BADLANDS 22 UNCUT - My first ULTRA CYCLING GRAVEL RACE with 780KM and 16000m+

Спорт

It was just great! During the race, I hated the track most of the time due to its brutal sections that all were challenging. It felt sometimes that a gravel bike is too hard and a full suspension mtb might have been the better choice but in the end, I loved my setup which I show here: • MY BADLANDS 2022 ULTRA...
What I enjoyed most? The night rides and the way to Almeira. Riding along the coast with the sea next to me was priceless.
Thanks to all the supporters:

    Super Doku, sehr informativ, ich will mehr davon 😁. Das Badlands steht auch auf meiner Liste, wenn meine Tochter etwas älter ist. Riesen Respekt das Ding in 2 Tagen durchzuballern. 🔥

    Hi bin nochmal hier gelandet. Ich fahre für gewöhnlich mit einer handelsüblichen Arschrakete. Kannst du mir sagen weshlab du dich für das Rack mit Tasche entschieden hattest. Witzigerweise habe ich drüber nachgedacht ob ich mal ein Rack ausprobieren sollte und da fiel mir dein Video ein. Hast du da paar pros und contras im Vergleich zur Arschrocket? Wie hat sich das Rack bewährt? Wieviel Liter hatte die Tasche? Danke und allzeit gute Beine! Nils

    Due to the fact that I sign up for it 7 weeks before I hd not much time to prepare. This year I have 11k. Thats a bit less but due to my 13 years as a racer I dont need so much time to prepare for stuff like that (that was my first ultra race)

    Great video. I’m really shocked at the bars and lever position, that would be a real wrist killer, not great for endurance.

    in the first downhill one of them moved down ... and I wasn't able to fix it during the race :-( . The position in general was set up like this to increase the reach when on the shifters. I never put my hands full around the shifters so this was matching perfectly :-)
