My BEST Gravel Race Result! (Gravel Locos Race Recap)

- The Gravel Locos gravel race is a FREE gravel race in HICO, TX. Some of the biggest hitters in cycling showed up in both male and female categories. Laurens Tan Dem showed up in preparation for Unbound so you know this race is gonna be fast.
I daily vlogged my time in Texas preparing for the event, and the family and I had a blast. But for race day, I was as focused as could be. I didn’t expect much from this gravel race as I’m still recovering from a broken greater trochanter of my femur, so I tried to just hang on and suck wheels.
Gravel racing is usually long distance on multi surface roads with basically a road bike but with fatter tires. This gravel Locos race was 150 miles, 250 kms and took the winner 7 hours to finish.

That mountain biker kid hanging with the pros is the real winner.
Thank you 😊 That’s our son, Dylan Schlageter! He’s vegan, 16 and was stoked to ride with the VC and his other favorite pros!
@@mikeandlisaschlageter1590 this is sick!! 🤟🏾
@@mikeandlisaschlageter1590 that's awesome, vegan and racing
@@fritz2934 Thank you!
@@52daytripper Thanks so much, he's been vegan for a year, and inspired by the Vegan Cyclist.
VC still playing like he is not a heavy hitter… congrats man definitely deserved
Dude trains like a pro but then goes on like hes just a noob..its kinda funny
@@DublinDapper he has tons of humility.
For real! Top 10 with this lineup and you should know you belong there now!
What an awesome video and performance
@@DublinDapper correct back in 2017 I up my cycling by 3hr a week and that made a massive difference
the " i mount it on my wall" caught me off guard, had a fat giggle
Yeah, that cracked me up too :D
“Do a skid” lmao! Between that and Ted Kings thumb on the mantle... so solid of a watch!
I agree
"I sorta felt like I was overkill on my tires" "I actually felt really good with my bike handling skills...I usually don't" - I think these might be related!
"I grab some E.P.O." 11:47 Hahaha - Thug-life, Tour-life!
Congratulations and loved your commentary and humor on this...."We get to the 2nd rest stop...I grab some epo..."
I caught that the epo I was like bahaa
The heavy hitters club will definitely get the EPO comment. Great job on your finish! Nice video
😂😂😂
“That guy in the brown” everyone was brown at that point😂
Dude was living in the future!
That was my thought too 😂
Dude thanks for the shoutout, really enjoyed those last few hours with you guys. Let's go get that top 5 next year!
Bro, that bit about DJ trying to catch a glimpse of C-money’s kibbles and bit was funny AF.
Almost as legit as you trying to murk that shrub in Death Valley
LOL
Trying to bridge with a guy named Chase.., almost poetic. Great film, great ride.
Now I gotta try chasing with a guy named Bridge
Kid on the mtb. Dang
Wow you actually linked Dylan's race video in your end cards. Very classy. You two have the funniest cycling content. Loved you framing Ted King's thumb up 😂
The best part was your reaction at the end to "do a skid" 😄
Finally I’ve been waiting for this 🔥
^
Always so humble despite crushing so hard. I don’t comment enough about how dope your VLOGs are!
Thank y’all for coming out to our little town to support our local fire department! We really appreciate each and every one of y’all! We can’t wait till next year!
Bro, you definitely belong there. You're the man.
VC your videos are so good…so positive..you never have a negative thing to say…your family should be so proud of you. We are…awesome job. So good.
Damn Tyler, you smashed it! Super stoked for you to take on Unbound this year; just remember not to over-hydrate this time! You're gonna crush it dude!
great vid/recap....you crushed it, you are a "Heavy Hitter" my friend....
6:48 I laugh every single time I see this part 😂 Haha
You came in 10th while holding a selfie stick!! You're a FUNNY GUY!
Well done sir, especially on the comeback from the femur fracture! Death Valley taught you how to suffer well!
VC wins dirty Kanza
also him: "I don´t belong here"
stay humble
Great recap Tyler! With that result, we will have to start calling you a pro cyclist. Even though you're already doing better financially than 99% of "pro cyclists" in the US. KEEP up the great work!
He’s not making more than 99% of the pro’s, the top 20 are making millions, fact, the top 50 after that are making hundreds of thousands, but I hear the average pro on the pro circuit is making 30-40k I hear. How much is VC making? He’s got a day job, he’d be doing pretty good from CZcams, not sure how much, it would vary depending on how much content he puts out, 1K a month for sure, maybe a lot more but nothing crazy.
Commentaire de marde.
@@TwoWheels_OO I said pro in the US...
@@AdamRobergeCycling - Okay, I’m from Australia I don’t know about US cyclist doing well at the moment, and as for he’s CZcams he may not even make $100 a week so no I think if you’re pro continental you’re making $26,200 - $171,200 and if you can make it into the UCI they earn minimum wage 2.35 Million. Imagine even making 26K a year as a cyclist that would be a dream, you could live off that in US so money in the end doesn’t matter. Gallop pole said 85% of humanity based on 1 billion people hate the work they do.
