LA Sucks For Cycling - South Bay: Cookie Monster VS Donut Ride and Switchbacks KOM

[@Channel2AlexHoch]

The speed you pass everyone else at actually makes me laugh. You're a (cookie) monster, dude !

[@Marc-iv8pk]

Alex Hoch it blows my mind how he’s chilling on the saddle. Spinning. In the zone. Half way thru a kom. And people get out of the saddle. Full effort. Sprint. Get gassed. And he blows past them. It just shows you how good you need to be to be top level. Amazing . Even though he’s retired. Maybe this is why cookies are better 😎

[@zekehorton8545]

@@the.communist Probably notttt. If he was doping he would be even more of a (cookie) monster! Also, his whole thing is to steal koms from dopers....

[@JTMarlin8]

@@the.communist What a shitty comment from a shitty person. Please kick your own ass.

[@gtolsdorf]

9:28 where you jump 140 Watts at the sight of someone cheering you on was a solid repayment for their enthusiasm.

[@CycoWarriorx]

I see Phil riding up these hills as fast as he does (I still wake up in a cold sweat after seeing his avg speed up GMR) and I’m convinced, it’s not the cookies. Phil is actually Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. The cookies are his cover. 😆

[@JP-om3ou]

8:21 Blown to pieces...

[@MrSmoothasf]

I can hold 400 Watts for exactly 1 minute no longer..... Phil just smashed 500+ for this entire video. Absolute machine.

[@tanhawk37]

That tune was really uplifting for the final minute of the climb! In my head I was like “Yeah Phil!” Haha

[@salem4life4]

I live at the bottom of this climb and do it 4 days a week.. I’m completely shook rn lol

[@MaxRothFitness]

let me live w you

[@macolganjames3356]

Another notch in the belt Phil . You could imagine the riders thoughts as they grind up that hill and see you hyperdrive past them ! Another great vlog.

[@brendavane9148]

Great to see all the support that you had on the ride.

[@sgbryant1962]

That was truly amazing ! 19mph Uphill. I can barely do that on a flat. Ok I’m 57 now too. Great job

[@brewce69]

I imagine everyone that disliked this video are donut shop owners.

[@markconnelly1806]

Energy bar too

[@paulwilliams7700]

Great vid!!! Love the reactions of the people you are passing!!! Been there getting dropped or passed like I am standing still so I totally feel their pain........

[@JohnnyGreenroom]

The people at the start of the climb must have thought 'oh my god its cookie flash!'

[@usccharles]

Dude I live in Korea now but you just covered my hometown. Thank you 🙏

[@eecak1973]

I'm convinced Phil is getting faster.

[@roadglide]

Congrats again Phil. You are the Matthieu van der Poel slaying it, except it never gets boring seeing you consistently crush KOMs around the country growing that palmares.

[@28Jcarlo]

Silky smooth pedaling! Power delivered equally throughout the climb amazing machine

[@ohnezuckerohnefett]

I counted eight destroyed egos in just 25 seconds. Well done, Phil, well done... ;)

[@67daltonknox]

Try La Canada through Sunland. Loads of hills, quiet streets. If you want the mountains, forget the Angeles Crest, it's too dangerous. Try Big Tujunga Canyon or Mt Emma Road - much quieter.

[@bradsburgess4806]

I swear Phil,can still make it in the Pro Peloton.,Beast.👍

[@worstretirementever]

Riding bikes on KZbin with folks like Seth and Joann and their club > pro racing 😘

[@robertmills6772]

If I was driving behind him, it surely wouldn't be in anger. Rather, it'd be in awe.

[@woolfel]

I grew up around the southbay in Torrance. I know those hills. PV is a great place to do hill repeats

[@cyclejockey4397]

Keep these vlogs coming Phil. Good stuff !

[@spin2win721]

Hey Phil do you have any tips on any other workouts to help supplement your cycling?

[@beeble2003]

3:35 Waiting so you don't drop the follow car. This must be the FKOM.

[@kevinneon1808]

Looked like you were going downhill and it was 4% to 8% grade. For one day I would like to glide uphill on the asphalt like you .

[@michaelb1761]

Phil needs to challenge Emma Pooley's hour long climb record, 1,275 M. She reportedly averaged 231 watts over the hour, and she couldn't weigh more than 50 kg. Oh yeah, and she was disappointed in her effort; she thought that she would do 1,400 M in an hour.

[@michaltoman2805]

That was her first try, and she paced it badly, as she said. Also, it was a really hot weather for that. I am sure she can go higher than that. The problem is finding a good climb for it.

[@michaelb1761]

@@michaltoman2805 I didn't mean to sound critical. 230 w for one hour at her weight is crazy good. Your right, if she tried again and paced better, she could probably reach her goal of 1400 m in an an hour.

[@dmv4554]

Phil love the vids. The best ones are with your commentary and interviews as opposed to on board footage with power overlay

[@robertmills6772]

And The Bike Palace is a GREAT shop!

[@doddsalfa]

This is a phenomenal cardio output

[@bkmontgomery]

Watching you smash the local climbs... I dig it.

[@GuyMcArthur]

Hey Phil, does TommyD pick your music? Joking... it is an improvement!

[@0rbitingUranus]

LOL The dude @7:58 is like "Oh fuck no, this dude is not dropping me." Then @8:03 "SHIT." Then @8:09 "Okay well let's see how long I can hold this wheel." Then @8:16 "Fuuuuck." Then @8:18 (on the inside) "People are watching, you pussy." Then finally @8:22 "Nope."

[@ricric9521]

Funny. I see those guys all the time.

[@s.r.michener4870]

No mention of the weekly Montrose Ride - draws waaay more racers and it's been around for nearly 45 years.

[@worstretirementever]

I live near there and that ride sketches me out. Too many red lights getting run

[@Maverick5588]

500 watts. God damn

[@raphaeltiziani7476]

Incredible.. My 5 min power is only 360 watts.. And think about it he is only a retired pro. A froome or nibali at its best would hit even 550-600 watts for 5 min

[@dylandesaer4947]

Tim Wellens from Lotto Soudal 10min's 513W - 71kg

[@michaltoman2805]

Basically, average person rides the same speed as Phil's speedometer shows, but in kilometers per hour :D

[@Bluesman2509]

I actually seriously doubt that Pantani could keep up with Phil on a shorter climb..

[@danielebasile3957]

Ahahah you made my day

[@ponderingfox]

Love the supoort out on the climb for the KOM.

[@beeble2003]

6:30 . It's OK -- Phil's on a fast bike.

[@geoffreyanderson4719]

You ride like Lance: 110+ cadence, massive speed, crazy watts / kg, yes, yes. Well done!

[@davidspagnolo4870]

He rides more like Froome than Lance

[@dingonursery]

You should everest for one of these episodes. It'd be cool to see how fast you could do it

[@stevepedersen45]

Your the best bro! Love your videos!
