I didn't want to be the first to say it but I feel the exact same way! I am only 48 but we should start a support group or something?

Knowing that Ted makes dirt bike noises on his bike makes me feel so much better about doing it myself lol

Ted has single-handedly inspired my interest in gravel racing and inspired me to sell one of my road bikes to help fund the purchase of a gravel bike.

Thanks to Ted for sharing his expertise and enthusiasm for cycling.

Austria 2021. Another lockdown. I've gone into FULL DIY mode Ted King style. Creating adventure routes. Chasing PBs on my favorite segments. Getting into race mode even when a am riding alone. Luckily, I have a vivid imagination.

Yo… this flick makes me wanna buy a gravelbike anyday now , priceless . Thanks for sharing

Great idea Ted! Reflecting on what is awesome about these events.

The after party looked nuts!

As a New Englander, this is just amazing. New fav series.

I’m putting off buying a new vehicle so I can purchase a new gravel frameset so I can tackle this. Thanks for the motivation Ted! Keep up the amazing content.🤙🏻

If this doesn't make you want a gravel bike, I don't think anything will. Great stuff Mr. King! 🤴

Absolute cool video Ted. This is how we spend our time on Dutch gravel as well. Keep those lungs healthy! Stay safe.

Appreciate all you do. Your energy, motivation and commitment to your cycling is contagious. But seriously, I think I eeeked out a half a wheel ahead of you. 😜

Ordered some UnTapped because of this video. Appreciate that they are donating a percentage of profits of my purchase to my local bike shop.

- Nice production! - This is keeping us inspired and fit! - Given many of us aren't working, this is the most cost effective event everrr! - There's the silver lining of planning your own mega-adventure!

You're a legend Ted , the King of Gravel 🤜🏽

Great inspiration for folks who don't have year round gravel access like we do here in Texas and for those of us who do! See you in July.

Great advice at 9:40. Great video all around. Thanks, Ted, from a Nebraska gravel rider!

Thank Ted, I'm gettin' out the cross bike now. I'll finish watching l8r

Really enjoyed this. Thanks Ted!

Definitely missing the Mud Season Rasputitsa this spring. Thanks for the video.

Love the diy spirit Ted! Ride on! Whoopi pie and tall boy finish, just right.

Great video, now I have this ride on my bucket list

Great stuff thanks for putting stuff out there like this

Ted, thank you very much for making these videos. They are very interesting, informative, and motivating. I really enjoy watching them. Regarding the COVID-19 thing, people over 60 with pre-existing medical conditions are most at risk. (I'm 62 with T2D & hypertension) Younger people are much less at risk. Lets keep the elderly safe at home and open the country back up for all who are minimally affected. We must stand up for our rights guaranteed by the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Oppose arbitrary restrictions placed on us by autocratic governors and mayors. If they can't cite the science behind their executive orders restricting our freedom, stand up against them! We are on the cusp of permanently losing our American birthright freedoms.

Nice one again.. 👌😎🤙

Super Ted , so good fella keep it up. Stay safe :) x

Whoopie pie and a dry-hopped golden ale...well earned!

Gravel Nationals in Lawrence Kansas was also April 18th. I went out and rode last year’s route DYI. Would love to see you come out and DYI Kanza

I'm in Acadia for the duration of the shutdowns after UMaine went online. I keep running into KOM's and Trophies you got from the shutdown way back in 2013! I definitely agree, gotta love park shutdowns... Bummed about Rasputitsa this year, but I'll take the Reverse Loop anyday... (aka everyday lol)

Great Ted, thanks! DIY!

Would like to do some gravel grinding. Great video thanks for the ride along

Thanks Ted for sharing! Very surreal to see not a soul at Berke.

Ted you're a stud, stay hard!

Amazing!!

YAASSS. Solid fun one to watch. More please! What shoes tho?!?!

I'm addicted to drinking brake fluid, but it's okay, I can stop anytime.

Love the dad jokes! Did you set a record for the longest solo breakaway at the Rasputitsa? 😂 love the DIY Gravel.

Love it

still looks cold looks like you guys had a big winter

Brilliant video man! The perfect balance between inspiring, informative, entertaining, kickass and just absolutely beautiful. I'm just curious as to why you're riding the Super X instead of potentially the Topstone? Anyway, once again, fantastic video and you've got a new subscriber.

I have a question about the width of the tires that you use... when you bike do you breath in lots of little farts over a long period of time or do you breath in one big fart to keep you going over longer distances?

Your breakaway held!

@@patrickgao7527 Hey guys, my Topstone is in California where I am supposed to be right now. I left it there after my last trip. Traveling with bikes is one of the most annoying parts of this job. So it's a bummer that it's there and I'm here. I'm blessed with many bikes, clearly. I love both bikes. Topstone is a super sturdy bike for some more chundery racing. I loved it at Grinduro and it's cool you can run super wide 650c tires. And the Kingpin makes for such a nice ride over the long haul. The SuperX is a stud. It's fast and more of a pure, straight, speed machine. Hope that helps some!
