one of the many things I love about your videos is the showcasing of LA. Ive only been once and I thought it was a dirty car infested mess. Your videos show the other side of LA. Looks like a lot of fun up in the hills.

Growing up in San Diego, we were conditioned to have contempt for everything about LA. These last few videos have me thinking that one of the pillars of my native belief might not be entirely valid. Beautiful videos.

Phil, I don't want to ass-kiss too much (for the sake of your ego), but I must say your LA videos are fantastic. As a cycling Angeleno, I see your videos like mini love-letters to a city so many people love to bag on - myself included. I enjoy watching you destroy a climb that usually destroys me. Sometimes I get to learn about new places to ride with your "inside" info helping to take some of the guess-work out. So thanks. You have been a pandemic bright spot!! And if that blows your ego up, so beit. See you on streets!

I was recently in LA (I live in Toronto) and I brought my bike. I was inspired by this video and I did the Hollywood sign (twice), the Observatory (twice), the reservoir (three times), Mulholland Drive and some other rides too. I was also lucky enough to meet up with a local close to my age (I'm 67 now) who showed me 'safer' roads to ride on. Very nice chap. If I ever go again I would have to update my gearing - grinding up hills at low cadence isn't fun. Thanks for the inspiration in your video.

Kinda lost you after you mentioned make a left on Ledgewood. So from Beechwood, you make a left onto Ledgewood and then make a slight right onto Deronda Drive, where Ledgewood intersects Deronda Drive and Rodgerton Drive. Deronda Drive is what ultimately takes you to the Hollywood sign entry to Mt Lee Drive. : )
