Just signed up for RAMROD 2024. Saw you guys last year on “ride the hurricane”. Hope to see you out there again!

It's going to be a maybe for me because I had the RBC granfondo that weekend.

Amazing ride and scenery, the trees are so big up there in Washington

[@tonytigerking]

It is always cool to see you just blow people by going up the hill like that. Never gets old.

[@BestSideCycling]

And then dropped by everyone on the downhill 🤣

Great day out on the roads with you on my first RAMROD as well. Cayuse Pass for the win!!

Great video, thanks for sharing. As a fellow Canadian I appreciated the temps in Celsius! 🇨🇦 😊

[@BestSideCycling]

You're welcome! Are you riding Ramrod this year?

[@drlauramaguire]

Yes! There’s a group of 4 of us from Leavenworth headed over next week. Your video was part of the final preparations. It looks like it’ll be a fun day.

Great video that really gives an accurate experience of RAMROD. Love your channel!

[@BestSideCycling]

Thank you so much for watching and supporting the channel! :)

[@jefflester3515]

Nice to have met you out there, really appreciate all the work that goes into making these videos. You are riding strong! -Be safe..

[@BestSideCycling]

Appreciate it and great to meet you too! Hope you had a great ride

[@craigtebeau3393]

You do great videos. Have these rides on my future goals, and it is really great to listen and see your experiences. I love your attitude about climbing, which from now on, I am going to try to adopt vs. always being intimidated by climbs. Great job!

[@BestSideCycling]

Thanks so much for your comment, I appreciate it a lot! You know what they say: practice makes perfect. Every climb that you do, is another one you don't have to be intimidated by. Happy riding and keep us posted on how its going. 🚲 🏔️

[@sheilamoorereynolds]

Thanks for making and sharing this video! I'm a hiker and happened to be camping and hiking in that same area this past week and saw over 100 of the RAMROD cyclists as we were heading back home on Thursday! I was worried about how you guys were going to safely make that left turn off of Hwy 12 towards MRNP!

[@BestSideCycling]

Thanks for thinking of us and hope you had a great time! Luckily they had flaggers in all the key spots in this ride (super well organized) 6:56

[@jeffstranc7829]

Great vlog! Nice ride… I hope you get to do the Inspiration Point route sometime. I’m sure you will enjoy it! Cheers!

[@BestSideCycling]

Thanks for your comment and for sure! Hopefully my luck in the next lottery will be better or I'll volunteer next year :)

[@sheilamoorereynolds]

that rough 10-20 mile area that you talk about on 410 -- they have been busily working on that for the past couple of weeks and I think, unfortunately, that RAMROD occurred before the work was finished :(

[@f00zh]

Congrats on crossing the finish line, bro lasting under extreme temperatures 🌞🥵🚴🏞️👍

[@BestSideCycling]

Thanks homie. Haha can't waste that registration fee 😂
