Phil, I was lined up next to you in the first heat. This was my first cycling event ever and I had no clue who everyone was. I got absolutely smoked but had a blast regardless. Ended up googling my competition after the fact and found your channel. That led me to your books; finishing "Ask a Pro" now. I'm inspired to get better and enter few races in the next few months. Goal is to not get dropped by you in the first 10 seconds at next year's hill climb so you better come back to do this event again. Thanks for all of the content.
That's a very refreshing comment. Good for you man, great attitude. Good luck and enjoy the ride (double entendre intended).
1:21 I was expecting to hear "Hey guys, VC here..." 🤣🤣🤣
Justin says he was DQed for being too handsome. Obviously he was actually DQed for wearing the hat of a rival energy drink!
Phil: don't want to lose bike ($20,000 bike)
Also Phil: use 15 dollar lock
Which LPL has said is an absolute piece of shit
7:22 I’m the guy that beat Justin Williams in a t-shirt
GINOOOOO ITS BENSKEEEEEEE WAY TO GO YUNG BOUL UR A LONG WAY FROM PAC2 PM
MISS YOUUUUU BENSKEEEE
The Filipino mamba of SF
Gino Gabuyo lol at how he said it too
Good for you, he's full of excuses I see hahaha
4:48 everybody has an Oakland break in story. When going to Oakland, don't take anything that you can't carry with you. the trick is to take out your valuables and to simply leave your car unlocked. they'll sift through your car and move on; it saves you from replacing a window.
Great video Phil.
It was great to see you out there! We were cheering for you at the 2nd pitch. Maybe the trick is less Clif Bloks and more cookies?
Nice vid phil love it!!! 💯💯 keep it up 🏁
As you guys might have noticed, I couldn't decide if this was "Best" or "Worst Retirement." Please vote here:
Like this for "Worst"
Like this for "Best"
Medium
Neutralest retirement ever? Neutralest retirement over some unspecified period of time?
It was the best retirement bc it was more a recreational race rather than a mission imo
You should come over to the uk and do a hillclimbing season (check out bike radars series they have at the moment).
Goddamn dude, next year come race in the British Hill Climb season. It's like a subculture was invented for you.
"As you would if you were a lazy criterium racer."
So did the dude with the "Freddie Mercury" 'stache win??
difficult to install the cleats in the exact position,but those speedplay pedals are great,they give you few mm more „crank length“
That is awesome that you posted even though you did not win
It's really cool to see your take on this event compared to VC and NorCal cycling.
fabian cancellara liked this a lot :P
8:52 "Lunch is uh, Clif Blocks" hahaha
What hotel did you stay in while in SF? Looking into visiting SF and bringing my bike.
Freddie Mercury can climb!
Lol I thought the same thing
I think you lost because you were number 68 and not 69
NorCal Cycling (Jeff) was still on Terun 🤯
Damn that MC hyped you up then roasted the hell out of you lol
Barrington Levy 11:00 👌👌👌👌
British hill climbs. Same sort of length, but as Time Trials. Get on it

Exactly this - also, is Dan Evans doing the Hillclimb Worlds? If not, he should be...
mrwicksy Taiwan KOM challenge mate. He told me he was doing worlds @ long Hill 2nd sept but he must’ve changed his mind.
Do people use longer cranks? Seems like longer cranks would help put the power down?
Phil, U & VC need to come out to Berkeley for the Nifty Ten Fifty!!! 50 Mi and 10K of climbing through sump of the tuffest Hills in the East Bay. I'll find parking for ya'll so u don't havta worry about somebody stealing yo ish!!! Hit me up. I'm Cat 6, but I chaperone LOL!
Phil, when are you going to climb Mauna Kea? I feel like as the world's hardest climb, you have to do it!
I have the KOM for that!! That was before my life was on CZcams. Hoping to do a video on it next year.
@@worstretirementever Awesome! I should've checked Strava rather than being lazy and just searching your CZcams vids. Looking forward to a video!
