I rode the UCI – Gravel World Series Peize, Netherlands and it was a great experience to say the least. I did not realize that I had to start at the back seeing my age which was quite a damper I find. That means i would most probably stick to MTB marathons where you can start in one group, the earlier you line up the further forward you are.

    Who the heck is Barry? I am a ex- elite triathlete and started riding in 1984. In real life I am a chiropractor.
    This channel is about cycling and health. I also build my own bikes which can be a risky business as actually i am a chiropractor.
    Born and bread in South Africa, riding my bike in The Netherlands is one journey of discovery as it’s so beautiful. I race mountain bike marathons and will soon be doing my first gravel race.
    I raced as a triathlete in South Africa and the United States of America and was on the South African Triathlon Invitation Team 1989.
    Currently i am racing the Sforz MTB Cup in the Netherlands and Germany. I finished in 4th place in my age-group in 2017 and 2018 – 50+
    Thank you for watching my channel.
    Cheers
