Note from Phil: i know I'm supposed to hate all dopers so it looks weird, but for more about my relationship with Danielson, see "Pro Cycling on $10 a Day," my podcast with Adam Myerson, or my next book, "Draft Animals," coming out in October at Phil's Fondo.
Cannondale, Mavic, Castelli, Chamois Buttr, Velofix, Clif, ISM, Arundel, New Balance, Oakley, and Orucase all helped Phil get to the bottom of the climb. He'll have to get himself to the top.
Phil's cookie Fondo will be here before you know it: www.philsfondo.com/

Way to go Phil! I recall that it took me 1.5 hrs longer than you to do that climb! But I didn't cut the ends of my handlebars off and left both brakes on so who knows how fast I could have gone! ;-)
I'm sure you would get it :)
I guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account?
I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!
@Santana Kameron instablaster =)
@Royal Onyx i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now.
I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.
@Royal Onyx it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D
Thank you so much, you saved my ass!
Phil, your candor and brutal honesty is inspiring. I ride as hard and often as I can, but still consider myself a swimmer, because my first love was swimming, knowing I could beat anybody, because nobody on earth would be willing to go as deep as I was willing to go. Turns out I couldn't beat them, and it took a lot of years to come to terms with that.
What you're doing is awesome, entertaining as hell, and for what it's worth, meaningful to people like me.
This vid is so much more engaging than the previous episodes because it's much more personal. Very well done. Congrats on the KOM
And based on Dumoulin's fiasco today: pooping before riding is such a good decision! :-)
These are getting better. You should FaceTime with Danielson for every episode. That was very cool. Thank you for these.
Domoulin found out today that you go when it's time, not when you're ready 😂😂😂
My golden rule when doing any sport but especially cycling is to always take a pre-game dump. About 45 mins before a race I would force myself out there because there is nothing worse than suddenly needing to get rid of something during a race :D
No DUMP no PLAY. Ive pulled out of rides before for not dumping prior.
lol, poor guy. he's still going to win the giro though. Big Tom's riding like a beast.
I hope he wins, but I'd be lying if I say I'm not also a little suspicious.
Congratulations on the KOM! Really enjoy your videos - and they're getting better every time.
Best channel I've found in a long time. The category should be comedic documentary.
Great work Phil!! Also, good idea talking with Danielson and having him give you some insights..glad to hear him be willing to give you advice! Good dude to help you with the strategy. Well done Brother!
damn your videos are so hilarious, genuine, free of care yet geeky enough to stay interested. So worth the wait for each new upload.
That was great, congratulations. There is not enough of your type of rich character in the pro peloton, or at least we don't see it which is too bad. Keep inspiring us! Thank you!
PLEASE LET ME EDIT ONE OF YOUR KOMS BRO! Lets get some sick overlays on this sucker! KILLER JOB on the vloging leading up to the attempt, solid content bro!
and your Lookout Mountain edit is awesome !!! Luv it !!
This series is one of the best things ever. Love it.
Phil, this episode was SO MUCH better than the previous ones. I think the less-polished style is so much more engaging. It was more personal and less about the achievement and more about the journey you made in search of it. It also captures your personality a bit better, overall, since it seems you were the one who edited it. Favorite one so far. Stick with this style, IMO.
"cactus fire or sand fire" LOL!
You going by people like they were sitting still! Love the narration/ phone conversation as you are doing it.👍🏼Cool
Great job! Can't wait to see you at Mt. Washington!
Talking about "Squeezing it out" after the poop joke was great.
I love how authentic and down to earth this is
Can’t believe I’ve only found your channel now...love it
Awesome job! Love the channel!
Absolutely loving this channel Phil
Love your channel! I am going to head to LA in two weeks and climb Mt. Baldy!
Please, please do Palomar pt. 2!
Phil should make all the CZcams videos! This series is great.
Really great content Phil! Keep it coming!!
Awesome video, and Congratulations!
Best episode thus far, lots of cool content in there
Great video, I enjoyed the personal insights.
The piano music that plays with the final credits and list of sponsors is really sad--it's the kind of music they play in documentaries about tornadoes, when they show what's left of a town that was flattened.
Awesome video and effort!
Enjoyed the video mate. Keep them coming. Good camera work minus the help. 👌
Dude this is still your best hour VAM, best I have seen.
Nah my baldy one is better. It’s more about steepness
Survivor style works with so many viewers Phil. Maybe do it more often dude. Great video and congrats on the victory.
Huge congrats on this one, and a great video - despite being in survivor mode.
Can't wait to see which climb you pick here in Utah!
and now a triathete has taken this ! Lionel
Radness. Bust out more dude. Also holler when in Seattle for this. Our shop is sick and solid team to show you round.
"Cactus fire or a sand fire" LOL!! Thanks for posting, Phil!
Phil should thank Tom for the advice. Nice work. Fun to watch, thanks!
Hey how about Brasstown Bald in Georgia? I'd leave it for the fall but it would be a good one to try!
Your thoughts and that face at the end of the effort is the same face I had at the end of every triathlon I ever did!
