The Nichols Ride is equal parts short, scenic, brutal, and exhilarating. After a couple of miles of slow rolling through west Los Angeles, the competitive side of the ride kicks off when the light goes green at Hollywood Blvd.
From there riders climb up through the Hollywood Hills on Nichols Canyon Road with a quick and sharp detour on La Cuesta Drive to reach the top of the main climb at Mulholland Drive.
Once up top the terrain is rolling hills with great views out over of the valley. The constant up and down on Mulholland is easily as hard as the main climb with riders split into smaller groups having to take turns facing the wind. The 'finish line' for this part of the ride is just near the crest of the last climb.
After a regroup the ride heads back down to flatter ground on Sepulveda Boulevard.
Final three riders with me:
Joe (navy blue) @emmerlin
Taylor (green/white/blue) @taylorwdawson
Nico (white) @nicom8

@TheXtrafresh 4 жыл бұрын

They do ignore any and all traffic rules obviously, so don't take it as a moral or legal endorsement, but from a safety perspective: on the intersections they only go when sightlines are clear, and they do squeeze the brakes when they aren't. The camera adds a bit of drama to the passes and the proximity of the other riders.

Dude...thanks a bundle...I live in the DR and we've been in quarantine for over a month now...I compete as a master and didn't want to lose too much condition. I only use a trainer for a pre time trial warm up...but under our current pandemic condition I've no choice as to use it while confined to my home. I'm not into the Zwift, I'd rather use the trainer while watching real people ride real bikes on a real road if you know what I mean. Been watching some Asian videos but today I ran into yours while searching...and totally loved it! I rig my trainer in my living room right in front of my large tv screen and it was as being with you guys on the ride...really enjoyed it. Keep it up.
