Forgotten Roads | Ep. 2 - Idyllwild | Hammerhead

Alex and I head east of L.A. to explore more of California, this time at elevation in Idyllwild. The route we picked is situated in-between some of the highest mountains in California, and the views we had all along the ride were amazing. We came to see as much as we could in a day while seeing as few people as possible and got just what we wished for. We kept the wheels spinning until sundown taking it all in. What a place!
If you'd like to see the exact route we took hit the Strava link below.

*** Forgotten Roads is a 3 part series by Safa Brian and Alex Colorito. Each episode sees the two documenting a different gravel route in California. These are self supported and self filmed rides that hope to inspire you to get out and explore the world by bike.
