Austin, Texas - No Kid Hungry Veloguide Sho-Air Strava Van Tour - Worst Retirement Ever

[@ScottieWM86]

For people that don’t know, this was before he got hurt. He’s still recovering.

[@GelMibson-u2y]

One very famous former world tour rider who shall not be named lives in Austin too.

[@stuartdryer1352]

I live in Houston and I always amazed at how much better the cycling is in Austin.

[@worstretirementever]

Really cool community there

[@cyclingfan1981]

That's correct 😎✌️

[@SurpriseMeJT]

I'm from Houston and cycled there for over 20 years. Leaving Houston was one of the best decisions I ever made and now I ride so much more.

[@stuartdryer1352]

@@SurpriseMeJT I ride a lot. I get bored with the handful of safe routes I can get to without packing the bike on my car and driving a long way. Austin just has more to offer. But Houston has better food.

[@SurpriseMeJT]

@@stuartdryer1352 Yup, been there done that! I think Houston has better Asian food, and it's getting better but I think the availability of healthy and more creative foods exist in Austin. Austin is getting over crowded now though. I'm in Europe now and both food and cycling is better than both. :)

[@hedleykerr3564]

Phil I'm watching this at midnight and you started talking about the different cookies and now my addiction kicked in and I'm on my way to the Cookie store! Thanks Phil(LOL)! Great job in Austin, hope your healing nicely!

[@richardroot9164]

Thanks for sharing Phil, hope your feeling better man. Grats on the Kom

[@celyda2]

Duck face. Laughed my ass off. I needed that so bad. And Phil is freeking hilarious throughout. And the kit. I'm only halfway through the video and it's already pretty much my favorite.

[@bobwells1517]

Austin looks like a pretty cool place to ride a bike. I'm partial to your Phoenix stop (duh), but this was a really well-done video. Best wishes on your recovery, Phil!

[@alanhill7965]

Nothing better than getting home from a bike ride coffee and cookie at the ready and a great Phil Video to enjoy !

[@worstretirementever]

Live it up!

[@trumptman]

Looked like great people and a fantastic location.

[@johnmastronardi]

I’m guessing you didn’t swing by mellow johnnys

[@prestachuck2867]

He wanted to stop by a bicycle shop, not a yuppie meat market. LOL

[@TheresaHanssen]

johnmastronardi 😅

[@rudyelizondo1935]

Cool video guys, I live in katy and always have fun when I go to Austin

[@prestachuck2867]

Chocolate chip cookies from Tiff's is one of the first local delicacies that I was introduced to when I moved to Austin. Good stuff.

[@ellejay4497]

Tiff's Treats are pretty darn good--and they are delivered warm and gooey.

[@adamgriss2025]

Great video, Phil. You just did what the Travel Channel and all those travel shows couldn't do... make me want to visit Austin, Texas. As a Canadian, I have a natural disdain for all things American (except for Vermont or Florida hahaha). I hope your recovery is going better than you expect.

[@JPspinFPV]

Content is getting better all the time, Phil. Keep at it.

[@jayshockey5461]

Great stuff Phil! Man, I hope you are doing okay?💪🏻💪🏻 wishing you all the best! 🙏🏻

[@jaspreetsidhu5708]

One of your best videos so far, hopefully we actually get some videos of you riding post injury :).

[@thatsnumberwang7432]

Oh I thought until halfway that you'd filmed this after the crash. Get well soon Phil and get out there asap🙏🚴

[@jeffreythree]

Phil's new marginal gain, eating helium balloons to offset rider weight.

[@JohnnyGreenroom]

Thanks for giving us great video's Phil, this channel is epic. I keep watching the tour and just praying for a cookie to blast past yates, maybe when your better ;) Did i hear right 3km at 25%?? I do approx 50 meters at 25% on my commute and spend the next 30 minutes recovering!

[@albr4]

I keep thinking that the bands on Phil's jersey and shorts are crazy tan lines

[@BrotherlyLove12]

the honking lol

[@prestachuck2867]

Yes, even Austin has road raging knuckleheads.

[@Fabricetdf]

Thanks!

[@MartinTorres-eo2tz]

Great video 👍🏻🚴🏻‍♂️

[@billincolumbia]

Only in Austin can one be that skinny and pale, and not turn heads at the swimmin' hole. :) Great vid, Phil. I do love a taco or four and a nice beer. And Quacks is always a great pace to hang out.

[@milesmacgregor6938]

Loved this video. I saw you at the driveway series it was really cool!!

[@Myles995]

Have you ever rode "Hotter n Hell 100" in Wichita Falls Texas? That would be really cool to have you there!

[@garrettlandon]

This video is fantastic. You made me want to visit Austin. Well done 🍻

[@TheWhimsicalWoodworker]

Best one yet!

[@SILVERSNOWMAN72]

great video.....cheers Phil. Get well soon.

[@georgehsu1085]

I bet someone played to cruel joke of not telling Phil the water at Barton Springs is 69F year round. It's COLD!

[@julianallen515]

Austin looks a pretty cool place to go riding. Love the toque, dude. Where can I get one ;-)

[@comcatcom8829]

Come to Bandung, Indonesia phil. We have strava segment race every tuesday

[@BanacaNation]

Tacos & Beer > Cookies, no hard feelings Phil.

