I don’t typically like these full ride type of videos but the way you made this video is so high quality and it’s really 😎. And it also helps a lot to know what to expect. Thank you again. Keep up the good work. I know it’s a lot of work.
I rode this back in 2018, but I don't remember taking the long way around the marina. Whew!. Someone showed me a shortcut apparently. I started in Manhattan Beach and rode past Venice. I remember just using the street from the marina to Washington Ave.
Love this! I did this ride when visiting once, down and back starting from where you finished on a rusty hybrid rental… just before hermosa beach I thought my quads were going to explode … was challenging
Well done friend! Completing this ride without an E-bike, on a rusty rental. Nice! The one way ride is extremely nice (I find the wind to be behind you when riding in the direction of this video) but if you hit the coastal headwind on the way back that's guaranteed to be a quad buster!
Training for weight loss, so this route is part of a 100 mile ride i do twice a week. My heart rate is off the charts the whole time, and ive crashed a couple of times overcooking sandy sections. This video is in some ways more enjoyable than the actual ride, just kick back and enjoy 😊😊😊
Thank you so much! Love getting comments like this one. It’s definitely a hard ride all the way through 💪 I’m glad you’re able to kick back with the video!
The bike path near the new Trader Joe’s in Marina del Rey is now open as of 2020 at mile 1.6 / 1.7 of Part II of the video. You must have filmed this a year or so ago. It will be a nice stop once all the amenities are completed.
Thanks for posting this video. I regularly ride Marina del Rey to Torrance Beach and back (26.3 mi.), but I was looking for a way to tag on some add'l miles without having to ride into Palos Verdes (hills!!), so I'm now considering doing this ride as an out-and-back for a 43-mi. ride. Thanks and keep enjoying the great bike rides!
I’m excited for you to try the full ride! It does get quite busy through Santa Monica/Venice and then opens up from Marina Del Rey. Be aware of that and you’ll have a great time! + it’s very flat the entire route along the coast. No need to enter palos verdes. Thanks for watching!
Amazing how much info you added to this. I've ridden this path basically my entire life and wanted to add a few notes: • Do all you can to avoid riding this path between SM Pier and Venice/Washington Blvd. on a summer weekend. It's a death trap. More congested than you can possibly imagine and so many people are beyond clueless. • Instead of crossing Admiralty Way and continuing on the path through the parking lots, I've always felt it's much safer to turn left on Admiralty and ride that stretch in the road. Plenty of room. Going back the other way is a little tougher for novice/path riders because you have to make that left from Fiji and there's not as much room on Admiralty. • The bridge over Ballona Creek used to be a sublime stopping point. So many interesting people hanging out, riders of all levels. They fenced up the sidewalk years ago and I guess aren't planning to bring it back. Such a shame. • If you have a choice of starting from the south or starting from the north, start from the south. The wind will be MUCH friendlier.
Hey, great video. I am using it to get to know the route before I come and do it later this year. Quick question. On the middle section the tree rectangles with the different classes comes up. What do those classes mean please?
just wondering, is it easy to get monetized to do these types of videos. i am a newbie on youtube and am thinking of doing the same kind of thing. what camera do you recommend: gopro10, 360 degree camera, both or something else? thank you.
Excited to hear you want to start a channel! To be completely honest. From my experience it can be difficult with this type of content. But if you focus on quality over quantity you will get there. RUclips takes a lot of commitment outside of your usual life. Think of it as a 2nd job. Learning about equipment, your filming style, learning editing software, uploading, social media etc etc. There’s a lot that goes into it. It takes a ton of time to develop! My advice (and what I did) is to not worry about monetizing when starting out. Like at all. Focus on creating content that adds value to your potential viewers. Even if it’s just one person. Because even when a channel reaches the minimum threshold for monetization it’s still pennys per day. So imo helping others is more valuable than the income you will initially receive. I use the GoPro suit of camera to film all my videos and adobe premier pro to edit! I hope this helps. You can always reach out via the channels email address if you want to continue the conversation! Happy to give what advice I can give 🙂
