Riding Suicide

#followcamfriday riding Suicide in So Cal with my homies from Worldwide Cyclery.

Strange as it sounds, this was my first time anywhere near Southern California. The crew over at Worldwide Cyclery was stoked to show me one of the local classics, Suicide. 

Just a touch of smoke and pollution make for epic sunsets. Health levels aside, this was one to remember. Jeff Cayley, owner of Worldwide, grew up around here, pushing his DH rig up this track to bang out laps. Now we have bicycles that pedal to the top and ride down faster than an a proper Dh rig from 10 years ago ever could. My how times have changed.  

Jeff and Jared enjoy tequila as much as I do.
​You can check out a podcast that we recorded while I was at the shop HERE

I also recorded a video for the Worldwide Youtube Channel in which we talk tech and, wait for it.... Drink tequila. Would you expect anything less? Watch the video HERE

I will have to come back and visit again when there is some moisture present in the ground. Most of the forest is also closed due to the wildfire situation, so another trip is definitely in order when things settle down a hair. 2020 par for the course. I'll be back!Perhaps if the global travel ban is still in order this winter, I will make some time to come here and train.

That afternoon light though.... Nothing better than running trains with the boys. 

This was my first trip out of Colorado since Covid. It was a bit strange, if I am being honest. I was self contained in my van, but still, things just felt different. Maybe this is just how LA always feels. It's probably less crowded now, thanks to Covid, but there is still an inordinate number of humans everywhere. I was passed by 100 Teslas while I was cruising at 80 in the middle lane. Complete culture shock, coming from small-town Colorado. 

That's good roost.
