Worst Retirement Ever - Gotta Keep Doing These Til They Don’t Hurt - 8 Hours of Climbing in Malibu

[@dan.p.8060]

You’re like a cycling specific stand up comedian. Always love tuning in to your channel. Ride safe

[@ph1sh3rman]

ugh. Those silent roads are the things of dreams! Also "chamois butt'r plug" just sounds uncomfortable ;)

[@nightsfalling]

Thanks for pointing out there are water stations on that road.

14:25 Is called a dromedary (camelus dromedarius). A regular camel has two humps on the back.

[@bighammer3464]

Phil, you might want to get your valves checked. I think I may have heard some pinging when your motor started.

[@larrytanzo4761]

Can’t wait to see your Everesting record attempt again! I’m enjoying your training journey just as much💪🏼

[@evanmacdougall9715]

I've driven many of these roads. Nice to seem them all again. Riding out PCH is great in a car, but spending it on a bike for any length of time always seemed like something I wouldn't want to do for more than a minute or two. Stay safe, Phil!

[@dgmast]

Phil, I'm currently in Singapore, via Australia and I've ridden those roads many a time. I may never again, but your video bought it all back. Keep 'em coming and may your sense of humor continue to be as close to an Australian's as it currently is ..

Camels are so cool! Hope each video has an animal guest lol! Another great tour video! Thanks for sharing Phil 👍🏻

[@TheDoctorhuw]

Thanks Phil Had some lovely times in that area and up to into Santa Barbara (work) about 20 years ago. Your ride brought back some good memories of a younger fitter me. Love to go cycling that way again before i cant turn a crank, keeping the climbing legs active here in the Peak district so shout be good for at least another 5 years or so……. hopefully.

[@chasc2389]

‘Not as smoggy as it looks but not not smoggy’. Thanks for making that not unclear but not not unclear. I think. My ride tomorrow may be as much fun. I hope. Peace.

Having grown up in TO, that was a Magical Mystery Tour of old haunts-particularly Decker. Thanks! Amazing day in the saddle.

You look so happy here mate, glad to see it.

[@SioLazer]

Thank you so much for the details on the Picky Bar! I LOVE the ingredients. I used to use Larabars a lot and there are just too many whole pieces of nuts.

[@ernie12man]

I did Lara bars a while too, they got old fast. Can't really stand to eat them now, kinda like the way back days when Powerbars became unedible.

[@michaelb1761]

@@ernie12man Powerbars Got old for me the first time I ate one. Tried different kinds, but never liked them. With Lara bars, I just try to avoid eating one flavor too much and have started using them with Rise protein bars: 2.1 oz, 280 calories, 20 g protein, and 20 g carbs. Only 3 ingredients, ground almond, whey protein powder, and honey. If you like almonds and honey, they taste great.

[@timlintner1588]

Glad that you posted this. Did all of these rides/climbs in the mid-80's. Agreed -- Latigo is the King/Queen. Great riding in Topanga Canyon as well. A TON of history in that canyon. I could tell you a few stories, but ....

[@jamesgreene1979]

It's cold today, it's like 65 degrees!! we dream of 65 degree days here in Ireland.

[@riocardm]

in fairness it's 23c / 73f here in Dublin today... but the hills are a little better in LA

[@michaelb1761]

I'd love to be able to start a bike ride at 65F. It was 80F (27 C) at 8 AM this morning, and is supposed to get up to 102F (39 C).

[@riocardm]

Michael Burgess thunder, heavy rain, humid AF on the last day of July here... typical Irish summer. If only there was a middle ground between ridiculously hot and ridiculously wet summers

I just bought chamois buttr and I didn't feel anything after 70 miles, thanks for the recc

[@3shighoctane]

I wish I could go back in time to ‘08-10 when I was stationed at Pt. Mugu Naval air station and get into cycling in my early 20’s and ride some of those badass climbs.

[@jamtoz]

I like the way you measure time, "this as been here since 2 fires", "this camel lives here since 4 fires but we only got To know each other 2 fires ago" 😂😂😂✌

[@ToschiHRO]

Phil, thanx for the great Video. Bout the only Thing that would make want to travel to the US right now... One questions: from bottle three on out- do you drink pure water or do you bring anything to put in it in your Rides?

[@mikeschmidt9298]

You’re inspiring! Thanks for sharing!

[@robinheil]

They closed some of the parkways in Minneapolis to allow pedestrians and cyclists more room to recreate at a distance. West River Parkway is one such road that runs through the majestic Mississippi River Gorge. It's road cycling heaven. It's a shame it's opening to cars again. Edit: "GWAGON" lmao. Please do a Frank Lloyd Wright tour of LA!

That weird structure, back it the day there was a Dome house thing more near Kanan on Latigo maybe it burned if that's the area, been decades since I went down that, Grew up in Agoura those are my home roads but at the time I was on a motorcycle. I'm a month into my road bike comeback but today I must have been at a low biorhythm I was dyeing. Love your channel Aloha from Maui 🤙

[@cyklatillbahamas]

I heard "going home via paella" - now that would be a great way to end a ride

I'll stick with my fixie near the swamps of Jersey. Always use chamois butt r, not to be mixed up with icy hot rub!

Rock store being closed to motors is such a boon for me as a beginner cyclist. Challenging (for me) climb without having to worry about being flattened. Santa Monica Mountains are a gem. What is your take on Deer Creek Rd further north?

[@MrBobswire]

That was awesome, I'm about ready to get out on my "not quite as awesome" ride of about 20 miles , 647 ft. from Petaluma to Rohnert Park on varied terrain, cool trails including the Smart Train Trail that I happened upon by accident from a dirt road a few weeks ago.

[@Cassienope]

Take the long way. Out to Tomales and back in through Olema. It's beautiful.

[@michaelb1761]

I was always afraid to ride the wine country backroads. As beautiful as they are, the high percentage of drunk drivers always worried me. I guess that isn't as big of a problem with all of the wine tasting rooms closed.

[@Cassienope]

@@michaelb1761 Mostly stay off the roads that are used to travel around the area and ride early enough. There are a lot of less used roads in the area. If you finish your ride around 12pm you miss most of the traffic.

[@8rk]

It seems Contador's record is now broken by 20 mins :o Although the new record holder apparently had a solid tailwind on the climb for the whole thing.

[@deltava100]

It's cold out... 65f. That's a British summer for mr haha.

[@chrisnelson5770]

Hey Phil, half-assed KZbinr question: What kinda mount do you use for your camera that makes it easy to switch from bar mounted to hand-held selfie? I've done a little selfie stuff with a swivel mount, but end up showing viewers nasal inspection shot from the bar mount psoition.

[@TheBRad704]

I'd guess it's 2 different cameras. 1 - hard mounted on the bars and 2 - handheld on a short cam stick that can be put in his rear pocket when not in use.

[@VeloJake]

I don't don't know how many times it took to see the M logo on the side of the helmet for it to to click (partly because I watch so many mountain bikers that I see it all the time), but wait? monster sponsors and endurance athlete? Man the times have changed.

The camel family Camelidae evolved in North America. Llamas and alpacas are both part of the family. Maybe you were looking at a clone camel created from ancient DNA of the extinct Camelops genus. With the wealth in Malibu, anything is possible!