Actually I'm sorry to say that I think someone took it from you! At least, I'm not seeing you on the two full length segments (from Hilo or from the west)
I did it from Kona www.strava.com/activities/817383233
@@worstretirementever Phil have you done Haleakala?
Phil "I think it's important in this event to look cool." Gaimon
Was that the dude from “Glow” announcing??!!
Lol Vegan cyclist vloging and looking at his camera as well at 6:50
VC doing his thing!
Naw dude, you got this! keep it up! :)
I'm new to your channel. What's up with the funky glasses? Google Glass for GPS and ride stats?
Love the vids, man! The Vancouver Hillclimb day was nanners. You are a machine!
No comments about the new carbon seat. I haven’t got the ism but I have a carbon seat and if I’m not seriously putting power down it’s uncomfortable. What’s the secret? Probably lose any excess body weight...
I've ridden 4 bare carbon saddles and only 1 of them was comfortable regardless of effort so it has more to do with shape vs padding.
Can you make a video on your glasses?
The 'Huge Breakfast' lol,....
4:52 messlife walking in the back
@ 5:14 there's what looks like a bike lock, is that impromptu from a hardware store, or an actual bike lock? and what's it called.
Ottolock!

That Phil dude just beat Ted king at landrun.
Outro song?
Winnie Andrew Applepie
NorCal Cycling vs Phil Gaimon!
HEY! YOU GOT 10TH PLACE OVERALL! NOT 9TH!
Nicole J. Wong ✌️
That's a big breakfirst? How? What? I am so confused lol
Just 1 away from the best number LOL
Phil it’s good to see you get your a$$ kicked in such a sportily manner. Kudos 👍👍 😉
it was a SPLINT
Yew!
That porn-stach produces 50 Watts all by itself.
0:46 “if it’s up a hill and there’s a bicycle involved, I gotta check it out” Mountain bikers: 👋
For Sagen and Froome, its sprinting.
Thanks to the Bay Area politicians, there is little punishment for crooks breaking into cars. Sorry to hear you were a victim of a car burglary.
Your too skinny to win this, track sprinters need only apply. Lots of fun though
The guy with the mustaches thinks he is a TdF winner
I was going to give this video a thumbs down, but there are already 9 of them, and you placed 9th, so I didn't want to mess with karma. Also, the only thing that could have made that video better was if the guy who beat you would have started singing "I want to ride my bicycle, I want to ride my bike..." because dude has Freddy down pat.
How do you know if someone you just met is vegan? You don't need to, they'll tell you in the first 5 seconds...
what sponsors do you still have as the worst retired pro ever ?
Johnny Brown is The national road champion. Justin Williams is an amateur racer. He doesn't even have a pro license. Its a whole different level. Justin Williams is the amateur national champion (two years running), which is impressive, but not "The National Champion".
Bert Hull listen you’re commenting to the Hillclimb national champion and soon to be world champ
Yes, I hope so. Definitely routing for you. Love your channel, and "like" every episode. Sorry if the tone of my message was too abrasive. I'm friends with and raced with Johnny here in TN and I just have a personal pet-peve about how so many people are "national champions" and forget to qualify a division or age group. Anyway, that's my problem, not yours. Love your videos.
Bert Hull ah thanks man. Mad to respect to JB and I’m good friends with Nate. I think everyone knows the score here but I’ll get the Brown bros in a video someday
My helmet camera perspective from the last heat: czcams.com/video/XPaHJerZ9dU/video.html
First
I just don't understand you not mentioning the winners? That's so self centered. Like how little effort it would take to complioment the men and woman who came top 3. No class or just lazy.
@phil gaimon - Don't blame Oakland or the Bay for your own stupidity of leaving your your backpack/laptop in your car
Please stop saying vegan oukmeel. There is grain, salt and water. Lol #ewerybodyknowitavegancyclistwhoeatonlyvegan.hit
Odd hill climb..not an athletically pure event .. many other harder climbs in the City.
