[BrianBUrlacher]

is chris hoch in/on your team? i love that guy :)

[chavezcycling]

@BrianBUrlacher No, he is on Z motion.

[TheRealEmskiHelp]

Beautiful video. Wish I could ride those roads.

[gpengel]

Great video!

[locotte]

i got a new bike and i ride up to 40 mile total any tip to get better , faster and stronger? i do interval sprints and im new at this .

[chavezcycling]

@locotte Try to train 2-3 hours per day, 6 days per week. Always ride over 19mph.

Do some power training in your hardest gear 2-3 times per week for 30

minutes each time. Try to do 4-6 sprints of 300m, standing on the pedals

and going as fast as you can, once or twice per week. Join group rides or

race on the weekends.

For a whole year I posted my training plan on my blog. You can see it in the July 2009 post of my blog site (ChavezCycling)

[locotte]

@chavezcycling thank you very much for all the info . if you come to west palm beach one day let me know so i can ride with you . it will be a pleasure.

[chavezcycling]

@locotte thank you my friend. Also if you are in the Tampa area let me know. Good luck with your training.

[locotte]

I lOVE THIS VIDEO!!!

[bikerboyinpcf16]

did you guys race in panama city fl or the beach of panama city

[chavezcycling]

@bikerboyinpcf16 No, this race was in Jacksonville.

[GATORSHARK25]

Do you guys ever race in Orlando?

[chavezcycling]

@GATORSHARK25 Yes we do.

[Spazum888]

hey man. after 10 years of smoking i finally quit 4 weeks ago. i JUST got a basic road bike last week and been doing about 10+ miles a day.

i just wanted to say thanks for posting these videos, i hope to one day be in these videos =)

[chavezcycling]

@Spazum888 Congratulations on quitting, just train everyday. Build up to longer rides and more effort. Try to find group rides in your area to help you become more competitive. Hope one day to see you out on the rides with us.

[394U14]

@Spazum888 Congrats 2 thumbs up. I smoked on/off. Jan08, I said enough.

It will take sometime to adjust to change of habit. Be very patient with self, especially the first 12 months. To get in the best of shape, it will take time so don't over train. Ride 3-4 times a week for 1-3 hrs. Power walking & find other cardio to help your lungs improve. Buy a heart rate monitor & use it. Keep yourself hydrated and focus on the prize!!.

BEST OF LUCK TO YOU!!

[gheparduleo]

I love road race bikes!!!

[lREVENGE]

absolutly stunning!! o.O

[chavezcycling]

@lREVENGE thank you...glad you enjoyed it!

[gheparduleo]

Song name?

[chavezcycling]

@gheparduleo the song is called "Dreams to Reality" by DJ Saryon and Sory

[miliziametallica]

I prefer videos where we can see handlebar too

[kingdan2008]

Nice video makes me feel slow and really gives me the urge to take up cycling properly rather than just biking 10miles everyday to work and back. Keep up the good work!

[chavezcycling]

@karlstade Happy to hear that you are enjoying them, we have some really great ones coming so stay tuned...

[apricotsnms516]

dude you're being beaten by girls :P

[vietanmay911]

do's this take place in the middle Tennessee any events because i have this $1500 bike that can go over 30 and i would love to race it

[chavezcycling]

@vietanmay911 this race was in Florida, I'm sure there must be some races in Tennessee, or you can come join us for some racing in Florida this season.

[vietanmay911]

@chavezcycling yea i might but i need to train because my bike weight like 2 pounds and i can barley pass 30 miles and pass out XD

[procarrier]

@vietanmay911

Its not the bike its the rider. If you can make your bike go 30 mph for 60 miles, there are people who will pay you to ride their $6.000 bikes.

[s1wilco79]

Florida looks utterly beautiful....but you must need a 4 min gap before the bunch lose sight of you! Nice vid mate!

[trackmatt123]

what camera do you use?

[JCarp211]

What was your average speed and distance for this race?

[chavezcycling]

@JCarp211 Avg speed was 28-30mph and distance was 60miles

[ctrlaltdlt01]

florida must be a great state to ride, its pretty much completely flat!

[DontTouchTheWatch]

Awesome video!

[bankmind80]

One of the best cycling videos I have ever seen!

Nice work....really like the song track as well

[pooohz]

How fast are they going on these roads?

[GildedAlien]

coasting noobs

[ctrlaltdlt01]

@GildedAlien

lol hipster is too cool for gears right?

[ctrlaltdlt01]

@GildedAlien

they need to stay with the peloton (mass of riders) in order to take advantage of the energy savings of drafting. Riders take turns at the front of the pack and take the brunt of the wind pedaling hard while the other riders have a relatively easier time and can coast. The race is about endurance not going full on from start to finish.

[GildedAlien]

@ctrlaltdlt01 I don't ride fix gear, and I'm not a hipster. I'm just pointing out that these noobs are coasting when they could actually be saving time while pedaling.

[FrozenCrewGr]

wish i could do that ! :)

[timewillprove]

What lovely smooth roads, not like Britains which are full of potholes, manholes and patched up tarmac.

[DontTouchTheWatch]

@timewillprove My thoughts exactly! Looks great to cycle there. I get punctures all the time from out terrible roads in the UK!

[TasteOfKisses]

Geez, this is awesome. I loved the process. May I know the song dude? ;-)

[chavezcycling]

@TasteOfKisses The name of the song is "Dreams to Reality" by DJ Saryon & Sory. We always credit the songs at the end of the video.

[redl1ghtdistrikt]

nme of song??

[feszni]

Really gives back the feelings you feel during a race! As for me, it's more enjoyable when you're in the middle of the crowd. Great job!

[fraserweere]

do you need to have overshoes when you do road racing?

[chavezcycling]

@fraserweere you can, it helps with aerodynamics

[cesarmarcianomacaco]

Very cool! 100%

[chavezcycling]

@cesarmarcianomacaco Thanks!

[neilcliff]

Me three!!!! - invaluable on the turbo with tunes on and the chavez guys rollin!!!! Awesome quality.

[Mansell5Senna8]

I cannot get over the quality of this video, it is amazing. Do you have anymore video? An hour would be perfect for my turbo sessions :)

[chavezcycling]

We're glad you are enjoying them! We've had a lot of people asking for a one hour video, so we made a 60-minute Indoor Cycling DVD that you can get at our website ChavezCycling on the Indoor Cycling DVD page . We are also in the process of making Indoor Cycling DVD #2 from recent races. Thanks for all the great feedback it is really appreciated :))

[chavezcycling]

@Mansell5Senna8 We have made a one hour indoor cycling dvd with a lot of great footage from many of my races. We have arranged them so that they start as a warm up, build up to an exciting and intense level, then a short cool down. We've used some upbeat music to keep you motivated too. You can order it at Chavez Cycling Indoor Cycling DVD and we'll quickly ship it to you anywhere in the world! Hope you enjoy it.

[xmag3kil1zx]

amazing qaulity

looks awesome!

[developerschoice]

thanks im using this video with my home trainer...very cool indeed

[LaPilotedeGTI]

Me too!!!

[gsbowhunter]

interesting.... a lot of time looking back !

[doubik2]

neat video, Joel. I think it would be better if--and this is easier said than done but--you rode at the front the whole time. No one cares what's going on at the back of the pack. The best part was when you're riding at the front and people can see who's attacking, etc.

[waspirate]

Awesome!!!
