I’m sure it it doesn’t really mean anything to you, but I’m a persistent fan, I just wanna let you know I think is a great video, I love the overlapped interview sky on Skype and the voiceover the images. It really filled up the video In the more stimulating way for the viewer. Great work man!
sandrochiavaro this definitely means something to me. That’s like the whole point! Thanks for watching :)
Phil Gaimon fair enough :) . To be clear, What I mean is , I am no film maker expert by any means ;) I do watch way a lot of CZcams content so I guess I am an expert at that, lol. Keep it up Phil. 👍🏽
best part was when you referred to the bathroom atmosphere as one that could have been deleted from Trainspotting lol. Keep it coming love your videos
Hey Phil, I’ve read your books so I laughed as soon as you said “I know how to measure that”. Thanks for delivering on expectations.
Another great video Phil! I raced with Jed in Albuquerque back in the day. He's a super nice guy. You need to visit ABQ and take the Sandia Crest KOM!
Met Jed in Vegas at a software engineering conference (Ruby on Rails) about 5 years ago. We didn't have any bikes so ran instead - guess he liked Vegas!
Great Video Phil, very entertaining. Your take on Vegas is spot on.
Perfect attitude for dealing with Vegas. Your snark was on high alert, no doubt. Love you r vid, as always.
reading your book now "pro cycling on 10$ a day". Gotta say its given me a lot of insight and perspective on how much you have put into cycling. Thanks for making these videos, come steal some KOM's in Asheville NC sometime.
I really enjoy these filmed rides of yours Phil. I subscribe to several cycling channels and yours is one of the best. Kudos to you. (P.S - I'm ordering Draft Animals for Xmas).
Lol, I was going to complain about the background in the opening segment but you fixed it.
Another great episode. These type of "are there really good rides there??" videos are awesome! Keep them coming.
Enjoyed the video. One of your best!
The same conversation with different clips being shown was very relaxing to watch. I loved it.
15:04 always nice to see different breeds of athletes coming together and encouraging each other
I think I still hold the ascent and descent QOM on Mt. Charleston 🤔😜
I took a car down 😂
Nice last name
I love this route! I've done it and others around Vegas every chance I get on a visit. That loop is great ... and then Charleston! That's a tough ride from the desert to a ski resort just outside of Vegas! My time was 2:10 I think :) Phil you rock and great to see some of my favorite rides in one video! Also Ford Transit Connect at 9:24.
Hi Phil thank you for the vlog. It’s fantastic!
Thanks for watching!
This was definitely one of the best Phil Gaimon Videos ever! But i think it‘s Time for some Christmas Cookies. You became really slim!
super interesting, highly entertaining. Who knew that area was so beautiful! Cheers Phil
Jed 'the manager' still lookin out for you ....."cold? I'll get your coat" Plus he sounds like a horticulturist - Looks like a lovely guy. Great video,funny and informative. Best/Worst retirement just keeps getting better and better
15:13 UNLV!!!
Vegas has some good riding, just sheety drivers. Used to do the Red Rock loop. Good hill climb, and a fun downhill. Nice to see they put cones out, must be really busy theses days.
My favorite ride, was at night, between the cars stuck in traffic, on the strip, from Trop to Flamingo or Spring Mountain. Oh to be young and dumb again.........
Not often I hear my name, let alone from someone in my hometown. Great video as always man, really enjoying these.
Me either hahah
Holy Moly, Phil. I hope that climb's not part of the LV Ultimo Fondo that I and the rest of Velofix Head office are doing in April. Best we leave Chris on the front! Great video, didn't see your toque though!
I freaking love riding in Red Rock! The pavement is so smoooottthhhh!
No time on the overall climb?! Love the cookie/cocktail combo! Keep it up.
One of your best videos to date, love the Norm McDonald reference, still waiting for some Seinfeld quotes to get peppered into a video.
