Looks like some Florida rides are definitely in my future!
Another Awesome video Luis. Thanks for taking us along and some very useful tips too. I’ve never done a century but looking forward to it one day. 👊🏾
But Luis...you told me in one of your older videos that long rides like these are unnecessary!

You guys are tough. i don't care if it is flat, that's a real show of endurance. Hot sun reflected off the pavement. Florida is known to be humid. Then you make it look easy. Lots of cars too. Good nobody got hurt.
Beautiful ride with great people, thanks for the invite. :) I think I'm going to do the whole ride next year!

I live in San Diego, CA, but for some reasons, it seems like the rides over there are more relaxing because of the flat rides and better views of beaches, over hanging trees on the road, and looks warmer. Maybe one day I move there when my kids finished college.

The grass is not necessarily greener on the other side of the country 😅 Definitely check it out before committing to a move.
As someone from Toronto Canada, jealous of the fact you guys have a beautiful coastline and amazing weather year round in Florida! Great video would love to see more videos on the riding community out there as well as these long rides.
That for me was pure Magic the group are fantastic your weather sent by God and the coast line to die for oh i wish because this year out of my 17 rides it rained 11 times i hope you realize your totally spoilt thank you Luis for sharing this magical ride keep safe Sir loved the video.

I have to say I really enjoy watching your videos. They are so inspiring to me. Keep up the great work you do. It's on my goal list is to ride down in Florida. The scenery is unbelievable to me. I'm planning to do a century in June, so the tips you gave are right on time for me.

Interesting video and thanks for sharing. The main thing is to measure and maintain your effort also the combination of cassette/crankset lenght but also stem lenght and seat post adjustment is very important. When I did road bike competition I was always tought that. I however noticed that some people cut their ahead set for steerer too short which main result over the long run in pain aches or injuries. It is worse if you are into cross country or free ride or enduro riding.On a side note, I have been to Florida for a business indeed a great state and great people there too
Love it! What an adventure! Was looking for South Florida landmarks, where I ride! Great video Luis!!!

Great content! Look forward to joining the ride it’s been a couple of years since I stopped and just got back into it.
One of your cycling fans from Colorado wishes to pass on a hearty congratulations to you all!
Awesome story telling about your ride with this video. The start of the ride when the sun came up seemed crazy beautiful. Was this considered a randonneuring ride? The long distance and the stops/checkpoints seem to fall in line with the rando style of riding. The difference being the SAG team meeting you at the stops.
Mate! That was awesome! Any chance you could share the GPS file? I am particularly interested in your route through Ft Lauderdale. That place does not seem to have a pleasant route through it, esp around the airport, and has thus far stopped me from riding North from Miami. As the school year is coming to a close, my son and I are looking for new challenging routes. He's 16 and just did his first century 2-3 weeks back. What you said about the upper body giving out first is spot on as well. I told my son "you're about to find 15 new hand positions on your bars" during his century. And he did! I'm new to the channel and love everything I have seen so far! Keep it up!
making me miss FL riding
Great channel and video. What would be cool is if you discussed bib choice, chamois cream, etc. I personally find that the correct good quality bib is central to a good ride. Also, I notice your jerseys have no logos or graphics beyond simple patterns. Tell us about that also…. Just some thoughts. I ride Bucks county PA and we have hills. When I ride the shore it is so flat (34 miles, 300 feet elevation). This makes me like a good climb. How do you manage so much flat terrain????
How do you find the drivers behave on a ride like this? It always looks kind of rough having all of those cars flying by you the entire trip. Great video, thanks for sharing this!
Love your content i just purchased my first bike im new but watching your videos motivate and inspire me im not sure if i purchased the right bike (manufacturer) cause u see so much brands but i try to keep it simple cause i know im just in learning stage dont over spend you made me want a hamburger lollll 😂😂 get your rest bro

I don't know if it's a matter of film shots, but I am surprised how few riders had front and back lights on. I never ride my bike, no matter the time of the day or the weather, without lights on the back and front. That being said, well done. I personally would not have the endurance to do the same.

I am impressed how you rode 120 miles. It has to be the group and support. As always nice advice. ❤❤By the way how did you Colnago bike handle and ride? It’s a beautiful color and my favorite of your collection.

Luis. I did all three long distance rides last year. You captured the CFC family exactly as they are. There is no way I would still be cycling if it wasn’t for this club and those people. Well done. P.S. whatever RT is supplying it is probably fake. 😂

Just found your channel and I love it !! … Thank you very much for what you are doing !. I’m just now getting back out on the road after a 15 year break for health issues . Noticed you are wearing full finger gloves . Are they Giro’s and what model are they and how do you like them ?… again many Thanks for the great videos !!!

I'd never heard of "bridge repeats" until I lived in Florida. Came there from Seattle''s amazing hills. My 100 kilo clydesdale frame beat the FL riders up every bump. Poor Floridian riders.
