I come from a motorcycle background here and im just amazed. We like nice fat tyres so that we can lean real deep down into corners and take them as fast as possible. You know more rubber, more surface area, more traction. But on the cycling side you guys like them narrow tyres, i get its probably faster and affects the ride in many factors but it just amuses me how you manage to keep that much traction while in a full lean. and wouldn't one tiny stone or hole in the ground = wreck ? Great vid man and ride on. Seems you guys are really pro!

Thanks for the views and comments. To those who need more speed, post your own video and lets see what you can do

i been biking my whole lifetime but my interests got more into uphill / downhill mountains because i love to drive through gravel and dirt and stuff. what really is wicked sick that you go uphill faster than im down. big respect for the average of 150 watts .. that aint bad

These corners look tight if you check out the angle of the bikes I'm guessing the camera is,as most do,flattening out the actual severity of the road. I can go 40+ easily on a nice straight descent as could 99.9% of cyclists but add to this the road surface the corners and missing potholes and this guy was pretty fast in my humble opinion ..so thanks for the great video i really enjoyed it

Glendora, CA. Road is called Glendora Mountain Road. While you're down here you can climb and descend Mt Baldy Rd. That's a road I can easily hit over 50mph on. I used to bomb down this descent but I'm not much in a hurry anymore with how many time I've gone up and down it.

I watched this video two days ago and have had this damn song stuck in my head ever since lol nice video man.

Climbing or descending, I love GMR

That also looks like it would be a lovely climb. Nice riding, man!

Интересный ролик. Есть куда стремиться. Мы в августе поднялись на Эльбрус. А знакомых наших с вертолетом эвакуировали. Это был полная *****))

YES. Climbing is the main course. Descending is the dessert.

Awesome road, I wish we had some mountains where I live, but my country (Holland) is almost entirely flat. I only get two bridges when I do my regular 40km ride (about 25 miles). In fact, there is now a group of people planning on building a mountain here, can you believe that? Great gadgets on your bike too, by the way. In the old days (early 80s) we could only guess how fast we were going, imagine that!

I'll second that! I would LOVE a piece of road like that over here!

Cool video, cool descent. Love me some GMR. Friend of mine uses dashware on a lot of his rides and races. He uses just about every visual feature you'd want, including g-force on turns. Search "Descending Stunt" for an example. Oh, and that's me in the front.

looks fun! great vid

i think the closest i have ever seen would be in the peak district but you can go through several different weather climates on the way down, so good old england playing its fun games again..

It looks like a fun descent, but I was surprised to not see speeds over 40mph on grades from 4-6%. I know there are corners, but it seems like the rider could have opened it up more on the straight sections. I can understand if this was the first time doing the descent, it's always good to coast the first time down an unknown road for safety reasons.

That's a fabulous road chaps!.. although from this perspective I almost imagined that I was pedaling myself.. hehe

That invite may not have been for me, but daamn I'd love to come over and try that road. Wish it wasn't on the other side of an ocean. I don't know of any good descents in my area. Only one is straight and pretty short.

really great vid, looks like a fantastic descent, would make a nice climb too :)

watching this reminds me i always wanted a road bike....

nice work... i like the choice of music. it suits the video images

@MrMadonplanes It's a tail wind. It's wind speed relative to rider.

Beautiful descent :)

In fact, when you start getting to speeds that you're talking about, another 100 watts adds you 1 mph. And then the next mph takes 120 watts beyond that. Once you start getting to these speeds, aerodynamics is a far more dominant factor in your speed. A 1 mph difference in the windspeed results in a mile per hour on the bike at these velocities. So, if he went down with a 3 mph headwind, and you went down with a 8 mph tailwind (which isn't that much when you're still), you'd go 11 mph faster.

Awesome! This is the best video I have seen in youtube!

really enjoyed your video

so friggin awesome

@firefern1990 Its the stem/bar mount that came with my Garmin. just used a couple zip ties. Its mounted there because it gets in the way of my iBike Pro.

I agree. A local cyclist and racer died during his descent last year. RIP Kevin Unck.

I'd ignore the less positive comments about in being too shallow , slow, straight, etc. It's just good fun! I do like the telemetry in the screen though ..and the music!

come to england, we have lots of.. rain and flat bits of road that are very windy. it is sooo much fun, not. jealous of your big hills and sunshine!

the speedometer looking thing on the upper right hand corner makes the video looks more intense )

Lol I know what you mean. I used to be like "wooohooo lets go as fast as possible" on Mt. Lemmon. Now its like "meh, I'll save my back and legs for the ride home."

If you looked at his wattage, it didn't seem like he was pedaling all that hard. At -6%, I usually try to hit at least 45-50mph. If I'm going to climb up a road, I'm going to have fun coming down, no soft pedaling!

I wish I had a bike like this

Tell me about it. I crashed descending Crystal lake a month ago. Went down at 38mph. Still had to ride home 20 miles from there.

I live 3 miles from this route. They're all over the place where I'm at.

Descent. A more than decent descent.

