    That's crazy tough!!! Lots of climbing, at the end I'm sure you feel the sense of accomplishment, but I would personally eat, shower, and fall in bed for at least 20 hours lol
    Super video guys

      @VeloVegan  Před 7 lety

    • @VeloVegan
      @VeloVegan  Před 7 lety

      Also have one of those small fluffy wind muffler things on top of the mic, audio was unusable on the bike before I got it, it makes such a big difference!

      +VeloVegan Chicago. I hate it because I'm small and naturally thin. I eat cake all day and look like Quintana. i have the body for climbing, but like in the flats. I did a double century and all I saw was cornfields the entire day. you're so lucky!

    How do you like USA compared to riding in Europe?

    • @VeloVegan
      @VeloVegan  Před 6 lety +1

      Parts of US were great, as with everywhere though, you have to do a bit of reasearch and make sure you stay away from the busy roads! Europe on the whole is more bike friendly culture though, especially in cities!
