Hill Climb Cycling Race With Power Data ! Full Send & Fast But Chaotic Warm Up !

[@leebaxter8654]

Well done Phill.. Love it that you kept very cool and friendly despite the time penalty. A true gent... Good group of guys aswell ✔💪👊

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

Thanks Lee - thats really lovely of you to say so 🙏 My view is that it’s just a bit of fun to take part - and the main battle is to get a good individual climb👍 Really lovely part of the world for a ride out and a few punchy climbs (anythwere upto 10mins) 👌. And for sure - a really nice bunch of guys - was a lot of fun making this one 💯

[@Frankthegravelrider]

Good video, that driver at 8:05 jessuss...zero patience

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

Thanks Fr Ya - that’s very kind of you 🙏 was a surprisingly good climb! Yes - I thought the car would wait too! 😳

[@canningsimon]

I thought that. Way too close. Ignorant people.

[@ajlexinicole7]

Awesome job, Phil!!! I ordered that jersey that you have on for the climb as it looks great!! Love the channel and have been looking at all of your videos and love the content. Keep up the great work!!

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

Cheers Baxter 🙏 Thats extremely generous of you 💯. I do love the jersey - and hope you enjoy it also 👌 Thanks ever so much for reaching out with such positive energy - plenty more to come 👍

[@MichaelBoogerd]

Great to see the Wilier is back and in business.

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

Thanks Chris - it’s been 5months! And I’ve managed to ride it more than 8km this time😂. I’ll provide review of the bike and wheels once I’ve had a few more hard trainings on it 👍

3:15 Brining back Chris Froome TT vibes when he didn't take the olbas oil buds out of his nose! Brilliant video Phill!

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

Cheers Giacomo 🙏 - I’d forgotten Chris F had done that! Thanks so much - was a lot of fun to make! And super kind of you 👍💯

Loved this vid! 👍👍 great bunch of guys and not an ego in sight.... luckily.... with the unplanned pre-race issues 😂💪💪👍👍

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

Cheers Scott 🙏 - they are a lovely bunch to ride out with💯 ....it wouldn’t be the same without a pre race hic cup or two!! 🤪

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

Great video Phil with a strong showing up the climb! Was epic meeting you and I have never been so nervous on the camera not knowing whats going to make the cut haha

[@GiorgioCoppolaCycling]

PS going to be cheeky and chalk up the victory ;)... Pays to be on time haha

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

It was amazing to meet you in person Giorgio - and I love what you are developing with your channel. You are a super strong amateur athlete - and will be a force of nature on Zwift and for the Cross season. Am looking forward to getting back down your way for another ride out - or an attempt on your assault bike 🤢🤮 . And for sure - talk up the victory 🧐 - if only you ever learn to rest a tad more, you’ll be mixing it at the top of the field! ✊💯💪

[@lorddilego6805]

Well done, Phill! Time penalty aside, you seemed to be going well! The build-up...well, it was partially the typical Phill thing and partially just plain old-fashioned bad luck. ;P Nice to see Chris, Paul and Giorgio as well. Nice little "band of climbers" you put together there. ;)

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

It was certainly a PB over that time: 2mins 40sec averaging 400w straight into 2mins averaging 285W. Ed’s training paying off, Lord 💪. Yes - the change in seasons sometimes causes the nose bleed - and it was bad luck it happened for the 20mins pre the event.... but I still should have set off earlier. But all good - the battle is against yourself! Absolutely - Chris, Giorgio and Paul are very nice guys to ride out with 👍💯

[@mad4mymini]

Classic BRWM video...... great commentary, power overlays, classic cars, poor timekeeping and a nose bleed. All it was missing was a post ride cinnamon bun👍💪😃

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

😊 absolutely Dominic 💯 - all the ingredients were there! And how remis not to film the post ride carbs - I did indeed consume an M&S Iced Spiced Bun and a bit of other local bakery 😋. Thats e-type was literally immaculate 👌. Really appreciate your super kind suppoer 🙏

[@mad4mymini]

@@BikeRacingWithoutMercy glad the Wilier is back in action!!

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

@@mad4mymini it’s been a long time coming Dominic 😊. I’ll provide a review after a few more hard efforts 👍

[@iancarson8614]

and the jersey matches the frame. details phil, details!