Hey, I'm Greg. 13 Years old. Man, I love this decent. Did you make it to the top of the ski lifts? Its a moderate climb, but after 30 miles of getting to it with a slight uphill grade, it is completely tiring. Great video.

the song is 102 by Kiko

The ibike doesn't have a timecode to sync with the GoPro video. I need that to sync the data gauges in Dashware. The Garmin does have a timecode and I merged the Ibike and garmin data together

Nice descent 😜

adoro!!! adrenalina pura.....

Way to corner like a boss! +1

you need to tell the rider in front of the camera that his seat is too high up! His hips are rocking

I'm just thinking how hard to climb that mountain with bicycle...

Hi there, just for curious... why did u use iBike Pro and Garmin Edge 305 together?, u need one of them for something specific?. Great video by the way, like the song ;).

Thanks for the words.. I'm leaving his post up to show the viewers what kind of idiots exist in the world. Its those guys that make the good people look better.

Cool video! By the way, can you tell me what software you used to get those graphics 'speedometer' on the screen? I really want them to appear on my screen.

Really cool device/ meters there bro! not sure what they're called but it's awesome >:D

Gatorskins

Awesome video! Might be a stupid question, but how did you mount your Garmin to your top tube? Did the Garmin come with a mount for that?

You can find harder climb in enduro than in road, w/ the amazing descent ;) but road remains great :P

Espetacular!!!!!!!

The graph was made with Dashware editing software. It uses numbers pulled from my power meter. It is only as accurate as my power meter is.

Good riding

This is fantastic video. Could you please tell me how did you import data from iBike and Garmin to the video?

thanks for this is nice video 😊

It wasn't the gearing. I didn't want to be rude and pass the lady ahead of me. I also weigh 127 lbs. Or 152 if you include bike gear and water

2010 Cannondale Super six with SRAM red. Mavic open pros with Continental Gatorskin hardshells

I think they work for the average amateur. It is consistent. Is 1 watt exactly 1 watt? I don't think so, but from day to day it'll show you if you're improving. Its also easy to swap among my two bikes.

What are your impressions of the iBike power meters? I like the appeal of their relatively lower cost compared to most power meters, but I'm not familiar with how well they function next to something expensive like an SRAM Quarq, for example.

hey ... that's an awesome soundtrack !!! what's the name of the song ??? ... really good track man

How do you watermark the metrics gauges on the video in a synced manner? Is the iBike connected to the GoPro?

Very interesting to see power input. I'm impressed. But what does the blue line represent?

The wide angle of the GoPro can be deceiving. The corners are sharper than they look

nice video

That's nice. How fast were you going up?

Nice vid, what you using to get your data into that cool widget thing??

without any doubt it would. If i was to jump on Brad Wiggons bike i'd go at least 10mph faster than i do on mine simply down to all the specifications and add ons he has. If he jumped on my bike, he'd not be doing 35mph in a time trial any longer. So, without any doubt the bike has an impact on the rider going faster or slower. Theres no way Brad could go 35mph on a Carrera from Halfords, even though i'd love to see him try lol

The entire descent is roughly 13.5 km. You can see most of it in my other video titled GMR Descent 2

I'm using dashware to import that data to the video

I only ride this on weekdays. Weekends are potentially deadly with Cars and motos.

wow all that pedaling to hit 30? with 6-7% downhill? U must be feather light, I coast at 35 those downgrades and take a break

I would love to climb this thing

I have a set of Continental gatorskin hardshells that are 1.5 years old with 6000 miles. I am unable to wear them out. I am 140lbs.

sweet video, what program do you use to add to the gopro of your garmin and ibike info into the video?

@toretto94Extrem go to dashware.com you're going to need a powermeter or GPS of some sort.

Very serious ya turtle !!

Does the garmin pickup the power data from the iBike?- just curious I have an iBike gen 3 also

Why don't you tuck in? I go down Mt. Lemmon tucked in and I go even faster than this with a headwind. It curves just as much: I take the racing line, tuck in and I go like 35 when it hits 7% just tucking in. I go around tight turns at 35, and the average grade isn't much different. For me it's far faster than pedaling.

Do u even press the break!!!! Them leans make me never want to ride a bike again like its gonna slip

Clicked away as soon as I saw it was in mph

Probably sprinting and/or with a tailwind. Do the math and you'll really start to get the concept of the v^3 law in the force portion of the differential equation involving drag and bicycle speed. That is the proportionality. The force is proportional to velocity cubed, approximately. That is, unless you can do 1420 watts on a 7% grade in no wind. You both likely had strong tailwinds.

That is my cadence in RPM

I wish I had routes like this! Where do you find these?!

do you know if I can use the system on ski to check and put the data on the video like you? Please answer.

I am not understanding the 28-32 MPH "speeds".

have a crazy man up the hill???!!!!

well why don't you post a video then, Mr. Perfect. By the way are able to leap tall buildings in a single bound?

I think I was not much in shape at that time. My max is 200.

I much rather climb. descending is just an after thought for me.

@gemcxx I ended up creating one using the existing guage

I used Dashware. I think they have a trial version

Looks like you have a Garmin on the top tube as well?

160bpm when descent? What HR do you have when climb than? My max is 177- according to age, of course

Is the ibike actaully accurate, have you had any problems with it?

Oh lol i thought it's a game - but its not and even better!

we wanna see from the guy that's ahead of you!

Please when i desent with my bycycle the bike start to vibrate ? Please Bikers help !
