If you're here for the speed, the first descent starts at 18:27. If you're here for the single track, Skyline Trail starts at 39:05. If you're here for the scenery, a dreamy-looking segment starts at 1:04:50.
Sweet! Just in time for my workout tonight. I have been waiting for another Big Bear race seems like forever. My favorite place in California to ride. Thanks Ben!
@@bengoyette I'm here in N. Idaho now and just getting snow. Did they change some of Skyline in the last couple years? I don't recognize the far west side and some around Pirates. Is that Plantation trail? Man I miss those trails.
I don't think the trail changed much in the last 5 years. They do change the layout of the course though. We get off Sky Line at Grand View, and that time we didn't do plantation.
Great job Ben! Just finished watching the race while working out. Nobody’s passing you in big bear! Really shows the level of your training. Really appreciate your efforts in putting up videos so I can work out in the winter and stay in reasonable shape. It really keeps me motivated!
Thanks! I don't know my exact FTP for 2021 as I was mainly focused on multi-day endurance that year and didn't test. But it's typically around 245W. I'm guessing it was lower as I wasn't training much at threshold. Just a LOT of Zone 2 & 3. I'm 41.

Have a good workout! It's covered in snow today; we gotta ride at lower elevations for the season.

Nice trail and superb conditions to racing :) Question: how did you managed to force your go pro to last 3h with no hanging and operating ?
I use this portable charger: amzn.to/3DMeL0f
There's a coiled wire running from my helmet to my jersey pocket.
How do you like the prologo Chamaeleon grips ?
Those are the stock Scott grips with Prologo bar tape wrapped around. Very comfy
What camera did you use there? Must have some battery???
Hero9 connected to an external battery bank in my jersey pocket
@@bengoyette fantastic idea,,,and well done on your ride.👌
