This is a DROP Ride

- Sometimes you pick a route because the wind is blowing that way. Kanan and Encinal are not my favourite roads, especially not climbing Kanan through the tunnels. So I roped my friends into coming with me, knowing all they really wanted to do was descend Encinal. Along the way we lost half the gang, but this is road cycling - we hurt each other then stand around and chat like it never happened. Alex wasn't enjoying the crosswinds in a group and bailed early. Taylor had been suffering for a few weeks with the dry air we get this time of year, and his heart almost exploded on the main climb. We also found out he had a slow leak!

Praise the cameraman for keeping Taylor safe until he got out of tunnel 2.
yea man they just left him, at least drop him after lol
@@ashdason8529 yeah... whats the point riding in a group like this, if you're gonna leave each other to themselves. Ride alone then lol
@Malique well he did call it the “drop ride” so that was probably the intention
@@BrotherlyLove12 okay fair enough but then at least leave them after the tunnel and dangerous parts... If it wasnt for cameraman that guy would be risking his life really badly... Also lets not forget about the last 4th guy.. where is he and how did he even go throught the tunnels without lights 🤔
Mr Taylor to be tired on the climb tunel 2. I'm sorrow......😌
This channel proves that road bike descending should be a televised sport!
it literally is a televised sport lol
🤣
@@neelsahay5227 hahahah i think they mean in this type of POV..
As a bike mechanic, that creak is killing me. 🤣 Over here trying to diagnose it, like I do on the group rides I go on.
What causes it?
@@untamednme869 it could be a number of different things. From the sounds of it, it seems to be coming from the crank/bottom bracket area. Especially with the insane power he is putting through the pedals. That is just from what I hear in the video though. But after nearly 20 years in the bike biz, I know that a creak can come from anywhere and be a pain to diagose and solve.
@@zmeeds17 this sh*t happens to me all the time 🤣 it is really a pain in the ass looking for that creak noise 🤣🤣
@@dietherviado sooooo many customers that would come in with a creaky "bottom bracket" and about 50% of the time it was coming from somewhere other than there. Headset, seatpost, rear wheel not tight enough, creaky spokes, just to name a few. Worst were those you thought you found the creak and got rid of it, give the bike back to the customer and they come back a week later and say it is back again. "Well, we know it wasn't "x" part now. On to the next part to diagnose." 🤣
Doesn't sound like the BB to me, but it is definitely occurring in both the big ring and small ring on Safa's bike in sync with his cadence. It honestly just sounds like the RD indexing is out and the chain is rubbing on the next largest cog.
Nothing like struggling badly and all your homie has to say in response is "Im barely even breathing".
SAFA be talking mad shit on this ride, bahaha!
Yeah, rde with people you're stronger than so you can talk bs to them. That's clutch alright. TREK was just there, why isn't there a video of him dropping them uphill? Hmm, I wonder?
These guys are at a level they know when they’re holding a group back more than helping, cold hard truth sometimes… but funny to hear Safa be so blunt about it 😂
As you get older and many more years on the bike they will realize holding the group together is where it really is at.
Tuff ride for Taylor but we all have those days especially when something is getting in the way of your breathing , but that dude always impresses me on these group rides and in any of your videos. He's strong as hell !
Another good one Safa and these bikes are sweet you guys are on.
This is amazing. Glad you were able to document how us regular people feel when Drake and Safa show up to the ride
Lol you are far from a regular person on the bike Joe
I really appreciate this video guys! So rare to see a full ride, highest quality video and sound. I learned a lot about group riding watching this.
that road is a death trap . the two tunnels on the climb up kanan are sketch, me and my friend almost got hit but the car was like inches away . never doing that again.
If you pause it at 3:07 you can see how much safa enjoys knowing his friends are about to SUFFER
so giddy.
@@aspenwagon04 practically glowing
😂😂😂😂
Yeah, it's sadistic 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
You nailed it. When he is in his 70s like me he will know it’s way more fun riding with your buddies.
That’s how it goes. Never quite as expected. All were safe and ready to fight again. Chapeau!
Chapeau? Are you serious?
What they did is illegal, is dumb, it makes car drivers hostile against ciclist and a lot of shit to add to that list.
Fastest I’ve been on my single speed bike was 72kmph and I was so scared lol. Seeing you guys do this is nuts.
