Cannondale, Mavic, Castelli, Chamois Buttr, Velofix, Clif, ISM, Arundel, New Balance, Oakley, The Feed, Wahoo, and Orucase all helped Phil get to the bottom of the climb. He'll have to get himself to the top.
Huge thanks to Cause + Effect for editing this episode, but don't judge them for filming because that was mostly Phil. Also thanks to Roger Carry, Frank Overton, Brandon Dyksterhouse, Matt Johnson, and The Feed.

“Inexplicably wealthy 22 year olds driving Tesla’s....basically I hate this place” hahahahahahaha I died

“a guy named sepp kuss” 6 years later that guy wins a grand tour

@cup_and_cone 7 лет назад

I find your description of Boulder disturbingly accurate.

@MikeFrench-Meonshore 7 лет назад

Best production yet. Loved this episode, and can't wait for 8.5 to drop - good luck !

@literoadie3502 7 лет назад

I feel Palomar was the best segment (and the funniest!), no?

@shawnreddick9312 7 лет назад

Yes, this is by far the best episode. The post-race analysis is great too

@brendanmalone-ewing6535 7 лет назад

Good the see the post-ride analysis. Would be cool to see it on future videos

@aitoraltuna 7 лет назад

Good maths Phil, "from 2012 so 7 years". Love that video too btw

@Marc-iv8pk 7 лет назад

As a pro, there was no need for him to perform his own arithmetic.

@dayjn 7 лет назад

Brilliant episode, the quality keeps improving! Good luck on the 2nd attempt :-)

@bicyclerider3978 7 лет назад

Great bumper tunes. I feel like a I'm watching a 70's spy/detective show. Tape on a mustache!

@mrwicksy 7 лет назад

x2 for this! Upvoted for the funk.

@bicyclerider3978 7 лет назад

I need a new wah wah

@VitekHolubovsky 7 лет назад

MINI AERO BARS!!! That's 2 extra points on the obnoxious-o-meter right there! I love it! Will you consider talking about them in the Phil's Garage segment?

@madmonkeycycling9098 7 лет назад

Try to hit Alpe D'Huez? KOM is by Peter Pouly, who is now an amateur ambassador for cycling in Thailand, who is also a former pro, busted for EPO back in the days. So most likely, the KOM on Alpe D'Huez, is also on EPO

@istegalkarl 7 лет назад

Asolutely. Pouly has lots of KOMs. He is now competing and winning events like the Haute Route, where there is no doping control at all.

@chrisryder7809 7 лет назад

Phil as fellow athlete (with a complete lack of talent) I just wanted to tell you i LOVE your books, I'm 28 and there the only thing I've read since high school lol. Keep it up!

@worstretirementever 7 лет назад

Thank you! Preorder Draft Animals so I get a good ranking! xoxo.

@JimWhySoSlim 7 лет назад

Nice production and I tip my hat to you for leaving us wanting more! Good luck with round 2.

@johnbailey520 7 лет назад

Slacking at the slackline... Yeah, pretty bad but I had to laugh. Guilty.

@usernameunknkown 7 лет назад

See bro, you're getting WAY more fame doing this shit, than you ever would have if you were still in the game. Good stuff!

@benjaminbsmith70 7 лет назад

Coach's bias: this episode with Overton's commentary and feedback was the best one yet.

@BikeBodyMind 7 лет назад

So sick!! Just moved to Boulder this summer and I must say, Flagstaff is a kickass climb.

@santiagobenites 7 лет назад

Ok, I just subscribed but only because you're so cool. I don't ask for much in return, but please don't let me down, Phil. Please don't stop being so cool. Thanks.

@247MS1 7 лет назад

Best episode yet. Good luck for the next climb! Would love to see just a bit more of the stats during the climb :)

@jamesrhodes5305 7 лет назад

All the best for take 2 Phil. You got this 🤘🏻

@Myrulv 5 лет назад

As plain, average (probably worse) rider my self, I really admire your take on cycling! This is what cycling is all about!

@worstretirementever 5 лет назад

You’re above average in my book buddy! Thank you!

@irespectfullyrefuse 7 лет назад

Excellent production quality, love your work as always!

@dwembree 7 лет назад

Absolutely love these vids Phil, thanks for rocking this retirement so well!

@yuriziryukin1909 7 лет назад

Keep it going, Phil! I really enjoy watching your videos.