Another great podcast Phil. KOM looked a bit too easy for you though. not your usual 'challenging climbs'. but riding up through Red Rock Canyon puts another notch on your belt ;)
I've been to Vegas far too many times, mostly for conferences. I can't gamble because I'm good at math. That said, I'd probably hang out in the casinos and soak up the high oxygen atmosphere before attempting a KOM - like some weird form of legal doping. Great video as always.
This was done very well, dig it.
Great video, but where is the strava link? If I click on bit.ly (on the iPhone) it leads me nowhere. Thx
3:22 looks like downtown Fallujah.
6:35 Someone ought to forward this to GCN's Emma Pooley, she'll be all over it!
When will you come to Australia? Would love to see you attack a local mountain segment. Brisbane, Queensland. Mt Cootha and Mt Gravatt. You would probably take both in the same day 😎. And of course spend a day in Sydney and Melbourne. Love Strava.
January!
Great! Lets us know when, I'll bring cookies.
He’ll confuse DR when he says the V is for VeloGuide
Based on your experienced, what is the minimum ftp for someone to be in a world tour team?
Cool to see Mr. wendall hall went from teaching at Beverly Hills high to coaching cycling. I always wondered what happened to him.
what was the stuff you were putting on your legs?
You must have some tolerance to the I-5 traffic around LA. I drove through LA traffic and don't know how you do it. Great videos though. Keep smashing the KOM's
Great stuff...I am headed to Las Vegas in a week with my bike.
Enjoy!
I want to go back to Red Rock Canyon just to ride. So long as it’s not Devil’s Breath degrees.
Love the Trainspotting reference. 😀
Ah my home town, glad you see it my way...Vegas blows.
Hey Phil, love you're videos. This one is my home town. Anyway I ride both of these rides often. Was looking at Strava for your times on both. But was unable to find them. Maybe your times have been beat. But you don't appear in the top ten for any of these places. A friend just set the up and down record at Mt Charleston of 2:03:13. I guess it's time to come back. Give us a heads up. Would love to ride out with you. Or show you some of the other rides here.
Stars and stripes trim on Phil G might be the US Hillclimb Champ colors. Is this right? Way to go PHIL
Source Endurance getting some screen time! Adam Mills taking over cycling!
Zack Allison is my coach so I have the same kit!!!
LOL, I used to live in Riverside. San Bernadino is a nice area
No, Baker is in San Bernardino County, but it is not in the San Bernardino Valley. The San Bernardino Valley is the area around the city of San Bernardino.
Phil very giggly. What he smoked? And what up with the spacegogles?
Cone art... 🔥🔥 😆
Jed!! We miss you dude!
I'd like to say thanks, I guess, to the gentleman who discovered Phil.
PS, were you considering using the systemsix at all for this?
He doesnt ride it much.
I can't watch with all those cars behind you.
Really did there van have to hog the whole road I would of flew by all there asses and those who know me know I would
I came on comments to see someone say something... I dig gaiman and what he's doing but they didn't have to do that n e ways keeps riding!
I’m sure the irony isn’t lost on you that someone choosing to live in Los Angeles slings mud at Boulder, even Las Vegas.
Just go to Boulder City instead. Or Blue Diamond. Oh yeah and take your mountain bike.
River Mountain Loop from Henderson is the best
Good video cheers
Jed bears such a strong resemblance to Wallace Shawn that for the whole video I kept waiting for him to exclaim, "Inconceivable!"
Super pretty, absolutely amazing. Also, lots of runners on this loop, good to see. And, Phil is much larger than the other rider. Is Phil super tall?
nah phils around 6'1"
What that device on his right glass lense for/do?
Matthew Vince data, power cadence and all the computer stuff.
@@sandrochiavaroBeerCircles Thanks, pretty nifty that
these guys that ride 20 mph up 7 percent grades kill me....they get all the kom around here too
What? Were going out in Vegas?!?!? Where is my striped polo! - Phil
Phil, have you ridden Magazine Mountain near Paris, Arkansas yet?
I think in like 2006!
That was in tripeaks challenge right?
