The Complete Rig for a 500km Unsupported Ride | Road to Gravel Burn Episode 8

Every item on this bike earned its place. Ahead of a self-supported 500km-plus ultra-distance race with no aid stations and no route markings, Dave walks through exactly what's coming with him — from the kit built to handle a 30-degree swing in temperature, to the nutrition strategy built around 226ERS products, to the worst-case-scenario repair kit put together with help from Nick at Freewheel. Nothing here is guesswork. It's all been tested, questioned, and packed for a reason.0:00 — Unpacking the Rig: What's Actually Going On This Bike0:43 — The Kit: Bibs, Jacket, Shoes, Helmet & Glasses5:16 — Nutrition: The Fuelling Plan for 30 Hours in the Saddle8:23 — Hydration & Storage: Where Everything Actually Goes9:50 — Spares & Repairs: The Worst-Case-Scenario Kit14:19 — Lights, Navigation & Power: Surviving the Dark20:13 — Final Send-Off: The Distance Ahead# === LISTEN ON THE GO ===========================Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5GselFmeym7YgYXtcyPUXUApple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/active-hobo/id1846864699# === FOLLOW ACTIVE HOBO =========================https://linktr.ee/theactivehobo# === PARTNER LINKS ===================================Doolhof Wine Estatehttps://doolhof.com 🔗 Code: ActiveHobo (20% off wines)RH 77🔗 https://rh77.co.za226ERS 🔗 https://226ers.co.za/Code: ActiveHobo (10% off)SCICON🔗 https://theactivehobo.short.gy/sciconsports-discount (URL and 10% Discount code link)East City Cycles🔗 https://eastcitycycles.com/Gear Change Bicycle Store🔗 https://gearchange.co.za/# === THE CREW ===================================Dave @davlewjenkins# === MORE FROM ACTIVE HOBO ======================Latest episode: https://youtu.be/vSnCZ6pTguQ?si=4hvAobdbQznnyw10Full podcast playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLc2XIoaiAXafwoZykJM-jg6HnrLkWlJXHRelated episode: https://youtu.be/mgogDtiB_vg?si=RBaUt8VItbQisdTd# === WORK WITH US ===============================Sponsorships & collabs: david@activehobo.comSend a question for the show: noah@activehobo.com#TheActiveHobo #UltraCycling #SouthAfricanCycling #gravelrace
