You asked for more long ride videos, so here you go! This is our favorite local cycling ride here in Da Nang, Vietnam. Lots of great views and very close to the city.
Love the long form ride videos. Thanks for creating them. Have you considered placing an overlay on the videos show stats like speed and elevation? Would make these vids even better! Looking forward to your next ride. 😊
That was the heck of a thrilling ride , especially the descents and spectacular views ! No wonder you are both in such top fitness condition with such regular training. Excellent oncoming plans too: Thuong definitely needs some time with her family before leaving and you will probably benefit not just from being with yours in the States , but also will assess the situation there much better before you both settle there. Bali or the Philippines sound the most interesting at this stage, but see what suits you best !
Nice long ride video. I enjoyed seeing you guys ride the downhills and uphills as well. Also Thoung looks like she is doing good with her cycling. She was taking those uphills with ease so her practicing is paying off. Those views are amazing and can't wait for another ride video. Great video.
What an awesome ride, definitely my end of the woods, I hate hills (who doesn’t) but rollers are great. When I upgraded my wheels they were loud and everyone can hear me coming, didn’t like that too much, I removed the hub and greased the pawls and it was all quiet afterwards, there was hardly any lub inside, I usually repeat the process every 4 months just to keep things quiet, some riders do the opposite to make them louder, they remove the grease because they want to be heard as they approach, I can still hear the hub as I descend but just half as much so you still get that “music to my ears “ clicking.
34:40 Wow! Such a gorgeous view for cycling in Vietnam, I believe you and Thuong are both very lucky to live an enjoyable life there. I'm hoping that once day I'll be there to unwind my mind from the nerve-racking times in such places in Da Nang, and I'm gonna cycle everyday without fail☺☺
I tried this Ride yesterday, but it was so hazy you could not see anything. So I turned around at about the statue and went to the Trek Store. Tomorrow I leave Da Nang southwards and Hope for sunny weather.
Yes, Thuong has improved uphill and above all uses the right gears. I remember that in Japan, uphill, she used gears that were too hard, she struggled more and the speed was low. But in this video, had you already mounted the carbon rims? PS: I've never seen blocks of ice on a scooter before! Greetings from Sardinia - Italy 💚🤍❤
It's amazing seeing the difference of her climbing before and now. Yes, I was riding the new carbon wheels in this video. I've seen the giant ice block guy a few times now in the same spot haha
Thuong looks strong, passing guys like they standing still. She always had good balance on bike but now she has the power to match. Think she should enter some more competitions. On side note I fed some monkeys in thailand. They were very intimidating. So I gave the food to a thai to feed them. They could not intimidate him. Thanks for vid its a very beautiful place.
She gets a lot of looks now as she blows by people haha. I still think she has a lot of potential with racing, especially with MTB or CX. Hopefully she'll get to try more in the US. I've seen tourists get overwhelmed here trying to feed the monkeys 😂
Nice ride and commentary! I was hoping to do the same ride today. I returned from Singapore today with a new gravel bike, which I bought at that shop you pointed out in East Coast park. I rode to Changi airport through the Jurassic Mile - I seem to be following in your tracks, ha. Maybe see you on a ride one of these days!
Great video/ride. Love the pos commentary and seeing you in a good mood. I am still trying to work out why they honk so much! Could be a combo of factors. You should get a really loud battery powered horn for your bike that sounds like a coach, that would be funny! (only joking, i think)
It started raining now in Chiang Mai, so the pollution is much better finally. The other day it was 42C, monsoon wind and downpour, and hail. Crazy weather and it feels like living in a bathroom with the hot shower running. Oh, I finally tried those noodle stuffed chicken wings you mentioned. Delicious. Happy Birthday Thuong, welcome back to Chiang Mai.
Hopefully it won't rain too much when we go. It looks like it's a little hotter there, but the lows are cooler so the sunset rides should be nice hopefully. Can't wait to go back.
I haven't ridden on the coast for a while now. I miss the scenery, but not the traffic. Love the vegetation where you rode. The wind seemed minimal from what I could see. You guys smashed the climbs! Some questions... What sort of gearing are you using? What power meter are you running? How do you like your new wheels? About the smoking cyclists... I've seen some myself, mostly commuters. It's been a while, I can't help but laugh it's ridiculous.
Strangely, the end of this road has a lot less traffic compared to many inland roads here. It can get very windy here, but not too bad today. We're using compact front and 11-30 cassette
Wow...I have just come back from that same spot. Only difference I went running all the way up and back down. From centre to the lady Buddha stairs where the view is and I had to walk and run back ..because my phone died and couldn't book grab. The weather is terrible in Vietnam but always good to stay at the beach. Red monkeys on the way 👌🖐️🧐😉

Thanks, great ride!
@@ArmandGirard We edit our videos on ipad and don't know a good way to add that info outside of PC
can i ask what's your average speed during this ride? :)
Yeah, cycling with the Vietnam traffic...makes good sense.
Cruise's passive agressiveness due to traffic makes me chuckle
It's building up inside 😂
The water and lush green peninsula view is beautiful, indeed!
25:45 That downhill burst of speed is exhilarating
That was the heck of a thrilling ride , especially the descents and spectacular views !
No wonder you are both in such top fitness condition with such regular training.