Well, you should be rested up for another, moe better attempt! ;-) I like to think of myself as a climber (72 y.o.) and would love to see your "assault" on Magazine Mt., and you can ride all of the way into Paris, eh. ;-)
Should have done this with the systemsix
Which bike computer do you use?
Wahoo bolt!
It’s Red Rock Canyon, like in your picture ;-)
1:30 That's so funny, well done.
Jittery Jed
JEEEEED!!
How fitting that on this day, I see this hahahahahahahahaha. "this is no place for a fit person" accurately describes the last four years.
Festina cap. Lol
There's a dude running in the background @2:30.. must be a tourist.
Great city once you get off the strip. Lots of good cycling. Give it a chance.
That’s the whole point of the video!
@@worstretirementever thanks for the good comments at the end. Hope you come back and ride here again. Great video!
Love Henderson! Was there last week. Tuscany Grill & Shakespeare’s Pub!!❤️🍻🍻🍻🍻🍻
@@urby1720 I ride in Henderson and Boulder City all of the time. I love that you can ride here all year long, with no snow and little rain. It just gets a little warm in the summer months. There is definitely good riding if you look for it.
Yay mc ghies!! 😁 i love vegas
The English Major!
At 5:15 GCN...
Haha intro is too funny!
"INCONCEIVABLE"
I call bullshit! Ive lived in Henderson. And Ive lived in Orange County....THEY ARE NOT THE SAME! AT ALL!!
Oh man, that Lee Canyon highway is almost dead straight. One of the straightest mountain roads, ever. You have to come back and ride up Kyle Canyon up to the actual Mt Charleston. Almost as straight, but with a few more bends and scenery. But, yeah, stay away from The Strip.
I spent a year in Phoenix and Vegas is similar in that it is a giant, malignant suburb surrounded by one mile of interesting. The surrounding land is cool, but it's desolate and brown. I loved Flagstaff and I know Phil likes Tucson, but man...Vegas is the desert, humans should not live there.
ahhh the obnoxious beep with a nice wave. Go away cars... forever.
That's a dick joke. :-)
1:31 LOL
YES...the move to block out the worst visual part of Vegas...thanks.....thought you were colluding there Phil. Red Rock is a great ride...after the 5 mile hill !...Awesome stuff, and laughing as usual....Then there is river mountain loop trail for 35 miles...completely off road...The weirdest part of being down there in December/January is the sun is shining, and it's bloody cold...messes with your need for what you wear...then there is the wind..."A deleted scene from Train spotting"...priceless
First and 100%
was that burger vegan?
Former professional cyclist asks how being a professional poker player is "a thing"...
Trump rules camera man !
You got a subscriber for your comments at 1:39 alone
Probably lost some also
@@kurtobermeyer3356 true
Be careful, you're starting to look a bit thick...... ha
shave your head and thats .5w/kg of weight savings
*cough* Trump *cough*
You know you love Trump
6:49 are all those guys in your caravan? Why not pull over and let them pass
Keep to cycling not politics. I hate when people ruin our escapes. Pretty simple to not film in front of Trump. Still enjoyed it. Nice views you don't expect from Vegas.
I’ll talk about whatever I want
@@worstretirementever that actually made me laugh. Thanks. Well, the way I imagined you saying it made me laugh. Either way, it worked.
I love how people watching someone else’s CZcams channel think they have the right to edit the content. Phil can speak about whatever the eff he wants. And you can choose to watch or not watch. But don’t give him grief over his opinions or content.
@@lokie1964 did you mean elf? Just so you know, I didn't edit his content. That's not possible. As a fan you are allowed to give feedback. It should be welcomed by someone who is attempting to make money off these thing. You are correct, I can choose to watch or not watch. I do enjoy watching the KOM attempts, but just that. I don't let politics in to my normal cycling life either. So if they become political, I will choose not to watch whether that matters to you, or Phil, or anyone else means nothing.
I was about to give this a thumbs down until you threw shade at Trump. Thumbs UP!!!
That was first minute! why were you about to thumbs down?
Need a new camera man. He didn't like the Trump building. Fire him.
