Welcome to my channel, where I share my fun adventures in action sports across road, dirt, and snow.
San Jose Perseverance Ride '25 (Mt. Umunhum to Mt. Hamilton)
Embarked on a personal cycling challenge that rivaled the Rapha Day in Hell Ride. I’ve dubbed this ride as the San Jose 🖤 Perseverance Ride aka the South Bay Double-shot!
This route features two of my local mountains, Mt. Umunhum and Mt. Hamilton. If climbing both mountains in one day wasn’t challenging enough, the route connects both mountains by passing over two incredibly steep roads (Metcalf Rd and the east San Jose legend, Quimby Rd.)

Turkey Day Ride Los Gatos 2024

Here's my experience at the 2024 Turkey Day Ride. This group ride is an annual (unorganized) event that starts in downtown Los Gatos and climbs up Kennedy Road to the Kennedy trailhead. From there, you climb up the steep trail to the mountain summit, where hundreds of people gather to drink beer and wine and eat food. Finding at least one fully cooked pig and other fancy treats is common! *Foll...

Los Gatos Kennedy-Limekiln Trail Loop (Gravel Biking Session)
Beast mode!! 💪🏾
The sound effects from the guys descending past you definitely caught me off guard.
Great effort! I visited Mt. Umunhum when it was still functioning as a radar station. Don't remember much; need to try to find some of Dad's photos from that day! Thrilled it's open as park land with a fantastic new(ish) road. SO MUCH BETTER than the old road I used to ride! 8:45 is how I usually do Umunhum these days!!! Nice G Series Targa!!!
Doing Mt Hammy alone was a struggle for me. Great ride Sir!
Amazing ride sirr! Really fun to watch! Thanks for filming and editing this!
That's some crazy elevation. Congrats on the ride! Quimby is definitely the tougher way to get up Hammy !
Well done! Great show!
smouve shots, smouve music! You got a supporter in me my g 🫡
Good stuff. I’ve done Mt Ham + Mt. Diablo and Mt. Diablo + Mt Tam. This is a MUST to do for me!
Congrats! Great edit capturing the adventure!! Did this ride earlier this year, also leaving from WG but cutting back across San Jose on Willow / Story rd to the bottom of Hamilton. See you on the road.
Fantastic video! Loved the overall vibe and good editing too. Keep 'em coming!
@mihailc.1738 38 minutes ago Awesome ride, congrats! Inspirational. I’ve done both summits but individually. Never thought to link them. I think it could also be fun to start w Mt. Hamilton, from Alum Rock (East San Jose), summit Hamilton, then return on Quimby, San Phelipe Rd. to Metcalf, and then Umunhum, and back. What kind of training do you usually do, before events like this?
Gentle climb ? Just did mt Hamilton and I was exhausted longest climb I’ve ever done
Well Done! We mortals will be happy to do just one of them! All 4 mountains are iconic South Bay Area climbs.
Nice a$$ kicking ride! Keep it up!
If you're looking for an awesome cycling trip during the holiday season, Maui is the place!! The Pedal Imua event is a great way to circle the beautiful West Maui Loop while taking in the breathtaking views. In 2024, Pedal Imua is going to offer a gravel version of this event - that is not to be missed!
I'm a glutton and keep going up Kennedy to Woods, but man that Woods descent is awesome. I use it as my Powerline descent simulation for Leadville.
This looks incredible! Any idea who puts this event on? I've never seen or heard of it before, and I always ride in this area. Great video and commentary - keep up the good work!
Thanks, man! Same here! I ride in the area frequently and never heard of it until 2023. The ride isn't organized. It's pretty much a potluck ride, but has a ton of local notoriety. You should check out the Facebook group for it. Thanks for watching!
If you live in the Bay Area, you definitely should check out the Turkey Day Ride in Los Gatos! 🦃
That is one of the worst “gravel” routes put together 🤦🏾♂️ I don’t understand why everyone wants to ride West Sac and along the southern portion of the river when there are much better trails and fun to be had around Sac State and further north/northeast along the river. I guess this is gravel for roadies? SMH.
Nice! You should do Das Hugel in Austin next lol!
I'd never heard of that ride until you mentioned it. I just looked it up... that route looks brutal! 🤣 I'll put it on my ride list for when I visit Austin. Cheers!!
Good video. I like that you showed some of the logistics at the beginning. Considering doing this myself but am a little intimidated by the hills. I did a dry run of it on my own and it took most of the day. The hills (for me) were tough. This past summer I did my first GFNY in Sweden and it was great but pretty flat. Looking forward to my next.
Thanks for watching! You should definitely do this ride! The hills aren't bad at this event. There's 2 steeps climbs, but over all, it's small rolling hills throughout. I'm jealous that you got to do GFNY Sweden! I'd like to go back there someday and ride.
Speedy Recovery, did you do a video on how or what event it happen at?
Yup, check out Part 1 where I covered what happened. I'm working on part 3 this month which will be the final of the series and recap everything.
What's the max tire clearance, can it go up to 50mm?
It can go up to 47mm wide tires
