Too Gnarly for the Road Bike? (The California Coast Project - ep.5 of 7)

[@torr-michaelbennetta9785]

Absolutely LOVE the Sir David Attenborough voice over. F'in classic!!!!!!!

[@matthewbenger8355]

Yes same. How are you doing that?

[@jasondelarosa5457]

Jeremiah seems to be struggling with the technologies of the new world - AI David Attenborough

[@Southerncyclist]

I laughed hard on that one.

[@mntbike3700]

This was epic, rolling on the floor laughing

[@tylerpearce101]

It’s a Text to speech program that uses AI to alter the speech to the voice you want. But I have to write the script in a way that Daivd would talk. I had so much fun with it.

[@sebastiandragonheart]

One of the very few channels where I look forward to watching a new video from beginning to end with no skipping.

[@timothysroot82]

These have had a very different feel from the other impossible route films. Not surprising given the different setup. Every bit as good as the others. A fun mix of your race recap videos and impossible route

[@thereeder5rs]

It’s Impossible for these two to not put out an impressive bike trip video series!

[@jays.2965]

That “past me thank you for thinking of present me,” hit hard. Very mantra-esque. I’m stealing it, yuuuh 🤙🏽.

[@veganshredder]

stephen at K-Man Cyclery is a freaking legend!! Stoked he helped you guys out on such short notice! Come back to SLO with your MTB next time!

[@stevenbates4391]

So entertaining , you two together are hilarious . Keep the videos coming 😊

[@roymendez6615]

Part of me has been laughing all week because of these videos. I live in LA but was raised all along this route. From Santa Maria thru King City so seeing some of your navigation got me rolling

[@casparwhittey]

Appreciating the film creativity going on. Having the locals handoff and the cam for a transition shot - super cool

[@TheVCAdventures]

Thank you! Getting the shots and being creative when there’s not much story to tell is super fun.

[@alexemmanuele4208]

I will be forever haunted by VC putting the unwrapped vegan tempeh wrap right on the bedspread of a quality inn bed.

[@jayobannon5359]

Wonder when the spread was last washed?

[@alaefarmestatesllc]

@@jayobannon5359he’s pregnant now

[@drouleau]

Wait a min - you put the wrap that you're gonna eat directly on a hotel bed cover? You're a much braver man than I am lol

[@TheVCAdventures]

I think in the moment I thought I threw it on haul of snacks. I watched this bag and it’s pretty gross I did that. Didn’t die tho so…

[@alexanderh2715]

My pedal fell off once because the rotating part was broken and only the part that screws stayed in place. It was 400m from a bike shop. That was such a perfect timing. Awesome video as always

[@samanderson7745]

I like how Tyler just said, "fuck it, I'm going for the big smoothie, not that little rinkie dink nonsense" after spending a few pennies on a new crank, haha!

[@travisharnish5780]

The narrating is so so good. Well done!

[@robertolivick7496]

Terrific adventure and a shout out to my LBS, K-Man Cyclery and Steven Anzel the legend of a mechanic.

[@DavidRBeach]

The narration. coffee. out. nose. brilliant stuff.

[@williammurray1620]

Absolutly love the David Attenbourogh style narrator! Killing it!

[@nathanwarren5616]

The tense and awkward bantz between VC and JB is why I watch!

[@willdavid989]

Spot on about the glutes! I do a few minutes of band work to activate the glutes before I ride- has allowed me to overcome some years long patella/quad tendonitis.

[@big-mezza-biz]

I think a link in the description to K-Man cyclery is appropriate here. Beautiful route and footage!

[@fraserherman8754]

That narration is epic! Great series man!

[@petervollers]

Nav narration is priceless.

[@kennethward9530]

You can always go old school for navigating-or at least route planning -1:50,000 topographic maps (or whatever size floats your boat) no electronics .

[@KwadSkwad]

this series is gold jerry. I can't wait for the bolivia drop though!!!

[@bevosully]

And it keeps getting better! Thanks for takings us along on these adventures! You guys are inspirational! Rock on fellas!

[@Gianniz27]

That poor Canyon Ultimate road bike got some hard beating.

[@tink8952]

that 13:12 transition was outstanding ................

[@LINKYART]

The David Attenborough voice overs are hilarious 😂 California backroads look beautiful, so many shades of green!

[@BruceChastain]

love watching these

[@jackcoltrane2610]

I love this episode format

[@RunBikeMike]

These adventures are so amazing

[@Gravelmisfit_]

Drama lama totally stealing that! Good job you guys keep the video is coming.

[@cypriano8763]

we just did a bike packing trip around big sur. went thru the road closure then up the nociasmento then thru the arroyo secco indian road back to big sur. funny too, you passed us on your tt bike., thanks for the encouragment. great spot out in them part

[@TheVCAdventures]

Oh wow! Crazy! How did you get through the closure? We’re gonna ride up as far as we can tomorrow.

[@cypriano8763]

@@TheVCAdventures just rode up the road, nociamento, one of if not the best road climb I've done. Went down he back side, work crews just let us by. Rode thru the army ranch, civilians where allowed on the paved roads. Camped just outside the army zone. Rode the Arroyo secco Indian road the next day, some washouts and overgrown sections but overall a fantastic ride. Good luck

[@cypriano8763]

For the road closure on the 1 tho, you have to wait till 5 after crews are gone. If you are going up from the south, just go look if the guys. Working Sunday, they weren't when we rode thru, 2 Sundays ago.

