    The ridge trail route is so much more fun and the time is about the same, if not less in my opinion... And I love how silent your guy's bikes are.

    Hey guys if you enjoy this ride so much you should make your way up to Revelstoke in BC at one pinot, 8.6 miles long and 5485 feet of elevation, called 5620 !! Most of the climb is via chair lift but the last roughly 1600 feet are leg power ... ;). Great video as always !!

      That would be cool, it’s fun going back to spots and seeing how much you’ve improved. It always feels like you are going faster than you are and then you watch the video haha But Kyle’s tips at the end of the video of looking ahead really helped and I was automatically faster with that.

    Funny story, when I got into mountain biking, I joined a group ride and it was to Demo Soquel - it was my first experience riding singletrack. I had fun even as an absolute newbie to MTB. :)

      @@99jerseyboy I'm sorry, but I disagree. Unless you're elderly or seriously physically limited, no reason for an emtb. They chew up the trail, lead to more trail congestion, and ruin the experience for everyone else.

    A eBike would help with the climb 😂 you could go longer & faster covering more distance in the day.
    Also this vid clearly shows why a gimbal is still needed with a GoPro. The Insta 360 oneR would be a smoother option for April 😁👍

      Oh I wish I could have used the e bike on the climb, but the downhill was more fun without the weight.

    Too bad you went the wrong way. Next time, ride up the road and turn right on Buzzard Lagoon and climb up to the top of Demo. That way you get to ride ridge trail + Flow. Not to mention, sulphur springs is a horrible climb. Ridge is an amazing ride, in itself.
