    Dude! We need a rundown of the glasses loadout. I swear you have a new pair every video.
  • @RahLoh
    can i just say, that shade of yellow is just chefs kiss
  • Good to have you back,Poppy . Can’t wait to watch this video, but I was getting a little concerned because I hadn’t seen any content and you are by far my favorite YouTube creator.
  • @PumpkinVillage
    A lot of good info in here. Looked like some fun riding. Just was looking a some bibs for colder weather riding. Your videos are so well done and you have some impressive ink. Thanks for the video and the ideas for my Christmas list. Take care, Al
  • @GodfreyGuitar
    I love your videos! Even when you're doing a product review of something I'm not in the market for (yet), I'll watch one of your videos anyway because they're a ton of fun! You obviously put a lot of time and effort into editing your videos, and it shows.
  • @tuplawee313
    It just gets weirder and weirder. I like it!
  • @JDWink
    I am a dirtbag and have never washed gloves! I ride over race but still get angry every time someone passes me! Great vid!
  • @lbgstzockt8493
    Firmly on the "ride" side of the world, there is enough competition in daily life, plus I am not even close to fast enough to compete in anything.
  • @adamhart9555
    Embarrassed to say but just started washing or at least rinsing my gloves after a ride. Also a ride guy. Being a larger human that can’t get below 220 lbs if I tried I only ride events, no race pace for me. Love the video! Your riding videos are my favorite by far and inspire me. Thanks DK!
  • Definitely Race Mode. The glove thing, yessir, I have even changed into new gloves mid way. Fresh Hands, Fresh Mind!
  • @obikedog
    I wore the same [Santini] bibs on a 10 day trip this summer during a heat wave. 100% - when I finish a day's riding in hot, humid, buggy conditions I want and AC'd room and shower to recover (and clean my kit!) They are by far my most comfortable chamois I've ever tried. I also wore them at Unbound this year - stupidly - I bought them at the expo!
  • @hugorivera9738
    I feel like this is the opposite of pathlesspedal’s philosophy which I mostly subscribe to. I know Dustin does ad’s but idk how I feel anymore about people not being able to separate riding bikes / story telling without having to push an ad. I understand they have to make money somehow. I just don’t know how I feel about it. Everything is some product. I don’t want to look at my bike and think “what can I buy to make it better?” Still enjoy Dustin’s attitude and charisma.
  • @H0lland0ates79
    Great video as always DK! Watching your vids has inspired me to take up cycling at 44 years young. Never realized the cost of the hobby tho 😰 currently saving for my first $1500-2000 gravel bike😊
  • @JoeCincotta307
    Bravo, buddy! I personally throw my riding gloves in the wash with my kit after every ride. Especially during the summer months here in New York, where it is a little steamy and humid.
  • @kramttocs5763
    Gloves hit the wash every few rides, but maybe a good hand wash with them on after every ride is the move !
  • @ekajnitram
    Saniderm for the win, use it when I get tattooed and I heal so much faster with it.
  • Glove washer !! But not as often as every ride, which is my fault. Ride more race,but still like to cut loose every now and then 😂
