    How to tell if someone's a cyclist? They run like a wounded deer that's had a stroke.

    Come to the UK national hill climb champs, so many people cut the drops off! 1xdrivetrains, even fixies. It’s great

    Just looked up your time because you didn't mention it and I'm curious because I've ridden Pikes Peak. Holy crap 1:08:46! That's fast. Took me just over 2 hrs.

    Congratulations, Phil, you are the Champion! I hope nobody tells Fabian. He might start sha-sha-sha-shaking in his boots. And it is great that the duel between you two is on like a neon sign over an old diner on the outskirts of town.

    You're back! With normal handlebars (I was about to leave a very scathing comment about retirees who go back to those but okay, UCI rules), dildos (take that, UCI!) and "people" (were there any?). Brilliant video!

    Cuttings the bars is very popular in the UK hill climb events

    • @Maxwaehrens
      @Maxwaehrens Před 5 lety

      They even skip the bar tape. But British hill climbs are more like sprints than long endurance climbs.

    @RyonBeachner Před 6 lety +8

    I’d be happy to make a lead weight to slide in the seat tube to avoid having to travel with the the current...”rocket shaped ballast”. 😂
    But seriously, just let me know how heavy.

    I gotta know, is it pro to put your sunglasses on before your helmet only to take your sunglasses back off so they're not behind the helmet straps?

  • @mikeburton8426
    @mikeburton8426 Před 6 lety +13

    And... I just did most of Haleakala in Maui. Ran into some bad weather. You should bag that one. Fellow Canadians Wood and Hesjedal are current and previous record holders. From Paia town the record is about 2:30 ish. 0-10000 ft.

    • @Starclimber
      @Starclimber Před 6 lety +1

      I ran into bad weather there too, and was more than dumb enough to continue. Second the notion that Phil should take a crack at it.

    • @davidglenn6259

      @geoffreyanderson4719 Před 5 lety

      Is the climb even bigger at KOM of Taiwan? How big is Haleakala in Maui? Taiwan is like 105KM at about 10%. THat's one hundred five kilometers.
