Mammoth Gravel Guide (4K)

[@clausherther]

My gravel bike and I are going to Mammoth in 2 weeks and I'm so stoked! Thanks for making this!

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

If you're making it out to Mammoth Tuff, I'll be there!

[@PiquePictures]

I will definitely have to come down to California one day with my gravel bike! The riding always looks so amazing and the weather is certainly better than it is in British Columbia. Keep the great videos coming! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

I heard there's some great Zwifting in Vancouver this time of year...

@@GravelBikeCalifornia Just getting ready to head to the pain cave now!

[@rotciv319]

I've ridden Mammoth many many times over the years but only on mountain bikes. I did ride my gravel bike around June lake once (epic!) but I never thought to do a proper gravel ride in Mammoth until now. Excellent vid as usual!

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

We should hook up for a ride one of these days!!

[@clandersmac]

Go Bears!. I love watching the videos and adding your routes to my to-do list, but it was really fun to see the Cal gear on today. As for your ride, I do almost all solo riding out of habit. I was impressed/nervous for you when you started having to make route choices in unfamiliar terrain. I've been lost on roads like that it and it can be unsettling..especially in cold weather and the thought of night riding in day gear looming. You stayed calm and sorted it out. Well done. Thanks for another nice video.

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

I totally agree about being nervous about doing something unfamiliar, but I couldn't ask for better resources than Dave and Amanda on this one. Plus, if things went sideways I wasn't in areas where people could easily reach me. I was also surprised how long I kept my layers on, but what do you expect from a blueblood?

[@chil5150]

I agree 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@notdeadyet3929]

I did the same thing you did trying to find the Tuff trail portion by instinct (on your day 2) I laughed by arse off as I saw you do the same thing 11 months earlier as I 👍🤣😂😅

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

It was a real lesson learner for me...

[@zacharyhoover1949]

This was fun, man. Nice riding. Also, optimus prime. LMAO. Looked beautiful. I kept showing my wife clips including of your kiddo being like, “see, we could go with A!”

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

Dig it. Watching others do this has gotten me into this and I'm just glad to be part of this chain.

[@babymg4722]

Hey Cuz. Great video. Great narration. Looks like a great trip.

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

Thanks. One of my favorite videos I've done so far, but I can't agree on listening to my own voice....

[@calmenda]

You were repping Cal hard in this episode. Go bears! 🐻 (Class of 2003 here)

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

You tell the story....

[@mattkavanaugh5623]

Beautiful video cinematography!

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

So glad I did it in 4K!

[@bikelanez7376]

So beautiful this was breathtaking 😍

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

Thank you so much!!

[@drouleau]

Great video!

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

Thanks! I want to see what you do with your 9.

[@unchewable1]

Another great video thanks man

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

Thanks. It look awhile with all this footage. Thinking about doing a second with the stuff I didn't use.

[@howellgillogly2406]

Next time please hit up Lower Rock Creek single track that ends in Paradise, it's one of THE best trails in California, but do it on a mountain bike. If you want to break your legs climb up Silver Canyon to White Mountain peak. It's doable on a gravel bike running 40's or larger.

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

They all sound like suffering!!

[@mellissanash7517]

You didn't go to the Mammoth bike park? Trailforks has been pretty good in finding trails & fire roads.

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

I think I'd kill myself on a mountain bike. I can barely handle this one!

[@mellissanash7517]

[@ericbono]

What was the app you mentioned? I wasn't clear how gmaps was messing you up (not that I doubt it at all). When I can, I lay out trips in komoot, especially if I'm not used to an area.

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

Google maps wasn't clear on the road info there, but I was fine once I downloaded the Ride w GPS app. I was surpised to get great reception out there too.

[@Clearbrowser]

When was this filmed ? The weather don’t look to bad.

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

The middle of October. Things changed quickly....

[@backatya-bi8rx]

Hey, what tires are those?

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

Those are WTB Raddlers 40s

[@DJhunta]

I can just hop on my bike it’s my home haha. That’s what I do. To cold for riding. I guess you haven’t seen my KZbin channel :D

[@DJhunta]

Enjoyed the video though.

[@DJhunta]

Oh yeah the out of town signage is no bueno.

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

When does the snow let up?

[@DJhunta]

@@GravelBikeCalifornia usually mid April but not uncommon to receive a foot of snow during the month of May and June. They is great Gravel riding in Bishop area with lots of history. Good place to create a video in the future. Laws museum and the old train route. Which I still have to learn more about.

[@DJhunta]

The Aerohead Cycles out of Bishop do a lot of gravel rides.

[@dopeone700]

5 hour drive? I'm up there in 3 1/2 hours!

[@GravelBikeCalifornia]

We um....stop a lot...for stuff....
