As a dude who's never rode in a group this was pretty informative. I can average around 15mph on my own and found it dumbfounding looking at others average speed.
-
I was waiting for tips to ride 26 mph with minimal effort solo..
-
Had no idea this is what’s going on in a race. Couldn’t imagine going that speed so close to each other especially when you are so close to the curb or gravel. Hats off.
-
Sitting in and saving energy is my forte. Solid top-100 finish every time.
-
As someone who rides solo 95% of the time, 200-210W on flat terrain can get me to 20 mph over a long ride. Gonna need a Remco-esque CdA for anything more than that!
-
Lots of good info here, thanks for the tips and data sharing. It's so cool to see the power output overlayed onto race footage w/ commentary.
-
I love watching those numbers when bridging to a breakaway. Modern bike tech has gone wild in the last two decades. Wireless shifting, tubeless tires, and all metrics being recorded in real time (with corresponding footage of terrain.). Great video!
-
Simply an excellent and informative video, and very much so even for those of us who bicycle regularly but don't race. The fluency of the narration, supported by zeroed-in graphical data points and perfectly edited video, was spot on and compelling. Kudos! And thank you!
-
Great video. I haven't raced in 13 years, but man this makes me want to get back into it. Without racing, you have no idea how powerful a good slipstream is. The combination of the commentary, video, power, heart rate and speed. Feels like super Mario.
-
This is awesome man. Just got a gravel bike after not riding for a long time and this kind of stuff is really motivating.
-
Absolutely love following your exploits on the interwebs!! Thank you for sharing your experiences so honestly 👍🏼👊🏼🇺🇸

I have a Phoenix Hydra 29 bike (not a road bike). I have been mostly on solo rides only and pull about 100 watts with an average speed of 24 kmph (nearly 15 mph) for about a 60km (~37 miles) ride. I wondered about others on Strava who had average speeds of more than 30 kmph (>20 mph). I always thought that it was because of the slim tires of their road bike. But this video changes that perspective and cleared a lot of doubts!
-
I like the "Two Questions". Definitely important reminders to be intentional about your work in a race. If you want to get really deep, you could apply this to your actions outside of cycling as well. :)
-
"What are you doing and why are you doing it?" Definitely something to keep in mind. Thanks Jeff cheers man🤟🏼
-
Great video. As a novice cyclist, I learned a lot. Thank you!
-
Great stuff man.. Too bad I am 68 and on BP meds which limits my bpm. On a flat flat road I can average 16/17 but over a hilly course I am really slow. Just came to cycling late in life. Still fun for me.
-
I've never been to any race event but this video is pretty interesting that I've watched it all.
-
As a non cyclist, I would’ve never guessed that drafting played that large of a role. Cool stuff
-
Amazing video, loved seeing the Sauce in action again too!
-
Hi Jeff. Love your videos. Keep ‘‘em coming! Btw, what power meter do you use?
