WE'RE NOT LOST IN AFRICA | Mountain Biking in Kijabe, Kenya

One more day of riding left in Kenya, I'm going to be sad to see it go, but these guys have prepared a pretty big ride for me today, so let's get to it. We were getting ready to roll out, and we noticed Adam's derailleur cable was hanging on by a thread, so I brought some extra to get on it. These tires are like, not very knobby. Rapboi rode the Meg Avalanche with a tire like that, and he said he really liked it, so I decided to give it a try. Yeah, buddy, good as new. Fifth day of riding in Kenya, my butt feels okay. The end of the day is a couple times it felt a little, a little raw, but this morning, no problems. Yeah, today's going to be the hardest day. This is Barnes Trail, did it the first day, pretty good one. Big thoroughfare for all the townsfolk, shoot, couldn't follow his line, here we go. Holy moly, this is a good one. We're going all the way to the top. Looks like a few thousand feet, the old side streets, oh yeah. We are starting to climb, so I'm locking out the suspension, I'm pulling down the kneepads, shoot, I might even take the gloves off, gives me some more stuff to hassle everyone at the top. Wait, I need a second. Fine. A little traffic jam, rush hour, a little cooler today than yesterday, feels nice. The Lunatic Railway, legend has it that when they were building this railroad from the coast to Uganda, there was man-eating lions and many people were taken down. Pain and pleasure, the shepherd, how are you? Didn't lose one. An anecdotal survival lesson, I've never really seen a ram out here, but what I've been told is if a ram attacks you, it's going to get you, but lay down and play dead, because if you get up, it's going to come back and headbutt you again. Sergey tells us there's somebody down here with brain damage from that, made the mistake of getting back up and just got clobbered for a second time. The big mountain's still looming ahead, but we're doing good, spoke too soon. Adam has been a great guide, getting these trails, you know it's trails he rides all the time, but putting together a plan is always the hard thing, and he's put together a really good plan. Every day has been something different, something really awesome. He emailed me last year, and we finally made it happen. If you haven't watched the previous Kenya videos, hop in, start with number one, go through all five of them. Solid stuff. To the bench. Nice. A whole wide world out ahead of us. Alright. You get a check. Have a nice day. Same. Adam's planning an enduro out here, he has also put the offer out, if anyone wants to come out, hit him up, come ride these trails, he'll be your guide. It's certainly an adventure, just contact him on Instagram, I'll put his Instagram down below. Haha. Nice. When you go to LA and visit family, are you dying to get back? I love riding there, and a lot of times I forget about being here, and I was quite sad to leave, but literally the day we arrived, I went to bed, woke up in the morning, and David and I were out riding at 8am, and I was like, yeah, this is home, this is where I belong. So his family goes back to California about every two years for five months, so he stays with grandma and gets to really, you know, kind of get back to the states for a little while. He said he likes In-N-Out Burger and Chipotle. Anything else? You go to the movies, you go shopping, any other weird things that are kind of like specific to California? Weird things, um, we go skateboarding and ride bikes around the Cal State University Northridge campus. Okay, okay. Skateboarding's definitely not something you can really pull off around here. Yeah, so I just like, you know, cruising around, someone loaned me a longboard that was like this long last time, I just went everywhere. Canyon Stampede. How are you? This is JB, come say hello. JB is our plumber at the hospital. Hey, JB. But he does run water pipes. How many wells do you think you have done for the Pyjama Hospital? I've done so many things for Pyjama Hospital. Miles and miles and miles of piping. Yeah, a lot of work for the Canyon Plumber. That's cool. How long have you worked at Canyon Plumber? 25 years now. Oh, that's awesome. Have a good time. Hey, thank you. Thank you very much. Nice to meet you. Thank you. David's got to take off. Fun riding with him. I'll see you this afternoon. I'll take two cokes. Yeah, if you have a hundred. I've got only five hundred. Don't want to break the bank. Thank you. Made him stop. Had to get a coke. Got the watering hole filling up water. Thank you, thank you. Very good. 35 cents? Yep, exactly. On the road again. The busy part of town here. Fine, how are you? Okay. How are you? This is Barra Barra Tano. Road number five. These kids are losing their mind. Man, these zone out climbs are great for thinking. All kinds of ideas. Oh, yeah. The dogs seem to be mild-mannered so far. This one looks mean as hell. We got the pass. The trail is down below, but we just have to actually kind of find it. Do not condone riding down this. Cool. A little further down, the trail has appeared. Aha! Yeah! Oh, yeah. The real wild stuff. The sun's coming out. Oh! I think this is the one where Adam's dad classically just stopped to take a break and went down the side. Steep. Shoulder block! And that was that. The first time I did that, I sent that drop off. Bunny hopped off it really high. I came down here skidding the whole way. I couldn't slow down. I slid off this and got stuck on this fence like I was hanging on the fence. I got a pump. We can air it back up a little. Fill her up. Got that beautiful glove tan going. Oh, yeah. That's legit. Yeah. Oh, we're moving. Yeah! Smash it! Yeah! I gotta pull a cactus out of my finger. Ah! That was great. Yeah, that was cool. That was really good. You were killing it. How did it get in there that way? Cool. A little rock pile. What a day. They call it dead drop. Probably a pretty good one. I can't hear a word you're saying. Oh, wow. Yeah. So down here is why we call it dead drop. No one's ever fallen, so don't be the first. So intense. So good. Oh, yeah. Rowdy. Wicked. Wicked and a half. Woo! That was awesome. Yeah. That was so good. Yeah! Showing off. They call it endo. Yeah! Woo! Ha ha. Woo! Oh, it's tight. Let it roll. Hope you guys on Patreon are enjoying the extended cut. It's been a big day. A lot of good descending, hurtful climbing, and crashing. Thanks for making it possible. Thanks for sending me around the world and getting to meet all kinds of crazy amazing people. I thank you very much. I'm so grateful that you're on my side. He gave me the option to ride more and I took it. How are you? The people here seem to be so nice. It's a mix like anywhere else, I'd say. Some are indifferent. Some are really, you know, get a kick out of seeing us on our bikes. Suffering. The kids are the same way. They're pretty happy to see us most of the time. And then sometimes it kind of randomly turns. Adam's had rocks thrown at him and stuff, but none of that on this trip. For me, at least. Kids are kids wherever you go. I know that much. Hello! Leaders of the pack. We're here the first day. We had to come back. Knock knock! Thank you. Oh, they got the Christmas music going. Hey Seth. Hey, you remember my name. Nice, good. Awesome. Tons of sugar for us. Nice and fruity. Wasn't able to finish the whole thing this time either, but I did finish all the meat at least. Which will power us up our next hellacious climb back to Kajabi Town. Bye bye. We beat the traffic. Butts supremely sore now. Legs have been pretty dang good. Finish her out with a little suffering. Coasting back to Adam's house. What a day. Woo hoo hoo! 27.9 miles. The Kajabi Epic. Time for a shower and a couple days of recovery. So that does it for the riding in Kenya. It was fantastic. Just five days of an awesome host. The Davis family was great. Felt so welcome. Had breakfast every morning. Oh, these stairs are steep. I'm going to take a break. The riding was great. Seeing this different culture was great. I really feel like this is a special place. Thanks again Adam. And thanks everyone for watching. I'll see you on the trail.
