You can't see because the sweat is in your eyes so ditch the helmet and wear a cap. I'm sure you could have paid someone a couple of bucks to take your helmet to the top so you would have it for the descend or just carry it your handlebars. The cap works to channel the sweat off your face. I can't wear a helmet in the summer because I sweat like a water tap.
Outstanding Effort!
RESPECT!! Thanks for dealing with the steep ascent, heat, and flies to show us suffering in real time! Great video!
Thank you!
Mt Baldy is a great ride. We went up the dirt road in the end with our MTB's a couple years ago. Beautiful, amazing scenery but very hot indeed.
Great videos by the way, thanks!
Thank you very much. I’d like to do it again if it’s cooler.
Didn't realize you were on this ride! It was hot as hell but fun.
Was that a base layer you were wearing during the ride? Must be a special one for heat.
Outstanding Effort!
C Mon you can do 115 degrees
Great effort! It seems like without the heat it would have been more doable. Great, post, regardless!
@@george8214 thank you. I think springtime or fall would be a better choice.
Wow!!! You’re totally determined to finish this murderous ride… honestly… I was terrified for your safety… BRAVO 👏 MAN… and do NOT do it again with this weather and heat… it’s not worth it…🙅🏼…🏆🏆🏆🗽. I hope, everyone was OKAY ✅ 🕘🔝🔙🚴♀️
I'm going to be much smarter next time. I survived, but I'll probably do it again during a different time of year. Thanks for watching!!
Great job pushing through the pain and suffering. It may hurt like hell but finishing that climb is an awesome accomplishment!
@@Opasridingjourney now that it’s over I’m happy I stuck through.
I'm definitely going to try this seems to be fun thanks for the inspiration 😅
@@TimothyKelly-u9y maybe spring or fall. Not summertime.
Great video! And congrats on making it. Can't imagine what it is like, but I do remember the high desert in CA. Now in MD, I'll use this as inspiration to ride a century later this year. Thx.
@@dwaha thanks for watching and subscribing!
I was the race promoter for the Mount Baldy Hillclimb back in the late 80's - early 1990's It is a beast of a climb.. The original hillclimb started on the Upland side and rode up Euclid to Shinn road to mount baldy. The first climb of one mile warms you up.. Official start was by the fire station located at 24th and Euclid ave - then you climb all the way to the ski lifts sign.. It was 12.6 miles and in all those years only 2 people ever broke one hour - Hillclimb specialist Tom Resh from Redlands has the record at 56 minues - he rode it that year with a 39x21 as his lowest gear. Then a few years after that Ned Overend broken one hour with 59 minutes and many years winning times would be in the 1:03 to 1:07 time range. If you broke 1:30 that was quite the accomplishment. The last 3 miles when you turn up the switchbacks will take everything you have.
@@ErikPipins it took everything I had plus 10%
Great job! I made it up about halfway and when I got home, I put on a larger cassette!
That's why I brought my Crux. 34-36 instead of my road bike which has 34-28. Ugh.
Epic ride! I've gone up to the lifts once, done the loop to the village many times and its always fantastic to finish. During the climbs though, I always have my doubts though. LOL
I’m going to do it again in the future, but only if the weather is better.
This was an awesome video! Thanks for sharing 😊
Thanks. Welcome to my channel. Hope you like other videos too. - Adam
when is this supported ride happening again? I live in Massachussetts but have friends near Mt. Baldy and have been wanting to do this climb for awhile now!
@@chesterules 1. Heck the PAA website and also occasionally GMR is closed to motorists. Look for those days and go then. There was hardly any traffic anyway, but it’s nice to have ZERO. I’d suggest fall or spring, not summer.
Good job finishing! That is a super tuff ride even in perfect conditions.
It sucked but that’s what makes good videos I guess.
@@cyclinginsoutherncalifornia Yes. But you indicated you would do it again in the future. So that is the question that needs an answer. Why?
@@Coloradorider400 I think because under the right conditions, it could probably be an awesome day (weather, no bugs, they close the road to motorists some days, etc)
@@cyclinginsoutherncalifornia I think it's because you are a little nuts. I know because I think I am. The suffering does something for you?
🤣🤣🤣 reminded me of my first time riding this 🤘
I’d like to do it when it’s cooler.
That looked like hell!
It was awful but I survived.
I could endure the climb and the heat; but the biting bugs would have been a dealbreaker for me. Just couldn't handle a distraction like that.
2 weeks later and I still had bites that were itching. It sucked.
That's what they sell bug spay for.
@@charlesmansplaining There was no Rite Aid on My Baldy.
