It's been a decade since Si was a Pro Cyclist, and it's been even longer since he last took part in a Cyclocross World Championships, but that doesn't mean he doesn't still have a hunger for competitive racing! Si is taking part in the World Masters Cyclocross Championships to rekindle that flame, and see just how hard the competitive world of Masters Racing is. How close can he get to a world title?!

He did super

He absolutly smashed it, the race too, not just the barrier. 😃

@belowthehill Год назад

So glad you finally discovered Masters races. After a few years of watching my daughters race triathlons, I thought that I can still do this! I was 63 at the time and signed up for one with them using my old Trek hybrid bike. Big mistake. While I crushed them in the swim (that’s my big thing) they sailed past me on the bike offering encouragements. Grrr… Next race, upgraded bike to light Specialized bike and very much enjoyed encouraging them to keep up with old dad! Before covid hit, I did five races that summer, coming in with a first with in the aqua/bike (no run) group, because my knees were gone due to arthritis. It was hard to collect my medal because I couldn’t climb up on the podium stand without help from the second and third place finishers. They were cool and could relate… When riding with my mates its like were still 16 and going for broke. I don’t feel old when we’re riding together up mountains in Colorado or Vermont. And my wife is ready waiting to take pictures on our triumphant return. The masters guys Tom interviewed I can tell are kindred spirits. Old is not a thing. Riding your bike as best you can is a thing!

@nex_randomness6493 Год назад

dang! Tom has aged well. A decade had just passed eh. He looks amazing.

@richardhaselwood9478 Год назад

One of the "problems" with Masters racing is that news events tend to focus on a few dodery old Gents in their 90's who have out lasted most of their competition (and, to be honest, bravo to them). In reality, many of these guys are former elite racers, who've been racing at that level for decades. I have a riding buddy, who has won the Australian Masters Championships in his age group for TT and road race (about 70 YO). He regularly flogs the legs off bunch of us around on group rides who are 30 or 40 years younger than him. Frankly, he's not fit for a 70 year old, he's fit for a 30 year old. He informs me, most of his competition are at his level. Until his recent retirement, he would have been training about 10 hours a week I'd say. Now he's retired, he can get serious about training again :) Also, awesome to see Lasty in front of the camera again.

@gcn Год назад

There's some absolute hitters out there! Just proves that age is just a number!

@CL-dh2mf Год назад

This is the content I love and the reason I'm still subscribed!👍 Seeing Lasty back feels so good, my hair turned grey the same way in the meantime.😄🤗

Cannings and Lasty head to head? Cross race or road race?

@matt_acton-varian Год назад

Good to see Lasty make a rare appearance! And Chapeau Simon not even those barriers could break your spirits (or your ankles)! Thoroughly entertaining and thanks for showing more non-elite category racing! More content like this!

Great to see Lasty back "The guy that won was going pretty fast" "Yeah, you didn't see much of him"! Big respect to Is, 7th at World Masters you looked smooth and skilled. Dan's gonna have to call you "The Sandman" and I don't mean because you send him to sleep!

Tom - giving off the george clooney talc vibes. Great to see you back again. I think that you can get rid of that brick from the studio now.

Well done Si and great to see Lasty back in front on camera. Sneaky one Si getting in at the bottom of the age group. Will we see more? Certainly got me thinking about having a go. The race buzz, the wobbly legs, lungs busting but what a feeling when done and tails to tell. Go the Vets!

Go for it! Its never too late

I was just waiting for the cramp to sneak up on you when you presented the bikes! This video was an absolutely marvellous way to kick off my Sunday.

@jonathanhayden7953 Год назад

Well done, SI and Tom for support. Showed us all how intense and fun racing can be at any age. I raced Senior X-Country(Running) Nationals a few years ago here in the USA (before switching to road cycling). Limited training for everyone, but the racing, felt quite intense as it was sleeting and 1 degree C. Loved it! Cyclocross seems the same experience. GCN should do this more often with the presenters, even Dan if he has not gotten too old for a cycling challenge. . .

@gcn Год назад

Dan and cyclocross!.. not a good mix 👀

@glennstokes2162 Год назад