Me too HAHAA, i was scary AF and shaking
Wide, good quality roads and top quality bikes make a huge difference in how secure you'll feel
It's not the descent that scares me, but the sound of the wind. 🥶
@@patrickstar7374 haha feel it
This was almost like watching a bike race with open roads. Love the moto cam
Wow, those big trucks passing by. That looks real scarry
very normal when riding in Malibu area. There're a few better climbs in the area which much less cars but they chose the highway to get to PCH.
It's normal for these kinds of roads, you get used to it.
I drove on the PCH last year, and I felt so afraid for the cyclists. I thought no way.
This is mad bro. I’d probably shit my pants going downhill at that speed, keep them videos coming out way!🤯
Facts. I'm barely comfortable at 40-45. let alone trying to peddle.
Yep. I nearly shit at 35.
I feel nervous just watching !!!!
that descent was epic, cycling bliss.
that modesty and realness, just-benig-you vibe, is going crazy with you. love the fact that you coming from highlevel-delivery-background in mexico. makes the character complete. Big ups for this channel.
Another amazing video, Brian I have no idea how you have the endurance that you do.
Fantastic camera work also Bucky 🤙🤙
Absolutely insane!!!! Nice work guys... Couldn't take my eyes off the screen fo a second 🙌🏾👊🏾💪🏾
LOVE the sound the tires make.
That tunnel at 20:20 was scarry too, without any lights on your bikes !
I was glad the moto stayed behind Taylor for the tunnel to keep him safe, but I think a rear light is a must at all times of day to keep yourself visible.
In the tunnel I kept thinking "grab the moto, Taylor!" What a beautiful video. Thanks guys!
as always i just love the colors of the video. the browns, the blues the greens. so nice
That was incredible. I think drake could have benefited from shallower wheels, watching him in some of those cross winds was insane! great video.
The sound that is produced by the tires contact with the ground, when they drive downwards, is too relaxing.
Amazing how those guys climbed without any problem. My heart would have been about to exploded like Taylors.
Bloody freaks.
300w avg is too much eh
"There 's a duck on your bike."
😁
Nice ride pal! Thx for the vid.
Thank you very much to the cameraman who both rides a bike and captures such beautiful angles, god bless you always be safe 🙏🏻
lmao just being super blunt about not waiting up for your buddy. I love it;
Unreal skills and confidence. A mistake at 50mph could be life ending.
Saw you all on Kanan today. Keep it up!!!
You fellows make the big Encinal downhill look too easy! Also, watching you hit 15 mph on some of the 4-5% climbs is motivational - sick, but motivational.
😂😂😂 I love the memoriam at the end. Taylor us was stronger that I’ve seent it. I love how they are casually talking while putting 350 watts out on a climb. You guy motivate me to get stronger. Thanks for the vid.
Absolutely lovely.... Kudos!
you guys have a big lungs, amazing. . the descent is so awesome, adrenaline rush. perfect video. kudos to the videographer.
Zazdroszczę. Piękny zjazd.
🇬🇧Incredible Endurance Brian! 💯Enjoyable Viewing!!
Absolute SUFFER FEST that long climb. 😂😂
✌️, Distance covered stat should be displayed.
Pushing so hard your nose bleeds now that's some descending, well done. Strong ride but the route would be way too busy for my liking.
American snobbery, I say! The roads I ride on here in Europe are busier, narrower, more technical, and the asphalt is so poor my wheels routinely go out of true!
@ ANd? Who cares. Your bringing that arrogance and complaining that Americans bring to Europe and your bringing it here. FYI, I played pro sports on 4 countries in Europe. Glad I never met someone like you. Just enjoy the video and keep it positive.
@@TChalla007 Where is this arrogance, other than what you've shown? I'm encouraging them to consider how beautiful the road is and what a great adventure riding it would be!
@@TChalla007 keep whining, no one cares about your pathetic life.
@ not sure how anything you said in the first comment relates to your second comment. How could one ascertain that from your criticism and snobbery?
The scenery is amazing 🤩 🔥🔥🏝.
"It wasn't ideal, but it was fun ..." Damn SAFA, you have no fear. That was insane. Respect!
The rider on white rides like he's using Ebike 😂. So relaxed and confident
Kudos to the camera 🎥 guy…! Excellent work..!
Nice to see some climbing on this page
Pure cycling adrenaline. Bravo from Greece...
You’ve got some big balls to ride Kanan. Cool seeing you start out in my hood
This looks fun.
