Thanks for taking me on that trip with you! Seeing it gave me a new perspective. Now I know why you do it. Also, encouraged me to hit the prairie path tomorrow, 60 miles and 800 ft of vertical. Life in the plains! BTW enjoying the new gravel bike…
And also I enjoyed watching your video and I have a few thoughts of an idea of maybe some video that might challenge and maybe peak some interest for others in your content I had an idea of you trying to survive biking in extreme temperatures of heat while biking miles cause I would be curious to see how you would do and maybe another of biking at crazy speeds down a mile like maybe the title saying this mountain was the fastest mountain I’ve ever ridden or biking in the coldest of weathers just some thoughts to think about that you could do maybe doing some of riding in some packed cities cause they can add some challenges to riding with lots of traffic but I just wanted to put that out there for yeah I hope you continue to try and continue to make content I’m trying my best to make content whenever I can good luck to you I hope to see some similar content like I watched 👌🤘🔥🔥
Thanks for watching! I’m using the onboard mic from the GoPro media mod. It does a decent job in the wind (the last part of the video I lost the wind screen and you can hear the wind a ton). Appreciate your words!
I am EATING this video up. Especially because you thought you were getting a tail wind on the way back. And the expectation for hill bombing. And the farm road. Shout out to the salad bowl of the world. Shout out to San Juan Bautista!
Oh man that looked to be like one of them days! I wonder if you could have just pushed your bike thru the park or just say F it and ride thru it and pay the fine 😅 the last leg back to SC must have been insane. I wonder if it's better to take the West approach into Pinnacles and head back out via the East gate🤔
It was definitely one of those days! I will say the trail was very rideable but had high traffic and I was filming so I wanted to obey the rules 😉 I can’t imagine the other way being any harder. Worth a try!
On the one hand, this is SO sick! On the other hand, it's SO depressing seeing the sad state of bike trails in the US, especially here in California where we could literally bike anywhere 24/7 365 if given the infrastructure.
I agree. But in Pinnacles case I totally understand why they wouldn't let bikes on the main trails. There's only a few that could handle bikes and they would get torn up/make it impossible as a hiker to enjoy the nature.
@@Adam_Lazor That definitely makes sense, I'm more referring to the section where you had to play frogger across a construction zone just to get where you needed to be! Bike trails are so segmented here it forces people to do crazy dangerous stuff like that
I have a question so I’m looking into getting a road bike myself I was curious what brand it is and I’m curious of what size tires you have and if the tire is a road tire or gravel tire and would it not make any difference affecting speed if it were a gravel bike tire on the road because it’s my first time trying to look for a road bike and I’m riding more on the road
The bike I'm riding is a Cervelo Aspero. It's a gravel bike with 42mm gravel tires on there (maximum clearance on this frame). Gravel tires will affect your speed slightly on road but probably not enough to notice on the regular basis. I love my gravel bike because of the type of riding I do which is generally 75% Road 25% Dirt. If you think you'll ride more road, get a road bike that allows you fit wider tires on if you want but still has the geometry and feel of a road bike. Steel is a great option.
@ Yeah that makes since sometimes I ride a bit on the dirt because theirs short cuts in my town that’s dirt road, so a gravel bike probably be of good use to me from time to time, but thank you man.
A ranger pulled up to me as I was walking to the trail head and had no issue with what I was doing. He was more worried that I was only wearing Birkenstocks and curious about my backpack strap.
@Adam_Lazor we had 3 cyclists this year on single speed bikes who rode the AIDS lifecycle from SF to LA....545 miles over 7 days...must have had Steve Austin legs...lol
Our hero 🚵

I am 4 minutes into this video and am hooked! EXCELLENT audio, what mic are you using? Also great story telling, and you keep the action going.

And also are you using a go pro for the camera

Good thing you didn’t get busted carrying your bike ( it’s still not allowed ) . Yes it’s lame , but true .

@@Adam_Lazorthat’s amazing , unfortunately I had the opposite with a total dick head ranger .
Dont think I could do that with my steel frame bike.
Definitely helped that my frame is very light! Steel is real though! I love my steel frame single speed.
