NOW WITH DATA OVERLAY: Worst Retirement Ever Special Feature - Rendezvous LA

[@fastk9dad]

Freaking awesome overlay... well done Vegan Cyclist. I'm out of breath at half those watts in half that time... incredible effort.

[@TheVCAdventures]

SO PUMPED to be apart of your journey bro! Would love to hear what people have to say, what other metrics would you want to see?

[@0rbitingUranus]

These are great, Tyler! Thought I had commented on this before but I guess not. I'd personally love to see HR overlay, and....what would be REALLY sick is if there was also gear selection overlay. Obviously that can't be done with mechanical groupsets, but surely it's possible with electronic, right?!

[@johnbailey520]

Vegan Cyclist Bruh! Amazing effort, now I need to recover.

[@paladin61368]

Really reminds me of a Vegan Cyclist edit. Which is a good thing. VC has probably the best quality videos out there.

[@plain-bagel]

Check out Francis Cade. He's the best imo

[@WillCheang]

Vegan cyclist now on the program #bruh

[@SteveDinnCom]

I could tell immediately from the soundtrack that that VC had a hand in this.

[@TheVCAdventures]

I was sitting in bed when I got a text from Phil about smashing an edit for him. UHHHH YES PLEASE!

[@mattnugy]

Amazing work as usual ... VC edits are easily among the best on the web. I could tell in the first 5 seconds!

[@pablocastanon9641]

Damn, even ex pros will blast through stop signs for a KOM lol. Nothing but Love Phil do your thang!!

[@cory1newton]

Looks like my messages to VC and PG worked! J/K I'm sure other people wanted to see the same partnership. Thanks boys for the overlays!

[@worstretirementever]

Will start using HR again for some of these. I just hate wearing that damn strap

[@nagev7239]

#VeganCookies dude... you should get Lenny & Larry's Complete Cookie to sponsor your next G-fondo haha

[@ChuckFM]

I have a spare scosche rhythm plus. It's free to you and supports ANT+ and BTLE, it's an optical sensor worn on the forearm or right above the elbow. LMK

[@drsus0]

why not one of the trick garmins with wrist HR? i know its not as accurate but if it annoys less why not

[@nagev7239]

@Phil please submit your Resume to NBC... Christian Vande Velde's commentary is so #CRINGE we (the audience) are in desperate need of quality improvement or I will be forced to VPN over to Eurosport...

[@GordonMoat]

Scosche Rhythm+ heart rate monitor can be worn on the upper arm or forearm. I've been using one for half a year, and it's very comfortable.

[@zzabitibi]

jesus christ the wattage....

[@YeeFeng]

YESSSSS!!! Thank you for adding the data!!!

[@FrancisSpecker]

I would so hear the Cookie Monsters comments in a voice over. Thanks for the overlays.

[@MikeBritton]

Nice work, Phil. Keep going.

[@TronaldDump-ym2wk]

At this pace, my heart rate would be equivalent to his power output!

[@FfejerooShore]

Gasp!!! I can't even fathom that effort!!!

[@woolfel]

thanks for the data overlay and now I'm gonna puke. I can't even do 400 watts for 3min let alone 9. last time I tried to get a local KOM I did 330W for 3min and I was gonna cough up a lung and kidney it hurt so bad.

[@Adamishere]

Thanks for putting this up.

[@tycharouhas3269]

Bad ass. Killer effort and thanks for videos

[@JonathanGreene]

damn dude. so much power for such a long haul! Thanks for sharing these! Keep 'em coming!

[@thecyclingguitarist2019]

Incredible effort, incredible overlays!

[@brettcameron1]

Kudos Phil. Would be nice to have some sort of intro for context. Like why this segment, who holds the KOM, any special bike set-up, etc.

[@basedrad]

I just can't grasp the the power + duration. FTP in the 420-430 range. I will think of this next time I can't finish a 3 minute jobber at 345W.

[@BobMorrisWI]

George Puskar same!

[@StealthElectronVIP]

How does one improve their duration? My top end power is pretty good I think. 15 second 1100w, 1 minute efforts around 600w and 3 min around 400w but my FTP is abysmal around 220w.

[@BrentPlumme]

Wow quite interesting. I'm on the other side of the spectrum. 1minute effort about 450W, 3minute around 330W, FTP is 310W.

[@Daniel-ng8fi]

there's no way thats possible. You can hold 310 for an hour but can't hold 20 watts more for longer than 3 minutes?

[@Phillyisalwayssunny]

What just happened? I did not know that was even remotely possible... eyes wide open now. More please

[@VegasCyclingFreak]

All I can say is WOW

[@shawnreddick9312]

I am amazed to see the speed, elevation %, wattage and statistics superimposed. This is really cool.

[@247MS1]

Love the overlay!

[@fernandojimenez503]

I just bumped into this one, and OMG!! this is both, absolutely awesome and totally depressing. I'm in awe at those power figures. Around 500W almost all the time. And here is an amateur that sweats it out on the trainer in the winter to improve, and still only an FTP roughly half of that figure. May be you should start pumping out videos about how to train more efficiently, there sure is a market :-P. Or how to recover quicker while staying clean!! Thanks for posting. Loved your books btw

[@ghpatriot]

As soon as I heard the music I was like is this TVC??? Love iT!

