Worst Retirement Ever Short - Patios KOM at 10,000 Ft w/ Data and Commentary in English AND SPANISH

Congratulations Phil , making a KOM at that height coming from the sea is admirable. When you come back you can try KOM in less busy climbs near Bogota, for example, La Cuchilla, Guasca, is a paradise and has more height. They climb it at GFNY Colombia. Thanks to Emily for translating. Congratulations again.

I lived in Bogota for a few years and loved this climb! The number of cyclists, the hoards of riders out there every morning at day break was insane. I LOVE watching this climb!

[@staff0flag]

Enjoyed the dual language commentary. You two pulled it off admirably.

[@gileseanes236]

Colombians use the word "paro" for a strike. So in this case, paro de camioneros. Also, A better day to climb patios without all the traffic are Sunday or festivos (Colombian holidays that usually fall on Mondays). This means you have ciclovia. Granted you will have thousands of cyclists and still some cars but it might be a little easier to navigate. Great video and great work!

[@duleprof]

Nice Phil, but can you put some metric data? So we from rest of the world can understand. Cheers

Hi, For those who want to go up to Patios without so much traffic, I recommend them at dawn just in the early hours of the morning and if you want to have the company of a vehicle it is better to have a motorcycle accompany you.

You made this climb look so easy 😵, So interesting to see your body response to high altitude in terms of power and cadence. Please come back soon, in August-September is a good time to be around here 😊

[@renatab8293]

Thank you so much Mr Gaimon for coming to Colombia and making this good video. The truckers were on strike is, los vagos camioneros estuvieron de paro, como siempre. I thought Rigo did this in 14 something minutes once, did he not? This is similar to my school run which is the same gradient but 11 km long and my best time is 41 minutes. The second best cycling town in Colombia is probably Manizales or Medellin. Pasto, Nariño is the best. Anyhow, you made a beautiful and enjoyable video and congratulations from my heart and, most of all, queensize thanks.

[@frdmendoza]

The truck strike was actually because the city government established a driving restriction for the older trucks, as a measurement to improve air quality in the city. Anyway, your KOM achievement is impressive, even more, considering that you almost have to stop twice. Patios is the Mecca of Bogotá's cycling, so sooner than later, a local guy will try to beat your time. Looking forward to seeing the whole of Bogotá's video.

[@bullwinkle428]

That makes sense - I saw a lot of 1970s-era Chevy and Ford trucks that were parked alongside the road. I was a "truck geek", growing up as a young kid in that time period, before moving into my cycling geek phase.

[@vincecaporale3544]

Hey Phil, you have one of the best KOM segments in your SoCal backyard. Glendora Ridge Route/Claremont Village(where you will find great coffee/cookies) to Mt Baldy Lodge. As you probably know these rides were part of the ToC. A great way to honor a US bike race.

[@stephenturkLA]

And take some of those KOMs that his good buddy Lawson Craddock set during ToC!

[@oldcyclist1838]

Phil, I have a KOM challenge for you. It's probably the longest road climb in SoCal (~35 miles) with the most elevation gain (~9,000'). It goes from just West of Maricopa on Hwy 166, then East onto Hudson Ranch Rd, then South on Cerro Noreste to the top. Maricopa is at ~500' elevation and the top of Cerro Noreste is at ~8300'. However the climb has some downhill sections totaling ~1500 of descent, so you end up climbing I think ~9,000'. I would like to see you make a video of your attempt.

I am sorry sir, but it is important to stress the point that you are KOM of the strava-techno-gadget-carbon era. Legend hast it Fabio Parra (Colombian pro cyclist from the 80s) has the absolute record going up in 14:00, possibly in an aluminum bike at best (most likely steel). You are amazing (honest congratulation), but you still have to shave 2 min to earn the absolute crown for our beloved mountain. (tip. next time do it early in the morning, less cars, better view)

For the high traffic climbs have you considered doing them late at night? With the follow car you shouldn’t have trouble with getting flattened from behind. The extra grams from the bike light should be offset by not getting stuck behind traffic jams.
