This is the on cyclocross calm this is the Belgian waffle right I was watching the vegan cyclist video about how this is a pretty pretty epic go check out pigment cyclist videos this is the Belgian waffle riders that write in LA and it looks mad mad fun it’s a female

And male it’s a pretty long one hundred miles of gravel and it was won by Peter Cetina pro rider for trek and second or third was Ted King um the bikes they wrote the bikes they rode it was won on this bike the Medina’s have a listen

Here to see what the audio will play okay here we have Cetina pizza thing that already didn’t work so I’m gonna do a voiceover this is this is a biker using he’s very skinny like a vegan he looks like a high carb banana rice vegan through a yellow top we we like that

Color and I just have a look at the bike that he uses to win a gravel race and it’s looking a pretty hardcore gravel race here so he used a trek Madone Amadou not even a domani not a Crockett not a boon he’s the mad owned the sprinters blackest coated a couple

System there so a bit more compliance there he’s got a seat post sticking ray out this piece of swaying back SRAM axis groups it looks like a 50 37 he looks like 28 meal on the back and so using a road bike so gravel bikes at good features cruising around if you want

Pure pure speed peter Sistina recommends that sprinters bike with 20 mm tires tubeless on a super lightweight carbon discs rim and a big drink bottles there the disc brakes definitely would help in the gravel just for the extra confidence you know on the got wet and muddy now

Their standard cockpit easy done I guess that’s Peter subpoenas set up pretty interesting a roadblock and Madone disc which one out no tires they look a little bit thicker thousand twenty eight meals Ted King ran a super 6 with the power 35 mil ties who was who was second

Let’s see if we can find out what bike he wrote Edward Anderson let’s find out wait a sec okay so here we had the Belgian waffle ride mm-hmm and we have we have similar stickers on there talks about the feed zone 133 miles this is on the Belgian villa

News.com so it’s one hundred thirty three mile race it is hardcore it is a race it is a real-deal race so you got people you know I think it’s the organizer days didn’t put it over eight years I don’t know that’s race until till today so you got some crew they

Even we got cookie man they’re cookie man was pack filler and this race so he mustn’t be on the magic cookies anymore he’s uh he’s definitely got skills but he was pack fill in this race so I would say phil was definitely natty in this

Race it was I didn’t go hard as like I did but he got drop he got toasted and I saw it say he’s back to his natural levels again and so you have the hitters here Ted King taking Ben King and Peter Cetina the pros the hitters in this race

So yeah they certainly looks very skinny and very a bit of a factor there doesn’t he has got the skill there so it’s the Belgian waffle race with the Belgium Belgium Stalin California California’s I love the Belgium belches and so look like a big star since he’s very

Aggressive racing there you can clip it was posture you can see the heads are down it’s you know like it’s definitely on it’s definitely on and new clues bottleneck another bottleneck so this is what you do if you’re in a bottleneck like this you just stay relaxed look for

The line cruise around a lot of people get intense there because I’m they’re breathing like come on just get through and just getting all like hussy and fussy hey it’s a hundred and thirty three miles it’s still long way to go so again if you really want to be up the

Front you’d be on the front otherwise just relax settle in and enjoy the ride so you can see here cookie man’s nowhere to be seen you can see Peter sits sadena so these are all the hitters the selection was made pretty early on we have some Table two molars at the hills

And so you can see gravel bike nails and a Santa Cruz sort of gravel sort of bike but again you know we saw you know the heat is a lot of heaters in this race you know there’s a lot of hitters in this race so it was very very interesting

The the time difference is there and then this is a select group here this is the this is the fit guys and just like Kings waving people through door turn to a turn and so you can see that there’s a hit is there so if you’re not in the

Front group then you are out the back pretty quick so two four six eight nine guys in the front group they’re the hitters and you can see and all sort of stand together there on the group days besides it may be 11 12 riders and we

Got the back so sitting on the front on his road bike really setting the pace making it one of her and looks like the other guy was at Anderson who got second he’s also on a road bike so rode by two discs 20mm tires is what they used disc

Brakes would definitely give you a better stopping on a situational his son because he knew it you know in a road race you don’t need to wash off much speed but you know grammar ACB bombing a descent and you would need to wash off a lot of speed so disc brakes can Steve

