GRAVEL BIKING Texas Hill Country Overland Route, Part 3, Day2. To the Finish!

182 Miles of GRAVEL BIKING along Texas's most famous and beautiful Overland 4x4 route! This portion is from waking up on a deserted island near Mason, going through a rowdy race finish in Castell, and then to our own finish in Llano, TX. Thank you Lagoonsleep.com for the pillow and great sleep overnight. Starts off a bit slow trying to figure out what's going on while the coffee kicks in, then picks up the pace going around House Mountain, rolling through a big crowd in Castell for lunch, and wraps up with a drag race to see who can finish first! Chapters: 00:00 Waking up on the island, surveying the bike rig. 6:00 First Gravel! And bike tracks. We are on the right course! 8:25 Gravel starting to get a bit muddy and deep-sandy. 9:50 Spotting first other cyclist. 11:30 Developing a blister and doing treatment. 12:20 First water crossing. 16:30 Passing another cyclist on HWY 87. 20:35 First sight of HOUSE MOUNTAIN! 21:40 Cool water crossing! 23:00 First signs of neck pain. 23:28 Skunk! Plus more water crossings and thick gravel. 27:49 Emily starts doing yoga and rest break. 31:30 Feeling alone. Feels spooky but cool! 35:00 Starting to think about Monday. :( 36:00 Entering Castell for lunch! 38:45 Lubing chain and pedal cleats after lunch. 40:25 Lubing Kai's chain in secret cuz that's what dad's do. ;) 41:43 Gear review - Rear bag, bottle cages, rear Continental tire, Niner frame. 42:50 Back on the road after 4 tacos and a river crossing! Simulating if you started the actual race. 44:00 Gear I'm using - Garmin 840, Assioma Power meter pedals, Niner Alloy RLT, Squirt lube, Olight RN 1500 headlight, Amazfit T-Rex 3 for HR, Rival mechanical 11 speed, Profile Design aerobars, Otto elbow pads, Insta360 X4 camera, 50mm tires. 48:15 Bring a 4wd support vehicle just in case the water crossings are muddy from rain. You can make it in a very high performance lifted 2wd, but I wouldn't risk it. 52:15 How much gas we used, reviewing other logistics and what we ate where and why. 55:40 Great race start setup and comparing Garmins vs. Amazfit T-Rex3 watch. 1:01:40 I do COACHING! Email me at Texafornia at the Gmails. 1:03:00 The reasons why sometimes there's no street or stop signs. 1:05:00 Why there's not as much barbed wire fences here. 1:07:00 Heat tips using jersey and water. 1:09:00 How mountain bikers ride differently to be faster... committing to the drop in! 1:10:50 This place looks like Arizona! And how Enduro racing works. 1:15:00 Starting to think about how we will miss this ride together. 1:15:55 My genetic nerve damage that's worsening. How long will I be able to ride before there's too much pain? 1:19:10 Kai and I start racing each other for the finish! And how "shadehunting" works. 1:20:53 The breakneck racepace risky riding BEGINS!!! 1:21:49 Crossing "THE SLAB" across the Llano River at dangerous speed, nearly setting the KOM. 1:23:50 Kai can DESTROY me mountain biking, but I'm still King of the Ultra Road TT... for one more year ;)
