Video – The Huffmaster Hopper 2023

I’m not generally going to be posting DNF efforts here, but Padraig references the Grasshopper gravel series pretty often on the Paceline, and I found this survey of (most of) the Huffmaster Hopper kinda charming. First, these are definitely NOT the nastiest conditions ever for a gravel race, but if you live in California, I can understand why you might think so. Second, she’s a beaut, eh?

I liked the captions. I liked the scenery. This guy’s got a good sense for timing and editing. Enjoy it.

Robot fell in love with cycling watching the older neighborhood kids ride wheelies down the street. It was the early '70s, and Evel Knievel was jumping motorcycles over buses. Everything seemed possible. From that moment, the die was cast (iacta alia est).

He studied philosophy in college, of course he did. That's what idealists do, romantics, kids who think there must be a better way. At the same time, bikes were carrying him everywhere, delivering all of life's gifts and surprises. Occasionally he crashed and didn't mind.
