Going up is a lot less scary.

9:59 on this turn as I was descending, a driver coming uphill crossed the double yellow to turn into the gravel and blocked my entire lane with his car. I slammed into his passenger side and flipped over his roof. It was my first time doing Mt. Ham and I was so close to home! It happened on my 35th mile. My bike was totaled and I walked away with some bruises and cuts. I took photos of his car and the road for the police report. After taking photos I got on the phone with SJPD and then the driver took off! Thankfully I got his plate number and they found him. This happened a couple weeks ago. I did Mt. Ham yesterday and got my redemption, but there were several cars that took the corners extra sharp and were on the center paint. So many close calls… Stay safe everybody! Hamilton is a dangerous road with plenty of fast drivers who gamble on every corner thinking they have the entire road to themselves and use as much space as possible.

Hello can you please suggest me something to improve my ftp and any training plan suggestions on zwift that i can follow or anything specific plan that will increase my ftp? and i forgot to add that i have an tt event after 2to3 months. And i really need to increase my FTP for that and some power so that i can hold that for an hour effort because it is an 42km tt. So please if you can give me any suggestions i would be helpful like for me now i am doing 2x20mins and then gradually increase it by 3x20 then 2x30 so that I will train for an one hour effort. But i don't have anything structured training in between for that so does doing any zwift will help me in increasing my ftp and for time trail event? Please reply back🙏

Did u ride every day and for how long?

"Zone 2" has many very different definitions. It can be anywhere from 60-85% depending on the person's lactate, and which expert you ask. 60% is radically different training from 80%. You can also reach any heart rate zone with endless combinations of cadence, grade/resistance, and duration of intervals. What cadences and heart rate percentages did you spend the most time in? What was your training distribution? Did you find increasing cadence, gear/resistance, or duration most improved your FTP?

I just came across this video I have been thinking hard about getting into cycling to try and loose weight. I find it hard to get motivated to actually do it specially the eating part. What kind of diet did you do. I would like to loose around 40 to 59 pounds. Do you have any good insight for me I would really appreciate thanks

nothing like going out to my recreational sporting activity and getting yelled at- road cycling rocks !

More muscles speeds up your metabolism to burn more fat

Strength training will help improve your cycling.

You need to track your macros. Protein, carbs & fat. Protein 1.0 × your body weight = grams of protein. Focus on lean protein, unrefined carbohydrates and healthy fats. Stay away from the seed oils. I have a degree in Nutrition & Dietetics

Just a heads up that the KZbin gods recommended this to me and I've never heard of NorCal Cycling lol

Guaranteed to double your speed, if the mullet gets made more aerodynamic 🤣. Well done, seen your progress, absolute unit.

Momm! Im not biking, im CYLCING!!

Almost 2 mins of pointless blather before the video really starts

I am turning 40 this year and tired of felling like crap. Started biking more and more each day, now im up to 25 miles a day and will keep pushing. Feels good having endurance grow again and not feel as winded each time.

So random to see my hometown of mundelein in this video 😂

I see everyone riding bikes with drop bars. Is that a requirement or something?

Went down this segment today, took the tight corners closer to 17 mph, couldn't imagine bombing down them at 30!

Scared to get started. Worst weight of my life right now at 240 and have done no stretching or exercising in years. it’s all a pizza/soda gut. Because of that, I’m afraid to hurt myself or damage the bike at my weight (old 80s metal road bike) so I’m wondering what the best way to ease into it all would be without hurting myself. I would absolutely love to ride the Camino de Santiago in the fall and would be so proud of myself if I pulled it off. Any advice is very welcomed!!!

I’m surprised you have not snapped your frame like a tweak yet! 😂

I'm not overweight, but I've been unhappy with my eating for the past few years. Despite exercising a good amount, I've gradually started to gain fat. I used to get away with it because I was so active when I was younger, but can't anymore. Thank you for sharing how you did it!

This video quality is absolutely sick. Oh my god I love this.

Cycling is the best. Lost 5kg in fat in 10 days cycling from one end of UK to the other and all went from my waist. First time in 35 years saw my abs!

52 years, began cycling seriously just before and during Covid. I fully agree of the benefits of cycling to mental health

Stop waffling.

That's a pretty quick group ride for a first

This is my hometown I won this for the 4/5s in 2014 ❤

You popped up as a recommendation.... a year later, but they fed it to me.

What was your daily/ weekly mileage?

Greta race, I like the camera work 👌

Noticing a theme with big hair guy and his elbows during races 🤔

Nice work. Lucky you didn't get tangled up in the crash!

Too much crying. Dramatic.

My man! I *did* just happen on this video and I’m very grateful. You’ve motivated me to keep biking more.

i've just started road biking year ago, my FTP was at that time 3.4W/kg (73kg, ~250W), how can I double it ? :)

Careful dude! Definitely sick you lost the weight. The way you said “if I eat X amount of calories I just have to ride extra to burn it off”. That’s the definition of bulimia. The purging of calories through in your case exercise.

Found this. New to cycling. Never heard of Norcal cycling lol

You're a brave man hitting that cattle guard at speed! 7:14

"Jeffery"

you won this race by avoiding that crash. insane handling no panic brakes there edit: I'm wow with this strategy 56:35 upclimb @30mph :D I'm actually looking for this like how did jeff get into 4th, 5th position with few laps to go after that crash.,

Man, great job avoiding the crash or hitting other cyclists on the floor. I thought you were done until the very end.

wow

I won the race to click 'like'! Yayyy!! 😃

What bike did you buy when you first started?

Reserve is not hookless?

Great motivational video! Im a former professional baseball player (Pitcher) who has picked up recreational cycling in the last month now that I’m 41 and slowing down in life. Currently living in San Jose and enjoying local rides at the moment. Steven’s creek reservoir / Foohill expressway on the weekends. Similar to you I have a passion for food and have committed to kicking that habit with the intention of fueling my rides and staying disciplined. The mental clarity, drive and motivation I have to hop on a bike and go for a ride knowing my body will respond to it has been a fitness life changing experience.
