    Mt baldy STARTS below the elevation of LT100 mtn bike race which hits 12,500 feet --- Oxygen decreases greatly above 9k feet.. Awesome footage you got! Definately a ride to remember! Best video you've made in my opinion ! loved it!

    • @DeanJohnson67
      @DeanJohnson67 Před 8 lety

      Vincent Romero you must be stoned! I never said Mt. Baldy doesn't go to 10+k feet! Simply said it starts lower than Leadville which is 10k going to 12.5k..

      @Oryxization Před 8 lety +2

      +Dean Johnson This is his best ever, but I think it's one of the best I've ever seen on CZcams. Motivational times ten plus lulz. I loved the part where he walks up a gully and sees the road above. lol. Best vid on CZcams right now.

      @jessecole6631 Před 8 lety +2

      +High Carb Hannah When cycling into areas where there are bears, bear spray is always a good idea. Just like carrying a chain tool, you probably won't need it but its a life saver if you do.

    @admlorenz Před 8 lety

    Took my 26" Univega up with 1.5" tires. The restaurant at Baldy Village is happy to top off water bottles. Got a rice bowl at the ski lodge, then dropped the tires to about 15psi and rode up the dirt road to the very top of the ski runs, that road was really steep and loose. On the way down I used the mini pump to air back up at the paved road. That is an awesome playground!

  • @DoItYourselfDIYAtHome
    @DoItYourselfDIYAtHome Před 8 lety

    Props!!! That's awesome! Congratulations!!! If there's a will there's a way. I've ran up Mt. Baldy in a running race in September; I did not think that riding a bike would be feasible, but you did it, amazing.

  • @4554dy
    @4554dy Před 8 lety +1

    I have to say man, that is an epic achievement to have done in one day via cycle from S.M. !! You have incredible stamina mate! Funny how you went straight up under the lifts not knowing that the gravel track was right there! I went up Baldy on three different routes with my Dad in the sixties. IT is a trek that must be taken seriously as you found out on the Devils backbone. Many have died on Baldy ill prepared for what it frequently dished out. Many Aussies in LA including two daughters of my own. Lived in Queensland 15 years. Hey from Oregon! Cheers!

  • @tagawa

  • @josephantaree6876

    My my, AA+ for Aussie Awesome. Durian, I'm 73, vegetarian since '74, yogi, lifetime athlete, swim, ski and mostly road riding since '84. IF you are careful, no reason you can't carry superb fitness well into your 50s/60s. I did and know others. And . . . At a point of years and miles down the road handling the effects of wear and tear on the body becomes a challenge best dealt with humbly and fortitude. The body simply takes longer to heal, longer to recover. And with indomitable soul force and spirit problems can be overcome, and radiant health with relative fitness enables one to ride for life. Rock on!!

  • @castaway123100
    @castaway123100 Před 8 lety

    Epic ride. Have you considered taking the train (Hollywood to Long Beach) and then taking the ferry over to Catalina Island to ride the ridge on the island. They have lovely camp sites too. I think you would need to start off at Two Harbors on Catalina. The ferry departs out of San Pedro, but there may be connecting trails from Avalon too.

  • @ninjastellar
    @ninjastellar Před 8 lety

  • @castaway123100
    @castaway123100 Před 8 lety

    You can take your bike on the train from Hollywood to the foothills near Mt. Baldy if you want to save time and just focus on going up the mountain. Also, you are near Lytle Creek Campground.

  • @claudiarabe2519
    @claudiarabe2519 Před 8 lety

    Holy cow!! I don't have the words to express how amazing this is! Wow... Lol beyond impressed, you are seriously awesome. I've never been to Mt Baldy and I'm from CA, much less riding a bike from SM to the peak of that mountain...unreal! And you of course would be the indicated person to make that trek! Soo awesome!

  • @cheyeser
    @cheyeser Před 8 lety

    Not only a road bike, you've clipped on the aero bars! Best video ever DR! Last year the missus and I cycled from Manali to Leh in northern India 5600m max elevation on the last climb we were sleeping some nights at 5000m... Had me some crazy dreams.

    He's one of those guys, I always remark on....cause he's epic! Like I drive to my races, but one rider I knew rode to the race. Durianrider RIDES to the ride. Then climbs to the summit. But for a guy who's not impressed by my, glad he likes our So Cal mountains.

    Looking at the the red line on the map put things in perspective. I didn't know you were that strong. That's really amazing! Also, I've never seen anyone hike a dangerous hill like that ....with a bike!!!! Still, the visuals were awesome!!!

  • @mariam-fe7ie
    @mariam-fe7ie Před 8 lety +1

    Why does it help to not stop when climbing? I push as much as I can but sometimes I'll literally fall off my bike if I don't stop. Epic ride by the way. Really inspiring. Been in LA all 17 years of my life and haven't seen or done the shit you have being here two weeks! Sad actually but you inspired me to ride more and explore. Thanks Harley! Nice seeing you at Vegfest today by the way

  • @Snowpeanow

    @dho Před 8 lety

    Arcadia is awesome. Peacocks roam around the residential area, you should revisit if you get the chance. Arcadia high school hosts an elite track meet for grade school students, have kids there running 4:10 1600m and sub 9 minute 3200m's there.

  • @dianaroddel9366
    @dianaroddel9366 Před 8 lety

    Hi Harley! Can you do a ride with the drone? Now that would be epic up there in the mountains. Wonder if the drone operates at those elevations! Nice ride! Hope your resting up today for another epic adventure in CA soon!

  • @Gelenmoss12
    @Gelenmoss12 Před 8 lety +2

    I do similar adventures like you did in the vid on my own as well and always think how awesome it would be to have a mate I could do stuff like that with. But in the end I always end up doing stuff like that on my own.

  • @campingjoe5377
    @campingjoe5377 Před 8 lety

    Great video...!!! What a fricken jaunt....My hat is off to you sir... I hiked 10 hours to Mt. Baldy from Lytle Creek and spent the night up there...almost 40 years ago....You are an animal to tour bike there from Santa Monica and back...what a beast...
    I really enjoy this video...I love what you say about Lance Armstrong and the hot sauce...Lance is still a champ....Thank you...

  • @Sweetbeariesart
    @Sweetbeariesart Před 8 lety

  • @superdaveinca9254
    @superdaveinca9254 Před 8 lety

    Amazing that you are essentially all alone on Mt. Baldy and are only 45 miles from LA with way too many people. This is what I love about California. You can get away if you really want to get away and have some epic rides.

    You really missed a gorgeous bit of ass-kicking climbing (for me, anyway) and mad switchbacks on Glendora Mountain Road. Chapeau for making it all the way to the summit, though! I was well-past DEAD by the time I got to the ski-lift parking lot.
