It definitely helped knowing Jeff was there to help me if I got into trouble. Allen @jrkline was very patient with me when we first started riding (I had maybe two months under my belt). So Jeff's my wingman for newbies on our mountain rides. We try not to lose anyone - at least on their first ride 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ombre Posted March 30, 2017 Share Posted March 30, 2017 Here's a bit of scenery (less than 2 minutes long) from this afternoon's ride in sunny Tucson Arizona, along a dry wash on the east side of the city. LOVING the new V5F, by the way. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post captainwells Posted March 30, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 30, 2017 Here's a few clips from my typical daily ride on the beach bike path through Hermosa Beach, King Harbor, and Redondo Beach in California. It's my first attempt at a video. Still trying to figure out the angles. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's my first attempt at a video. Still trying to figure out the angles. Awww yes. I'm familiar with that ride (most of it that is). When you were riding through the Marina, do you turn into the entrance to the Marina from the bike path as it goes along Habor Dr ? And then later on did you take the street Portofino Way to the path near Sea Side Lagoon and Joes Crab shack? (By the way, the video was nicely done.) Sometimes, I ride from my apartment in El Segundo, down the rather long steep hill on Grand, to the bike path, and then follow the bike path all the way to where it ends at Torrance Beach. One time, I went north on the bike path from my apartment in El Segundo, to Marina Del Rey, to Venice Beach, to Santa Monica Beach, and then to Pacific Palisades where the bike path ends. Nice long ride. (I did that ride at about 7am on week day to avoid lots of people and traffic.) Allen Allen 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 @captainwells A really beautiful route. How far could you go (one way) in theory along the beach? Also, any idea how much one of these houses right next the beach and pedestrian walk (as seen at the beginning) would cost? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
abinder3 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I believe that the path from end to end (Torrance Beach to Pacific Palisades) is suppose to be 21 miles. I know some of the houses in Manhattan Beach along the bike path/beach are at least a couple million USD. Allen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, I've been riding with @captainwells almost every week. Sometimes we go to Torrance Beach and sometimes to Venice Beach. Always a great ride unless the wind is blowing from the west at 20mph 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Hunka Hunka Burning Love Posted March 31, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted March 31, 2017 (edited) Omigosh, I've never taken sailing lessons before, but are you supposed to have your port or starboard side facing the waves directly like that? I guess with a wave that large hitting it with the bow at an oblique angle would have flipped it anyways? @meepmeepmayer - I think it'd be my dream to quit my day job, hit Jason McNeil up to hire me to do an RV Mobile EUC Demo tour of the US. I'd tow a small trailer with a bunch of different EUCs selling them off where ever I stop. I'd get a Mavic and document my trip on Youtube. I actually took a month long trip down the Oregon coast just hitting the State Parks and meandering my way almost down to San Francisco. It was a great trip, and the EUC would have come in super handy as getting firewood and hiking along all the trails takes so much time. @Joey Serrin That Sherpa is CRAZY! Excellent concept to design work. It's so cool that you got all the batteries and everything inside the wheel. Now that's thinking um inside the wheel? Outside of the box? I'm confused... Sherpa Golf anyone? Edited March 31, 2017 by Hunka Hunka Burning Love 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only a few views - you need to post it somewhere - that's the makings for a viral video They must have been terrified when it was capsizing - glad they weren't injured (which is amazing) 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That isn't a very big vessel to be out in high winds. Allen 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Great video, very nice day and scenery, great camera work, at about 4:57 you reached the perfect speed to make the tire appear to stop and then slowly start rotating backwards, cool illusion. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
