To tell the truth, I don't like gravel, but this video was really nice to watch. For the first time I watched an experience between mountain and road cycling. The most interesting cycling sports video I have watched recently.

That homeowner is awesome letting the race go through their house! I've ridden through a library once on a family bike event - it just feels so different and really quite special. This entire race looks fantastic but...I'm too slow and I live in the UK. Apart from those two nuggets I'd be there.

Your videos are awesome! I’ve been waiting for this one to come out ever since I saw the snippets on your insta story. Also just wanna say it’s super inspiring seeing how fit you’ve become the past couple years and how you’re absolutely crushing these races 💪🏽

Tyler, I appreciate seeing how you've grown, especially in the way you approach bike riding and handle things when they come up. Loved this video and am more inspired than ever to go ride bikes in different places and on different surfaces!

I love how honest and humble you are with yourself VC. I also loose my shit quite easily 😂 Great vid!

Thanks Tyler! Love your content. Entertaining, inspirational and open kimono as always. Keep doing amazing things!

Thank you for sharing your journeys with us man. You've helped inspire me to get out and ride more gnarly rides, and after doing a 30 mile gravel ride on my road bike, I bought a Grizl AL 6 which is some mad value and I'm super happy with it. This Saturday I'm doing my first gravel race which is 75 miles in Georgia called Border Wars. Wish me luck! I appreciate you bro

Dude, what an amazing trip, in every sense. All the things that go through our minds while pedaling. Also so inspiring and so many questions answers. And so well edited. What a human human! I love you!

Thanks for keeping it real! Loved it start to finish.

Awesome video! Super honest and revealing about a true competitor and what goes through the mind. Thanks for taking the time to do this!

Dude this video had me chuckling a few times because of your commentary haha! Great ride, great video. These are my fav.

You did great! I crashed ON THE WAY to the venue. After I realized my shoulder was not going to stop popping in and out--I quit at the Pebbler turn-off. Watching makes me a little bummed on my DNF...but you're right it's a great vibe and there's really no part of the course that doesn't demand focus. Cheers!

Your last Rock Cobbler video was the best trainer video ever, and you just topped it! Thank you so much!

Totally loved it! Riding on the drops when I would be crying. The quality of your content is freaking awesome, thank you.

What an awesome course! Loved the race recap. This was so well detailed and narrated!

Been watching for years and this was a good one! Really fun commentary!

So much joy in one video. Truly enjoyed the journey of this ride/vid.

This was the most riveting bike race video i've ever seen. Glad to hear you're OK despite everything

Dude, this was so fun to watch. Thanks for making this.

Great video. Adding this race to the bucket list.

love the footage and commentary. super fun video.

Grew up and started cycling in Bakersfield. Glad people are catching on and sharing how awesome the area is for cycling

This video did not disappoint. I only came to see you ride through the house! Good story. Great the way you edit. Cheers!

Fun video to watch; I'm glad to see you survived and enjoyed the experience. I grew up and raced in Bako while in my 20s and used to ride a lot of those same trails in the 90s. We used to call that fun canyon section Mr. Toads Wild Ride:). The East Bakersfield hills were beautiful then, and many still look the same. I wanted to cry last year coming across all the trash in the hills South of Hart Park. Sam Ames, the guy behind this, used to organize the best cyclocross courses in Hart Park and was a nationally-ranked crosser; I'm glad to see that he's still involved in planning great local events. If you ever want to get some great road routes in, just ask the locals at Action Sports or elsewhere; there are so many great road climbing routes in the foothills and beyond leaving from Bako. Their October century called the Spooktacular is an annual trek back home to reminisce about all the great rides I've done and friends that I've made in this area.

Well worth the wait, great video, great riding and shows what you are in top form, well done

Awesome video and dude, what a ride, wow... So much fun to watch!

Sitting here trying to think of something kind and congratulatory to say that hasn't already been said. Your progression in both producing the footage and your gains on the bike is so fun to watch. Man, I don't need to say anything, look at the comment section. You are excelling at this in so many ways. Humble, grounded, yet confidently self aware of your progession in the sport in a way that people can sit back a say "good for you bro" and not, "great, another douche canoe cyclist just chasing KOM's". From the biz to the training, from the adventures to the family...you are putting it all together in a well written story that I look forward to very much. Good for you bro, good for you👍

Im sorry man, taking ketones does not prevent concussions. At best, there's cursory evidence that they can help recovery post concussion/TBI. Brain injuries are not something to play with, if you're cross eyed after a head strike its time to pull out...

Bit late, but just wanted to say thanks man you've been a major motivational factor in my cycling adventures. One day hopefully we'll cross paths in the races!

just started following you couple months ago and have been watching through all of your content while im grinding on the trainer and absolutely love how far you've come. completely stoked on your content and can't wait to see what races your at this year and how it all goes. keep it coming man! gonna have to pick up some merch to support the homie

Amazing looking terrain, natural single track riding is my fave on my gravel bike. Just turn the cranks and see where it takes you, and go nuts

Great video, brought back memories from last Saturday. My right pedal hit that same rock or one near it, ripped my foot out of the pedal and my hamstring cramped for a second. My buddy behind me was like “ you almost ate shit”. I now realize it could have been a lot worse. I am glad your helmet did its job and you were ok. I am also looking forward to next year.

I love your videos, I always rewatch them. Watched this one 3 times so far
