Worst Retirement Ever - Bogus Basin - AKA Phil and Matteo's Bogus Journey - Boise, Idaho

This video was slightly out of order because I wanted to add an interview with Matteo Jorgenson which meant working around his race schedule. I'm sure you'll agree that he was worth the wait!

Somebody has to say it. Idaho grows 13 billion pounds of potatoes a year and is the nation’s top potato producer, ahead of Washington state at around 10 billion pounds. On the other hand, I’ve never come close to breaking an hour on that climb. Probably eat too many potatoes.

[@worstretirementever]

Listen I have no dog in this fight. That’s just what I was told

[@joshuamonteith6901]

I've been lied to my whole childhood thinking WA is the larger producer of potatoes. Might be adopted as well...

[@lockstockandcarol]

@@worstretirementever spoken like a true you 'tuber'

[@dmv4554]

I like the interview over the kom effort. Makes it more interesting thank just staring at power numbers

[@justthepip]

+1 to this. Kind of like a podcast with a more dynamic background.

[@shaunabrookshier5516]

OMG… my home town. I HATE that climb! At least until the Forest Svc Sign.

[@richcrompton6891]

Great, honest video. Loved the interview over the KOM attempt 😊

[@amanitamuscaria5284]

Something is really broken with audio on this vid.

[@worstretirementever]

Yeah we used a shotgun mic which picked up a lot of junk. Sorry. Lesson learned

[@faithmiller1437]

Shout out to Neckar Coffee!

[@deheckler]

Excellent!!!!

[@TarmacSkin]

We definitely can’t keep Californians out of ID… 🤣 Nice to have you here… Hope you enoout “world famous potatoes!”

[@aquilafhionnlaigh4490]

Phil, you came to Boise and no Kristen Armstrong on your channel? Whaaaats up with that?!!?

[@brasstinmancrazy]

There's nothing sweeter than taking a KOM back from a Pro who took it from you, knowing they could take it back at any time keeps things spicy...

[@petebenson5030]

Tour of Potato Valley 1975 (I think?). Prologue time trial. It was probably the lower part of it. There was a crit in an industrial park that afternoon where I had an awesome crash. The next day was a longer ride out in the valley.

[@sjpconnor]

"Famous Potatoes", but...famous for what? That's the key question.

[@kadealdrich914]

For being from Idaho

[@baribari600]

This is my favorite KOM attempt format.

[@cahal]

I think professional athletes should have separate leaderboards on strava...kinda wrecks it for 99% of the population. They already have a pro athlete designation on Strava in their profile, so this isn't impossible to implement.

[@worstretirementever]

This comment is very 2017

[@ryanauburn]

@@solarnewton yeah I'm waiting for Phil to come to Washington and do hurricane ridge, wonder if it has to do with Levi's time?

[@Driver8takeabreak]

Disagree. The top athletes want to know how they stack up against the top athletes.

[@cahal]

@@Driver8takeabreak is that not what competition is for? Not on a tool overwhelming used by amateurs the world over. I reckon they have a fair good idea about that anyway. I'd like to still be able to see their results...to see how us mortals compare. They are good for the platform and serve as inspiration...maybe section them off if possible :)

[@cahal]

@@worstretirementever that's the beginning of 'worst retirement ever'? 😅

[@AB-fh9zh]

Yup, worth the wait.

[@robertrepka1372]

Nice reminder of that "solos" glasses

[@worstretirementever]

Ha I disagree

[@AggroEntro]

hey i just started cycling 8 months ago, and im 34 now, u mentioned that we cant gain power after a certain age, so is there anything i could do to improve my max power? the best i could do now is a measely 850w, would like to bump that up

[@worstretirementever]

You can definitely gain power if you’re starting out!

[@AggroEntro]

@@worstretirementever thanks for actually answering both my questions 😁 will take advise from ur world tour workout* series

[@AQucsaiJr]

No climbs but in Orlando FL we have Gideon’s Bakery!

[@gsh4373]

We do sugar beets too, might not be the biggest Potato growers but the BEST ones.

[@tachyzack3402]

Research shows that cookies improve cycling descending performance better than anything else. 🍪🍪🍪

[@sps3172]

Did I see a non-ISM saddle on that bike?

[@AggroEntro]

phil i know this might not be in ur alley but could u try and join a crit?

[@worstretirementever]

You know I won like 40 crits back in the day. That was enough

[@garyjenkins9169]

Dang it, I was wondering when you would attempt bogus.

[@neilcrescenti7520]

Fly M Coffee! Best baked good

[@Outsideville]

You know Phil likes you if he insults you in a video.

[@worstretirementever]

Ha you’ve cracked the code

[@maxwright4387]

haha! phil didn't get it!

[@ellerybice3787]

Thank you Pill, for admitting that your grass chewing diet is failing you at 35. Perhaps some of that roadkill you pass on a daily basis will help you with your protein needs.

[@worstretirementever]

Haha you’re trolling the wrong youtuber ive always eaten meat

[@ellerybice3787]

@@worstretirementever that’s good to hear, so then why are you having trouble building muscle mass? At 57 I am doing quite well at staying strong. And that is with an occupation that requires way too much sitting, commercial driver. Try eating more fish, it works for me.

[@01FozzyS]

I think you need a new Mike,Phil.

[@caseyryder2119]

mic, like microphone

[@tayblades]

Please, dear god. Phil. You have a fancy little intro. You have sponsors. Get a decent lapel mic. I'm begging you.

[@bb1039]

go back next year and you`ll make 2nd

[@BreakingLance710]

Bro, what’s you’re opinion on it basically being open season on running over and killing cyclists out on the road recently without any criminal charges being able to stick whatsoever? Im astounded the community at large isn’t speaking up about this, not just you but all the powers that be in our great sport. I mean at this point, unless someone blows a 10.00 in the breathalyzer, they’re going home that day while the riders go to the ER or the morgue. Didn’t mean to be a downer but the cycling lawyers on IG always say the same thing while the situations keep getting worse and worse

[@worstretirementever]

I’ve spoken about it a lot. I don’t know what to say other than you’re right

[@michaelb1761]

A cyclist was struck and killed by a truck locally. After the police figured out who did it and arrested but before she was bailed out and deleted her Facebook account you could see just how callous she was about it as she was posting BS within an hour afterward. She was bailed out after 10 hours in jail, and if convicted of vehicular homicide faces a maximum sentence of 2 years. Realistically she'll get 5 years probation. I mean she didn't kill a person; it was only a cyclist.

[@pano360]

Bogus Basin: a "hill" - in reality, a HC climb lol

[@lichin11]

So, (assuming you're serious, which I don't) you're making a thing about pro bikers chasing KOMs, but it's okay for former pros to chase KOMs? Maybe not...leave these to the amateur bikers.
