Goofing around on bikes and other stuff, mostly outside around Los Angeles. Watch my videos and they'll make you grow taller, have better posture and improve your positive chi*
Wow, that route looks amazing! I just moved to Glendale, and I’d love to try it out too. Could you share the GPX file for this route if starting from Glendale?
@@kuanyungchien5848 this ride we started just north of Pasadena but if you're in Glendale already just hop on Chevy Chase and go south. It dead-ends into the LA river bike path and then you can take that north to Griffith Park. If I find something on Strava that makes sense I'll post it up! Thanks for the feedback
@@planttheseed2129 The bike I'm on is a specialized Tarmac the SL6 sport model with Shimano 105 groupset. I did upgrade the wheels to Roval C38 as well
I'm surprised you didn't have a shot of me chilling on the side of the road on the Onyx return climb! I've done the event 4 or 5 times now, and never have I ever cramped so bad. Took me twice as long to finish that last big climb than the previous year. Legs were just not having it and were seizing/cramping without warning
Well done. FYI, when we ride 100 mile event and shorter training rides, we always have Emergen-C, 1000mg with vitamin C in our water bottles and carry extra in our pockets. Never have had cramps when using Emergen_C. Comes in several favors.
@@tronsteezz Ha. It got hot on the back! I was in the black triathlon suit. I pop up for a split second at 1:28. I’m not sure I was mentally prepared for the back side climbing. Ha. Watching your video, I’m realizing that I should have definitely stopped at Onyx 1. We had same stops as you otherwise. Looking forward to next year.
Nice. Thx for capturing the sights and reliving the memorable day! Heading up to Mammoth this year? Think I spotted the Cal Pass Challenge number plate. If so, see you there!
Thanks Robert the route we took was about 45 miles and 5600ft of climbing. You can find it easily by checking Google maps. Start at glendora mountain road near palm in glendora and take it up to glendora ridge road and continue straight until you reach baldy village. Have fun out there!