thanks so much for the info. to be specific, how long (in months) and number of views/subscribers did it take before you started making even just a few pennies. then, how long and how many views/subscribers did it take before you made over $100 per month? thank you so much. i am totally new into all of this. oh, lastly, do i need to get that software to edit. i just want to upload the socal beach riding videos with music. not sure how i would do that yet.
@@mistyluv261 The minimum threshold to monetize a new channel is 1k subscribers and 4K watch hours in the last 12 months. I don’t know when I’ll reach a $100p/m. I’m not there yet. You will need software. iMovie works for very very basic edits but is good because it comes pre installed on a Mac. Adobe premier pro is the ultimate editing software but it does come with a monthly subscription fee. However it’ll add way more professionalism to your uploads. Hope that helps!
@@mistyluv261 oh and yes, it took 4 years for me to even hit that minimum threshold. However, depending on how good you are at marketing/social media/promotion you could and likely would get there way faster. That was something I neglected/didn’t prioritize at all. My focus remained on just making a good base Of quality videos and I naturally saw more viewers as time went on. Quick growth was never the most important consideration for me. There are a ton of marketing/promotional tutorials all over Yt you can learn from!
Thanks for the question. I was peddling the whole time when recording this, no E-bike. But that's a great option. Truthfully, when I was in the tunnel I was still on my bike (to maintain recording quality, the camera bounces when I walk) but slowed way down to walking speed. Well under 5mph.
Planning to bike this trail from Manhattan to Venice Beach and back. Just curious, why are you off trail at Venice beach to Marina del Rey? Does the Marvin Braude Bikeway gets cut off there? Thanks in advance!
Great question! So Marina Del Rey itself acts as a break in the coastline. The path has to veer away from the coast and around the entire marina to reconnect with the bikeway in Playa Del Rey and on to Manhattan beach. This is the official route and why the video goes “off trail”.
Follow the video from 27:35. I have directions that should be clear enough to guide you. If not! There are signs throughout this section of the Bikeway that should also help. Take a look at google maps before you go on the ride and you’ll be fine!
Thank you for the excellent video. I'll be visiting LA in a week and plan to ride from Torrance to Santa Monica Pier and back. Now I know I should be expecting some pedestrian traffic and lot of sand along the way. Looking forward to abundant sunshine and ocean breezes too! And is helmet optional in LA? I'd say 90% of cyclists in the video were not wearing a helmet.
Wonderful! I hope you have a great time. The weather is beautiful right now! Helmets are not required for anyone 18+ in California unless you are riding an E-bike!
nice video.. i get to show my mom the ride i do! Q..are the colors bc if speed limits?? if so can i go as fast as i want anywhere since the border of the entire map is black? thanks!
Glad you can show your mom the ride! The colors on the mini-map only indicate crossing from one city border to the next. For example as your ride from Santa Monica to Venice Beach the color changes from green to red. Most speed limits on bike paths are normally no higher than 10-12mph. Pay attention to those signs. I hope that answers your question!
@@TrailsofCalifornia got my bike today and did it from brentwood to that end and back, 46.9 miles(3:36hrs)! wont be able to walk tomorrow but it was the best! thanks for the motivation! had a little range anxiety at the end but the pas 2 and 3(mine goes to 5) most of the way, no throttle really
@@TrailsofCalifornia nope, did another 20 yesterday, took San Vicente to the beach and up to that north end then back to venice then BW, its perfect! so lucky we live here! cheers

I have agree with David. Don't really care for super long ride videos but you did a banging job on this one. Great work!!!!

This is so well done! I just relocated and wanted to get an idea of the trail route before venturing out, this was perfect!!! Thank you!
Thank you for your comment! Enjoy your ride on the beach!
Fantastic! Many thanks for making and sharing this.
This video was nice to watch next time i will adventure towards Santa Monica thanks for sharing.

What is the name of the trail, thanks.
@@xelamashup Marvin braude bike trail/bikeway. Google either and you will find it!
That is so cool you have the rest stops noted. Planning a trip in the spring - also appreciate the metro connections.
I hope you have a great trip!
Excellent Video 👍🏻🔥🏃
Great ride. Beautiful Southern california.rog. Pacific sunset records.
Top-notch beach bike tour guide if you can recommend some street foods/cafes along the way.

Great Video. 2 Questions: Are you peddling or using an Ebike? Next, in the Redondo Beach Tunnel, are you walking or riding the bike extremely slow?

Strava and google maps.
Was this pre Covid?
Great question! And yes, filmed in segments between early 2018 - February 2020! 👍
