Iceland Backcountry Adventure Ride from Selfoss to Reykjadalur Hot Springs
When in Iceland, do crazy stuff. Five days after racing The Rift Race 2024 and contracting what most likely was COVID, the plan was made to explore the beautiful countryside around our Airbnb in Selfoss by bike and make our way over to Reykjadalur Thermal Bathing Pools near Hveragerði. But as usual, why take the direct route when you can take the scenic route?
"Careful" planning on RWGPS and Strava ensured that my route would be perfect. Heh. In actuality, this was more like an episode of The Impossible Routes by JB and Vegan Cyclist. But isn't that what makes something epic? So, let the fun begin!

Keystone Gravel 2020: Leg-breaking Climbs - Insane Downhills

Continuing in the theme of #wtfdonnie, KG 2020 did not disappoint. The course was shorter than previous years but packed with some of the hardest climbs yet. Don Breon and his KG crew put on a great event despite the challenges of the Coronavirus pandemic. Hands up, y'all! Location: Mud Run Farm, Jersey Shore, PA and Pine Creek Gorge. Recorded on a DJI Osmo Action at 2.7k, 30fps, Rocksteady, D-...
Strava Downhill KOM in the Dark!
Переглядів 474 роки тому
Dropping a downhill road segment at dusk is kinda surreal. Going for the KOM is maybe a bit past surreal. Video: Cycliq Fly12 Edit and Metric Overlays: Garmin Virb Editing Software
Strava segments are stupid, when you don't KOM.

This is a short but challenging segment that I created close to my home as a finishing push on my 60 mile commuting days. But then some young punks started pushing the top time until it just became ridiculous. So that makes it just about perfect to reclaim my backyard segment. Or die trying. Get of my lawn, you whippersnappers!

A super fun 1.4-mile segment with a buddy and a bit of tailwind. Nate has a kick I can't often match but let's see what happens! Shot on Cycliq Fly12, 1080p @ 60fps, no image stabilization. cycliq.com/bike-cameras/fly12ce/?v=7516fd43adaa Edited using Garmin's FREE VIRBedit desktop software. Super easy to use with many options for overlaying data and metrics. buy.garmin.com/en-US/US/p/573412

Of course, suspension MTBs are best for ripping downhills, but sometimes drop bars and 650b wheels can rip even faster.

Snowstorms are fun. But in South Central PA it often turns to sleet and freezing rain. Not so fun on two wheels but hey, we'll ride anything. On a positive note, my Lake Cycling MXZ400 winter boots were just amazing. My feet were warm and dry, even in rain and wet snow.

Winter has been scarce here in the Mid-Atlantic states so when the snow fell, it was time to take a snow day! Side note: need to work on the camera angle a bit to show the horizon more. Camera: DJI Osmo Action Music by Benjamin Banger and Bobby Drake.

A little gravel cycling exploration on the Mason-Dixon trail around Long Level, York County, PA, and further south. Will definitely be putting together bigger adventure rides as I continue to explore and document this area for a future adventure race. :)