@ralph1269 7 лет назад

Love this stuff. Cool to see how you and your coach breakdown and discuss a plan for the next attack. And even though very few of us hacks reach the level of top pro athlete, I think we ALL have shared that EXACT feeling at about the 7min mark when you just drop the bike and hunt for a shady spot to die. ;-)

@9athoma 7 лет назад

Love the videos Phil......come to Bend, Oregon crush the McKenzie Pass climb. We'll bring the cookies for you!!

@woolfel 7 лет назад

thanks for suffering for our entertainment. I liked the analysis afterwards. Good luck on the second attempt

@richycoles 7 лет назад

keep rocking Phil

@alanhill7965 6 лет назад

I am hooked on these worst retirement videos ,,,oh and the books ,,,,,and the podcasts

@saltydog9117 7 лет назад

Great episode. In addition to the drugs issue, weren't some of these records set by guys that were drafting up portions of the climb?

@TheJoePavlik 7 лет назад

Yeah I remember another episode where he couldnt get the time because parts of the route flattened out and there was drafting when the record was set.

@kmac720 7 лет назад

It's 14.7mph average, but this climb is flat, up, flat, up. So it might be 20mph+ on the flat sections and 10mph on the steep parts. (Just guessing, but that was based on their description of it.)

@humanpowered1 7 лет назад

yet one more suggestion: Come get the KOM on Bogus Basin Road outside of Boise, Idaho. 15 miles, 3500(?)ft vertical. Just gotta ave 16+ mph for 50minutes or so. Piece o' cake. Instant local celeb.

@GoodPresets 7 лет назад

I agree.. one of my favorite climbs and a nice view.

@Btstaz 7 лет назад

enjoying these, keep them up!

@Quadmod 7 лет назад

Cliffhanger! Love it.

@josephgerber7160 5 лет назад

I come from Boulder and I agree with everything you said about it !

@robbchastain3036 7 лет назад

Fantastic, Phil, already looking forward to your second attempt and not that you have to win or anything, just giving it your best is a good show. And yeah, for a slacker, riding a slack line looks like way too much work, ugh.

@Phillyisalwayssunny 7 лет назад

Great stuff again !

@rossage5 7 лет назад

Your strava file says "2nd fastest time"...not 2nd fastest overall...does that mean you did a faster run later and its not showing up or something?

@FinnThomsen 6 лет назад

rossage5 yes, this was his "practice" run, watch part 2 for the real one.

@AustinGbikes 2 года назад

Do it again, you're stronger now. 💪

@jamegumm 4 года назад

The Strava segment is called “Flagstaff to Gregory Canyon”. It took me 19:44 on my lone attempt😭

@cameronsmith3966 7 лет назад

Fun to watch, go get em!

@binbob9 7 лет назад

Thought the cookie jersey had gotten some sleeves. Then I realised your arms are the same colour as the jersey...

@xgalvan1 7 лет назад

Ellis lmao. That jersey was awful

@JumpingWatermelons 7 лет назад

I believe in you!

@pahouseholder 7 лет назад

Get it, Phil! Wisdom to rest. Guts to go again.

@davidholmes5276 7 лет назад

Great effort on Flagstaff! Remember Graeme Obree missing the hour record one day in 1993 then coming back the next day to claim it. That was a true amateur hour that paid off.

@dickroot1937 7 лет назад

Always stoked for a new Phil video, cant wait for part 2. I think he will get it.

@smallerfreeze 7 лет назад

i dig it... keep the videos coming

@radhaksr 6 лет назад

I think you need to mention that you ride on the right side of the road unlike any records you are going after that was created as part of a race where the riders would use the apex of the road. That should easily account for the 20 odd seconds depending on the number of corners.

@BrunoVasco 7 лет назад

"this is where I died"... imma doing it again!

@SentinelWERA43 7 лет назад

Fuck yea! Go get it Phil!

@MyDadWasALifeguard 7 лет назад

I was shocked when I saw 11:11 as the record..it reminded me that I’m not very good. Beautiful climb though

@seanreilly6618 Год назад

Phil if you're reading this... you still drop your bike like a pro after the effort, something to work on.

@jhockey1212 3 года назад

Coming here in 2021 when sepp is a house hold name

@nickg2653 2 года назад

lol this guy named Sepp Kuss

@VegasCyclingFreak 7 лет назад

I would be dead last on that segment lol. But I have a heart condition, so that's my excuse.

@daugherc 7 лет назад

I vote for Sunshine over a take 2 on Flag.

