Cycling Pasadena to Hollywood - Vlog Style Weekend Ride
Took some familiar roads and some new ones this weekend on our way to Hollywood looking for stars and glory. We didn't see any famous people but we did have a nice ride with some good climbs and a refreshing break from the oppressive heat we have been experiencing this summer.
Took a different approach this time and left the go-pro at home so this is more of a vlog style recap with more updates through our ride but less music backed riding sequences. (I'm sorry this also means less downhill footage, I'm not skilled enough to descend with my phone in one hand).
Leave me some feedback if you prefer this style or not.
Thanks for watching, Keep enjoying life and remember to get some fresh air....

Tour de Big Bear Century Ride 2024 - 100 miles 8,000 ft of Climbing
Просмотров 8 тыс.14 дней назад
Back at it again with the white Vans. We hit Big Bear Lake up and it hit back. This event is near and dear to my heart, as it was one of the first big events that got me into road cycling. This year was our 1st time riding the 100 mile course, and it didn't disappoint. The first half of the ride went pretty smooth and fast, we arrived at the halfway point at the top of Onyx in just around 3 hrs...
Angeles National Forest - Cycling from La Canada to Mt. Wilson

Filmed the day after stage 20 in the 2024 Tour de France; Inspired by American rider Matteo Jorgenson's awesome hill climb performance, we set out to do some climbing of our own. Mount willski schwillski (as the locals call it) or Mount "Wilson" as the historical society prefers, is the only man-made mountain in the trans-san Gabriel mountain range found in Ft. Lauderdale California. The route ...
Glendora to Baldy Village cycling on an overcast Memorial Day
Просмотров 2,5 тыс.Месяц назад
GMR is by far my favorite road climb (and descent!) on the east side of LA. It really checks all the boxes for me: Steady climb, scenic mountain views, twisty fast descent, and on a day like today (Memorial Day 2024) the road is closed to motorized traffic but open to cyclists and pedestrians. I'm not sure if it's closed like this all holidays or just the major ones, but in either case it's a v...

This clip follows my partner down Glendora Mountain Road from the first ridge below the shack to the lower gate. She's making big progress lately with her descending especially the right hand turns and body positioning. Overall this road is one of our favorite climbs and descents in the Eastern LA County area. You can park in the neighborhood below dalton fire station in the city of Glendora an...

Mt. Lukens Trail to Earl Canyon junction and back down: Mountain Biking in Pasadena from NASA JPL
Просмотров 773 месяца назад
Last week the weather was nice and cool so we decided to climb some of Mt. Lukens truck trail from the JPL trailhead area. Our route took the left fork from the JPL trailhead up Gabrielino trail to Gould Mesa trail. From there we had a short climb on Angeles Crest Hwy (HWY 2) to the fire station where Mt. Lukens truck trail begins (there's water on the left as you pass the fire station if you c...
LA Tourist Race Beginner 2024-3 Angeles national forest gravel cycling
Просмотров 2854 месяца назад
First gravel bike race for us! When I first started seeing info on this race a few years ago it immediately struck me as something I wanted to try. The premise is: Start and return to Let's Ride Cyclery in Burbank CA while hitting checkpoints (GPS coordinates where books are stashed) in the mountains surrounding LA, no set route, self supported ride any bike you like (as long as it's not an E-B...

