The Drewbros Ride Noble Canyon on the Fezzari Delano Peak

[@IronCranks]

Man that Delano is a beast when pointed uphill!! The captains of those vessels are pretty damn good too🤙🏻

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Hey Josh! It does the job pretty darn well!

[@scottconner9580]

Guy's I really appreciate that you show the technical climbing in this video. Many other youtuber's focus on the descending and leave out showing the skill and intricacy it takes to make hard techy climbs. Keep up the great work...

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Glad you dug it Scott! That part is my favorite man. I just love the challenge of those tech areas, especially when they are in a foreign location. Riding is cerebral for Rob and I, this sort of trail is right up our alley. Now, about you calling me a KZbinr...;)

[@Steveott42]

Loved the technical climbing and commentary from each of you when chasing. Great video!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Thanks Steve! It's ALWAYS like this when we ride. Stay tuned for more of these adventures from around the country.

[@exhausteddog819]

Just got my Delano a week ago. Absolutely love seeing this bike in your videos.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Heck yeah! Such a rad bike!

[@westinwilliams4231]

Great review guys. My favorite route is up the access road and then riding down the full trail. You can always stop and ride up some of those tech sections though the downhill is a great day by itself.

[@scottwebster7109]

That looked Gnarly but a fun time. Great job Drew brothers.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

It really was Scott! I can't wait to get back and ride more of it.

[@jeffjacksonmtb]

Both of you guys are beasts! 😤

[@richdrewtherideseries]

I prefer beauty, Rob can be the beast ;)

[@jitterspec]

I dont know you guys but it was super entertaining and educational. I'm in sd and riden noble. You have tremendous skills. Love those bikes as well and considering those for value. 80 percent rider, 20 percent bike

[@ghostdancer9993]

Nice moves on the switchback section. Looking forward to passing that magic around in the class this weekend. I am ready.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

I don't know Victor, Rob doesn't pass that magic around very much ;)

[@gerrygadget]

Oh man, that descent at 16:40 was ALL rocks. Impressed one of them didn't ruin your day, nice technique and great suspension setup to get through that. Talk about techy.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Gerry, let me tell you...it was brutal! My hands were pretty wrecked at that point. Setup is working well on the Delanos, very balanced bike.

[@charlespalmerii4299]

Dang guys that looked tough ... Great job, you guys are very inspiring, makes me want to push myself to get better ! :)

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Fun trail Charles!

[@TCK71]

Incredible skills!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Thank you!

[@thezonemtb]

Love the camaraderie between you two. And what an awesome looking trail! It reminds me of a area in Southern OK.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

It was a rad spot man! WAY different than NWA!

[@jitterspec]

12 miles of hell FTW

[@russelldurtschi]

Dang, really fun video. I just dropped by Fezzari today and ordered me a Delano Peak.

[@talkmauro]

Omg you guys are amazing, that is some gnarly stuff and hard enough decending it let alone climb it.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Thanks Tom! That was a fun ride

[@sheldonupthegrove7822]

Knarly & Chunky! Great fun with the Bro!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

It certainly was...on both accounts!

[@mat2ca578]

Nice work guys, Love the brotherly banter. Looking at getting the Delano Peak. would like to hear a joint review from the Drew Bros. Let the banter begin!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Thanks Matt! I’m hoping to get that dialing review soon 👊🏻

[@LevoRider]

Clinic in Menifee, dang I subscribed to late to find out about that one. You guys tore that up, I was thinking about doing BLT to Noble but I think I need some more miles under my belt before I venture into that gnarly rock garden. I see bent rims and a lot of pedal strikes happening there. San Diego and LA have a ton of trails out here that you guys would like. I hope I can attend one or more of your classes in the near future. Really enjoyed this one, especially the easy going camaraderie you two have.

[@brentwright1640]

Great riding guys and good meeting you out there!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Thanks dude! It was awesome running into you, hope to get back out there soon to shred with ya! Did you read through text below the video?

[@brentwright1640]

@@richdrewtherideseries That's cool thank you, I'll have to brush up my climbing skills for next time!

