Assault on Currahee Mountain - New Year, Old Legs
First race of the season finishing P7 overall. Overnight rain made the pathfinders not optimal on the descending and 3 weeks of training was not optimal for the climbing... but still pleased with how it went. Be sure to subscribe so you don't miss this season's races!

Clinching the SEG Series in my class at the Kershaw Gold Rush

A very different course compared to last year. The first gravel sector had a lot of deep and diagonal drainage ruts that caused early chaos. Fortunately, Wildlife Road was in a lot better shape this year. 1st place in age group and 5th overall at round 5 in the Southeast Gravel Series. This gets me the points to secure the overall season standings for 19-39 age group! FAQ: Bike: 2022 Trek Check...

Much better weather compared to last time. I stayed with the leaders this time until about a 1/3 of the way through when I had to back off to not blow up. I still struggled in the middle part of the race because of that, but I was able to recover for what felt like a good effort in the last third. Finished p11 overall.

I went into this race with zero course knowledge outside of looking at the elevation profile. Was reminded the hard way of why this is a bad idea! The first half of the race had the majority of the climbing in it so I pushed pretty hard. It was pretty standard gravel terrain, however after reaching the highpoint halfway through the course turned on to a really really rough descent. I was not ab...

Want to support a great cause of gifting bikes to kids? ➡ thetempoproject.org/ Something a little different in this one so let me know if you like seeing the longer video. Chaotic start, got a puncture in the first segment that sealed (thank you tubeless) and nursed it to the first aid station top it up with air.

Want to support a great cause of gifting bikes to kids? ➡ thetempoproject.org/ Very happy how I rode by being smart and not going too deep too early, but pushed it when I needed to. During the first big climb willingly dropped to join the chase group. Spent a lot of time with some really strong riders in that group for most of the course. Group split up in Pinnacle which I was happy to survive ...

Want to support a great cause of gifting bikes to kids? ➡ thetempoproject.org/ Big thanks to Ben and Southeast Gravel for the moto footage! First hot and humid race of the year and I paid for it.

1st round of the 2024 Southeast Gravel Series. 1st in 19-39 category/ non pro. 8th overall. Another wild and wet race.

    1) who is the guy with that really obnoxious flashing tail light at a gravel race wearing green? LOL 2) at 13:19, there were literally no good lines for that section and I think we all had to just ride in and out of that ditch....glad to know it wasn't just me! 3) at 15:40 when we turn left up that rock slab, the GoPro does not do it justice. Great vid as always and strong finish!

    Nice work! I did the Wafer in 5:20 this year and remember thinking at about mile 50 "I'm so glad I'm not doing the full Waffle!". That chunky stuff on Pinnacle was not fun but you did great on it! Good job on the edits, it's quite a lot of work.
