The first guest to contributor corner is Mervyn Hiebert. He originally contacted FulGaz asking when real road feel would be available, but before long (and before we’d implemented real road feel) he’d headed off and started recording some of his favourite rides. You may have tried some of his rides from Canada, Las Vegas or Mallorca. He’s captured some amazing experiences in some incredible locations. What you haven’t seen (yet at the time of writing) are his new 4K rides from France and Canada.
You can check out his rides in FulGaz by searching for Mervyn.

Your favourite FulGaz ride?
Ryder Hesjedal’s Tour de Victoria – the fact that I was able to successfully record an entire Fondo: 138 km at 5 hours was pretty special. Completing it on the trainer even more so!

Changes from time to time – right now Ready Player One. Love the nerdy 80’s references.
What you enjoy most about filming FulGaz rides?