Deliver extra you know but again it would be interesting if Pete’s at Tina’s totally had any freedom to ride any bike he wanted which he did and he chose his road bike would he choose a rim brake or a disc brake version that would be very interesting I would I would probably go

Disc on the ground wall for sure because what if it starts raining and if it rains you know it’s game over there’s a chem trails and background there and the women’s riders women’s so women’s first right I was in seven hours 23 and seven hours 23 I think who

Commanded like a 722 so you almost got checked for that’s how much the Fitness varies when you’re natty versus not natty and do something a hike a bike so mountain bike shoes would have been to go here looks like can’t see Cetina so team looks like he’s already gone

Through at this point this is on a Niner looks like an R do cyclocross bike so cyclocross gravel same thing really same thing really maybe actually grab a boy I could probably pill and be guitars can you be guitars ago was it what do you think big guitars uncover bite and

Generally a bit more drink bottle mounts for that if I’m getting any of these facts wrong please correct me in the comments section down below we have a female roadie on a road bike top-25 melt ice so very very interesting bike specifics here now were they choosing certain things because they couldn’t

Afford a specific bike or what if I did this ride personally I’d probably go a you know do the course first to find out what I’m dealing with what’s be the best spec and then I’ll never go you know a road bike with 30ml tires disc brakes or I’d crack out my hardtail

Mountainbike say it depends in my technical skills the best so I think having a mountain bike would definitely be an advantage for me to lose little time climbing wise and you just draft because look like the smooth roads me drafting what’s going on there so you know this interesting stuff

But this brakes were very popular but again is that by choice is that by sponsorship pressure we know if your specialized rider or trick rider yeah he only had one option and that’s disc brakes so but it was interesting to see the winner of the race choose a mad

Dog I wouldn’t have I wouldn’t think that I wouldn’t pick that again I don’t know its course but it looks pretty smooth it looks pretty smooth how many women do we have about 80 women so wasn’t a massive big Palace on is a hundred and eighty finishes and the guys

And 80 women so I thought it would’ve been more people in the I think they had another small ride called the wafer maybe people did that because 133 miles you’re not gonna happen many people can do I’m 233 miles long who would do that so it’s very select so a niche race and

All that you know it is definitely he’s a [ __ ] race people gone full gas long as attorneys number up so I do and number 31a yeah interesting so he wrote got mountain bike shoes they I can see mountain bike shoes and sit up on that gravel climb

So again cook him in know every scene drop pretty early not enough magic cookies we have it’s always good it’s hang hang on the car taking on the motorway no he’s not he’s grabbing some food so it looks like the was very well-supported rice he looks

Very skinny very skinny and yes a 20 mm tire again on the gravel there it’s almost like strata Bianchi so your road bike robot for the go and yeah this is all hitters at the front so that who’s who of gravel racing in the USA right now so yeah interesting stuff they’re

Talking on the last climb there and here we go it looks like Stu Tina say pronoun sister Tina you can so see these guys very very skinny and riding disparate road bikes Internet little tires so what does that mean for the gravel block industry who knows by you attack

Apparently attacked at the base of the climb so riding very strong skinny big power hands up um no muscles in the legs skinny legs getting it done so I dusty dusty ride and so seven hours 23 for the women’s and about 6 hours 22 for the elite men so pretty amazing they’re

Getting your bike fix dust and dirt this would have been a fun race this is San Diego crashes here stuff all that so yes is a woman’s second place I don’t know I’ll go no bike which they’re quite quite rightly associated be the spill that leader there that right leave a bit

Dusty the results so it crashes bit of fun just cause think your mouth stuck open but a little good you have a baby qubit blood cells afterwards so yeah it’s a very interesting event watching you know watching the the gravel bikes get dominate by road bike and 11 our

Cutoff line 13 our cutoff line that’s pretty cool so is there for the for the pros and also for the the bicycle lovers who wants gonna refer a ride the Belgian waffle race what a fantastic event looks like as well supported only heard good things about it

Definitely son I would did you do the Belgian waffle ride how’d you think or botted you ride comes criticisms hit me up down below thanks for watching
