Glad I found your channel!! I am pretty new and been running this from coyote creek in cerritos to seal beach and back. I've seen bikes and fishing buggies on the trail and had to dodge em around those corners but didn't even think to watch for a cart or person under the bridges. Now I know why a lot of riders go over the street. Take care
@@afasterme3182 we saw you at gmr we wanted to say hi. My son spotted you. For sure next time will do ;) we started watching your blog we learn a lot this ccouple years. We been doing montrose 745 long and 8am short plus the rosebowl ride. Thanks so much for the inspiration and sharing your knowledge.
Haha, your low intensity ride speed is my redline ride. I haven't rode my bike for a few years. I used to ride daily. Need to start riding again. Thanks for sharing the video.
Have you guys scene the turtles out there? The area by the electrical plant, the water is warm There are turtles in it If you ever stop there, you can actually see the turtles swimming.
@terbennett yes, we've seen them on the right just after the bridge one day. I didn't actually see them but some others did and there were a lot of people down in the river bed watching them from the rocks.
Hi, new to cycling. I see that you did this route and normally I do this solo. Was looking for a group to ride with around your pace. Can I get notified when you do local rides or is there a group that I can follow for up coming group rides? Thanks
@noellaranang6364 there are some great group rides to jump into in the area. Montrose, Bagel Ride, Cow Ride to name a few. We are a dedicated race team, so I currently do not have a social portion of the club. I will post some rides that are open to everyone though. Follow me in IG and let me know that you would like to join a ride and I'll send you an invite when appropriate.
@@afasterme3182 Dawn Champion and Roger EUC. Those are the two channels. I've literally seen her document herself going 52 miles an hour through an underpass at night where the homeless people are hanging out. Those electric unicycles come in at around 90 pounds. Could you imagine hitting a pedestrian who is not paying attention to the trail with a big heavy electric unicycle like that at speed? I sent them a note and told them that I thought it was completely reckless to be doing those kinds of speeds on a public trail like that. Take that kind of speed to Glendora Mountain Road or somewhere up in the mountains but not on that bike path. It really bothers me. Somebody's gonna get hurt.
Been wanting to try this bike path! I want to do my first century ride before the new year and considering this path starting from Azusa. I am not sure if I missed it in your video, but would you say the route is pretty flat, or is one way or the other uphill/downhill? Also, what time of day was this on Sunday?
@eyon1189 typically referring to power or heart rate zones. I prioritize power over heart rate, so if I'm speaking of zones, it's referring to power zones. Z1 = Recovery/low endurance Z2 = Endurance Z3 = Tempo/low threshold Z4 = Threshold Z5 = Vo2 Z6 = Anaerobic In a basic 6 zone system. This is just one system though.
@hectorleon7162 we normally ride straight out and back. We only stop at the beach to fill water bottles and we will occasionally stop at the golf course in Pico if someone needs the bathroom. Other than that, there is no resting. Resting would defeat the purpose of a long steady state endurance ride.
@@afasterme3182 thank you very much. I would like to join one of your rides one day. I usually go solo, but I see it’s a challenge going in a group. I think someone can compare and see what’s capable of accomplish.
@danovee9580 no, it's basically flat. The Strava profile is actually a bowl but in reality it rides very flat. As you ride back north, it becomes uphill for the last 10 miles or so.

This bike trail can be dangerous at times due to the clutter on the trail from the homeless encampment
Thanks again !!!!!!! Me and my son enjoy your blog
@@joeluis6069 my pleasure! If you ever see me on the road, make sure to introduce yourself.

@@joeluis6069 that's awesome!
It gets flooded going under Valley Blvd after a heavy rain. I found out the hard way. LOL
The headwind once you passed the bridge and getting close to seal beach is no joke. You'll be doing over 380W and barely hit 20mph
@asiantrick24 sometimes it feels like a headwind coming and going.
Been ridding it since 1980s,very nice,,
Been riding this route since 1999,,, stop at Chalan’s bicycle rest stop. Just below the Santa Fe dam… life is short,,,enjoy the ride….
@tongalizia3175 yes, I should have put that in the video. Great place to pick up a drink, if needed.

@@1970SBenny lol, our total average was only about 18-19 mph for the entire ride. It's much easier with a group.
Yeah man, the congestion is the scariest part of these trails. Different maturity, skills, patience in these groups/riders.
Yes, I've seen some scary stiff over the years.
I ride this route as well as the 710 bike path. Great way to get in the miles.
Orange County is the Santa Ana River trail
@watcher3599 yes, I was just drawing a blank at the time of the video.
I love SART. It is much safer than LART

Yes I noticed them riding my electric unicycle out there. Super cool.
Besides being narrower, Looks a little better/ has prettier scenery than the Santa Ana river trail.

Watch out for Dawn the electric unicycle girl, documenting herself going 55 miles an hour on this trail!
@@boblatkey7160 that's crazy. I don't think that I've seen or heard of her.

@GMCD213 it is super flat. You feel some fatigue on the way back and there are a lot of small ramps once you get past the golf course in Pico.
@@afasterme3182 Thank you!
What does the zone numbers means
@eyon1189 typically referring to power or heart rate zones. I prioritize power over heart rate, so if I'm speaking of zones, it's referring to power zones.
Z1 = Recovery/low endurance
Z2 = Endurance
Z3 = Tempo/low threshold
Z4 = Threshold
Z5 = Vo2
Z6 = Anaerobic
In a basic 6 zone system. This is just one system though.
@@afasterme3182 i see thank you for the explanation i usually this trail on the weekends just for fun great vid btw i watched it all
@@eyon1189 thank you. I appreciate the support.
How much rest you get on the route?.

Is this all downhill?
@danovee9580 no, it's basically flat. The Strava profile is actually a bowl but in reality it rides very flat. As you ride back north, it becomes uphill for the last 10 miles or so.
Can you share Strava route please?

@@afasterme3182 Thank you!
Nice riding
If you like riding fast you’re invited to come to All City Grand Prix on sep 15 2 pm Hughes park
Pretty fun 10/20 mile crit ride and bbq
@@Mysiamesecatblue is this the course in LB? I think that's where I crashed earlier this year. Unfortunately, I may be camping on the 15th.
@@afasterme3182 enjoy the stars
Turnbull canyon in whittier for the real workout,,this is only for fun,,
