Chris Froome Says I'm Crazy! EVERESTING TRAINING RIDE IN BEVERLY HILLS. 20,000 FT/6000 M of Climbing

[@keiyumamiya8920]

No way! Chris Froome got to ride with Phil Gaimon. So lucky to ride with a climber as good as Phil.

[@carlosgaspar8447]

different ends of the pack. yes, it's called pack phil.

[@ponderingfox]

I know! Froome got to ride with the most popular cyclist in the world. He should be proud.

[@suisinghoraceho2403]

Is Froome ride Factor already?

[@bikedawg]

Who's got a CLEAN tattoo, raise their hand?

[@santiagobenites]

Glad to see that you kept the Froome cameo to a minimum. You're a total class act, and we love and respect you for it.

[@goomaboi]

minus the fact that he used his name in the title for click bait, totally.

[@Big_M_T]

I can’t quite decide who you are the ambassador for, in no particular order: riding in LA, Everesting, Strava, cookies, coffee, or retirement. You represent them all so well. My favorite is the cycling in LA (and surrounding areas) ambassador. The weather looks amazing and it just looks like unlimited fun riding. Keep up the great work!

[@mikejames172]

Phil is an ambassador for Factor bikes - one of the best top tier bikes in the world !

[@zachf9853]

What about biking?

[@vivianvandermerwe1380]

Chris is very approachable from what I've heard, never met him in person but a few riders I know have met him while out riding here in South Africa and struck up a conversation with him

[@adamweb]

I'm training like Phil... Well, mostly the cookies and pizza part.

[@rafaelgodoy3703]

that's the important part

[@cjstudios5170]

The breakfast, lunch and dinner of champions!

Eating like a pro!

[@kishascape]

@@rafaelgodoy3703 true, it’s goo energy. Lots of carbs. Just make sure you digest the pizza first. Riding with a full stomach while grinding and trying not to throw up all over the bike is miserable.

At least from the perspective of a crazy person.

Legend Chris Froome. Hope he finds form for next years tour. I think he still have lots left in the tank.

Thank you for educating about hr separation and giving us viewers insight into ur hr and wattage. Made it fun to jump on the trainer tonight and see what my hr was at 300 watts. You rock, dude! Glad ur having the worst retirement ever!

[@mggailitis7231]

"Not like other KZbinrs." Nice one. Subtle, yet effective. My only wish is that I had popcorn at the ready.

[@thesimplecooks]

Nice to see that even Phil has to deal with weird bike creaks when he's climbing. Shines some humility on him!

[@martinanderson1737]

Awesome that Froomey dropped in to say hi!

[@PumpkinVillage]

Nice ride. Good luck with your Everesting. Nice fly by with Froome. Take care, Al

[@temporalsoliton]

Nice. I've run into G a few times on the hills in Malibu too. I say run into, I mean dropped handily.

[@ErikTheElectric]

Papa Johns & Garlic Sauce? I knew you had taste. Props on the 20k bro!

[@emmanuelgarcia454]

Other runaway ramp might be coming down Angeles Crest Highway, the straight away before hitting Foothill Blvd.

[@justinossa7349]

Great little video!

[@greghilliard7641]

I met Chris and Geraint on. Flight to SA. Agree, both super nice and totally chilled and no hassle at all with letting me take a selfie. Liking this channel !

[@djconnel]

Super-impressive. I thought like the dog which barks a bit too long before chasing the accelerating car, the Everest record had maybe gotten out of reach. Whether that's true or not, I'm glad to hear you're going for a PR if not a WR. I simply cannot believe you can hold 300W for that long, but the AP at the end doesn't lie.

[@rontolentino2535]

Hawthorne Blvd in Palos Verdes has an Escape Lane.

[@josephalbanese1393]

AWESOME!!! FROOMY!! GREAT VIDEO!! IM YELLING WITH EXCITEMENT!!!

[@edwindeuning2922]

Cool to see Froome in L.A. I guess when G was here, he recommended training in SoCal?

[@desertpoj]

I was just telling a work colleague (in the U.K.) today that North of LA is the best cycle training place in the world. He didn’t believe me. If it’s good enough for Phil, and some Brit called Chris, then that’s good enough for me!

[@juliandiazromero4101]

Phil the Thrill? More like Phil the Chill while riding over 300 w for 20k feet elevation! Hope you smash that record out of the park!

[@wantsomegreen4677]

Man's didn't even look like he broke a sweat. Absolute beast!

[@davewyman]

Awesome I can barely make it up Loma Vista once! There are a lot of steep, but not as long, roads all around Loma Vista, in Beverly Hills and West Hollywood.

[@zbqb84a]

Awesome video, loved seeing Froomey. Watching this makes me so jealous... after having my 3rd heart ablation this summer, the doctor wants me to limit rides to 1 hour. Looking at big hills depresses me. Have fun!

[@keithc5729]

Truck ramp. Hawthorne Blvd. in Palos Verdes. North bound, maybe 2. Palos Verdes has the best hills close to my house. Phil has some of the KOMs.