Yeah, some of the roads here are very good for training and no shortage of steep hills
Nice long ride video. I enjoyed seeing you guys ride the downhills and uphills as well. Also Thoung looks like she is doing good with her cycling. She was taking those uphills with ease so her practicing is paying off. Those views are amazing and can't wait for another ride video. Great video.
Thank you! All of her training is really paying off lately
Another chill vid :) always find myself drawn into these beautiful scenic rides.
Glad you enjoy 😊
I didn't hear as much horn honking this time. Thank goodness.
Yes, one of the other very nice things about this route
What an awesome ride, definitely my end of the woods, I hate hills (who doesn’t) but rollers are great.

Agreed, rollers are great. I used to not like loud hubs, but they are convenient here to let people know you're nearby with all the chaos
@@TwoWheelCruise totally agree, it all depends on location, loud is good in Da nang.
i watched Thuong struggle with hills last year, but this year she looks like a beast, great going girl.
She's grown so much :)
Beautiful.
34:40 Wow! Such a gorgeous view for cycling in Vietnam, I believe you and Thuong are both very lucky to live an enjoyable life there. I'm hoping that once day I'll be there to unwind my mind from the nerve-racking times in such places in Da Nang, and I'm gonna cycle everyday without fail☺☺
Yes there are some very nice views along the coast on the hills and mountains here.
I tried this Ride yesterday, but it was so hazy you could not see anything. So I turned around at about the statue and went to the Trek Store. Tomorrow I leave Da Nang southwards and Hope for sunny weather.
Aloha from Maui 🌈 Thanks for sharing your beautiful ride. You and Thuong always inspire me to ride after watching your videos.
Awesome!
I felt the adrenaline during your fast descents from the safety of my home office. LOL
Haha some of these downhills are very steep and fast
Great ride , congrats to both of You 👍, Wow Raftery's Rules in the city , although , Hobart is getting just as bad !
Great ride. Looks awesome!
Da Nang is likely to have a fireworks competition. I hope you can capture those moments. Thanks :)
Yes, we are hoping to see it
Enjoyed ride..the peninsula actually had some good views .look forward to next u tub .paul
Thanks Paul!
Fantastic ride!
11:16 What a beautiful sea view, I'm glad to see such a view through your video
Lots of stunning views on this peninsula
your wife fitness is incredible. i follow your vlog since you still in Japan. she grow really fast. she now elite rider.
Thank you! Yes, she is a lot faster now :)
Love the long videos!! Keep them coming!! How are the new tires riding? Great views!!
Thanks! Feeling fast 😁

Thanks for posting this. So fun to watch. Love watching people climb hills and then descend
Glad you enjoyed :)

Next time I'm in Vietnam, I hope to make a trip to Da Nang. Here's a tip.... avoid LAX! Connect anywhere but there!
Luckily Seoul goes direct to Detroit :)
Really enjoyable ride to watch. Especially the descent.
flat bar bikes and mud guards are quite popular in vietnam.
Yeah they make a lot of sense here
nice view nice video :)
This road goes for hours ...cycle🚴🚴🚴
Great video. Looking forward to riding the route when I arrive in Da Nang next week. Keep them coming please.
Amazing

Small world, enjoy the new bike!
The wedding car looked like the car in Annie Hall
Great video/ride. Love the pos commentary and seeing you in a good mood. I am still trying to work out why they honk so much! Could be a combo of factors. You should get a really loud battery powered horn for your bike that sounds like a coach, that would be funny! (only joking, i think)
Thanks! I've seriously considered getting a revenge horn for my rides 👹
That was good. Can you do 70 km loops in that area? Love the scenery.
Yes, easy to get more distance with Monkey Mountain
👍👍
In the Philippines we call that hubs tunog mayaman 😂

Kids go there with there superbikes..😮

Oh! How is Thoung liking the new carbon wheels?
She's still riding her original wheels in this video, but we will film her impressions soon
What was you speed on the downhill?
Your wife has really getting stronge!
2 Questions:
Do use ceramic bearings?
And do you wax your chain?
"LET'S GO!"
Check our Strava link for speed info. The wheels should be ceramic bearings and we just use normal chain lube now.
Hi, great video thanks. I am visiting Da Nang in Aug from Australia. Are there group road bike rides available? Can I hire a road bike? Thank you.
Q: Why does Thuong want to go back to Thailand?
A: For the QOMs. 😉
She's really excited to go back and see how much faster she is on certain segments :)
Thuong is looking strong on hill climbs. How is her out of saddle climbing working out ?
She doesn't like to do it much, but her form is looking a lot better in this video
Do you have any issues with rust? I have a terrible time with it in Danang. A constant battle.
Yes, stem bolts are pretty nasty now 🥲
What was the elevation gain on this ride? Would you say there are a lot of mountain rides around Da Nang, for road cycling? thanks
Check the video description, we usually include a link to the Strava ride for most videos. Da Nang has both flat and hilly routes
Do the rotors every need to be trued or bent back into place? Or do you hear them rub when you dance on the pedals or sprint out of the saddle?
My front rotor is a little loud on the fast downhills, but it's not so bad
Hey Cruise , have U got rim brakes on your bike : Because they are noisy ?
No, my rotors sometimes make noise
way dont you take your wife back to the USA for the two weeks, just as a tourist?
Tourist visa is complicated while applying for residency
I hope you don't lose a couple of kilograms every ride or you might disappear by next month lol
I gain it all back after dinner haha
