Note from Phil: i know I'm supposed to hate all dopers so it looks weird, but for more about my relationship with Danielson, see "Pro Cycling on $10 a Day," my podcast with Adam Myerson, or my next book, "Draft Animals," coming out in October at Phil's Fondo.
Cannondale, Mavic, Castelli, Chamois Buttr, Velofix, Clif, ISM, Arundel, New Balance, Oakley, and Orucase all helped Phil get to the bottom of the climb. He'll have to get himself to the top.
Phil's cookie Fondo will be here before you know it: www.philsfondo....

Way to go Phil! I recall that it took me 1.5 hrs longer than you to do that climb! But I didn't cut the ends of my handlebars off and left both brakes on so who knows how fast I could have gone! ;-)

@rcrocha72 7 лет назад

I'm sure you would get it :)

@santanakameron1496 3 года назад

I guess Im asking the wrong place but does any of you know a tool to log back into an Instagram account? I was dumb forgot my account password. I would appreciate any help you can offer me!

@Santana Kameron instablaster =)

@santanakameron1496 3 года назад

@Royal Onyx i really appreciate your reply. I got to the site through google and I'm waiting for the hacking stuff now. I see it takes a while so I will reply here later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

@santanakameron1496 3 года назад

@Royal Onyx it did the trick and I finally got access to my account again. I'm so happy:D Thank you so much, you saved my ass!

Phil, your candor and brutal honesty is inspiring. I ride as hard and often as I can, but still consider myself a swimmer, because my first love was swimming, knowing I could beat anybody, because nobody on earth would be willing to go as deep as I was willing to go. Turns out I couldn't beat them, and it took a lot of years to come to terms with that. What you're doing is awesome, entertaining as hell, and for what it's worth, meaningful to people like me.

@murdockcrc 7 лет назад

This vid is so much more engaging than the previous episodes because it's much more personal. Very well done. Congrats on the KOM And based on Dumoulin's fiasco today: pooping before riding is such a good decision! :-)

@TheVCAdventures 7 лет назад

PLEASE LET ME EDIT ONE OF YOUR KOMS BRO! Lets get some sick overlays on this sucker! KILLER JOB on the vloging leading up to the attempt, solid content bro!

@FatmanCycling 6 лет назад

and your Lookout Mountain edit is awesome !!! Luv it !!

@flourcitybread2898 7 лет назад

These are getting better. You should FaceTime with Danielson for every episode. That was very cool. Thank you for these.

@dominicgiannantonio9696 7 лет назад

Domoulin found out today that you go when it's time, not when you're ready 😂😂😂

@Naturalhighz 7 лет назад

My golden rule when doing any sport but especially cycling is to always take a pre-game dump. About 45 mins before a race I would force myself out there because there is nothing worse than suddenly needing to get rid of something during a race :D

@sebastianoctavia6112 7 лет назад

No DUMP no PLAY. Ive pulled out of rides before for not dumping prior.

@JeffreyThistle 7 лет назад

lol, poor guy. he's still going to win the giro though. Big Tom's riding like a beast.

@AgencyEric 7 лет назад

I hope he wins, but I'd be lying if I say I'm not also a little suspicious.

@gtolsdorf 7 лет назад

Phil, this episode was SO MUCH better than the previous ones. I think the less-polished style is so much more engaging. It was more personal and less about the achievement and more about the journey you made in search of it. It also captures your personality a bit better, overall, since it seems you were the one who edited it. Favorite one so far. Stick with this style, IMO.

@batbawls 7 лет назад

Best channel I've found in a long time. The category should be comedic documentary.

@dayjn 7 лет назад

Congratulations on the KOM! Really enjoy your videos - and they're getting better every time.

@999NINE99 3 года назад

At 11:00 this is a climbing clinic. One of the best things about this channel is the introspective into the sport in subtle ways.

@MattRettmer 7 лет назад

Great work Phil!! Also, good idea talking with Danielson and having him give you some insights..glad to hear him be willing to give you advice! Good dude to help you with the strategy. Well done Brother!

@psalmon3582 7 лет назад

That was great, congratulations. There is not enough of your type of rich character in the pro peloton, or at least we don't see it which is too bad. Keep inspiring us! Thank you!

@paulpoletes6341 7 лет назад

The piano music that plays with the final credits and list of sponsors is really sad--it's the kind of music they play in documentaries about tornadoes, when they show what's left of a town that was flattened.