[@noahthomas77]

There’s a truck runaway thingy on Hawthorne blvd in Palos Verdes!

[@jameswhitehead6758]

There are two more. One at the bottom of Kanan Dume in Malibu and the other at the bottom of ACH in Montrose/La Canada Flintridge.

[@larrytanzo4761]

Wow! So cool you had Froome in the vid. 2 very cool dudes!!

[@Moving_Chicane]

That was a solid YT video Phil - great job! Fun!!!

[@77hodag]

Phil, you and Froome both had major crashes on the same week in June, 2019 - I know this because I crashed the same week & fractured my pelvis. It was surreal laying in the hospital & seeing you & Froomey in the same boat - misery loves company😭

[@mattclarke1838]

You're a great cyclist, a good man and I thoroughly enjoy your channel. Thanks

[@Flying90]

It's so awesome to see that you have a youtube channel! I just finished your book Pro Cycling on $10 a day and then the next thing I know your channel is recommended to me!

[@andresmurillo2546]

Hawthorne Blvd North and Crenshaw Blvd North coming down from Palos Verdes, CA have runaway ramps

[@trainwellracewell]

If I’m ever in that area, would love to give the running KOM a shot. 12% is my kind of climb

[@brad5282]

I bet if you post a 15 minute video of Creature sleeping it will be your most popular video ever because KZbin.

[@AB-fh9zh]

Actually feel kinda ripped off he cut that out.

[@Zwiesel66]

True, I was very disappointed that the 15min was missing - I like this cute dog 😊

[@dumbleduke4225]

I don’t know much about Everesting just randomly stumbled across this channel but it’s amazing the punishing the human body can handle. No idea how you train around normal life type things props to ya!

[@paulmitche11]

There’s one of those at the base of the Crest. Like two turns above Foothill, before it goes straight.

[@db613]

Froome's between jobs can do and say what he wants now 🤣, but truly always a gentleman

Cool vid phil played the froomey part well now awkward as only a quick snap. The world waits this everesting attempt.

[@davidvonslingshot]

[@beauscrate]

Love ya Phil! Keep it up...you make these Utah winters much better.

[@wonderfulworldofWoody]

Good ride! I rode Mt Baldy from the bottom 3 times one day, 4,985m of climbing and I was done. Not bad for a tourist though...

[@Mxrobius]

Never ever thought I would see you guys together lol. What a DUO!

[@Mrsk8park]

Great video, Phil! Missed getting 411 on more of the beautiful houses (save Gray Stone) you were riding by, any celebs in the hood? Again, great job!

[@billincolumbia]

Yeah, not to be that guy, but there is something going on with your spokes or something. Amazing ride. So fun to see Froome for a bit. And Creature sleeping. :)

[@gamby16a]

The Froomey pop-in was great, but dammit if this wasn't my favorite unintentional architecture tour you've given to date! I'm familiar with the area because of Million Dollar Listing LA (embarrassed to admit) and it modernist heaven around there. I'm transfixed on the backdrop! Oh--and you sure in hell earned that pizza.

Im booked to come to LA to go for a 2 day ride, but isn't all of LA in stay-at-home lockdown? Outside riding is that allowed in other areas?

[@worstretirementever]

Travel is not allowed but outdoor exercise is if you can be distanced. Restaurants etc all take out. I’d postpone if you can. You’ll enjoy it more when you can experience the city a bit. If you go, def get takeout from Nerano, baltaire, pas joli, or hatchet hall

[@db613]

Heart rate separation - not heard it called this before but I definitely used to see this! Especially running. Much much sooner than a good athlete would see it. Also did La Marmotte Sportive four times as my 'main event' for the year and that's maybe 17,000 feet... ouch.

[@donbushek]

What is heart rate separation usually called? I want to find out more about it.

[@bonn1771]

nice work

[@greghilliard7641]

One question around travelling with your bike. What kit do you use to pack it up and how do you do it please? Got a race in Aug in Finland and I live in the UK !

[@autarko]

Really the only way to be sure for plane trips is to use a hard case. It doesn't matter how you prep and label it, the baggage handlers can always throw it on its side and pile heavy things on top of it. I have been 8 times around the world with bikes. A cheaper solution is to use a bike box with careful packing.

[@1114gabby]

Froomie nice cameo for sure!

[@vivekh7662]

Other Runaway Truck Ramp is at the bottom of Angeles Crest

[@walthansen6333]

Wow, Chris Froome in Calif., Very cool. Point him up to NorCal :-)

[@koho]

The most amazing Everesting feat I've seen is Macky's climbs that topped out at over 12,000 ft. Has there been a more difficult one?

[@johnsilverstein9862]

You should do a video on the re-measurement of mt Everest!

[@bossthefluff]

I would suggest a small correction. Your comment should read "Every time you see a G Wagon in L.A. you must say Gwagon." I live in Dubai, and I would barely be able to have time breathing for spouting Gwagen every two seconds while I'm out riding. Maybe it'll work if I limit myself to saying Gwagen when I see a Brabus edition Gwagen I'll be fine.

Truck runaway ramp in Malibu is Kanan road.
