Dave Frear

Oh, I missed it in the Video

So he was pretty close! Were you plans to go down Holly Jim?

I didn't find the route on Telegram. My friend who know that area really well took a stab at where the thought you went. Is this about right? That is some really hard riding on a mountain bike.

Can't wait to see your adventure. You were in my neck of the woods, but I didn't think you'd go after finding out the forest was closed. Did you or Chris do a GPS recording of your route? (please post) I've ridden my mt bike up to 4 corners (Maple Springs), that is a hard ride. I knew my Z10 wasn't up to it and the Monster doesn't have enough power. Glad to hear you didn't get tickets, and are alive to tell your stories.

Where was that second picture taken? I need to get a bigger wheel

Are you thinking about 30 miles round trip?

I wont be going hope you all post lots of videos!

Looks like a great school to send our kids.

I'll be traveling from Costa Mesa, there's a possibility I can swing by and pick you up.

does the Z10 have a tube, or is it tubeless? I filled my with the slime intended for tubes, not tubeless. Though I'm not sure if there is a difference.

@Girth BrooksYou may be right about my choice of helmet. Right now I'm going slow on an E+. When I get the Z10, I may need to reevaluate.

I am not a fan of wearing earphones while riding, and especially those on the trail with me, wearing them. I am a cyclist first. Nothing worse that coming up on someone and yelling at them when you are passing, and they don't hear you. I haven't come up on someone on a wheel carving back and forth (like the roller bladers). But I know I have almost hit many a joggers that are oblivious. Wearing a full face motocross helmet, then putting earbuds in, I can't imagine you could hear anything. I know with 30MPH wheels, you don't expect to get passed, but I'm sure it happens. I wouldn't want to be the one taking a group of cyclist down and giving wheel riders a bad rep for not sharing the road. (OK, you can kick me of this site now)

I ordered one of these https://www.aliexpress.com/item/ROCKBROS-Light-Sports-Helmet-Ultralight-Bike-Helmet-Intergrally-molded-Mount-Climbing-Cycling-Bicycle-Helmet-Safety-Men/32850806530.html?spm=2114.10010108.1000013.2.3fa26136l0JN9K&gps-id=pcDetailBottomMoreThisSeller&scm=1007.13339.99734.0&scm_id=1007.13339.99734.0&scm-url=1007.13339.99734.0&pvid=7dd45cbf-e326-4341-847e-f879d42b56cb I don't think it has any safety ratings. Or won't be good for multiple falls. But I like the idea of integrated lights. I like to ride at night, need to see stuff in the road and more importantly, be seen. I dropped my old cycling helmet a few days ago and broke the rock-lock. So I needed a new one. Plus didn't like having my Cateye light mounted on top (like a GoPro) when riding around in the daytime. I live in southern California, so needs to be well vented. I will post some kind of review when I receive it.

Crystal Cove in Southern California The hills and the distance (only 8 miles) put me on the limiter by the end of the ride on my E+. https://www.strava.com/activities/1995255873