[@johnfarr5415]

Well how cool was that? You were like a mile from my mother's house (she lives on the bluff overlooking LCCC) and I've been on that road dozens of times. Hmm...she didn't tell me about the cookies though, I'll have to try some my next Austin visit.

[@scottcottontx]

Nice to see that Ian can be awkward no matter who he's talking to.

[@Enigma71559]

Haha. Yeah. He looks uncomfortable and unnatural just standing there looking in the camera.

[@lottagall_1423]

Favorite part was about the tacos

[@cameratool]

Not enough driveway B-roll?

[@paxundpeace9970]

Nail down Worst retirement ever in the title

[@ticklefritz5406]

Good times, fun video Phil. Music was a tad cheesy for sure

[@kyletabor636]

Driveway races still happening? Coming to Austin w my RV and bike third week of May and would love to check it out

[@luannedimaggio7025]

Fun in the south. Love it.

[@floderNYC]

So not only Lawson Craddock talks like that, it's an Austin thing? :)

[@kc3718]

Dude can you link the strava KOM's in the description please , as searching for them on actual strava is pretty broken ? Cheers good luck with everything !

[@cycling991]

Thanks for coming to Austin!

[@SurpriseMeJT]

You should have met up with Kevin Livingston, former team mate of *blank* who trains cyclist in that bike shop owned by that one guy that we can't talk about. Also, Lance Armstrong lives in Austin.

[@mindfulbroker]

I see you mention a promo code for the HVMN ketone esters, when and how do you take them ?

[@worstretirementever]

See the Letras video, but once at the beginning and again after 2 hrs

[@rostuchicken]

How could you call oatmeal raisin cookies a flaw. Crazy.

[@vedhed21]

Blocked and reported for abuse

[@TDF86]

Jesus Christ, Phil. It’s a good thing you’re one of my favorite cyclists ‘cause your jump-into-this-lake game is weak.

[@jacobcooper4513]

Phil, I'm sorry but that cannon ball was absolute trash

[@worstretirementever]

I’ll stick to bikes

[@paigezizka65]

My teammate is that 16 year old (actually is 15). Also we do Jester repeats and that is an ultimate suffer fest..

[@rich.trails]

Lawson was not having this, took the KOM on Lost Creek a few days ago.

[@TheresaHanssen]

I love oatmeal raisin!!

[@Joel121612]

The kid was 14 not 16, he's a beast

[@jasperrenema]

Wow, you are quicker on the bike than Froome

[@reefermadness184]

I can see by Phil's mood that CBD may have some special effects :-)

[@noahn]

Yes

[@AB-fh9zh]

It's all fun and games untill someone almost tricks you into eating raisins.

[@nollm23]

Mellow Johnny’s!

[@cmcclo1]

Where Lance?

[@JackMott]

Haha, I know all of these people.

[@FranciscoElNeneGalan]

What happened to Phil?

[@Two-StrokeLife]

Might be a controversial comment but it appears you're getting a lot of "car love" IDK maybe it's the editing. So is riding a second or two off the back of a car, in the middle of the road, after a lead out a legit KOM? If so I'm going to get my buddies to "film me" (aka drive a uhaul van in front of me) on the next KOM I'm going for.

[@worstretirementever]

That wasn’t the actual take

[@Two-StrokeLife]

@@worstretirementever I'll take you at your word but the editing of you behind the lead out/camera car @ 12:52, in the road behind the camera car @ 13:07 / 13:17 and the conversation with the lead out man makes it look sketch. Hope your recovery is going well and I do really enjoy your videos it's just this one raised an eyebrow or two.

[@FloBikes]

@@Two-StrokeLife Attempt that got the KOM is in the extended cut on FloBikes.

[@prestachuck2867]

I'm pretty sure that a lot of the KOMs on Strava are set during fast paced group rides a.k.a drafting most of the way then attacking near the top. Not most of the pros though, and certainly not Phil's. It's one of the reasons I enjoy watching this series. He displays what is possible for a gifted athlete to do entirely on his own and documents so much of it so well. And his comedic timing is usually great as well. Migas...LOL

[@Two-StrokeLife]

@@prestachuck2867 Like I stated to Phil, I take him at his word. But to address your argument presta...even if that is the case you can see it on strava, as long as there is other riders in the group using strava. Group ride kom's are also fairly accepted (although not as respected as solo efforts) because they are group rides, not intentional pacing/lead outs. Even if they where intentional you would have to gather a group of rather fast guys/gals to pace and lead you out on bicycles which is way different than having some random person drive a car or truck in front to pace/draft off. Cheers

[@HappyPhace]

Lance is from Texas

[@worstretirementever]

Haha who?

[@chrisriley557]

@@worstretirementever that's the guy that landed on the moon right?

Did you meet Lance?

[@rich.trails]

I think he moved to Aspen

[@AndresGarcia-hu8ij]

Stupid people: HAHAHA they're not called 'mihas', they're 'migas' Also stupid people: i'll take the 'all past-ohr"

[@billincolumbia]

Noticed that too. I don't understand how people can live in Texas but still murder simple Spanish pronunciation. But that's Austin for you.

[@Dennis4523]

I really hope he doesn’t come to bowling green Kentucky my whole community would be fucked

[@ketjuariittaa]

1question: If you ride all nice cenary looking next rider rearwheel and then go hotel eating lousy dinner. Most of those races were in Europe. Why don’t you then cruice around here? #rideniceeatnice
