The TOUGHEST Century Ride In California?

  • This year we headed out to the 2023 Tour de Big Bear once again that takes place up in Big Bear, CA. This is one of my all time favorite century rides. It's a brutal, organized century ride, or Gran Fondo that turns into basically a massive road race for the lead groups.
    There are timed KOM points with actual checkpoints and prizes to the winners. The ride has a ton of different options, there's a 70 mile option amongst others. I've done a route similar to this many times before, but for some reason this road bike ride is always one that's tough for me to navigate.
    If you're a cyclist and you live in California, this is great for training, racing, or just a ton of fun with the expo that happens the day before.
    It was great to get out and see all my friends and the community at the 2023 Tour de Big Bear and I was grateful to spend time with my teammates as the 2023 road cycling race season comes to a conclusion.
    See you all next year!

    "It hurts so bad every year and I jut forget" I can relate that to that so much having done so many GFs. I forget how hard the previous year's GF was lol. Loved your video, dude. P.S. Just curious, how tall are you and how much do you weigh?

      Love it! All of the above are a great challenge especially at elevation. 🤝🏼

    Good times all round! TDBB’s tons of fun, but that back side of Onyx will eat you alive!

    What was the drink powder that you were using in the big bag?

      Oh man, I need to make a whole video for this one. Essentially it’s an isotonic mixture of Maltodextrin, salt, etc that we’ve been using (DIY). I can link you the actual bag but it’s only one piece of the puzzle
