Sometimes you pick a route because the wind is blowing that way. Kanan and Encinal are not my favourite roads, especially not climbing Kanan through the tunnels. So I roped my friends into coming with me, knowing all they really wanted to do was descend Encinal. Along the way we lost half the gang, but this is road cycling - we hurt each other then stand around and chat like it never happened. Alex wasn't enjoying the crosswinds in a group and bailed early. Taylor had been suffering for a few weeks with the dry air we get this time of year, and his heart almost exploded on the main climb. We also found out he had a slow leak!

    Praise the cameraman for keeping Taylor safe until he got out of tunnel 2.
  • @twintwitch1
    As you get older and many more years on the bike they will realize holding the group together is where it really is at.
  • @NeilHMohamed
    Nothing like struggling badly and all your homie has to say in response is "Im barely even breathing".
  • @zmeeds17
    As a bike mechanic, that creak is killing me. 🤣 Over here trying to diagnose it, like I do on the group rides I go on.
  • @abone2pick
    that road is a death trap . the two tunnels on the climb up kanan are sketch, me and my friend almost got hit but the car was like inches away . never doing that again.
  • @ucdescents
    This channel proves that road bike descending should be a televised sport!
  • This is amazing. Glad you were able to document how us regular people feel when Drake and Safa show up to the ride
  • Tuff ride for Taylor but we all have those days especially when something is getting in the way of your breathing , but that dude always impresses me on these group rides and in any of your videos. He's strong as hell ! Another good one Safa and these bikes are sweet you guys are on.
  • @pookienumnums
    If you pause it at 3:07 you can see how much safa enjoys knowing his friends are about to SUFFER
  • @bigodelock5832
    This is mad bro. I’d probably shit my pants going downhill at that speed, keep them videos coming out way!🤯
  • @KindaTechy
    Fastest I’ve been on my single speed bike was 72kmph and I was so scared lol. Seeing you guys do this is nuts.
  • @PeterLarsenJr
    I really appreciate this video guys! So rare to see a full ride, highest quality video and sound. I learned a lot about group riding watching this.
  • @calerenteuber
    Another amazing video, Brian I have no idea how you have the endurance that you do. Fantastic camera work also Bucky 🤙🤙
  • @jimbojet8728
    That’s how it goes. Never quite as expected. All were safe and ready to fight again. Chapeau!
  • @dan.p.8060
    This was almost like watching a bike race with open roads. Love the moto cam
  • @MrConiye
    Absolutely insane!!!! Nice work guys... Couldn't take my eyes off the screen fo a second 🙌🏾👊🏾💪🏾
  • @emac626
    In the tunnel I kept thinking "grab the moto, Taylor!" What a beautiful video. Thanks guys!
  • that modesty and realness, just-benig-you vibe, is going crazy with you. love the fact that you coming from highlevel-delivery-background in mexico. makes the character complete. Big ups for this channel.
