Boy, what a motivation to watch your videos. Totally had no idea of riding my bike today ("Let's call it a restday, plus weather seems to be not so good ..."). 10min of watching this video: "F...k! Have to get on my bike. NOW!" Always the same ... 😁 Thx mate! Had a great ride today.
Damn, no way I would keep up with you guys! lol. Definitely motivated me to improve. I had to look twice seeing those numbers going UPHILL! Even my wife was like "Is that normal"? LOL 😆
@@M3Atelier-Initiative that's badass, do some hill repeats and this will get you pretty fast. Start at a decent pace uphill for a certain distance and keep increasing the distance and speed. Just make sure to recover, drink plenty and be safe.
@@indusrtial what grade do you recommend to learn and get fit? I do the back side of the Train Museum at Griffith and I absolutely suck! I don't stop but I feel like I'm doing something wrong or just not fit enough
I like it at the end when you are rolling at 42-43 mph after the last climb with the final 4, and you are flicking your elbow letting them know to pull through.... LOL Super-Tuck was the only way past you for just 1 of the boys 😉 and that Sprint finish where you finally got the Win for that ride was a RAD effort for sure. Deep video!!
Massa viu queria que aqui tivesse umas estradas assim para gente pedalar sem sem estar subindo e descendo remendo na estrada aí tá bom demais que estrada massa gostei da câmera também muito
Rouvy is testing VR indoor cycling. In 5-10 years it will be on the market as VR helmets and technology improve and videocards get stronger and cheaper (VR needs 4K resolution per eye at minimum, so we need a videocard to produce 8K in total).
It's a beautiful route. But I must say that the PCH is becoming wrecked by too many cars and too much construction along the beach. Congrats on that full gas.
Beautiful video, and inspiring riders, but you guys deserve safer roads. My heart rate climbed just watching a river of high speed traffic sliding by on the left. Come on, California, get it done.
Shout out to Mr SAFA Brian! You are the GOAT!, years and years of riding, self improvement and careful tweaking! You are an inspiration dude because your explosive drive and quick actions count, watching your decisive moves ensured your outcome!! This was pleasurable viewing!!
Fast ride, you are definitely fit. I use to do the Montrose ride when I was your age and older. Can’t do it anymore. How would you compare these two rides in speed and hardness? I’m curious. Thanks!
I think Montrose (the second half of it ~ return leg) is harder. The Now Ride isnt easier, but the climbs are. The punchy climbs on the Montrose route are leg snappers _ especially if you ride with the 8:30a group. You'll find yourself chasing a bunch of L39ION riders.
Great stuff this 77 year old ex-racer with Afib loved it. Be safe out there. Thank you. Leave your helmet on, I have seen more than a few go down just rolling in after a hard ride. One fellow just about lost a finger, another guy a broken hip, and a young woman lost her life rolling into a park at a food stop and a car took her out. She had just taken off her helmet after a hard 50. Be safe out there all the time. Did I mention his third broken hip.
I know Garmin's VIRB Edit lets you do something like that. You'll need your ride's .fit file. Though I'm also interested to know if he used that or something else.
Sitting on 40-50km b4 the climb I must admit it's faster than I could manage and to much traffic for my liking, love the 360 view and I feel like I'm there. Loving the blue sky.
Back in the day - way back in the day, Saturday morning the Simi Vally ride, Sunday morning the Death ride up the coast and back from Santa Monica like this ride and or the shorter yet hillier Le Grange/Nichols Canyon ride into the Hollywood Hills. Like this ride, plenty of top professional racers enjoying the SoCal sun away from Europe. Rumored that the death ride was named that not co's it was stupid fast, but co's a rider or two were killed on that ride. Always dangerous with unpredictable PCH traffic plus riders well above their skill level.
safa did not try to position itself along the way from the back of the truck and get into a protective environment from the wind, where from the back of the truck you can reach the speed of a truck on a flat 100-120 km, guys, survive from the back of the truck!!
Safa is definitely strong, but I have a different take. Safa can’t ask his fellow rider if he’s going to win today as usual, then sit back the entire ride w/o pulling, while the guy he was speaking with, is up at the front pulling and stomping, and then pass him the last 500 meters. I’m sure if the other rider sensed that Safa was racing him, he would have sat up and forced Safa to pull too. So, Safa should have kept filming and let him have it. He and two others were doing all the work. IMHO
I rode with you on my couch. Really nice as I like to roadbike and also like to watch other regions (houses, streets, surroundings etc.) in google maps. LA is so far away and I will never be able to ride there. So such a video is a nice thing (y). Thank you
It's winter where I live and I would do anything to ride with a group makes me miss summer so much lol 😂 looks so fun. Got myself a cannondale caad 5 switching to a specialized this new year so.
That was soooo good to see a Safa win, I was on the edge of my seat at the end lol. I had to cycle back from work at midnight in the pouring UK rain, crack a beer when I landed and finish the video. New to this channel but absolutely loving the content. No gonna lie, some of the videos scares the sh$t out of me so please stay safe and continue forever. Peace out man X
I have absolutely no experience in group rides and it always amazes me how comfortable everyone is riding in a pack at such high speeds. Going 45 mph downhill and just sort of existing with each other is a thing I've not yet learned how to do.