@trek5900kestreltalon 7 лет назад

It's all about psychology and physics. You can't maximize the physics until you fix the psychology.

@craftsoda 7 лет назад

yes! go get it again.

@rossg9361 6 лет назад

Phil, great series of videos. But please use metric, outside USA and Uk imperial is not well understood.

@fhowland 7 лет назад

Wish he had gone all the way to the mailboxes!

@nicholasmiller733 7 лет назад

Bring it to Utah!!!

@jackcurphey1526 7 лет назад

You should do Mt. Tam

@DarthJabba504 7 лет назад

A climbers weight saving trick...you can use smaller front rings (48/32 or 46/30 which weigh less) since you don't need top speed, which will then allow you to use a cassette with smaller cogs (also less weight, i.e. 11-25 instead of 11-28) and get the same or smaller lowest gear inches.

@ericwilliamjohnson 7 лет назад

why no power overlay like the other videos? did the aero bars make a positive difference?

@gbrambles95 7 лет назад

Eric Johnson no aero bars, just the pads to rest elbows on.

@gbrambles95 7 лет назад

Eric Johnson no aero bars, just the pads to rest elbows on.

@MichaelSchmittBEN 7 лет назад

Wow over 500 Watts for over 2 Minutes and then go on riding. There i can see the difference between a pro and a hobby cyclist like me. I was able this year to push 608 Watt for 1 minute 12 sec. and 495 Watts fo 1 minute 47 sec. But then i stoped cycling for 10 minutes. And i guess i am 10 kilogramm heavier. your power is impressive!!!!!

@shmee40 7 лет назад

no one believes your fake ass power numbers

@MichaelSchmittBEN 7 лет назад

Very kind of you :-)

@brianford5643 6 лет назад

agree.....please......'I was only able to do 608 bla bla bla.......' who the f@#$ cares what you were able to (pretend to) do

@FinnThomsen 6 лет назад

Michael S. theyre jealous chumps michael, dont sweat em

@geg_otmopo3 3 года назад

WTF is that reaction lol. My FTP is 4.8W/kg, TRASH ME!

@tryhardpker 7 лет назад

Have you ever thought about riding a fixed gear? I mean if the climb is relatively steady? You could do the math to select the right gear ratio... plus you would save that little more weight aswell as it being a tiny bit more efficient.

@VitekHolubovsky 7 лет назад

In the past people in the comment section tried to persuade him to use a single chainring and he politely told them to go fuck themselves.

@davonpointer2310 6 лет назад

Anybody know what soundtrack has been used.

@ericwalls4930 7 лет назад

well, the Tour did not end at the top. maybe the top of this segment but not the top of the mountain.

@trent7919 7 лет назад

Frank, Frank, Frank...cut the hair!

@koletina 7 лет назад

Cool

@wackery_zeimer 7 лет назад

Crush it next time!

@TurneyUK 7 лет назад

You had a bidon, what? Extra weight! Also disappointed to see you are still running a front brake. Doesn't look like the aero bars were much use on this occasion either, ditch them. Strava is horrible like that don't you find? I always think that I could have done a bit better right? Getting 2nd or 3rd is so 😱😫😤

@MrMJJ23 5 лет назад

how do you find out who was a doper

@fradd4045 7 лет назад

@jimsestito8207 7 лет назад

@emersoncolin 7 лет назад

I need 8.5....come on Phil.......please

@worstretirementever 7 лет назад

it's up! Check the channel!

@emersoncolin 7 лет назад

Thanks Phil, you da man

@alwaysup22 7 лет назад

Phil, don't intend to be rude whatsoever, but at 9:44 your neck looks like it may have basal cell carcinoma. i would have a doc take a look at it if you haven't already. could be just a mole or a cut or something, but sun exposure with cyclists is obvi something to keep an eye on.

@worstretirementever 7 лет назад

Casey Langenberger ha ingrown hair but thanks.

@MrNewlife1968 7 лет назад

You need to wear lower socks Phil. Less weight, and lowers rotational weight.

@Naturalhighz 7 лет назад

fabric has way less friction compared to the skin. having as high socks as possible or a full body skinsuit would be considerably more aero. Only reason pro riders don't use higher socks is because the rules state that socks may not go higher than halfway up to the knee.

@MrNewlife1968 7 лет назад

Naturalhighz Can he wear nylons?

@xgalvan1 7 лет назад

I think mrnewlife is being facetious....
