It's so nice of you to do all this training so we don't have to.

[@justinosborn9703]

Was eating outside at Chipotle in Beverly Hills and saw these two go by. I did a double take and started freaking out. My friends didn’t understand why. I really should get new friends.

[@siskokidd]

So, I did pass by these two on Sunday while riding through Beverly Hills. They were descending Coldwater, heading to the water stop before their assault on Franklin Canyon, one of my favorite climbs. Two roadies flew past me heading down while I was heading up, and I heard the tall skinny one say, "on your socials...' as he flew past. My first thought was that had to be Gaimon since he uses that phrase in reference to social media. The rider in burnt orange was kind enough to acknowledge my climbing lumens with a wave. Phil was too busy talking.

[@worstretirementever]

Coldwater downhill demands two hands!

[@jamesskulczuk4205]

The American unit for power you should use is “foot-pound per second ” 1 foot pound is 1.355818 joules. Therefore a foot-pound per second is 1.355818 watts. (As a watt is joules per second) so 300 watts is 221 foot pound per second.

[@stephenpay8237]

Could also use horsepower as units, for purposes of confusing our metric cycling brethren, for power ouput.

[@imjstcl]

@@lndrstheminer Centihorsepower? Millihorsepower?

[@tehArcher]

How about Electronvolts per year?

[@Ian-je9cf]

If its not metres and kilometres i have no idea whats going on lol Australia only teaches metric

[@rcranes2227]

I knew I could come in here and see people nerd out on power units. I'll put my suggestion in for using BTUs. 3.4 per watt.

[@overthebarscycling2463]

I was a bit surprised to see “endurance” ride with all that punchy climbing up in that area of LA, then you noted “keeping it under 300”. Thanks for reminding me how weak I am 😉🤣🤣😂😢

[@ergallentine3744]

OverTheBarsCycling Yup. If I had to do a climbing day like that I’d have to keep it under 200. 😂

[@kitten-inside]

When you are always keeping it under 300, that just means all your rides are endurance rides.

[@DrewKime]

And 140 BPM or less. At 300 watts my HR would be redlining in a few minutes.

[@bitsurfer0101]

You should do "I'm burning 10 cookies per hour" instead of watts.

[@jenniferlien_]

Loving this architectural tour with some cycling on the side 😂

[@TheQuikMix]

5:15 "It ends at Jurassic Park, so we're gonna turn around. I've seen the movie." LMFAO

[@ARMWRESTLINGCYCLINGFRANCE]

Totally. That's my heart rate after eating half a pizza.

[@justinjewell1043]

Agreed. I'd be pushing 160 to keep up with them for a couple hours...

[@davidbahr8510]

I did rewind, thought i heard it wrong. At 300W i am way above 160bpm. Writing this from the safety of my couch

"Hey is that LeBron's house?" 😅😆 No shame

[@robinheil]

So many things to like about this video. The tour of beautiful LA, the commentary, the fact that someone is crazy enough to join you on this ride, and the fact that you went back and asked them in the end. lol

[@tonygSDWR]

@Phil Gaimon, Im impressed you knew the Andy Griffith jingle, haha!

[@mattburkey8393]

Love the Andy Griffith Show, one of grandpa's favorites. Still watch the Christmas Episode every year.

Barney Fife ! Don Knots was awesome.

[@gamby16a]

You're becoming the king of rad architecture tours. I love it!!!

[@joshtipton7417]

The fact that you did what's basically a half Everesting and it took 7 hours shows how absolutely insane a 7 hour full Everesting record is. Big kudos my friend

[@siskokidd]

Tour video request: Topanga Canyon, where it all began for me. All the surrounding climbs, such as up Topanga Canyon Blvd from PCH, up Old TCB, then right along Mulholland back to TCB, up and over heading toward the coast through town, then up Fernwood (Fire Station) to Saddle Peak, down Piuma, then Cold Creek to Mulholland, up Stunt Rd, then wherever you want from there. I actually like the Fernwood descent back to TCB. If heading to the coast, it's a safe ride going south on TCB because you're riding the same speed as traffic.

[@siskokidd]

TC has a lot of "hippy era" stories, which you hear a lot about if a resident. Neil Young lived up along Fernwood during the early 70's before moving to his current ranch. The first Manson Family murder in the summer of 69 (two weeks before Woodstock in NY) happened along Old TBC. There was a popular performance venue named Topanga Corral at the horseshoe shaped curve north of town where all the big name acts performed.

[@themaninpants6574]

This is NUTS. I did 11.1% for ~ 0.25 miles and genuinely wanted to vomit. These guys are finely tuned machines.

From North Carolina, so yes, I know the Andy Griffith Show. Been to Mount Airy, too.

[@guntherkerschbaumer1991]

You did so many lumens...you were lit 😂

[@nateh7674]

Damn 644L is like 50 watts. Thats some skill right there

[@mathewrose2951]

beat me to it

[@nateh7674]

@@mathewrose2951 Im pretty sure that's wrong but looking it up that conversion makes literally no sense.