26k in US is like.. paying rent and eating ramen and hope your bike chain don’t break 😂
“I grab some EPO” 🤣🤣
Respect to the VC, who is hitting pretty heavy in this episode. You should be proud!
Was so looking forward to your race report after hearing how well you did. Great effort! Well done!
Congrats Tyler! It’s been amazing seeing your progress over the past few years. Super inspiring! Thanks Tyler!
Right after you posted on Strava I looked up the race results on their website. Seeing you on the top ten with those world class gravel names - so stoked for you man. Nothing is impossible bruh 💪💪
"Do a Skid" HAHAHAHA that one had me rolling
So much fun watching all the perspectives of this race. Great job VC and you probably had the best video presentation, at least top 3.
Been waiting for this one! So entertaining! Laughing so much. Great result!
And yet another great video Tyler! Informative AND entertaining voice-over, plus really great footage which captures the "feel" of the race and your group. A-1. Congratulations on the result!
I kept checking for this to come out when I saw your excellent result, congrats my friend. Looks like gravel is your jam, long distance riding, to be that close to the prod after 7hrs is amazing
Congrats on the top 10 finish Tyler! Truly inspiring. Keep up the good work.
Amazing race. It's stuff like this that inspires me to keep training, keep riding. Well deserved.
Whoooo! Congrats man. You earned that bro. You been puttin in that WORK! I love the training vlogs and now to see the results, I'm inspired as shit. 👊🏾
Love the videos VC. Appreciate the time and effort commitment to entertain us. Proud of you hauling' ass.
Congratulations, Tyler! Awesome video, excellent edit, great storytelling, and spectacular performance.
Keep up the amazing work, man.
Amazing effort and wonderful video as always. Watching your stuff is always a joy! Thanks for this, always motivates me to push a little harder and a little further.
Gonna go get a ride in now. 🚴♂️ This is the motivation I needed. Thanks VC!
Genius commentary! Awesome event, gratz on 10th, really enjoyed it. Please keep going!
Love this video! Really nice for all the Props you shouted out! Great recap of what it takes to be at the top level!
The joy i feel when watching your videos is special. Thanks man!
Great video. I appreciated your humility and your gratitude to those guys who helped bring you along. “👍” said Ted King. Lovit!
Awesome ride. Making top 10 in a race like that with that level competition is something to remember forever and to be really proud of yourself for. Keep up the good work as you return from injury.
Awesome video! I’ve been saying to everyone that Texas needed a premier gravel event. I met you in 2019 at DK. Thanks for creating great content. This old slow Texan really digs it!
Great racing with you dude, can't wait to do it again!
your videos on these brutal endurance races are my absolute favorite. that river crossing was so sick!!
perhaps one of your best videos as well - loved it! thanks!!!
Congrats Veegs! Thanks for sharing the gravel loco race.. man, you are a 🦁.
great work!!!!
Congrats!! That was so well edited and commented. Really enjoyed the recap.
Well played sir. It would never have occurred to me that running water would be the biggest enemy of deep section rims
Finally got a chance to watch this. Great video and a great representation of the roads we have here. I've seen so many motorcycles go down on those exact river crossings. Good idea to play it safe.
Dude, I just want to say you are a huge inspiration for me, juggling cycling, working and family life and not being afraid of failure, and enjoying what the day brings! thanks dude! and keep inspiring people around the world.
You did great man! Not giving yourself enough credit :) Thanks for coming to Texas and supporting this awesome new race.
Dude! You ARE a great racer. Bravo man! Motivating, and impressive!! Congrats!!
Dude so badass!!! From coming off an injury to this?! What?!!?!? BEAST BRO!! Looks so fun! Thanks for bringing us along!
Congrats man! What a great video and race!
Great video! Congrats on the 10th place finish, and glad you are healing up!
Hahahaha; I love these gifs (08:34).. this is why your vlogs stand out and are some much fun to watch. Stay true to yourself.
That’s just the best most entertaining vid Ever. The porta potty entry, the Pooh pile, Ted’s thumbs up and more but what a race man!! Brilliant. I’ve seen a few of the other vids and you got shout outs from Dylan, Ted and Lauren’s. Due recognition and a top 10 finish. Awesome, just awesome. Thanks for the efforts, the vids, the entertainment and the sacrifices you make to get this quality out to us!! I dropped a Chris Pritchard vid to jump over but hey don’t tell him.
"I'm always here to give you the back of the pack perspective" lol VC.. Love your humor!
This is exactly what I wanted, when I opened CZcams. Great stuff and fantastic effort Mr. V
What an incredible experience, to race and to watch your video!
10th dude!! That’s ace in a field of big hitters.
Congratulations ❤️🎉🎉🏁🏁🏁🏁
Such a great story teller dude. I love you man. Nice nice job 👍🏻
Amazing result Tyler! Congrats!
Congrats on the solid effort!!! That looks like it was a blast!....love the camera flip shot at 8:30 ha ha