Woke up and went for a bike ride with some friends down a few of my favorite Altadena mountain bike trails. Filmed some of it on this vintage hero5 potato I found buried in the yard. edited on archeology software using a graphing calculator and five lemon batteries. The bike I ride is a 17' Santa Cruz chameleon "D" NX with factory rockshox recon 32 120mm and an extra tube strapped to it for loo...
Verdugo and Beaudry fire roads: Glendale CA Mountain Bike ride raw unedited footage
Просмотров 1737 месяцев назад
Exploring this trail system above Glendale California. Climbing was 10% average grade, wide smooth fire road although much of the north facing switchbacks felt crisp and cold in this early January shade. This is unedited GoPro footage from Tongva Peak and our decent down from Verdugo Peak (3100ish feet according to the Garmin) to the Beaudry loop trailhead. Total out and back climb to the peak ...
Glendora Mountain Road cycling on April fool's day (No joke)
Просмотров 50Год назад
We got tired of getting jokes played on us, so we went outside and rode our bikes. Glendora Mountain Road or GMR is one of my favorites here in So-Cal. This time is no exception, the skies were blue the mountains had dusts of snow on them and the mountains were green dotted with yellow wildflowers. pretty stoked indeed. We're members of Eliel cycling's factory team and this weekend was a climbi...
"Curry soup" - Our Sunday hike got snowed in and we walked farther than we meant to.
Просмотров 62Год назад
Quick Sunday walk turned into a little longer hike when we reached the snow and everyone got excited. Ended up climbing about 1900ft (from the Chaney trailhead) and hiking about 4.8 miles up mount Lowe road just outside Los Angeles. Total round trip back to the trailhead was about 9.6 miles. The puppy got all tuckered out by mile 6 and had to be carried the rest of the way down. She was pretty ...

This is another quick edit of one of my favorite short trail loops in Pasadena. Starting near the NASA Jet propulsion laboratory (JPL) just north of the rose bowl, I take Fern truck trail to Lower brown mountain trail which leads to Millard campground and then Chaney trail road back into town. I may do another video at some point with a more detailed tour of the trail splits, for now I hope you...

Is 2 large water bottles enough for this ride?
@@Harrison.Michael this time two was enough, when it's really hot you might want to bring more depending on how much you normally need.
Looks fun, definitely want to do this next year. Have you done the Mammoth fondo? Wondering which is best between the two
can you share the route please? :-)
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
Looks like a really good ride
@@willisix2554 yeah it was fun. Thanks!
Very nice. What bike are you riding?
@@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
Pickle juice bro. from the feed. it'll help cramps
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
@@theFatTubist yeah dude it was hot that day! I feel you on the cramps. It was challenging for sure, but we did it right!? That's what matters.
@@tronsteezz 💯
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.
Im thinking about doing the Santa Barbara ride. Likely going solo.
@@jfloresdrums thinking about that one too. Gibraltar looks gnarly. Say hi if you see us.
WOW! So much climbing. Maybe ill get there next year? Im 3 months into cycling and love it!
Great riding! I road near you guys out on the course. So hard. So fun!
@@carver78 yes definitely! Was that you in the speed suit? I was jealous, I definitely over packed for this one! Lessons learned I guess.
@@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.
@@carver78 yeah it was rough for sure. Good seeing you out there. Congrats!
@@tronsteezz likewise!
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!
@@JesusDavila74 yes no problem! Planning on riding mammoth as well, you're correct.
@@tronsteezz - Excellent. I hope we encounter dry roads this year!
How long did it take you?
@@mikebayless4268 our total time ended up being about 8hrs
That is me on the other side of the road at 5:36 5:37 in the red and green watermelon jersey and yellow helmet.
That's awesome! Great ride and good eye to catch yourself so quickly!
I think you’re the guy I was talking to afterwards. You do train stuff?
Hey yeah we were sitting next to you! My buddy is the train guy, really enjoyed meeting you and chatting bikes and training.
100 miles and 8k of climbing. Respect!
🙏⚔️🇺🇸
What bike do you have? I have the tarmac with 26.
How fo you like your 30s compare to 28s?
@@j.melena46 the 30c is just a little bit wider and taller. Very small difference but I like them for comfort and rough road surfaces.
Great ride. How many miles is it? And is your route available online? Thank you.
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!
Can I do that on a cheap hybrid bike? I'm very strong.
Go for it! I believe in you!
nice job!
Amazing! You guys are terrific!
Amazing! You guys have so much stamina!
Great to see you having fun!
