TOPANGA CANYON, LOS ANGELES - Ben Foster and Michael Muhney Return for some "WEIRD SH*T"
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 фев 2025
- 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.

Now I know what to go ride in Topanga and what to look out for. Thanks Phil!
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.
I doubt it was your fault. ;)
@@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.
Landis disgraced the cycling world 🤷♂️ hashtag notclean
haha love riding topanga and old topanga. Used to literally ride it 3x a week. I actually didn't know all this trivia about all the stuff along the way lolz.
Ah. My neighborhood. I didn't know some of this stuff. Thanks guys. I love how you're casually chatting while climbing some of those hills.
Go get that KOM. Do it for Ben! Keep it in the family. Can't let these pros have all the fun (and KOMs).
Rick Denman is the Great Wall guy, I think.
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.
Nice to see the old gang back together. That fire station though. lol
A frame mounted pump. Not many ot them left.
Will Geer was Grandpa Walton
the guy with the orange in the Rapha advert is Miguel Indurain's son haha
As the feral parrot flies. That's how I'll say if from now on!
I kept expecting to see Van Neistat's driveway.
Do Laurel Canyon next please, hear there was some weird scenes inside the canyon back in the 60’s
Laurel is pretty sketchy to ride the traffic is pretty fast and wheel grabbing gaps in the road.
Or Benedict Canyon? 😬
Yeah a lot like topanga it’s all about the side streets
... there were* some scenes
I believe the feral parrots are called conures. We have a ton of them in Brentwood, too. (Super annoying when they are up early and screeching away.)
those cuts had me rolling. haha
They may have paved paradise, but...did they put up a parking lot?
Wow. That was psychedelic 😆
The newly improved Arty® Phil 👍
Thought I’d give it my 27 min attempt before watching your 12 min one lol
"do they fight??" lol
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
Goodr is my sponsor for glasses! These cycling ones are only $45 and I like them a lot
@@worstretirementever Amazing -- thank you! I so appreciate it. Enjoy the rest of your weekend :)
"weird shit coming up" fucking absolute journalism lmao 💀
That abandoned boat on Old T. It always screws with me every time I see it. The most bizarre shit up those ways. Too much ganja up there.
I lived off old Topanga in the ‘80s when there was a huge downpour and the creek flooded the road and that boat, well it might have been briefly useful.
It's amazing how fit Ben is, considering he doesn't ride as much as he used to. He can talk normally even when climbing.
Realy.
Where's Van Neistat when you need him? He lives in Topanga Canyon
The spirited man approves this video
"Pigs On the Wing" that Pink Flying Pig was invented by Pink Floyd in 1977 for their Animals Tour they had a Giant 150sq ft Pink Pig on a cable Flying Over their Arena Concerts! Far Out Man this is Soo Much better than The Dbl Century in Florida haha
Topanga: "The Home of Flying Pigs and Pussy Cats"
Dude, Will Geer was Grandpa Walton....but before your "time", I guess.
Oh that Ben Foster.
Yesss, beat Cam Wurf!!!!!! PLEASE
you could literally be in Fairfax, CA.
I have lived in both places and you are so right.
@@mikemcmahon3625 lol thanks! I thought was losing my mind!
where all the crazies live!
Luke Skywalker would win!
My donkeys fall below weird shit status. Weird, but not that weird
yup that's some wired s**t
Please more weird shit and pigs!
Trespassing laws doesn't apply to feral cyclist
... laws don't* apply
✌🏽💖🇺🇸🎸
