I'm sure we'll meet again soon...

Great video from a long and hard race. I admire your courage and power. Nevertheless, the trails look well-packed, without rocks, the support was really encouraging, and the views were really worth the adventure. Given the circumstances (mud and No. 13), I think you excelled! Thank you Zach!👍🚴‍♀😺

The elevation numbers always seem to go above what's predicted at the cobbler.

Great video as always. This year was my first Cobbler. Grueling and enjoyable and rewarding the whole way (accept maybe the muddy and sandy sections 🙃…)

Haunting and poetic! @@GravelBikeCalifornia

Lovely video as always. I'm starting to hate my choices on the day less.

Just to be clear, there is no perfect choice at the cobbler!

Great vid as always! Might an ass-saver type of rear fender have protected your camera?

Yeah, but it would have blocked a lot of the shot

Those Lauf can fit 29x2.25 tires I would think 45mm would be enough clearance of close to 15mm.

Mud getting caught was a non-issue that day

Would appreciate your thoughts on your Lauf and setup

I thought it was the right bike for the cobbler. My tire choice was too large and maybe you'd want a little more gearing for those really steep ones, but really you should be saving your energy there.

Tires? Traveling to that fondo in Merced in next month and probably similar dirt.

If I could do this cobbler again, I would have gone with something like 38s or 40s
