Loved the podcast, Fatty. I’ve ridden Dirty Kanza the last two years and really enjoyed listening to Yuri’s experiences. I feel bad that he didn’t get to enjoy the heat and headwinds between the second and third checkpoints. I had four liters of water for those 62 miles and it wasn’t enough. Last year I was riding with a mechanic friend as we rode (walked) through the mud and derailleur carnage. He noticed that virtually all of the broken detailers were short cages. Same was true this year. I agree with Yuri that gravel riders are a special breed.

@Jeff You can EDIT a Strava file?!?!?!?!

I needto look into this. I could take all the ’slow’ parts out. Of course that would only leave me downhills…it would look odd…but hey.

@Fatty, you’re kind, but in reality, many of my comments look weird … I should have copied the spam comment, cut out the marketing, and pasted it into my comment.

Also, halfway through the Yuri podcast. Two observations:

1. I LOVED Yuri’s love of Ted King’s comment to Yuri. I attended a Ted King event just before he moved west. Totally on board with his being totally legit. Buy his maple syrup!

2. I LOVED that you spent 30 minutes (legitimately) editing a Strava file. If readers want to know well, well, get your self over to the podcast STAT!

At least it looks like they kissed and made up by the Crusher.

One: The Yuri podcast is fantastic and the Taco Bell in Lodi that he went to is my favorite TB of all time (really).

Two: I now have Yakkity Sax stuck in my head, much thanks.

Three: Why did I hear my own wife’s voice when reading “El-DEN!!!” I believe I have a similar Hammer-ish person here in my house.

Great read, keep it up.

Who can think of carbon rims on top of all of the other transition items to keep track of?

This comment looks pretty weird now that I marked the comment you’re replying to as Spam. – FC

So that’s where Mr. Froome got the idea about jogging in bike shoes.

Maybe things will start looking up for Team Fatty? I hope so. Guess I’ll have to wait until Monday to find out.
