Wrecking Crew on Hwy 2 | We can't keep up with the bodybuilder

Putting down a smoking time on the Hwy 2 descent from Mt. Wilson. This is a full pedal descent and the only way to get a competitive time is to have a good tailwind.
I called up the ever reliable Taylor, and the east side marauder, Chris Hildreth, for some extra fire power this was going to be a team time trial effort.
Chris is one spicy meatball on these open descents, Taylor and I really struggled to keep up with him.
Mix in multiple chain drops, rough crosswinds, and a car on our tail at high speeds, and it becomes a run to remember. Data is from me (white kit).

MANS THIGGED IT OUT! And got his chain back on while descending!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@arad.6711]

having driven these roads at 60mph+ dozens of times, I have a new found appreciation for these guys doing it on 2 tires. These roads are notorious for gravel and pebble as well as a ton of traffic around the dozens of blind corners. Great job! The last 2K or so is the same road we saw Peter Sagan ripping down the hill towards Foothill Blvd on the way to finish line at the Rose Bowl at Tour of California a few years back.

Great descent, some great lines at insane speeds but the "fat guy" repositionig the chain and keeping it's lines was mind blowing. Huge respect.

[@mountainslopes]

That chain fix was insane 13:30

Although I have been to this location before last year, I drove there instead of biking. Watching your video was overwhelming for my heart, but I couldn't resist the urge to keep watching. Your video was captivating.

[@nikolasnogueira6315]

Beautiful colors

[@gruanger]

I once had my chain drop, hit my spokes blowing out quite a few, my tire instantly collapsed and I went flying, luckily I wasn't going very fast. I was so scared for him since he could have literally died at those speeds with the chain flapping like that.

[@nayanpati7310]

The chain fix was insane, I appreciate that. If my chain would have dropped at those speed, I would have stopped immediately. If those chain would have touched with any spokes then whole wheel might have collapsed and that would have been very fatal.

[@ezbwai]

Great video. I make that drive twice daily. Very familiar roads. Scary in dense fog. Hats off to those guys.

Angeles Crest was recently repaved. Not sure if you filmed this after that. The new pavement really helps in the last 10 minutes or so of this video where there is a line of pine trees. They used to have roots uplifting the road on the curve; just at the worst place. Well, not anymore with the new pavement!

I hit 46 mph once, arrow straight road, no bends, had a speed wobble and shit my pants. Their handling and confidence is amazing.

[@ohcrapwhatsnext]

I rode 20 miles of a 45 mile ride @ 45 mph with a tailwind yesterday, and it was a 20 mph wind. Max speed was 46.1 and the sides had rocks and traffic, so i had to keep it down. Thats fast. I came out of the Virginia City, NV area and was being blown all over the place. Very dangerous. BTW im 65...

This is the second video I watched from you guys. Very fast and powerful to watch. Each video so far has shown a violation of the road rules i.e., crossing the double yellow lines. Regardless of how you may see that, I cannot share your videos to others when you show a bad example. This is a pity, because other than those infrigements the videos are great.
