  • In this video Joe and I immerse ourselves in the rugged beauty of San Luis Obispo's countryside. We conquer steep gradients, find ourselves in a few sketchy situations, and push through fatigue to make it to the finish.

    Guys, ridewithgps is where it’s at for gravel. Tells you percentage of the route that is paved /unpaved/unknown… also gives you a heat map of where everyone and yourself has been.

      The heatmaps in RideWithGPS are super helpful

      We used Strava Routes which has all those cool features as well but most of it was showing undefined or "nos specified". I will check it out on ride with GPS to see the difference. Thanks again for watching and offering great suggestions!

    Really great footage and editing. Your tired legs would smoke me every time. Your rides are insane-tons of climbing and lots of miles-day after day after day! I hope to see posts on the 2 bikepacking days with all the climbing. Incredible!

    You just gotta avoid the freeways like the plague. Working on roadside surveys in California, I always ran into access problems.

    • @lifesagem
      @lifesagem  11 หลายเดือนก่อน

      We have to plan a better route next time, one that avoids having to take the freeways. Thanks for watching!

    I’m jealous! Spent plenty of time ‘round that part of the world but never did much riding. It’s insanely beautiful.

    • @lifesagem
      @lifesagem  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      The beauty of that region is captivating! If you ever have the chance to return and explore it on two wheels, it could add a whole new dimension to your experience. Thanks for watching!

      Thank you so much for your kind words and appreciation! Joe was actually beating himself thinking that his drone shots weren't that great this time. He wanted me to delete them from the final edit, glad I kept them and great to hear that you enjoyed them. My expression at the end was a clear reflection of how TOASTED I was at the end, glad it brought a smile to your face. We appreciate your support and encouragement. It means a lot to us. Stay tuned for more exciting content in the future!

    We’ve all had tired legs days, take a nice Epsom salts soak preferably in a jetted tub….works wonders. If you’re in the SLO area near Lopez lake there’s the Hi Mountain road climb that goes to gravel heading east.

    • @lifesagem
      @lifesagem  ปีที่แล้ว

      Thank you for the helpful tip! Soaking in an Epsom salts bath is exactly what I needed after that ride. We appreciate the suggestion!
      And thanks for sharing about the Hi Mountain road climb. We'll make sure to keep that one in mind if we're in the area. Happy riding!!

      Thank you for the encouraging words! Everyone has their off days, and we appreciate your support. Pa la proxima vamos con todo!! A little cafecito can work wonders for some but my stomach rejects it 💩, that's why I avoid it. Your kind words mean a lot to us. ¡Gracias por tu apoyo!

    So I want to criticize all the complaining, but then I realize I complain at least that much to myself as I'm slogging up 10% grades on my enduro bike, so...
    Cool to see the gravel side of the sport, it's interesting to me

    • @lifesagem
      @lifesagem  ปีที่แล้ว

    I live in Livermore CA and want to do some gravel bike riding but need help finding routes. Any advice? I saw in one of your vids you were near Mt Tam. How do find decent gravel bike routes and not mountain bike paths?

    • @lifesagem
      @lifesagem  6 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      Livermore is a great area for gravel riding! To find routes, consider using online platforms like Strava, Komoot, or Ride with GPS. These platforms often have user-generated routes that can be filtered for gravel roads. Additionally, local cycling clubs or forums may provide insights into gravel-friendly routes.
      When exploring areas near Mt. Tam, focus on fire roads and gravel paths rather than dedicated mountain bike trails. Researching local cycling groups or connecting with riders in your area can also yield valuable route recommendations tailored to gravel biking. Enjoy your gravel adventures!

      @lifesagem  ปีที่แล้ว

      We use the dji wireless mini mic. If you take a close look at my shirt, you’ll see I have a little magnet on the outside that’s holding the mini mic hidden inside my shirt ;)
