I b the 80 year young 'Ol Ed mentioned at the end of the video and I had one of the best adventures any guy with the amount of Earthwalk Time I have accumulated could possibly have. // Thanx Linda and crew, and thanx Zack for allowin' me in yer terrific video. // Oh yeah, my beautiful and talented wife, Rebecca, now actually - & FINALLY - believes I DO ride my bike when I leave for a weekend. 😈
That is a highly underrated part of California. Major Central/Eastern Oregon vibes there with the forests and volcanoes, epic scenery, and much less crowded than most famous areas of the state. And don't forget the seemingly endless maze of gravel roads there...
Thanks for coming Zack and riding in our spectacular forest. Your video quality is top notch and made me feel so proud of our inaugural event. Lassen Land and Trails Trust, Susanville Area Bicycle Association and Bizz Running Company Productions can't thank you enough for your glowing review. We will be back next year for round two on Saturday, Sept 7th, 2024.
Even before riding, I could tell that everyone behind this event was sitting on something special and was eager to share this great experience. What a top-notch day and just think of all the great memories passed on! Thank you for letting us be a part.
Appreciate the video. Susanville is home in my heart, and seeing video of it's beauty, even now that I live in another state, is a good reminder of "home"
I’m in a Gravel Bike California video! 😂 So fun to meet you Zack! And 80 year old Ed was the coolest. I camped next to him the night before and learned so much about him. What an inspiration he is. Thanks for all the work you do to show off our amazing state.
A couple years ago, I went way out of my way to go to Susanville to ride the Bizz Johnson Trail. Got 8 miles into it, and trail was closed to clear fire damage. I was so bummed, and haven't been able to get back up that way.
@@GravelBikeCalifornia and you are from CA. I drove up there special from Palo Alto, and then had to drive back home to Mississippi. I almost ignored the sign, but the fines and penalties for getting caught in the keep out zone were just too high.
Thank you for your wonderful recap that helped me relive one of my best days on the bike. The great history lesson is post event icing on the cake. Good to meet up with you again. Already looking forward to a return trip 👍🏽