[@mtbleaks2723]

Can’t wait for the alloy Delano peak

[@gerrygadget]

Nice video guys, great riding. Glad to see the Delanos can handle the rough stuff. Stop in the Albuquerque area on your way back east, there's some fun stuff in the area, lots of variety.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Thanks Gerry! I'm happy to have gotten some time in on trails like this. The only knock I've seen on the Delano is that it gets a bit overwhelmed on "long, sustained rough stuff." It seems to be working well for me. I'd love to get some riding under my belt in Albuquerque at some point. What specific trails do you recommend?

[@robdrew596]

Oh man! This was a fun one! I can't wait to get out on the road with Rich and do more! So many great spots to visit. Where should we go next?

[@richdrewtherideseries]

I have a few ideas 😉

[@JAFO.]

@@richdrewtherideseries Santa Cruz! Wilder Ranch, Soquel Demo, Skyline to Sea Trail, Gazos Creek Road, Chalks Road and for the most beautiful mellow country road ride you'll ever do, park somewhere near/past Delaveaga golf course on *Branciforte Dr,* ride up *Branciforte Dr* out of town about 4 miles, veer _Right_ at the *Y* onto *Mt View* then in 9/10 mile turn _Right_ on to *_N Rodeo Gulch Rd_* and *CLIMB LIKE A MUTHA!* There are a few great vista points when you get near the top, then sit back and take it in for the next 3 easy gorgeous miles. The whole ride on a Spring day is *_world class_* natural beauty. When I hit the edge of the city I like to turn around and ride back ~8 miles (I park at the campground a mile past Delaveaga) but if your day is getting a bit long you can shoot straight through town (Soquel Dr) about 3 fast city miles from the golf course back to your car - or shuttle it. I hope you guys can plan 3-5 days there: _You'll want to_ & you'll need to.

[@gerrygadget]

Love that run that Rob did on stairway. Older bro keeping the younger humble. :-)

[@richdrewtherideseries]

He's been doin it for years!! He has so much technical prowess.

[@Lakers479]

I mainly ride with my younger brother so I'm loving seeing the brother challenges out on the trails. That guy made a nice ending to the video, no shit? woooowwwww🤣🤣

[@richdrewtherideseries]

That was hilarious! I almost broke out laughing!

[@JAFO.]

What I wouldn't have given for an older Brother!

[@AZMTB]

I was there last summer! Didn't have enough time to do the whole ride, but it was enough to know I need to go back!

[@VonSC2]

Haha great watching you two ride together, super entertaining. All ballbusting aside though you guys are also pretty evenly matched on the shkeelz! 😆

[@richdrewtherideseries]

It’s always fun riding with Rob! He’s a bit more technical than I am, that’s for sure.

[@JAFO.]

@@richdrewtherideseries Yeah, I was surprised when he didn't power through as much as you did, especially with his motocross background

[@nwamtb]

wow those rock gardens are insane!!!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

BRO, they’re crazy!!

Appreciate it! Seriously fun trail.

[@jessemackaig9497]

Nice work guys! 👊

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Thanks Jesse!

[@chrisoliveira2038]

Of all the times I've ridden Noble Canyon over the years, I've never considered riding up the main trail ya'll did. There is a much smoother (part road) trail to the top to then ride down. Very impressive job! I need to get out there more often.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

I was just following my brother 🤦🏻‍♂️. We saw that trail, but wanted to get some technical lifts in, we certainly got our money’s worth!

[@jimjohnson8656]

Absolutely awesome. Climbing it. It's a down for me also.

[@cinada2220]

That route is locally known as the elboN trail. People usually take the out before Stairway and continue up the road but there are several other 'outs' on that route to continue your climb to Penny Pines. I prefer Indian creek as my 'up' trail.

[@RobDavis1966]

I haven't ridden Noble Canyon in 30 years back when I lived in SD. Looks like a completely different trail. If we were feeling masochistic we would ride up and down the trail, but usually rode up the fire road and then down. All on hardtails with Mag21's at best. it was such a different world.

[@urg0nnah8me]

Rad to see you shredding my home turf. You should also check out Greer Ranch, Anderson Truck Trail and Ted Williams.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

We’re planning on heading back and hitting all that stuff. It was a blast at Noble, I wish we had more time.

