Very honest appraisal. You admit your love for the hobby is out of whack but then say you love it. I think that’s beautifully honest.
nice!
I really enjoying this video! Good video.
I really enjoyed this and your honesty has made me think about myself and those close to me, I’m in England but hope I can ride your roads in the not too distant future. Thanks 🙏
I like gravel biking, but you lost me with all the confessional psychology…over-sharing,…who cares?
I've gone the other way, I used to ride tonnes and it really helped my mental health but now I can't cycle die to really bad knees and my mental health is taking a dive.
amazing story thank you
thank you for this film; i had a good release of some emotional rustiness. cheers
Great Movie! It´s describe the meaning of Life. Family and riding a Bike. You don´t need even more in life
The part where he was talking about breaking down and having that emotional release… I recently had an almost identical experience. I've never seen everything so clearly or the same since. I hope everyone finds their moment of grace.
Everything looks beautiful, and peaceful….
Great video man. Now I really wanna bike pack. I’ve been thinking about bike packing for years now. Just need to take the leap.
Such a beautiful production 😎👏

Beautiful story
Beautiful film.
Precious. Very helpful little video. Quite inspirational.
Thank you and greetings from Portugal.
Oh man, that part about addiction really resonated wtih me. Though I never had such emotional moments on the bike, for me a certain song really hit that spot.
Thanks for sharing your ride of life.
Didn’t know that Youtube had such beautiful content. Very fine documentary! All my love
awesome video. towards the end, the vocals of the background music track overlapped with your own commentary, which made it difficult to understand what you were saying at times. But we got the message. Wish you the best
Glad I found this video in my search for gravel biking. Very inspirational and well documented!
pedal ON
That was beautiful, thank you.
What a great metaphor for the way to live life.
Such a great film, I initially played this video for potential scenery but took away so much more than that.
Very great Bro..

What an inspirational little film…. I didn't expect that & really enjoyed listening to your journey! I wish we had more gravel events in the UK 🙂
One day I want to participate in a gravel race like this. For now I’ll cruise the roads up by my cabin on gunflint trail in grand marais
Hallo! I’m from Italy, can I have more details of this beautiful event? Thank you 🙏🚴♀️
I needed to hear this. Thanks from the mountains of West Virginia.
This is exactly what I needed to see and hear. Thank you.
This was beautifully done. I have recently gotten into gravel biking and live in St. Paul, MN. I will be adding this event to my to do list
Wooaw inspiring a lot!
So taking your chain off is meant to deter theft?
