  • Topanga Canyon is a gateway for cyclists from LA into the great hills of Malibu. The land there is beautiful, and the culture is unique. Ben Foster was Phil's regular training parter for a few years until he moved away, but he returns for a nice ride and a tour of his old neighborhood. If you're visiting, Topanga can be heavy with car traffic so I don't recommend it. It's not a great ride in itself so let this video be your tour. Head up Fernwood or onto Mulholland from there instead.

    My former home of 10 years, you passed right by where I lived, and worked. Then at the end, you finally reached my all-time favorite climb in the Santa Monicas - Fernwood. That route, on up to Saddle Peak, is glorious. I met and took a photo with Floyd Landis at Saddle Peak. In fact, two days after that day he announced his retirement from professional cycling.

      @@paulguyot9318 To get him to pose with me, I said (actual quote), "I need a picture taken with a Tour de France winner." He visibly grimaced, but I continued, "Yes, a winner of the Tour de France." So, while I appreciate you trying to deflect any blame away from me, the coincidence suggests otherwise.

      Floyd was riding with two others, all wearing Maxxis Ouch kits. Photos with time and date stamp exist as proof.

    Love the videos - inspiring! Do you recommend a particular pair of cycling glasses? I’ve used my old xc running ones for a decade now but need to get some that don’t obstruct the view of the tarmac. Would love your experienced Recommendations

    The Topanga area is the best hidden jewel for cycling, I ride twice a week there. Definitely mimosas iced coffee and their bacon burritos are really great if you need food. Find me on strava under Manny Perez.