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

Glad you like the little details Ian🙏 - was a bit of fun to coordinate me with the Wilier 👌. I have a new Jersey to showcase with it soon😊

[@carloschiesaro3265]

Great video Phil and nice pace on the climb indeed. It’s a shame they can’t close a countryside single lane to cars for a couple of hours during the race. When you crossed that red car at the top I thought it was going to hit you. Keep going - epic times for east Londoners 😉

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

That’s really good of you to say so Carlo 🙏 - I don’t think the Cycling Time Trials organisation is able to close the road for most TT or Hill Climb events - but generally the drivers take it very carefully - and there are lots of warning signs. And indeed a bumpy time for those of us in SE & E London .... stay healthy 🤞👍

[@SILVERSNOWMAN72]

Fantastic Phill....did I get a glimpse of the Cento?? 🤔🤔🤔🤔

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

Thanks Wayne 🙏 - was a great day out 👌. You did indeed see the Wilier Zero SLR back on the deck after 5months... I’ll complete a few more hard trainings on it and then provide a little review 👍

[@Spikey_Mikey]

Was the nose bleed from not crashing the Willier 😁 it the modern day E type🚘were all looking forward to seeing more of it 👍

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

😂Michael - the body was so surprised to remain upright it organised the nose bleed 🤪. And fear not - I’ll provide a more detailed review of the Wilier once I’ve had a few more hard trainings on it 👍

[@ryanisserow7521]

Great video as always Phil, pity you got a two minute penalty but it was very nice of them to still allow you to race. The bike and the kit combo looked amazing👍

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

Thanks Ryan 🙏 - and agreed it was really good of Farnham Road Cycling Club to let me take part having missed my time 💯😊. I’m gradually compiling a full review of the new bike and wheels 👌

[@KelvinNewman]

Great effort Phil and even better video! So you gonna go to Nationals next year? I'm gonna go for it

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

Thanks Kelvin - really appreciate that 🙏. If I’m more powerful I’ll consider it 💯. Great goal - and something for us to work towards 💪. Hope you enjoyed your club ride today 👍

[@zaahierstanley955]

Sorry to hear about the nose bleed. Awesome stats for the 4mins Champ! That was a nasty penalty... Big difference between Prince Col and Prince Willier? Enjoyed the real life content I have to say

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

Cheers Zaahier 🙏 And much appreciated - was the longest I’ve held 400W average for! The nose bleeds seem to happen during a change of season - but didn’t impact on the power for the event. The Wilier zero SLR is really wonderful. I’m getting in a few hard efforts on it so as to compile my thoughts for a review of the bike and set up. So pleased you like this real life content - I love making it too! 💯🙏

[@zaahierstanley955]

@@BikeRacingWithoutMercy congrats on the new PB for the 400 watts ... probably on the 20mins you would have increased as well. Have a fabulous week ahead and looking forwards as always

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

@@zaahierstanley955 Cheers Zaahier - currently my 20min power is stuck in the 295-305 range, but the shorter power has come up a fair bit. I think that when I go back to training the 20-30min efforts they will bump up a bit though. Hope your recovery starts to progress well 🤞👍

[@zaahierstanley955]

@@BikeRacingWithoutMercy hope you get to drag up the 300 soon. Perhaps threshold 105% watts x 3 to 5 once a week at 90 to 75rpm on hills and 85rpm on flats for 3 to 4 weeks and 6 x 3min or 3 x 3 x3) at 120% once a week will drag it up quickly over that period... My recovery will be slow it seems and I am mostly likely out of it for 6 to 8 weeks - sadly disappointed. If you ftp goes up it will make your zwift racing much more comfortable I could assume and should leave you with a bigger reserve in the last part. With you efforts and determination once could easily see you in at 350 watts over 3 to 5 months with gains of of around 2% to 5% on each block. You should be getting some gains on watts every block regularly during training for at least 4 to 8 months of the year in your phase hopefully. * Just a thought. Sorry for being suggestive ...

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

@@zaahierstanley955 Hopefully your recovery will be steady and sure, Zaahier 💪. And yes - I’ll be aiming to increase the calamities a little and let the weight come back up 1-2kg. Much of my 20-30min power progression has been in terms of W/kg over recent months - and also the 2-5min power. Will be interesting to see what Ed suggests - but I think that things like your 10mins at 105% will be back on the agenda. He had me do a sprint into 3 x 7mins @ 105% the other day💪

[@iancarson8614]

the Willier????

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

😁Ian - yes it’s back after 5months!! Loving it - and will provide a review once I’ve completed a few more hard training sessions on it👍

[@canningsimon]

Harsh time penalty. But that's cycling right? On that note, from a self confessed "punk roadie "; what is the rationale behind leg shaving? How do you guys get to be so damn light weight? Highly entertaining start. Thought it was only me that had mind blanks; man stood in country lane with ladder?? Great content for someone fascinated by the physiology and psychology of cycling, but who really struggles on a bike.

[@BikeRacingWithoutMercy]

Thanks Simon ! And indeed it is - there’s no mercy in cycling 😁. I’ve only been cycling 2 years - but as an ex natural body builder , enthusiastically adopted the leg shaving 😂. I reckon it makes nil difference to someone like me who is not able to lay down the power in a TT aero position - but maybe there’s a marginal gain for someone better! Mind blanks and unnecessary chaos are my speciality BTW. What element of the cycling do you struggle with?
