  • The NOW Ride is a staple in LA's rich group ride landscape. I filmed it on the Insta360 X3 camera (safa.link/insta360-x3) which is a really good way to capture one of these rides. Usually the camera is only pointed in one direction so you miss a lot of what is happening in the group around and behind the lens but this time it's all on display.

One fellow just about lost a finger, another guy a broken hip, and a young woman lost her life rolling into a park at a food stop and a car took her out. She had just taken off her helmet after a hard 50. Be safe out there all the time. Did I mention his third broken hip.

      I think Montrose (the second half of it ~ return leg) is harder. The Now Ride isnt easier, but the climbs are. The punchy climbs on the Montrose route are leg snappers _ especially if you ride with the 8:30a group. You'll find yourself chasing a bunch of L39ION riders.

    Like this ride, plenty of top professional racers enjoying the SoCal sun away from Europe.
    Rumored that the death ride was named that not co's it was stupid fast, but co's a rider or two were killed on that ride.
