100mi gravel race on a $100 bike

My buddy Nate and I had a bet about Schwalbe tires being being in stock last fall - and that ended with me doing SBT GRVL Blue on the bike of his choosing. He settled on a 2003 Giant Protege that he picked up on Craiglist because it was heavy and had a lot of undamped travel. Big thanks to Josh Bernales editing this video for me. Two days after SBT I crashed hard and smashed my humerus - which actually isn't all that humorous.
