Some of the best roads paved and unpaved I've been riding and enjoying in Central California for the past few days. Too good not to share

California has some truly great road descents. My favorites are Mount Hamilton Road and Page Mill in Palo Alto.

@lain11644 Ай бұрын

I've done both before. I personally prefer Sierra Road over Mount Hamilton. When we did Page Mill one of the guys in the group crashed and got a concussion.

@dirtrambler Ай бұрын

Agreed! Both are great descents. Almost anything on the way to the coast around the bay area is good. Its hard to go wrong.

@@lain11644 Sierra feels like a roller coaster. You can pick up speed so quickly.

Would it be possible to share the ride info? Possibly links to Strava?

Unfortunately, the roads around me also go up.

As a California resident myself, I am thrilled you were able to visit! If you find yourself in the LA area, you should say hi. I can show you some awesome places to ride :)

@jamessankey01 Ай бұрын

"Too good not to share"....hey David, how about sharing your strava route for this one. Do you have a public Strava profile? I looked and found nothing for "just ride bikes" and too many "David Arthur's". Also in your "Follow me" in the video details, I don't see a strava link.

Central CA coast is really beautiful this time of year, and great roads. If you want to hit some hard climbs, come accross the hills to Central CA, Fresno/Clovis area and do the Climb to Kaiser. 55 miles with over 15,000+ feet of climbing.

@xcity2cityx Ай бұрын

Just don’t come between may-September if you’re not well acclimated to heat☀️🍳. Blessed to live in such a beautiful state, but even though I’m also in central California the distance from these rides from my front door is roughly the distance to Manchester to Newcastle.

@williammurray1620 Ай бұрын

@@xcity2cityx Yeah, it gets hot here in the Summer. We almost hit 100 this past October as well.

Glad you made it to this side of the pond, David! Hope you might make it up to the Bay Area. We’ve got lots of great rides, too!

Great video! where in California ? You should try highway 1, also called Cabrillo Highway, from Carmel to Big Sur, as well as from Morro Bay to Ragged Point. Just amazing

@xavcarmic0686 Ай бұрын

Enjoyed that. Central CA is great for cycling. Looks like you finished in Cayucos ? Had a great holiday there in 2014. Cheers from Australia

Could you share what road this is starting at 5:31? I don't live too far from the sea otter classic but idk what road that is. Thanks!

Awesome ride; I love that place too; cannot wait to see the review of this great Canadian brand! David, if interested in chatting with a doc about cycling cardiovascular health, please get in touch; recently GCN had something on this and they sort of missed the mark in parts - important for your viewers > 45 years of age I would say (as a MD)

If you want a great cycling (only) vacation check out Amish country in Pennsylvania. Beautiful small undulating roads with virtually no car traffic. Cheap hotel iirc was Dutch Treat; take a left out of parking lot and ride for hours and hours.

@sccxvelo Ай бұрын

Thoes were good paved for CA back areas. Normally thoes roads are wishing I was on dirt as it would smother most places. Give it 1.5 to 2 months most of CA will be in heatwaves till the fall when it cools off most anything long term outside and the hills are tinderboxes.
