchin' these videos
Thanks, Brian!
I got lucky and met Alexey with Mason(a pro from Clif bar). I even rode with him for 350 yards before the start….i said before the start. Super cool guy. Hope he crushes it all.
Thats about as long as I ride with him too! - Avery
Great content, love the combo of funny/personality, and crushing it on the bike.
Thanks Lucas!
Really enjoy this perspective. Very entertaining video. Great racing!
Thanks, Stephen!
Amazing job man!! Those power numbers are mind blowing.
A little too much for me - Alexey
Excellent video and good racing!! Thanks for sharing your story.
Thanks for watching!
Well done with the race and video! Keep crushing it 🚴
Thank you!!
Great race. Fantastic video. Thanks for sharing your unique perspective. Very few can tell the story that you just told. We appreciate it.
Thanks for watching, bike racing is usually more interesting that just who wins.
Good work fellas. 👌
Thank you!
Great video! Music choice on point and storytelling next level. Bravo!
All credit to Avery...
Avery must be a fifa player 🤔
@@EMBIKES Try again ha!
Another solid effort.
Thank you!
Awesome 👌
Thanks, Kyle!
You were really *waffling* between which bike to use this race ;) Neruda has a future as a sports commentator! great work fellas
Love the puns, keep them coming :) Thanks Brandilee!
Music on point!
YAS
Well done again, dudes!
Thanks, Casey!
Good Work
Thanks!
Excellent video, guys. I'm so bummed BWR Kansas is history.
Banger as always
Thank you!
Super great video! Full bike check next time?
Maybe we should put that in after every race.. Thank you for the feedback! - Avery
Love it! What bike bags do y'all fly with?
For the integrated handlebars we use Scicon Aero Comfort 3.0 bags, for mtb and non integrated bikes we use EVOC PRO bags
DANG. This explains the Sidecar Donuts thing... 😢 next time.
Next time, next time
Cool meeting you at Big Sugar last year....hope to see you again. Question. What size Mog are you rolling on? Stem?
Thanks dude and congrats to a great start this year!!
Thanks! Im currently running a 54cm MOG with a 100mm stem. Im 5'10 with a 32 inseam
@@alexeyandavery Thanks so much Alexey!! You knew exactly what I was asking. I am prob going to go with a 52 and 90mm stem, 5'.7. ish. :). See you at UnBound and Big Sugar!
I wish my race prep was this good, it's more like SHIT! I should have trained for this!!
ha! Sometimes it feels like that
Great video! I averaged 14.1 mph: lot slower than you guys. What tires are those? 35mm?
Yeah, Kenda 4titude tires! I was just chasing Matt!
“I don’t have my big wiener here” is probably the funniest quote I’ve heard from a cyclist. 😂
hahaha, I was stoked that Avery left that in
What sunscreen is that?
WTHR! About to launch officially, love this stuff! wthrskincare.com/products/spf-50-sun-stick
Everybody worries about Aerogains and integration but then they zip tie a parachute on to the steerer tube 😂😂😂
The price of racing :)
Neruda, you're supposed to wait until the race to crash out.
Shots fired!
What tires were you running?
Kenda 4Titude's! Same I have run for 3 years now!
Nearly fell off the trainer at the “Airplane” bit.
That was my goal 😂 - Avery
Mybe you can imagine being solo out front. Stop letting them slip away 👋
Sometimes easier said then done :)
The gap was down to 20 seconds on Double Peak. So close... th-cam.com/video/UQpW6-9AbLw/w-d-xo.html
Woah! Closer than I thought!
Sometimes nice guys finish second behind other nice guys. Way to hang!
Thanks!
Alexey you didn’t win because the distance is 119 miles and not 136
I tried telling him..
First
Ehhh, not if I delete this comment
congratulations, nice video! when are you coming to Italy in the Dolomites? 🏔️
Hopefully sometime soon!
@@alexeyandavery I'll wait you with the Mog 🚀
