@@JoyJasonRides registered.. You guys in this year?

[@JoyJasonRides]

Unfortunately not this year 😞 we’re starting our training block for Greylock hill climb tt.

Fantastic ride. You both seem to be aware of your requirements on the different sections and absolutely nailed the last climb, well done to you both.

[@JoyJasonRides]

Thank you Wheelers! That last climb was brutal especially with the sun beating down on you. No shame in walking it, but we were determined to keep pedaling.

Nice job 💪 the last hill 😢 crazy

Thanks Edward! You have to check this out next year!

Great ride and team. effort! Devil's Kitchen looks like a killer. I've done Greylock 2x from the South side, which one do you think is harder? That sustained 10% looks worse on Devil's. Good move on the gearing I'll bet. I switched to an 11/34 a few years ago as I got older and it keeps me in the game on the climbs. Really good job putting the video together as well - fun to watch.

[@JoyJasonRides]

Devil’s Kitchen is definitely harder in terms of steepness. Either side of Greylock doesn’t get to those grades. But if you’re talking distance- Greylock is a very slow death especially the north side. Speaking of which, we’re doing the time trial up Greylock on the 9th! Thank you always for enjoying the videos!

I just found you channel a couple of weeks ago and I’m thoroughly enjoying your content. Watching your videos has really given me incentive to train for some races. I am a runner but started riding a year ago. Since I’m new to this I’m still learning. What do you guys use to monitor your power wattage in real time?

[@JoyJasonRides]

Thank @rug212 for watching our videos! I’m glad it’s helping to motivate you- that’s really what we want to help others with. On our road bikes we have the Favero Assioma Duo pedals each. They’re pretty pricey but we’ve had them for years now with no issues. On our gravel bikes we have the SRAM rival single sided pm.
