Nice video! Only a little slow, from what I saw. Do you do 100+ miles routes? :)

[ckddudaos5]

what's the purpose of having a handle in the middle? what does it do?

[sgsgent]

@ckddudaos5 The bars in the center are called aero bars, which allows your body to become more aerodynamic.

Gotta love aerobars

[CyclingMikey]

Nice vid! Just looks great with the aerobars in view...

[timgaylehughes]

Nice ride!

[JVCNKIDZ]

great video and thank you for posting. If I may, how long was your trip, distance and time?

[sgsgent]

@JVCNKIDZ The route is 36 miles, which takes us about 3 to 3 1/2 hours.  There is a map link if you click on the "show more" which expands the information about the video. Glad you liked the video.

Nice video...I have to admit I do miss California.

[kantrzyn]

Nice roads, super landscaps. Not like ours polish mostly dirty and full of holes roads.

Nice video.

[talkercv]

love the song

[thewhisperingone]

Wow! What an amazing place to ride a bike fast! If only we had trails like this in Ireland. All hills and crap weather. Very nice mate.

[dregerclock]

fun seeing your videos of many of the routes we have done before too!

[sgsgent]

@dregerclock thanks to you and the Best OC group for posting the videos and maps. On Jan 29th we actually passed by your group going the opposite way on the Peters Canyon Trail. It really is a small world!

[dregerclock]

@sgsgent - ha! fun... I was not riding with the group that day. Maybe some time we will fly past each other again!

[sgsgent]

@dregerclock do you think a high five at a combined speed of 40+ mph will hurt? Maybe just a wave will do.

[dregerclock]

@sgsgent - could try and do a high five... you might have to do a low five to reach me! ;-)

but yeah, lets not try it!

[sgsgent]

Thanks for sharing your comments! Hope to see you all on the path!

[samstterhamstteer]

[dxplosiv1]

looks like a wonderful ride. Sweet video!

[MrJamessproule]

That just looks like the nicest area to live in, and you even have your own roads to cycle on away from the traffic!!! very jealous. wish we had somthing like that here in ireland.

[123seal]

Wow i live in this area. I ride this trail on the week ends, I'm 16 years old and i really would love to join you guys one day. I really want to continue this sport its my passion.

[ShinyBlackRims]

Thanks a lot for posting this! What a nice loop to ride around. This video is more stable than those recorded from above the helmet.

[nonixdelux]

[sgsgent]

@nonixdelux Thanks for the kind words. The Guepardos Ciclismo look like a great ride.

[koko56]

Man that's an awesome area!

What was your avg speed? Also was it windy at all?

[ahnmochi]

@koko56 The video makes us appear much faster than we are. Coming downhill from San Gabriel Canyon is lots of fun, most of the time the speed downhill is over 25mph. That day we were teaming up to catch Henry on the climb which increased our average speed to about 17-18mph. We had some crosswind (7-10mph gusts) coming back across the Santa Fe Dam. Thanks for your interest!
