Was This The PERFECT Gravel Race Course For RACING?
I raced the Rattlesnake Gravel Grinder in Sweetwater Texas and out of all the courses Ive raced, this may just be the best! In this gravel race breakdown I explain what makes a great race course, I walk you through my race, and attempt to make an argument that HARDER DOESN'T MEAN BETTER.

TOO FAST TOO EXCUSES - Stage 3 of the Tucson Bicycle Classic 6 Days In Arizona (ep. 6of 6)
zhlédnutí 33KPřed 28 dny
In this episode of the six days in Arizona mini Vlog series, we go through the final stage of the Tucson bicycle classic. It was an extremely fast circuit race that had a decent little climb at the start finish line and some really tight turns caused havoc for me. I tried to explain why I erased in a division that was above my pay grade, talk about the connection with my son on this trip, and r...

This road race started faster than any race I’ve ever done and I felt like I was breathing through my butt hole from the gun. I did my best to stay with the group to make the time cut.

      I only had 3 days at 8-9k ft before the trip. My son turned 13 and instead of acclimating for this trip, I spent 2 weeks with my son on a massive boys trip riding dirt bikes all over the west coast. I payed dearly for that, but wouldn’t change a thing. I let JB know ahead of time that I was gonna be slow and hurting, he did not care 😂

    You will one day stand before God and answer for everything you have done. How will you do on that day? Here's a quick test: Have you ever lied? Have you ever stolen anything? Have you used God's name in vain? Have you ever looked at someone with lust? Have you had sex outside of marriage? Have you ever had, or been involved in, an abortion? Will you be guilty on Judgment Day? If you have done these things, God sees you as a lying, thieving, fornicating, blasphemer, adulterer at heart, and murderer, and the Bible warns that God will punish you in a terrible place called the lake of fire: Revelation 21:8: "But the fearful, and unbelieving, and the abominable, and murderers, and whoremongers, and sorcerers, and idolaters, and all liars, shall have their part in the lake which burneth with fire and brimstone: which is the second death." Yet God, who is "...rich in mercy,..." sent His Son the Lord Jesus Christ to suffer and die on the cross for all guilty sinners. We broke God's law and the Lord Jesus Christ paid our fine. That means God can legally dismiss our case and He can commute our death sentence. John 3:16: "For God so loved the world that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish but have everlasting life." Then the Lord Jesus Christ rose from the dead and defeated death. Please, repent of your sins and trust in the Lord Jesus Christ as Savior, and God will give you eternal life as a free gift: Ephesians 2:8-9: "For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast." John 14:6: "Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me."

      This may sound like an excuse, but the facts are the facts. Content and story is pretty much all I’m thinking about in the moment. And I believe that this does hinder my results and performance, but results are not my job, telling the story is. There is only one race I ever did where I didn’t bring a camera and focused on was the race. It was the only time I ever got on the podium in a full on pro road race. It was one of the most hardest and grueling Norcal road races and I ended up getting third. I have no footage to show that cool story, but it did happen, lol.😂