I can’t. Let’s slow up. Thanks for keeping it 100 Safa. @18:35 no one waited for Alex!
Крутые ребята. Hi Safa!👍 Спорт сила и выносливость! 👍
это в каккой они локациии катают не вкурсе?
@@redcat751 посмотри в его профиле на strava
More of these please!
y'all have such scenic roads!
Finally a video I can relate to in getting DROPED! lol
Crazy effort by Drake! Such a strong push his nose started squirting!
oh!!! hello mate what a nicee ride paecefull roads
I'm lucky to average 16mph on flat roads. These guys are flying even on these steep uphill grades. I'm starting to think there is something wrong with my legs lol
these dudes riding prob 20 hours a week minimum for a lot of years. more if they not working a shit ton. lol
plus these dudes got power.. safa can't weigh more than 145-150 and hes looks like 6'2. other guy in white looks like 160 max. around teh same height.
Saddle up and put in the miles.
@@cecilecorpuz5735 great idea!
it's probably your bike
Tremendous footage of the Santa Monica Mountains! Better to have a bit more caution on that last descent, when exiting Encinal and heading onto PCH, knowing that intersection, that was a bit scary.
haha poor guy in the cervelo, safa was like nah fam we out.
i love this videos pls keep making this kind of content, i hope you never get tired of making these videos!!! more power to you SAFA
WHO is on cam duty!!! Give that person ALL the props!
Good stuff gentlemen 👍🏾
I was surprised by the politeness of the drivers, most respecting.
In Brazil is different.
RIP Alex and Taylor. You should take them for a crazier ride some time soon😂
God that ocean looked so beautiful !
simply wow
Great ride.
that ELEMNT chime let’s you know it’s about to go down 🔥🔥
Dude has asthma giving a consistent 350 uphill ????!!!!!! LFG
Amazing Roads!
Fantastic video. Please more action like this one starring SAFA the PUNISHER. Drop them all, let God sort them out.
yall are AWESOME
Damn those handlebar shifters have some LLEEAANN
❤️❤️❤️. Please please please let me join you on one of these when I’m down in So Cal. I’ll get a hold of you through Strava.
Keep these KOMing because they truly inspire the free spirt of cycling. I love this Safa!!!
great ride. And my respect goes to the guy with the tail light that's turned on.
The way they keep leap-frogging each other on the final descent really shows the advantage of riding in the draft.
Great run but wow, the traffic.
cool ride!🤩
majestic
Was very nice the motor bike waited to escort the dropped rider through the tunnel before leaving him
Since I suck at riding bikes this video is a fantastic way to give me anxiety 10/10 vid tho 🙏🏽🙏🏽
Really amazing ride bro
I want to do these sort of cycling journeys with my mates at some point and just enjoy the environment (nature etc) & of course speed of my road bike.
Wow me to
what a great safa👌 from 🇵🇭
Well done
Amazing🤩
My dream!!
Recently tried a similar climb in Northern, GA. Generally, the same specs...must have been the Floridian in me but like Taylor, I had to call it quits after a short while. The climb was absolutely gruesome.
Who's got that crack-a-doo? Bottom bracket gone or chain rubbing the derailleur?
Brilliant ride! Scenery as well! 💪
my legs were burning, my heart rate was pounding, and my breathing became labored watching the ascents
Fearless ending!
please more videos like this 🔥🔥
I'm breathing heavy just from looking at you climbing :D
The camera man deserve a medal, great job , how many miles was this route ? I really enjoy watching you guys doing this circuit , traffic was very nice to you.
WAW, Spectacular
Superb ride - the creaking was mind numbing.
My bike does the same, any idea where it comes from?
disc brakes . they suck.
@@dtrain5519 Not his brakes lol
@@dtrain5519 That is not the sound of a disc brake issue. That creak could be any number of other things though, such as a nascent frame crack, bottom bracket fitment issue, insufficient greasing of stem/handlebar interface (if not one-piece) etc.
Hello. Nice video! In what program do you add telemetry?
That was a super dodgey ride on those roads and tunnels with no lights
Super effing dangerous end to that final descent. Could have easily been taken out by a car turning right. I love descending as much as the next cat but man....
Putting your life in the hands of dumb ass drivers, no thanks.
😮awesome ride😊
that is so sick good job
it looks like a video game. awesome vid
Those handlebars on that BMC should be made illegal right now! That's a crime against cycling 😂
Nope that's someone following everything the pros do.