[@ride_with_branden2168]

644 lumens in a halogen lamp is 32.2 watts

[@Colubedy]

It mostly depends on the efficiency of the lamp that produces the light, i.e. how much of the total watts produced is actually visible light. In other words, comparing lumens produced by artificial light with watts is non sensical as the conversion depends on a lot of factors and assumptions

[@justinbouchard]

I felt really close to you in this video. So I wore my face mask.

[@nickbur1799]

1 horsepower = 745.7W 🐴 (not to be confused with metric horsepower)

[@dnels493]

Everyone willing to move to horsepower say aye. If you say nay I may mistake it for a horse impression

[@phrides]

This. It's way cooler to say, I did half a horse up that pass than 375 Watts. Of course, then you've got to track your marginal gains well to the right of the decimal point, and we mortals are left with a shank of said horse, so it may not catch-on.

[@leah_slv]

These LA residential climb tours are awesome

[@leeoien3645]

6:52 We have such a term, being only one of three countries in the world that do not use the SI system. 1 Watt = 3.41 BTU/h (British Thermal Unit)!

[@mikeb9303]

I still watch Andy Griffith, just saying. a good wholesome TV show

[@NicolaCopsey]

"Let's do one more!" - so rad 🤙🏽

Ok fine

[@guzz95]

13:13 "Smash your wheel into this into and endo into the Pool"...hahahahaha!!!! Do it!

[@sandrochiavaroBeerCircles]

No Lambo lumens on my whaoo display🧐. Lol, great one dude✌🏽

[@stroudnick]

I'm a little late to the game here Phil, but if your talking Lumens in relation to the use of a regular incandescent bulb then the conversion factor is 15 lm/w. Therefore if your doing 300 w that would be equivalent to 4500 lm, easy! 😂

[@siskokidd]

True Santa Monica Mountains factoid: The highest elevation you can reach on a paved road in the Santa Monica Mountains, which includes the Hollywood Hills, is Saddle Peak Rd, beginning at the Fernwood/Tuna Canyon intersection in Topanga Canyon. As you climb, you'll know when you've reached that highest point (30 feet shy of 2500 feet) because the road suddenly turns downhill and sweeps around to Saddle Peak proper. It's also ridiculously beautiful up there. I'm gonna guess the distance from the bottom of TCB at PCH to that elevation point is 10 miles.

[@aemediainc]

I'd ride 15k feet with you! ...but it would definitely take me longer than 7 hours. :) Great ride Phil!

[@mndyD9]

The more the video goes on, the poorer and slower I feel 🤣 Anyone else seriously remember the Any Griffin Show? I do! I remember the reruns for that. Thanks for another great training video Phil!

[@dlmcdan]

If you want to confuse people, use horse power instead of watts. 1 horse power = 735.5 watts. 300 watts is about .41 hp.

[@Jarek.]

Damn, this is one of those videos where a single like is just not enough ‼️ So here you are: 👍👍👍

[@billward4643]

Phil should show up to Lebron's house on Tuesday with Tacos...he might have a chance.

[@jamescarlphotography4523]

Ben looks like a young Ned Overend.

[@johnheiss9954]

That's not Dan B's house...he lives ('rents') in the Bird Streets. Agree that "cookies / hour" should be the new standard unit of measure for power.

[@Wrong_Sport_Bo]

Lumens?! C’mon Phil. It’s like you never went to high school. Horsepower! 0.5 BHP = 372.85 Watts. To make it pronounceable and more confusing we should use fractional like we still do in bond trading. 1/16 {‘steenth} = 46.6 w 1/8 {eighth} = 93.2 w 1/4 {quarter} = 186.4w 1/2 {half or +} = 372.8w ... ... ... 1 {buck} = 745.7w And so on... thus two ‘Murican cyclists banter may go something like: “Bro! I crushed the sprint in cat3 this morning. Put the hammer down with 500ft to go doing a buck three-quarters (~1300w) and edged him at the line!” “Dude... that’s SICK! On my best day I’m only good for a buck plus (~1100w) DAMN!” You’re welcome. Now let’s make it happen!

[@stevedouglas3975]

Some nice roads to ride but man, it looks a maze! Even with a GPS you must need a knowledge of route otherwise bound to go off track.

[@SurpriseMeJT]

The one time I visited the LA area with my bike, I was around Will Rogers park and rode into a road that was marked private. I this rich lady tending to her horses started yelling at me "THIS IS A PRIVATE ROAD!".

you should get 2 or 3 Go pros one you can mount on your bike looking up at you one on your helmet and maybe one pointing forward on the bike and even under the seat on the back of hte bike then you can do more hands free and get better vid, you had mentioned how tuff it is to do all this yourself.

Do you have a video talking about what you bring on this type of ride? I.e nutrition, water, tubes, pump, etc?

[@gvsgaius]

Not them but I think they must have had a follow-car of some sort, or at least they frequently stocked up somewhere. If you look at their bikes and shirt contents, they hardly brought any food at all. For a 7-hour ride you'd need lots more food than that, especially if you ride at that kind of power.
