Your a good man Russ. I love seeing you two out together. My favorite part was you carrying the bikes. 🙌
Love how much fun you two have together!
Nice to see Laura back on the bike. She is looking healthy and strong!
I use to love hiking in that area 40 years ago. Spring was lush in a wet year, fall was pleasant, winter was also nice, Summer was too hot during mid-day, but good from dawn to about 10 or 11am. Thanks for the vid.
Nice! Really neat to see an escape in SoCal without cars.
That was a pretty good meadow. I'm always jealous of the green meadows of the alps.
Seemed like a really great ride, says me with my 29x3 tires. Thanks for taking us along.
One of my favorite SB backcountry loops...in either direction (I sort of prefer going the opposite direction you went, i.e. descend Angostura and up Arroyo Burro...just because the dirt climb is shorter). We'll typically do this loop starting in Goleta, and accessing it via Old San Marcos and Painted Cave. So, basically combining your last 2 ride videos! THAT's a fun "adventure" :-)
Ha. We don’t have the fitness to do all that in one go and still enjoy it.
Wow, you guys have been picking some beautiful choice rides! Color me a little jealous. Well done
I'm loving the California ride series! Adding all of these to my bucket list.
That really looks like a beautiful place to get a challenging workout. What a glorious way to spend time with your favorite friend.
You can tell that Russ is a true SoCal guy as he always uses "the" in front of the highway designation; i.e., the 154.
And he says SanFran instead of S F

Raining and deep freeze in the Northeast today. So sweet to see this video. Thanks guys!
Amazing route!
So good to see you both riding together. Much Love!
Looks amazing !
Small distance and big elevation - welcome to Southern California cycling!
Enjoyable video as always! Thirty years ago I lived in Goleta and Paradise was my go to for Biking, swimming and fishing. My most memorable ride was on the way to Jameson, dropped my bike and punctured my water bottle. It was summer and I was a bit hungover. Before I noticed, I was out of water. On the way out feeling laggy from dehydration I was chased by a bear. Best ride ever.
Happy to see you both out enjoying your bikes and each other! Take advantage of that sunshine and ride on 😁
Loved the ride and views. Crocs are my choice also for water crossings on hikes etc, I hate that wet shoe feeling, especially if it's cold!
Beautiful scenery. Just when you think your ride is done comes not one but two water crossings. I have vivid flashbacks of wet shoes during pour down rain rides.
So blessed to live in Santa Barbara County. Growing up with all these backroads and hiking trails is awesome. Love seeing other people enjoying them. We would drive up Figueroa Mountain from Los Olivos and come down the Santa Barbara side into Camino Ceilo all the time. Have not done it on a bike though.
What an awesome ride, thanks for taking us along!
Really liking the CA rides videos.
Exploring on a bike is a wonderful thing.
Los Padres National Forest us mind blowing. That ridge paved section is breath taking! This may be a good shorter “Rapha Prestige” had ride option. Love d the video🤙🏼🤙🏼
Your summation at the end seemed really accurate--it was just an adventure. Love that kind of ride and trying to do more of them myself. So thank you for this! You've commented a couple times over this past month of ride vids that you're working your way into climbing shape (and seem successful!). As someone who is a little older than you and lives in a very "climb-ey" region, 3000 feet sounds daunting (I get plenty winded doing even 1000), so I'd love to hear any tips you have on doing climb-ey rides if you aren't in peak shape (for those of us who can't get out all the time). Route selection and "get low gearing" are obvious but I wonder if you try to stay under a certain heartrate, break every 500' of elevation, etc.
New respect for Russ and Laura for the water crossing. Great ride!
My kind of ride
This ride had adventure "ridden" all over it!! Would love to ride this exact same route soon, thanks for sharing👍
That looks like an awesome ride! Definitely adventure through and through with both acoustic and electric both getting a good workout. Even at party pace.
Did the ride up Gibraltar from Red Rock parking lot many times. One of the best gravel rides anywhere.
So good to see you two having so much fun! ❤️❤️
That WAS glorious pavement... Also, the temps have been just GELID here in the frozen Northeast. To see you guys wading through that pond... it chilled me just imagining it.
Re the Crocs.
I went from plimsoles and socks to Clearwater Keen closed toe sandals and no socks for cycling footwear.
It has transformed my cycling experience in warm/hot weather.
....and no need to carry Crocs....
Highly recommended.
