Arrowhead 135 – International Falls, Minnesota / January 31st each year – Mandatory starting gear includes a minus -20F degree sleeping bag or colder rating.
What a beautiful country Switzerland looks, top of my bucket list
Well done Ollie, great video 👍
is it just me, or does Si make an appearance on the start line at 10:27 ?
I have to many bikes but I really want a Titanium one.
What do I need to do to work for GCN and be sent to amazing gravel places?
That was a great vid Ollie, I have really enjoyed it. The course looked lovely tough but not cruel? I hope as I may just give it a go. I do like that Ti bike too, I won’t be buying one as I have one already, a Litespeed Watia with the Campag Ekar groupset fitted. It’s early doors yet as I’ve only had 3 or 4 rides on it, but I am thoroughly enjoying it. Getting off tarmac riding gravel tyres on a very good Ti frame, is nothing short of magic. It can only get better. The gravel trails through beautiful terrain, being comfortable and enjoying the cycling, well, words don’t do it justice. Thank you, I am glad you’re enjoying it too!
Moots is in Steamboat Springs, not Colorado Springs!
Fantastic video! … Would love to see Ollie at the start line in Marrakech as well!
Loved this video….more please
it would be hilarious af if a gravel rider replaced their frame with a mid-priced hybrid frame by trek. the geometry is about the same. and keep the suspension seat post.
Am I tripping or did they forget to color the log footage?
You've been watching to much BBC4 repeats then?
Routt County is Steamboat Springs, Colorado Springs is in El Paso County! Great vid tho
How to you spot brits in the alps? They're wearing white sneakers. (Bonus points, if they're wearing them while washing a bike..)
All jokes aside, though. Lets appreciate what a tough legend Ollie is. Sorry Switzerland only treated you to bad weather! Kudos on the perserverance
What's with the quality in this video?
Nice Sunnies 😎 These roads look very familiar to the SG team – hopefully next time we can ride together!
Aaaand Ollie has visited a barber too! Great views, cool hair!
As someone has already pointed out, Moots is based in Steamboat Springs, Colorado, NOT Colorado Springs. There is a big difference. Wish I could afford one of their bikes. No worries, Ollie. You are such a great sport for putting up with all the ** the other presenters give you for being less than perfect. You are an awesome cyclist, and a scientist too! Cheers
I think if Ollie and Si left GCN, I'd stick with GMBN. Honestly the infectious and natural enthusiasm of those two makes every video better. I'd say the same if Neil and Blake left GMBN 😁
Clever format with the timed sections! It feels like so much has changed since Ollie dropped Contadore…
great video from my home country👍
unfortunately I could not attend the event
anything Ollie does makes me smile!
Next time Gravel Epic Marrakech or GravelMan Mont Blanc ?
Weird to see Ollie with a piece of metal on wheels.
Video quality and grading in some clips were garbage.
fuck switzerland, dont go back there. long live ukraine
That was good, thanks for sharing.
Heil !
Was that Ollie washing his bike with a fire hose?
One quick question could you start innotrac standing position or do you have to be out of your pedals and then just before the start click into your pedals ?
welcome to morocco
to much talking head
