7 days through Death Valley (Impossible Route Documentary)
The Impossible Route: Death Valley is a 7-day EPIC gravel cycling adventure over one of the hardest courses in the world. Two riders, Jeremiah Bishop and The Vegan Cyclist, attempt to ride bicycles along a well-established motorcycle course called “The California Backcountry Discovery Route (CABDR).
Using the Strava Route Builder (www.strava.com/subscribe/impossibleroute ) the riders charted a 760-mile gravel course inspired by the CABDR. Their route starts in Yuma, Arizona, traverses the Mojave Desert and the heart of Death Valley, and finishes in the shadow of the Sierras. This course had never before been attempted on bicycles, Both JB and VC had to carry all their tools, food, and wate...

Climbing Mauna Kea - Impossible Route HAWAII
Просмотров 39 тыс.11 месяцев назад
Mauna Kea is the world's largest volcano and has the objectively the hardest road climb up to the top. This cycling documentary looks at the gravel road up to the the top, which had never been done before. What makes this route so difficult is the combination of all factors. Distance, elevation gain, elevation peak, gradient, and road surface. With a peak elevation of 14,000 ft, the oxygen is o...

    I am reminded of the Arizona Challenge, a 325 mile ride I did twice in the 1980's. Actually I tried a first time and quit after 200 miles and the biggest of multiple climbs. When I finished the next time my wife supported me and within 60 miles of the finish I ran over a skunk. Another 10 miles and I fell over at a stop light while track standing. So the final 50 miles went well and I came into Tempe at the finish at 23:45. What a great ride! A year later I supported a out of town rider to about a17 1/2 hour finish.

    Considering that much better choices for bicycles and clothing could have been selected for this adventure, these must have been ignored for the drama that comes with poor gear choices. Better choices; 1.Fat tires bicycles 2.loose wearing clothing 3. More sufficient water carrying capacity.

    51:00, you are asking an existential question, "Who are the two voices in my head?" One is your egoic, lower self mind. The other is your higher Self; the one you always have been and will be. Great job on your channel and following your passion.

You and Jeremy and team are the benchmarks in adventure biking. Much love and respect for sharing and inspiring us .. BTW.. the Views and soundtrack..❤

    I used to live on Hawaii, and rode the route, including the wapio valley, to the summit at mauna Kea, and then back to Hilo weekly, it's not that tough. I also used to ride the east side route which is the reverse direction. Again not so tough, get a life, you make more of the ride than it deserves

    A friend and I hiked down mauna kea not on roads to our houses on the Hamakua Coast using a compass, no trail ...about 10 years ago. It took 13 hours. I lost both of my big toe nails and my pants were ripped up by the lava. Also Ive thought of a bike route from the saddle road turning off downhill on the mauna access road to the mana rd. above the hamakua coast direction. It's dirt road, no jungle (not going all the way to wiapio via mud lane and wiapio is local traffic only no walking or bikes now).. This doesnt include riding down from the top of mauna kea but one could. There are great views with the site where Botanist David Douglas (Douglas Fir named for him) was killed 200 years ago. Something of a cold case. There is a monument, sequoias and douglas firs planted there in his honor at about 6K ft. There are the rustic keanakolu cabins that can be rented thru the state parks, maybe midway, and near the cabins the road is really rough for a bit like 4 wheel drive, high clearance essential. The mana road eventually comes out near wiamea. Air is real thin up there at the top of Mauna Kea. Also vegan. ;) ...

    My friends and I used to ride Mnt bike down and up Waipio Valley Road often in the 90s. Back into the valley too. Mud Lane was way worse back in the day. We would downhill Mana Road from the Mauna Kea access road. I always wanted to do this route but life got in the way. Another ride was the Mauna Loa access road. The goal there was to do it entirely in the big chain ring. Good times. I've been on the summit of Mauna Kea in 100+ mph winds. It's no joke. Set up water and food stashes along the route to do this without a SAG vehicle. If it wasn't windy the heat would have done you in. I can't believe you allowed your feet and bikes to get soaked with saltwater. All you had to do was start from the high tide mark which is the beach/tree line. The health issues are more about people going from sea level to the summit in less than 2 hours. Your climb was as gradual as it can get 🙂 Congrats on this feat. I can relate to what it was like. I've done numerous extreme hikes and rides on this island. Wish you two were around 30 years ago so I had someone to take this on with.

      @lavapix 3 месяца назад

      @@mattyb808 Honestly, if me and my friends could do it any bike rider could. It's a short climb and yes, a leg burner. Riding from Otech to the top of Kaloko via Palisades is way more challenging in my book. Then there's Kaloko to the summit of Hualalai. All fun climbs 🙂
