Haha, you shuld make one with the soup nazi
Or if you are on Sram doubletap, “the shift of sadness” gives you a harder gear, just for asking lol
Good to know I’m not the only one!
Shift into easiest gear. Pedal. Pedal. Look down and see there are no more gears. Pedal. Pedal. Try shifting into an easier gear knowing full well there are no more gears. BUT it’s to make sure my eyes and/or mental state didn’t miss a gear. 10min later, look down and try again. 
Virtual Partner isn’t my friend and I’m never buying them a coffee no matter how many times they beat me. In fact, I sandbag so they end up waiting, get bored and leave before I finish.

this is a meme in of itself
I love TR and @Jonathan but man…that needs a different thumbnail
Ughhhh. I hate those youtube thumbnails.
If I wasn’t a TR fan, that thumbnail alone would make me bury it.
It’s really bad. Seems like a lot of channels have been leaning into the clickbait thumbnails. I refuse to believe this increases the kind of actual engagement that helps people get faster.
I bet it works well on YouTube, and likely a good chunk of those viewers go on to see the podcast, get a membership and discover the “real” TR.
Easy enough to ignore.
You’re probably right. It’s kind of like over-unders: I don’t like them, but from all indications they work.
I thought the pic was funny. It got my attention. Great video.

Sounds like there was a bit of running at Unbound (#MudBound)
Is that even type 3 fun? That’s like a whole new level 
Dunno… personal experience is a gravel racer is someone who got tired of staring at the next 30-100m or so of pavement and instead wanted to new scenery with varied terrain, actual hills, rolling single track like I did when I raced mtb (NORBA!) in the late 80s & early 90s, on-off-on intensity, and still get in pavement time (between trails, of course). I was happy with my 52min IM swims and later 59min swims when I was slacking off 
Maybe I’m an outlier as I’m not in the US gravel scene as an American living in Europe… Retrospectively, I think this is more a comment on the US gravel racing routes than on the racers.
