BATTLING FATIGUE | SAN LUIS OBISPO GRAVEL

Guys, ridewithgps is where it’s at for gravel. Tells you percentage of the route that is paved /unpaved/unknown… also gives you a heat map of where everyone and yourself has been.

[@kawabus]

The heatmaps in RideWithGPS are super helpful

[@lifesagem]

We used Strava Routes which has all those cool features as well but most of it was showing undefined or "nos specified". I will check it out on ride with GPS to see the difference. Thanks again for watching and offering great suggestions!

[@treestotrails]

@@lifesagem great content as always 🚴✨✨

[@chadwells7562]

I use RideWithGPS it’s superior to Strava for routing

[@george8214]

Really great footage and editing. Your tired legs would smoke me every time. Your rides are insane-tons of climbing and lots of miles-day after day after day! I hope to see posts on the 2 bikepacking days with all the climbing. Incredible!

[@esteluxmtb5425]

You guy’s motivate use regardless if you are tired. I understand. I ride and it’s fun and all but it’s not easy specially 16 % . Thank you guy’s for the motivation and all the cool videos ❤️🥳👍

[@lifesagem]

Thanks, that makes us feel better! Your kind comment is greatly appreciated! Stay tuned for more :)

[@teresahotta]

I live in Templeton, love it here. Glad you visited.

[@lifesagem]

Its a great place!

[@jasminelaine496]

So good!!!

[@lifesagem]

Thanks so much! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@wypstory6492]

I always watch your vlogs ,very nice vlogs .While I’m watching your vlogs , I feel very relax .

[@lifesagem]

Thank you so much 🙂

[@collinoneill9838]

You just gotta avoid the freeways like the plague. Working on roadside surveys in California, I always ran into access problems.

[@lifesagem]

We have to plan a better route next time, one that avoids having to take the freeways. Thanks for watching!

[@chadwells7562]

I’m jealous! Spent plenty of time ‘round that part of the world but never did much riding. It’s insanely beautiful.

[@lifesagem]

The beauty of that region is captivating! If you ever have the chance to return and explore it on two wheels, it could add a whole new dimension to your experience. Thanks for watching!

[@teresahotta]

Lol I live with those spines. 😂

[@lifesagem]

Thanks for watching!

[@TravelsWithTony]

Such an amazing area ! Was there once where it was 48F in morro bay and like 90 up in the hills!

[@lifesagem]

It's crazy to witness such a contrast in temperatures within a relatively short distance! Thanks again for watching, hope you enjoyed :)

[@MarioRodriguez-uk3yw]

Amazing drone shots beautiful ride guys awesome job thanks for sharing you guys a awesome Gemma face at the end was priceless 🤣🤣👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽💪🏽 sick shades guys you guys killing it congrats 🤙👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@lifesagem]

Thank you so much for your kind words and appreciation! Joe was actually beating himself thinking that his drone shots weren't that great this time. He wanted me to delete them from the final edit, glad I kept them and great to hear that you enjoyed them. My expression at the end was a clear reflection of how TOASTED I was at the end, glad it brought a smile to your face. We appreciate your support and encouragement. It means a lot to us. Stay tuned for more exciting content in the future!

[@armandovaldez8594]

I really enjoy watching you guys ride as a couple. best times on my bike is riding along with my girlfriend. Keep up the content you guys are doing great

[@lifesagem]

Thanks so much! Having a partner to ride with is truly the best! I'm so glad Joe and I share our love for cycling and that we're able to spend so much time of our lives enjoying what we love to do together. Thanks for your comment and for watching our video :)

[@gravelpack8536]

Great job you two and we all have our off days hang in there.

[@lifesagem]

You got that right! Thanks so much for the encouragement, and thanks for watching!

[@conniecoffeeconniebachmann3211]

Not turtley enough for the turtle club. Oh that takes me back! Nice video. You two are a bit touched!😂

[@lifesagem]

Thanks! Haha I had to ask Joe what that was from. I appreciate the nostalgia that the video brought back to you! Hope you continue to enjoy these!

[@angelagundiz9180]

good job to the both of you. I commute to work 10 miles a day for 5 days and love my ride. I enjoy watching your videos.

[@lifesagem]

Awesome! Thank you! That's a great commute, I will have to start commenting to work soon.

[@RudyGold]

Such an adventure 🫶

[@lifesagem]

Siempre es una aventura con Jose Bachmann!

[@kennydeconinck9378]

Jullie dat goed zalig ❤

[@lifesagem]

thanks for watching!

[@RudyGold]

Go go go Gemma!!!!

[@lifesagem]

Gracias compa!

[@titaniumterri9233]

We’ve all had tired legs days, take a nice Epsom salts soak preferably in a jetted tub….works wonders. If you’re in the SLO area near Lopez lake there’s the Hi Mountain road climb that goes to gravel heading east.

[@lifesagem]

Thank you for the helpful tip! Soaking in an Epsom salts bath is exactly what I needed after that ride. We appreciate the suggestion! And thanks for sharing about the Hi Mountain road climb. We'll make sure to keep that one in mind if we're in the area. Happy riding!!

[@cyclinginsoutherncalifornia]

So weird...I'm riding there next week on Friday! How do we keep meeting like this? Ha Ha

[@lifesagem]

haha, awesome! Have fun out there and stay cool!

[@singletrackflow]

Great video! What brand sunglasses is Joe wearing?

[@lifesagem]

Thanks! He’s wearing the 100% s2 in cool grey :

[@Planetone.]

Maybe Gemma you just had an off day, echale mas ganas para la proxima❤💪 echate un caffesito😊

[@lifesagem]

Thank you for the encouraging words! Everyone has their off days, and we appreciate your support. Pa la proxima vamos con todo!! A little cafecito can work wonders for some but my stomach rejects it 💩, that's why I avoid it. Your kind words mean a lot to us. ¡Gracias por tu apoyo!

[@applicablerobot]

So I want to criticize all the complaining, but then I realize I complain at least that much to myself as I'm slogging up 10% grades on my enduro bike, so... Cool to see the gravel side of the sport, it's interesting to me

[@lifesagem]

Hey there, thanks for watching! Keep enjoying your enduro rides and have fun discovering more about the gravel side of the sport!

[@Vam1500]

What kind of tires do you use?

[@lifesagem]

I have Panaracer Gravelking SK 38mm, Joe has Pirelli Cinturato Gravel H size 40

[@jean-frederickjacques6780]

I live in Livermore CA and want to do some gravel bike riding but need help finding routes. Any advice? I saw in one of your vids you were near Mt Tam. How do find decent gravel bike routes and not mountain bike paths?

[@lifesagem]

Livermore is a great area for gravel riding! To find routes, consider using online platforms like Strava, Komoot, or Ride with GPS. These platforms often have user-generated routes that can be filtered for gravel roads. Additionally, local cycling clubs or forums may provide insights into gravel-friendly routes. When exploring areas near Mt. Tam, focus on fire roads and gravel paths rather than dedicated mountain bike trails. Researching local cycling groups or connecting with riders in your area can also yield valuable route recommendations tailored to gravel biking. Enjoy your gravel adventures!

[@massorongsepeda]

How are y’all mic’d up?

[@lifesagem]

We use the dji wireless mini mic. If you take a close look at my shirt, you’ll see I have a little magnet on the outside that’s holding the mini mic hidden inside my shirt ;)
