  • Come see what its like to race against some of the top climbers in North America at one of the toughest stage races in North America!
    This is a video that I've been wanting to do of a while as it shows, more in depth, what it takes to be a great climber at this level in the US and what you don't see when browsing Strava segments.

    Great Video Matt. I've done Gila a number of times with the masters some years back. I recognized all those turns on the final climb.

    Great video. Some serious power you had to push out to stay near the front

    Was the big crash a few years ago (2013?) caused by a dog? Is that that one you're referring to @2:56? I thought it was caused by touched wheels in UHC's train.

      Yeah the one in 2016 I believe. It was because a dog ran out into the field on one of the downhills where we were doing like +50mph

      The one that I wrote about in American Pro was the one where all hell broke loose and two Silber riders were medivac'd to Tucson. Hopefully you're not talking about that one because I didn't mention a dog as the cause. My Astellas riders were right behind UHC when it started. I used their account of it. I'd hate to have gotten it wrong. So I'm hoping they're two different crashes. (I just checked the book.It was 2014.) @@mattzimmer5470

    I don't get the interest. Every time I see a climb I say "Oh Shit, not another climb", I like downhilling, Fast!