Looks like a great route! I missed these riding videos with you two...
Nice video, Russ! This is my backyard and I love seeing that you and Laura recorded your ride here.
Love seeing the e9. My wife just received hers.
On any given ride, the suffering is always finite. The question is whether or not you complete the ride before death intervenes.
Another awesome ride and video, thank you!
Hell yes we did. Love it
Great video
Good to see you guys out together - Laura adds a certain jeux nes se qaux? Russ - the shirt, champion apparel
Great ride and video! I am going to do this one for sure :)
THAT looked like fun!
Black Crocs make great bike washing shoes, too.🔥🚴🏻♂️🔥
Great ride!!
Used trail sales, with finite level of suffering! I just amazed at the Southern California Coastal Range. These rides will stand out for years to come as a quide to that area. RWGPS will help too.
That ride looked amazing. :)
All that talk of "paradise" in the beginning seemed to be dooming yourselves to a Paradise Lost 🙃 Glad it was all an adventure!
I wanna hear more about Laura's e bike ...I have a diy bafang surly mid drive and it smashes hills, but if you wanna conserve batt you you can adjust assist appropriately, but still would never compare to standard bike on climbs
me too - although Bosch may arguably have the most efficient e-bike drive system, I'd like to hear if "range anxiety" comes into play on these rides.
Maybe, a long-term review update (of her initial Niner ebike review).
It should be possible with 600w+ if you also pedal
Oh…wow!
Great video! Thanks. I want to ask Laura; I have knee problems from missing meniscus and pieced together tibial plateau in addition to bone Spurs. I have been considering an ebike because the pain limits my riding but feel like in some ways I would be “giving up” by not riding my “normal” bikes. Does that seem stupid and would Laura see the ebike remaining one of her N+1 stable even after she feels she is fully recovered? I’m not trying to buy her bike, just trying to understand how she feels about ebikes in general and their place in our lives as people who love to ride. Maybe a good video topic if you didn’t want to respond here. Thank you.
Maintaining a hobby after an injury by any means necessary is not “giving up”. Go for it!
Yeah but you don't know until towards the end of the ride if you want it to last forever. It's the unexpected that keep me going!
I can't believe Russ didn't give Laura a piggy-back ride through that stream.
Be careful leaving your GoPro pointing up on your handlebar into direct sunlight for hours. It can and will damage the sensor.
Beautiful countryside. Love the Patagonia jackets. Are they a cycling range?
No. Just the Houdinis.
I was just going ask you if you brought your fly rod? Great ride today!
So rad!! Looks beautiful! I’m curious, can you do this route to the top of Gibraltar and then descend?
You could, but climbing up "dirt" Gibraltar was the big highlight.
Water crossing are the best 🤪
What could go wrong on a three-hour tour (a three-hour tour)?
🤣
These are my kinda rides. We used to call them epics, in this case even a short epic :)
How are you liking the titainium?
NIce. Excellent route and close to home. I like that you offer the route gpx trax via a RidewithGPS app. Very kind. Side question for Russ. What bell or you using on your bike?
Spurcycle
@@PathLessPedaledTV Thank you. Have a great day!
Try carrying a bike on the non-drive side - usually a bit cleaner.
We have waxed chains so they’re super clean.
That looked like a glorious ride! What was the route?
Great video!! I used to live in Ventura, I love that section of the coast it's so majestic and you definitely cannot beat the weather!!! I'm coming out of retirement this summer to complete the miles around the planet I have about seven and a half thousand to go! I'm trying to build my channel so in other words I'm looking for subscribers LOL 🤔 I'll do you if you do me!!? Brotherly favor from this wonderful family of hardcore endurance athletes!!!
Russ, are you sporting a Houdini jacket??
Yes
Where do you get your fingerless bike gloves?
Looks like fun!. Love to climb so this is something I need to do! What gearing were you running?
36t and 11-48 in the back.
Hey Russ, make and model of crochet gloves are you wearing? Thanks!
It's the gloves Riv sells. Not sure the brand.
My wife is looking for a new pair of biking shorts. Can I ask what brand Laura is wearing?
What shoes are you wearing to go in and out of the water?
Crocs
What bike are you riding?
Bearclaw Thunderhaw
Whoaa!!! Awesome scenery!!! What dropbar do you use?
Red Shift Kitchen Sink
I haven't had any motivation to ride lately but this route is WOW! I really want to ride that.