The chain can be held on by the red plastic piece. It has a slight groove in it. Just route your chain like normal and it will hold it in place pretty well. Can still wrap the chain stay for protection.
Fantastic video, really enjoyed it! You were crushing it, man! I rode the 50 which at the time was my longest ride. I'm going to attempt the 100 next year I think although I'll be more at party pace.... who knows might even be DFL lol. Subscribed. I have my MS experience on my channel but it's a lot lot slower looking than your video haha
Thanks for the compliments and for watching! You should definitely do the 100 miler, you would get through it in no time at all. The Mid South has become one of my favorite gravel events. I'll check your channel out to view your MS experience! Cheers!
Looks a bit lighter than the Alan box but also bigger
Great video. Which distance did you do? Did you do it again this year?
Thanks! I attempted to do the 100 mile route, but didn't make the time cut off. I ended up completing the 70 miler. I didn't do it this year. I probably won't go back to this event again unless I go with a group. I live pretty far north of this area near San Francisco and the effort it took for me to attend this event was intense.
No one attempted to ride fixed ? For the challenge?
Who knows. There's no rules against riding fixed. But, I'm not sure why you'd want to in an event like this that has a decent amount of climbing.
Congrats on the ride! I've done Mt Diablo and Mt Tam but have not tried Mt Hamilton yet. Way to grind it out!
Thanks! You should add this to your ride bucket list. I recently rode Mt. Hamilton and Mt. Umunhum and will have a vid for that soon. (That was quite the experience!) 😅
Beautifully done! Reminds me of the natural beauty around us and the joy of why we ride!
Thank you! I 100% agree with you! I'm energized whenever I get to ride and experience the natural environment from outside of the car. Thanks for watching!
I just did my first gravel event. Heart of Gold in Nevada City. You should do it next year. Then there'd be two black guys in the event. Hahaha!
Haha! 😅 I've had this event on my list for a few years. I'm aiming to definitely do it next year! (And then there was two!)
haha Ill be there next year too.
Cool 👍
Welcome to NJ bro, a hussel here and a hussel there, but I love it!
Groovin to your vid and when you said you put on some dnb, got the sub. Keep pedaling!
Friend, what camera did you use and how did you carry it on the bike?
I guess the $ is worth it but worried bout them jus chucking my bike into the belly of the plane!!!!
That's was definitely a concern of mine. I've gotten over that fear as I've traveled with my Tarmac to numerous destinations without issue. I also add a bit of extra protection around the derailleur area using cardboard.
Good job!
Thats a great ride. I did it unsupported with a friend back in 2016 while planning our Ham/MtD/Tam ride. Going up the wall that is the backside of Ham cemented our choice of starting in SJ and finishing in SF.
That is a really beautiful bike!
This video is my second to last vlog entry. The next and final segment will cover my complete recovery journey in more significant detail.
I MIGHT HAVE TO POP OUT!
Done both peaks but in two separate times. 😂 Great video quality. What camera did you use?
What is it with cyclists recently having the flashing lights on their bikes switched on at daylight, while riding in a group and when there are no cars around? There is nothing more irritating than having a flashing light right in front of your eyes.
Couple things about that. 1. Depending on the ride, we're transitioning on/off road AND also, riding on roads that have car traffic. (In this particular video, the Mt. Tam area is packed with hikers and tourists.) 2. Most of us aren't even bothered by the light... we're too busy trying to survive the ride, and in this case, enjoying the stunning views and each other's company. 3. Drivers here on the west coast are AGGRESSIVE, so, the lights are necessary. We didn't start off riding on the trail, we road through San Francisco through touristville to get to the dirt.
I agree, the lights can be mostly pointless. However, really? You care that much to complain about someone wanting to feel safe on their bike? I can think of dozens of cycling things that are more irritating than a blinky light during the day.
@@smouvemouves Totally understandable. Thanks for the response. By my experience cyclists using flashing rear light in daylight just want to keep everybody from using their slipstream, that's why I was asking.
@@stoneybowmann Like so many cyclists watching their phones while riding? That is indeed more irritating. When I'm on my bike I have a near-hit with one of these zombies almost every time. You also cannot fend them off with flashing light because they never pay attention anyhow.
This was a great day. I'm rolling past you on the left at 1:16 ruclips.net/video/Wb1VnGV1Faw/видео.html
Great ride and gorgeous scenery. Just the right time of year while the Bay is still green!
I really wish it could look like that year around! Soon as May hits, the land turns back to brown rust 😅
Epic video!
I had colar bone surgery 5 days ago, go oversease in about 3 weeks are you being told to wear your sling 24/7 for 6 weeks ?
Easy climbs
Awesome!! Great Rapha Ride!!