Love your videos! Sooooo awesome!
Great meeting you sat at the Amgen tour.
I love her shirt! I used to work a Bicycle Ranch.
GO PHIL!
Phil, it was AWESOME to see you at BWR...and under the radar and just out to compete. (I knew it was you at the start line!) I'd love to hear how your day in the saddle went. Any blog or posts where I could read? I love your narration.
At 11:00 this is a climbing clinic. One of the best things about this channel is the introspective into the sport in subtle ways.
Congrats Phil!! That cookie looked awesome too.
Congrats on a nother great KOM & video Phil! You´re such an fun inspiration to the sport.
Take some well earned rest days, yet please upload (at least something, doesn´t have to be a KOM) when you´re rested, because your way of looking at the sport is so good for the sport. Of how we look at our self & the sport. Of course it´s about competing (against your self?) and sometimes (though for most verry seldom) winning, it´s also about having fun! & not being so boring serious. Anyways, it´s what keeps me going. That balance.
He is a lot like John Mayer!
Come do Mt. Evans hill climb here in Colorado. You can stay at our cabin in Dillon. And while you're out here you can do Lookout Mtn.
Love your videos dude! You should come to Reno NV and try to KOM our local climb, geiger grade. The current KOM is Laurens Ten Dam.
love your honesty mate
Great work Phil 👍
Understated awesome.
I'm a lumpy, slow, British bloke, and if I had a hat on, I'd tip it in your direction. Top work mate - that looked like hard work. Apart from the cookie bit.
Best "Worst Cycling Vids" ever ;-) Love 'em! :-)
Would be nice to see your heart rate data in Strava also. Great series!
You remind me of Bill Hader - you’re hilarious. Definitely a sand fire up there on Mt. Lemmon 😂
Thanks for clearing up why I tend to feel like a dufus on that hill...I'm massively outclassed! I think I have some new ideas though now. See some of you in December:)
great stuff!
Hey Phil, I work at the factory that makes that fancy window squeege to clean those bugs. Nice choice.
Nice one Phil!!! I just my first KOM and it does feel good!!!!
Awesome! good job.
Thoughts on recruiting a lead out chain for some of the flatter climbs?
This should be a weekly series LOL
Best video yet, love the segment on the house for cycliste and comments from Tom 👍🏻
So will you be racing Mount Washington this year?
Beast, congratulations Phil 👍!!
Do you take nutrition during the attempt or just carb load before?
I started cycling 3 years ago and could not get my FTP past 260 watts. I would never do drugs to enhance performance but I decided to buy a bike with a hidden motor that gives you an extra 100 watts (vivax assist) because I hate getting past on the roads. I probably would have started using it in races as well. After listening to your audio book "Pro Cycling on $10 a Day" I changed my mind and heart. I cancelled my vivax assist order and resolved to work harder on the bike. I achieved something I never thought possible. My FTP is now 310 and I feel like there is still a lot more room for improvement. I will always be a Phil Gaimon fan!
80z Cyclist you are a spastic
"SPASTIC"
Someone who walks with their head angled 30-45 degrees to the side, one of their arms in a crooked position, their feet turned inwards (like Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects), walking down a street, with the occasional noise (like that dude in Cube) "Errrrrahhhhhhhh".
Yep. That about sums me up AA BB.
are you ever going to try and get some of the big ones in europe?
NIce work.
You've gotta do Flagstaff Rd in Boulder CO
Brilliant!
Great stuff. You should come to Boise and ride to Bogus Basin with Kristen Armstrong.
Congrats! I needed a win here more then you did apparently...
That cookie must have been glorious!
Wait, is the ending music purposely, "sad walking away" music ala The Incredible Hulk? :)
Hey Phil, which bottle cage(s) are you using for these slightly oversized Camebak bottles?
Arundel!
good job
good show
Congrats!
congrats man. you did it finally :)
Is Mt.Baldy on the menu this year?
Wow impressive effort, but why is this effort not visible on Strava?
Of course sunglasses go outside the straps, but now I know how to take off my helmet without catapulting my sunglasses across the room. Thanks Phil!
Wow..nice to see what kathryn bertine is up to with Homestretch ... cheers
Man Lionel rekt your KOM :D
come down to Australia Phil. Take on the tour down Under KOM.
First mountain down. Back to palomar?
How much does he weight atm ? he looks super fit in this vid
Nice work! Out of curiosity, why didn't you use the 21 mile segment that covers the whole climb that's titled "Mt Lemmon"? Which segment did you KOM? Thanks!!
Explained in the vid. I think that segment requires running a stop sign, and it was rolls at the top, so I had to pick a top. See the WRE segment I made to show what I was aiming for
Thanks I must have missed that part!
Gonna have to try again after Lionel did yesterday!
videos still not long enough! #needmore
Lol that's so funny. Haven't pooped yet. I can relate to that.
lenses look like warby par parker, are they?
I hope you put that drive time on Strava bahaha
You should do the entire climb on some clip ons
up next Mt Hopkins in Tucson :D