@80zcyclist22 7 лет назад

I started cycling 3 years ago and could not get my FTP past 260 watts. I would never do drugs to enhance performance but I decided to buy a bike with a hidden motor that gives you an extra 100 watts (vivax assist) because I hate getting past on the roads. I probably would have started using it in races as well. After listening to your audio book "Pro Cycling on $10 a Day" I changed my mind and heart. I cancelled my vivax assist order and resolved to work harder on the bike. I achieved something I never thought possible. My FTP is now 310 and I feel like there is still a lot more room for improvement. I will always be a Phil Gaimon fan!

@eoghan4378 7 лет назад

80z Cyclist you are a spastic

@80zcyclist22 7 лет назад

"SPASTIC" Someone who walks with their head angled 30-45 degrees to the side, one of their arms in a crooked position, their feet turned inwards (like Kevin Spacey in The Usual Suspects), walking down a street, with the occasional noise (like that dude in Cube) "Errrrrahhhhhhhh". Yep. That about sums me up AA BB.

@mickcollins6004 7 лет назад

I'm a lumpy, slow, British bloke, and if I had a hat on, I'd tip it in your direction. Top work mate - that looked like hard work. Apart from the cookie bit.

Come do Mt. Evans hill climb here in Colorado. You can stay at our cabin in Dillon. And while you're out here you can do Lookout Mtn.

@johnpaulstez 7 лет назад

Your thoughts and that face at the end of the effort is the same face I had at the end of every triathlon I ever did!

@renegadetenor 3 года назад

Thanks for clearing up why I tend to feel like a dufus on that hill...I'm massively outclassed! I think I have some new ideas though now. See some of you in December:)

@skypucktrader9909 5 месяцев назад

You remind me of Bill Hader - you’re hilarious. Definitely a sand fire up there on Mt. Lemmon 😂

@jeremysweeten2792 7 лет назад

Phil, it was AWESOME to see you at BWR...and under the radar and just out to compete. (I knew it was you at the start line!) I'd love to hear how your day in the saddle went. Any blog or posts where I could read? I love your narration.

@tonyboughman8050 6 лет назад

Phil should thank Tom for the advice. Nice work. Fun to watch, thanks!

@stianmaurstad 7 лет назад

Congrats on a nother great KOM & video Phil! You´re such an fun inspiration to the sport. Take some well earned rest days, yet please upload (at least something, doesn´t have to be a KOM) when you´re rested, because your way of looking at the sport is so good for the sport. Of how we look at our self & the sport. Of course it´s about competing (against your self?) and sometimes (though for most verry seldom) winning, it´s also about having fun! & not being so boring serious. Anyways, it´s what keeps me going. That balance.

@LMunhoz28 7 лет назад

Awesome video and effort!

@cookiemonsteryumyum0 7 лет назад

Love your videos dude! You should come to Reno NV and try to KOM our local climb, geiger grade. The current KOM is Laurens Ten Dam.

@johnhammond948 5 лет назад

Great stuff. You should come to Boise and ride to Bogus Basin with Kristen Armstrong.

@willemjohannes9007 6 лет назад

you could have gone faster if you hadn't weighed your head unit down by loading the live segment into it. you're lucky you still made it

@Nigelv 7 лет назад

good show

@_pedalfaster_ 2 месяца назад

And now I think ya need to go get it back!!!

@geoffreyanderson4719 5 лет назад

Find your heart rate during training efforts to find out how much heart you can hold up a mountain when you are fit. Put the HR right there during an event or a strava segment. I think Phil could go faster on a "big day" if he used watts or HR like this.

@matthewsully4565 7 лет назад

come down to Australia Phil. Take on the tour down Under KOM.

@mikehenry872 7 лет назад

@dinkobratoev9637 5 лет назад

How much does he weight atm ? he looks super fit in this vid

@jbialis 7 лет назад

Nice work! Out of curiosity, why didn't you use the 21 mile segment that covers the whole climb that's titled "Mt Lemmon"? Which segment did you KOM? Thanks!!

@worstretirementever 7 лет назад

Explained in the vid. I think that segment requires running a stop sign, and it was rolls at the top, so I had to pick a top. See the WRE segment I made to show what I was aiming for

@jbialis 7 лет назад

Thanks I must have missed that part!

@sebastianoctavia6112 7 лет назад

Strava live segments are good BUT the way the data seems to present over distance as a whole as opposed to where you are at that moment compared to the KOM presents a problem in a sense that you could be lighting it up at the beginning of the segment and killing it so you chill and then when you hit the inclines you are all of a sudden dropping back at a great rate and then in the red.