[@urg0nnah8me]

@@richdrewtherideseries I keep looking for stuff like Noble out here in Bentonville. I don't regret the move at all. I just wish there was a little more chunk.

[@crt269]

Shit yeah! That was awesome guys. I loved the banter as well.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

It was a blast Chris! I just wish I could catch all the banter...only problem is the video would be an hour 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@gregwebster8784]

I'm still watching it, but that climb was badass!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Haha, it was pretty damn chunky!

[@durasal81]

Great video! Some impressive climbing by both of you. It’s also great to see how you two interact, challenge, and encourage each other. The guy at the of the made this video a classic...holy shit!! 😂😂🤙🏼🤙🏼

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Thanks Rico! The climbing piece is fun man and it's so cool to watch Rob lay down the silky smooth technique. He turned out to be a really cool dude actually!

[@durasal81]

@@richdrewtherideseries my younger brother would say the same about me, if the check cleared!! 😂 I get to see it first hand tomorrow at TRS class.🤙🏼👊🏽

[@LukeBarousse]

9:55 Can we have all of your rides analyzed by Rob! 🤣😂 He has to have been a sports commentator in a past life!!

[@richdrewtherideseries]

I’d love that! He seems to have a knack for it

[@robdrew596]

I think I will make my KZbin channel just me doing color commentary over all of Rich's videos.

[@LukeBarousse]

@@robdrew596 I'd subscribe to see that!! 🤣

[@zxtenn]

WOW, your Brother has great skills too, you guys are as nimble as cats! Serious exposure there for sure. Loving my 10-52 XO upgrade on my Instinct BC, i really notice the difference, between the extra 2 teeth and dropping 300 grams it sure helps an old man like myself, i ride Blue trails but soon to give a Black a few tries, i need to work more on my conditioning

[@browneye50BMG]

Never seen or heard anyone going UP that way. Cheers

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Rob is gnarly!!

[@jeffp5418]

I rode up the 'fire road' last time and down from the top, its still a lot of climbing and about 20 miles all together, great tech ride.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

I think we will do that next time. Seems like a ton of rad stuff out there!

[@jeff7086]

What a sweet area, that stair way to hell looks tough.

[@richdrewtherideseries]

It's such a rad area and that section is BRUTAL!! I think Rob could've cleaned with another try, but he was pretty wrecked at that point. I'm excited to get back there and see the rest of it.

[@damonendel4847]

Nice! That is some chunk rock. How well would you say the Fezzarri felt on the chunky downhill? Just the right amount of bike? Feel maxed out? Or?

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Felt great to me Damon! Certainly wasn’t under gunned, but I was doing my best not to smash through everything. I’ll ask Rob to give his input

[@philipskinner2557]

did you take the truck off a dealer lot for a test drive?

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Haha! It was a loaner while my van was being worked on 😂

[@TheButlerNZ]

So.. what am I gonna rock today.... The road cones, or the golf shoes... Watch out for that bit.. that's NOT an obstacle... q8D

[@richdrewtherideseries]

It’s a tough choice 🤔🤷🏻‍♂️

[@TheButlerNZ]

@@richdrewtherideseries I re-read my last sentence... didn't come out quite the way I meant... Should have been more along the lines of .. "Watch out for that one little part of the track that isn't a rock or cliff" q8)

[@downundermtb4744]

Nice 👍

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@lgrankin]

Has Rob ever smiled? Reminds of the Stone Cold of mountain biking :-)

[@ashtonmorley2184]

That stairway to hell looks like it would be exhausting to climb the whole way

[@richdrewtherideseries]

BRO, it's brutal!! I think Rob would've gotten it on the next try.

[@L4J20]

Chonkeee 😱

[@JAFO.]

4:17 - Serves you right for riding a *_PINK_* MTB! 🤣 😁 😂 ...wink wink, nudge nudge 😉

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Touche!

[@JZMartinez]

Rob, I call that "LBS," Little Brother Syndrome. It's a catch all descriptor for the genius moves a little brother makes especially as an adult. 😎

[@richdrewtherideseries]

Haha, that’s pretty funny!

Im gonna use that, thanks John!
