The NOW Ride - LA's fastest group ride | Filmed with Insta360 X3 !

Рет қаралды 210,870

Күн бұрын

The NOW Ride is a staple in LA's rich group ride landscape. I filmed it on the Insta360 X3 camera (safa.link/insta360-x3) which is a really good way to capture one of these rides. Usually the camera is only pointed in one direction so you miss a lot of what is happening in the group around and behind the lens but this time it's all on display.

I like it at the end when you are rolling at 42-43 mph after the last climb with the final 4, and you are flicking your elbow letting them know to pull through.... LOL Super-Tuck was the only way past you for just 1 of the boys 😉 and that Sprint finish where you finally got the Win for that ride was a RAD effort for sure. Deep video!!

Great stuff this 77 year old ex-racer with Afib loved it. Be safe out there. Thank you. Leave your helmet on, I have seen more than a few go down just rolling in after a hard ride. One fellow just about lost a finger, another guy a broken hip, and a young woman lost her life rolling into a park at a food stop and a car took her out. She had just taken off her helmet after a hard 50. Be safe out there all the time. Did I mention his third broken hip.

Great / well done! See point of big group rides as a race, only mainly! In turkufinland took part in group rides few times but there racing seriously was frowned upon. So for those plants it was just about drafting long distance, but nobody spoke so it wasn't a social event.
