    Yeah, but it was with my 700c road uni. This is the route I ride in Rancho Palos Verdes. On this day I did the route called "The Big One". It's about 7 miles round trip and starts at Forrestal & PV drive South, goes up Forrestal to High tide to Ganado, (both have up to 16% grades) then Crest to the Radar towers. This footage was shot after that ride, with me setting up my tripod as soon as I saw road bikes coming, then had to ride like heck to get into position behind them, and then pedal like crazy to catch up! For this reason, some of the angles are a bit off, especially the "Switches", where my camera was so off tilt it makes the climb look like it's downhill! But it was fun to make this video.