[@paulkaump8784]

Something doesn't add up. At the beginning of the ride, the existing KOM was said to be 9:57. At the finish, the time is 9:47, but the head-to-head icon indicates Phil was 23 seconds ahead. Perhaps a typo somewhere? Regardless, Phil showing what world class, non-doping rider, can achieve - remarkable!

[@dougphoto]

Those watts, amazing ride.

[@jesse8881]

VC does good editing. I'm going to the fridge to get my #bloodbags now. PG this is some next level crush factor.

[@MadAdventure919]

I am struggling to do 240w for 20 min, can't imaged 465w.. lol

[@drsus0]

holy finish batman!! your biggest gain came at the very end

[@gearathon]

Woaah soo cool!!👍

[@StephanieHughesDesign]

Awesome. I live locally and have done this climb and you would drop me in a second. I use Heart Rate and zones. Spin above 100 rpm with 50/34 and 32 or 34 on the back. Is that a Garmin overlay? Your wattage is almost double mine on average.

[@jasonlevitt]

That is one serious effort. Wow. Fucking solid.

[@wack_zeim]

Phil and VC! Sweet!

[@keithgordon702]

I can do that. In twice the time. Great vid.

[@keithgordon702]

BTW, I'm finishing up "on $10 a Day". Bought on a whim, but glad I did. Looking forward to getting your others.

[@marvin123o]

VeganCyclist style with that dope hip hop mix

[@alwaysup22]

I think this with commentary will make for future bad ass worst retirement ever... Think cookie monster should be in France though right now

[@allanonabike]

Before I read the description I was like 'huh...weird...thought I clicked on Phil's video not the VC's' Quality co-lab.

[@christopherkeosian4029]

Love the soundtrack. What are the songs?

[@Psyk078]

Q: How many cookies were needed to hold those watts? Thanks!

[@Scott64T]

Pretty cool.

[@BikeBodyMind]

wow... I can hold that power for about 1 minute.

[@LomTong]

I can't.. :(

[@BikeLife154]

I'm gonna give up cycling. watching this makes me realize how crap I am.

[@solano8725]

Beast Mode!

[@KurtVogel88]

Why does the Strava link go to Mark Shaw's ride from 2008

[@ivanmurdock7328]

Use an optical hr monitor - I never thought I minded the chest strap until I stopped wearing it

[@Balonishell]

Radical.

[@alanbullock1401]

Serious power

[@brisfocus3648]

I had to lycra up just to watch this video I started sweating so much!!

[@Driver8takeabreak]

How accurate were your cadence readings? I was surprised how much it bounced around (from 115 down to below 80). I would have guessed you'd be a little more even. Thanks for this.

[@EastbayGolfer]

Phil, does riding for a WCI team require this kind of continuos power output? I know this was a special 9 min effort but do the pros put out this kinda power for an entire climb? Or in a break?

[@fgabrieltomas]

how much are you out of your saddle

[@rudyardganuelas6254]

Hello Phil, Based on your choice of music I would like to ask a few questions: How many flat brim hats did you bring when you were in Yurup? What are your favourite vape flavors? When will you have a full sleeve tattoo completed? Congratulations on your ride by the way.

[@TheVCAdventures]

I told Phil people might not dig the tunes LOL. Hard to find good BG music that doesnt have a copyright on it.

[@johnhall298]

Ty, I literally had to double check to make sure I hadn't clicked on one of your new vids when the video first opened. Good edit. I think we'd all love to see more collaborations between you and Phil.

[@DerekWhiteRidesABike]

I actually like the music

[@brettoau84]

Strava link in the description is missing some numbers off the end, it goes to a different activity - www.strava.com/activities/925

[@thesigmaworkshop]

Where's the HR data?

[@marcox416]

yeah uhu Did you guys see that news story about a Greyhound trainer accused of giving dogs cocaine before race? theres a video

[@JeffreyThistle]

e-bike KOM? lol that's crazy

[@dznutslaboratories]

can you add heart rate data??? wow, Power is amazing!!!

[@jackbieterman5621]

Dude. Bro. Dawg. How many grams is this adding?

[@StealthElectronVIP]

465 average watts. Damn.

[@chrishildreth169]

my best effort on this climb is on my track bike on 90 inches. I'm due for an effort.

[@willbeirne7587]

I didn't see any stop signs...

[@darrenshu1]

What kind of gearing was used? 53-39 with a 11x25 cassette? This was thrilling to watch and enjoyable to compare with the data on Strava. www.strava.com/segments/4381644/compare/MjI2MDQ0NjMwNjksMjIxMTY1MzUxODc=

[@blackwatch_TV]

So sick..metrics galore

[@wrc1045]

I wish we had heart rate of a ex pro 😜. Maybe next time

[@thetheflyinghawaiian]

ouch

[@theBidon]

always bike with strava or it didn't happen

[@77hodag]

Now we know why you got paid to ride a bike!

[@flippingbikes8029]

trap trap trap trap trap trap

[@DeclanStevenson]

so your FTP is like 420?

[@PDarcy]

#thuglife

[@kevinbyrd6482]

ugh the "music" .More cookies , how about some recipes .

[@RonDonson]

Congrats, Phil! Awesome effort! Please spend a few $$$ though and license a decent soundtrack.

[@martinwestermeyergondonnea84]

vegan cyclist?

[@TheVCAdventures]

YUUUT! SO PUMPED to be apart of Phils Program in anyway.

[@MrJonnyb120]

loved the data overlay, hated the music and oh yeah Strava KOMs don't make you exempt from obeying traffic laws. even at 6am.
