on teammate when brother how's it going dude yeah all right mate three yeah it's probably
got four now yeah 450 now here's a desert you finally lost Panamint Springs oh the
worst resort in the history of the world the armpit of California never go there that's
one place on this trip I think I'd rather forget was it three in a bit thousand feet
of climbing this morning straight up and then it's small dissolving flat all the
way it's rolling all the way in so run away to independence which was a major staging post for
a lot of the stagecoaches back in the 1700s so it's quite well it's quite an important
town I'm frankly I don't even share better I'm more looking forward to air conditioning
good morning guys and welcome to today's video we've written out from Panamint Springs today the
worst Resort in the whole of the world we've just been climbing for two hours and now it's descent
and flat for the rest of the day freezing cold we can't wait for the Sun to Isis it's freezing cold
Lawrence and I went out into the salt flats yesterday to try and get some phone reception
just so we can let loved ones know that we were okay because there's no reception
where it's take we roundness in the heat for like 25 minutes it was 52 degrees and
Lawrence got sunburned in about 15-20 minutes unbelievable so it's sunrise the summit having
spent the last almost week in the desert there's something beautiful but slightly
sinister about sunrise because you're usually scared of it it just means unrelenting heat but
at the moment it's 12 degrees and it's what you just thing complaining you're cold you're soft
get what have you talked your helmet dude what's wrong with it sit smart it's like your other one
are you doing man we need to say thanks to someone no we yeah mark the love 40 and actually if anyone
hasn't heard of this stuff they probably should try for tonight yeah we've been living off this
stuff and even by he's air-dropping that halfway through the journey a bunch of
elevado's basic or natural recipe it's homemade at the moment with new easy open wrappers yeah
the old ones you can open shameless bastards those it's just like Star Wars so we've been
debating the dough every every we don't think Americans know the difference in white bread
and sourdough but every done it offers sourdough and white so this time and it's a fat dog crust
same thing dude I keep putting Barney yeah so forth other than idea that I don't think any of us
nor any of the viewers of thought maybe we should be writing tubeless on this trip water sucks you
drank about three kasia's worth with coffee for percolators and now we've got 15 miles to ride
one straight road that way shortly everything is just that we have turned correct you just don't
tell you now us today so I've been for you dude sure why though isn't it 65 miles 1200 meters
of up yeah all right we expected it to be a lot hotter considering it was coming out with Death
Valley well it's almost chilly the descent into this valley was a spectacular are you basically
all these mountains in the background it's just incredible breathtaking so yeah it's been pretty
been really picturesque just had a nice breakfast Lawrence is out of those Lauren sister sleep right
now while he's riding his bike yeah well he's we've already said he's a man of many talents
it wouldn't surprise me if we could do that so it made mr. motel welcome to the town of independence
independence isn't that like you wear a movie set or the names of the movie
Independence Day is when Americans celebrate Will Smith saving the world from yeah yeah
yeah Will Smith isn't here though no yeah disappointing are we making a vlog oh yeah
yeah do you watch them know hey guys this toast for Lawrence what we've done Lawrence's
bike now it's your turn to tell us about your bike not drunk I was a little bit we were all
a little bit tipsy that and I were mean doctor you crashed I crashed yeah almost
done tell us about your trip Circle Circle which it's been affectionately dubbed the
Trevor circle because it's made by Trevor Watson in southwest London it's a mate of mine sir it's
awesome framework so it's a custom steel frame I designed it so I designed the geometry of it
it's recently been repainted but a little American flag on the seat tube there which
you can't see from that angle zoom into it but yeah it's Columbus on a tubing hard-as-nails
room for up to 30 C tires Shimano jeera a spin on these wheels and a my home might haven't
got a hole in them because I packed my bike properly so people guys didn't like TCR and
that sort of thing would have a similar setup to this maybe a smaller seat back maybe but this is
this is great because it's its era have been a few comments about the wheel choice and all
this kind of stuff but I mean this let's make it clear I didn't build this bike to do this
trip I didn't buy a bike for this trip that's my winter Bobby honest there's not much I'd change
from my setup other than tubulars yeah yeah maybe we should may even should do tubeless
get it there I've got a scratch or just this sorry true you know it makes comments
mistake they said any punch a hole in mine as the Sun got too so most huge
compared to Kelso Death Valley was a piece of piss it was a walk in the park but it really was I mean
you know you let's let's not let's not forget you were [ __ ] a brick bottom I was we were lucky
because we've got to shock nothing everything in Stoke white whales which is in the middle of Death
Valley clearly shaft completely closed although some clever bloke had left the ice machine open
are the ice thump OH so two bags of ice later left him some money didn't steal we put money in
that's not my and you know we started to climb again that was a nine-mile bar
something like that longest plant I've never done we've been we've been comparing it to
font - they've all been bigger than Sun - they've all been bigger than my coupon - every day of the
week over those clients is no they are there longer they just as steep and there are 50
degrees it's just a seriously extreme and it's really nice how you can see it Batman come - where
are we independent independence and well let's just say we can sit outside here stop 38 degrees
it's not it's not searing he's a lot greener and got these epic mountains interview service see in
the background you can tell it's getting on the coolers next awfully vining that's even cooler
and then it's into Yosemite from there what is it with the hitchhikers in this town they're another
three guys there were three guys when we were coming in I've got a little bit worried about
because we had three bikes yeah don't get mugged four or five schools all the places in the world I
don't wanna be stuck here but you know what in San Francisco picking people come muggers of all high
schools that's why the hangouts answers gonna get trained ups Portland or something take over men
it's roughest also you want to be in them remember the last time we had one beer it
depends on who were with them because one bit often turns into I don't know
9 or 10 veggie burrito bro it's actually just foil you've messed up tomorrow again
