2026 SEVEN GRAVEL RACE in Nannup COULD have gone better 😅

G'day Legends! This is my attempt at the 2026 Seven Gravel Race held in the beautiful little town of Nannup, Western Australia. Congratulations to everyone who finished, especially those who podiumed or qualified for worlds. Man this was a tough race! My goal for this year was to go sub six hours, and icing on the cake would be to beat young Anthony from work 😅 And after last years effort I felt a little better prepared, plus training had gone fairly well, so I thought I was in for a chance 🤞 Also this year I was back on my Giant XTC carbon hardtail and although I do love this bike, I must admit I had some real envy for all the beautiful looking gravel bikes out there. Especially when they rolled past on some of the more gentle downhills and I'm pedalling like a silly bugger to keep up with them! Anyway it wasn't all bad, the extra gears were a help and probably the envy of some gravel riders. Everything came a little unstuck though when I damaged my deraileur after dropping a chain and rushing to get back on. 17:25 I hope you enjoy this video and that it helped you relive your experience, or motivated you for next year 🙏 Thanks for watching!