[@freddyramirez5892]

Love the positivity vc going strong

[@Saladh_Olivier]

Where did you fresh kits from? I’d love to such service 😂 great series by the way, really love it 😻

[@Mclovinthedank]

Yo you got the super immunity booster, when you put your burrito/wrap thing on that quality in bed...

[@sreejithsree4269]

What an amazing ride..keep it up folks

[@ShuttTheFrontDoor]

K-Man Cyclery needs to add an "As Seen on VC Adventures" badge to their socials. LOL

[@Pratalax]

My god that eagle vision bit fucking killed me xD "I can see EVERYTHING!!! ......where's Jeremiah?"

[@oliviant2235]

😂

[@NeonGrayEdits]

Keep ‘em comin’ what a fun series. That voice over was so gooood.

[@TheMachoGabacho]

When the guy on a mountain bike turned back, you should have known it would become type 2 fun.

[@rasmusarme3496]

Such a beautiful country.

[@James_Fisher]

The TUNES!!!

[@kristinrc]

On the edge of my seat for the surprise 🎉

[@chrishomel9558]

Vibin' ride for this episode guys. Broken crank arm can't keep the determined cyclist from Sea Otter. Can't wait to see how it goes tomorrow.

[@Velodan1]

AI Attenborough is hilarious😂

[@bmchd-up3cj]

im new to biking and i got a question: i got from this video that the bigger the ratio between the front ring and the back gears, the better it is to go up high elevation - is that correct? so that means that we might not need multiple front rings bc as long as you have a big enough ratio between a single front ring and the biggest back gear, you are save to bike up elevations... curious about this bc i always thought that having multiple front rings was the best way to go but now i wonder why people would have two or three front rings if they could have just one that allows for a big enough ratio

[@TheVCAdventures]

I run a 1x on everything. I love it. The rotor setup I have is a 11/52 in the rear, and 52 in the front. You have to have a MTB derailleur to fit that range though. My main gravel bike has a 44 : 11:52, so a more than 1:1 ratio from front to back. So that thing can climb up anything.

[@BMMB450]

Please tell us how you guys recover to do the next day ride like nothing done the day before. If I do 80Mil ride I need a week for recovery 😢. Good job and big like

[@Stevenv74]

The David Attenborough voice over is really cool. From a follow vegan cyclist in the UK.

[@toon2806]

You should do a trip with paper maps only . Looks like that would be the true impossible route

[@TheVCAdventures]

JB had pitched that idea a couple times. It would be so fun to do an old west trade route via maps only.

[@alaefarmestatesllc]

@@TheVCAdventuresdo it

[@tednruth453]

🎶 I want you...to show me the way 🎶

[@robertcatuara5118]

Was it the Shimamo recalled crank arm? Your silence is deafening. Or not, cuz it's pre 2019 cranks.

[@TheVCAdventures]

No, it was a Rotor Carbon crank, I put my bikes and equipment through shit no bike should be doing. So it’s bound to happen.

[@syrus3k]

Music credits please!! Need to know what tunes you use Tyler! Cheers

[@darinsteele7091]

what size tires you guys looks like 35c maybe?

[@TheVCAdventures]

32s but on the rim measure 34. The IRC bokens are amazing!

[@darinsteele7091]

nice dude@@TheVCAdventures

[@jaymsf4503]

I’m curious to ask where does JB gets all these different jerseys he’s wearing?

[@bjmaston]

VC, with 250k subscribers, _filming_, walks into a bike shop and the bike shop staff suck through their teeth, put their hands on hips, and shake their heads. It's an absolute classic moment.

[@gtnelson2004]

How do you create those voiceovers? They are the best

[@BPM-xh4yu]

hire a voice actor?

[@gtnelson2004]

I am guessing it was some AI generator

[@jimmyboom2445]

Nice

[@kyleheron38]

Gravel bikes on single track seems so foreign to me. It just looks so rough with a far-too-forward seating position. I’ll stick with my flat bars and slack head tube.

[@tinatpasselepoivre]

it depends on the single track. I have ridden serpent like trails on the flat or slightly hilly and it is very fun. And don't forget were mtb came from. Modern geo allow you to get faster, not necessarly farther.

[@Gianniz27]

Actually VC rode a road bike.

[@asherbeal8357]

I run a 40 X 10/50 on my AllRoad bike.

Drama lama😂😂😂

[@mikevandenbosch9982]

You did not put that wrap on the bed! You didn't!!! No way you did that, ate it and are still alive to tell about it!!!!!!

[@Chreeeys]

I really like this series. What I'm not sure about is the AI generated voice over from that nat geo dude. I mean his voice is his income. And now that it is so easily copied I would feel very threatend in his shoes.

[@60westpro]

Bro , you guys really other thunk your directions - google maps bike route for the win especially if you’re in a rush and riding up the coast because options are limited - I just did this ride in August from Santa Rosa to LA and google maps was flawless !!
