When going for the KOM at 8:00, the watts you see are Rowan's watts at 52KG. Mine didn't record unfortunately, so yeah, I'm literally in a full sprint.....
@@mgalarneau Yup. Quand j'arrete desfois mon powermeter se met en pause, il faut je repart manuellement les sensors et j'avais oublier pour l'effort. Je viens d'en discutter avec l'équipe de Karoo, ca devrait être bientôt réglé
You gotta love a guy with no social media activity, no training plan, no nutrition plan, no pacing on segments, still blowing up absolutely every climb he finds.
This guy is so successful! Super cyclist, McGill university professor, a nice family, and down to earth. Great role model for both bike and life in general!
I'm just saying... Bruce Banner is a biology researcher.. So maybe Rowan created a secret formula to help him go HULK smash on the climbs and recover super fast...
It says something about the state of world tour racing as this guy would rather be a college professor. I don’t know for sure, but I would bet his salary is comparable to if not better than most world tour pros
@@joshmagrum3552 world tour is alot different then kom hunting, Phil was fast but he didnt have good fatigue resistance and would always do badly in grand tours, hed get popped after a few days.
Professor of kinesiology and multi time California state TT champ here. I’ve done 468w for 20 minutes, 480w for nearly 16 minutes, not as uncommon as you think.
So basically he has a 6w/kg with no structured training, legend. I'm in my early 30s, I'll be so happy if I'm stronger at 40 than I am now. I've only been riding hard for a year now so maybe!
This is the first video of yours I've ever seen. Super fun formate and likable personality without being over the top. So glad I discovered your channel!
Sweet Super Six Evo 👌. Approved by Dan Evans, Andrew Feather, Phil Gaimon, and Rowan Barrett. Edge 130 for me too for light weight and because that’s all I can afford and a CAAD12 😅
Awesome video. Glad to see that on my one trip to Montreal, I managed to pick some of the same roads you guys did shooting this. I actually recognize the house at 13:48.
Really loved this all the way through, first watch of the channel. What a decent dude, so unbelievably humble at his sheer beast mode, "what the f**k!" summed up that drop situation haha. Really nice vid, nicely shot. Love it. Cheers
Props to this guy. Super rider, super person. There are many anonymous, non competitive riders scattered around the world who are world class level that just ride for their own enjoyment.
Une histoire et un parcours de vie et d’athlète magnifique! Merci pour cette vidéo sur Rowan!!! Je l’ai découvert sur Strava il y a quelques années après avoir participé aux Défis du Parc, en Mauricie. J’ai été complètement fasciné par les données que j’ai vues. Même à plus de 40 ans, il pourrait assurément faire le World Tour tout en se classant parmi les meilleurs. Très amusant de le voir se mesurer à la gang de la Grosse course Zwift aussi ;). Pour ceux qui ne le connaissaient pas, certains ont dû penser que le gars n’était pas legit… et pourtant!!! Bravo aussi à Rowan pour sa carrière de chercheur et son choix du vélo comme moyen de transport à l’année! Excellente manière de contribuer à l’environnement tout en développant une forme physique exceptionnelle.
Those numbers without structured training or nutrition are insane. Great he loves what he does as a professor but also a shame he didn't go pro just to see how far he would have gone in that space
Not sure how he'd fare as a pro. James Piccoli did beat him on the biggest KOM in Montreal and seems to be just average on the pro tour. His FTP is definitely world class, but other pros too and can produce it after very long rides which chances are he can't do it. His job is a much much better bet for his family.
I think the FTP charts need to be reimagined lol! First min of the climb - 546w or about 10.5w/kg (@52kg) - that's world class level shit right here. As for the whole climb 4:28 - 408w or about 7.84 w/kg! (max 5min in the chart is 7.60w/kg lol). While this effort was 30sec shorter, its still insane stats!
Really enjoyed this one Charles! Je suis cycliste à Montréal aussi et je voyais les KOM de Rowan partout, vraiment content de pouvoir découvrir la personne derrière! Big up!
I miss these climbs, used to be in NDG and this stuff was at my doorstep almost... Also anyone else subconsciously hate Rowan after seeing him on your head unit so many times? Lol guy's such a beast
Loved this, Charles! Always enjoy finding out more about these more unknown riders you see on top on Strava and on Zwift. Pretty sure I remember him in races up the big KOM reverse on Innsbruck (Zwift) back in 2017/2018, when I was watching a buddy race the same races. Ofc I had no idea who he was at the time. :P
I think you just set the standard for on bike riding interview process. I have not seen all you vids to know if you have done this process before. Wow great job and can’t wait to see more like this. Absolutely amazing video and audio work !!!!
Thank you so much man. I've been working hard to make it better. The audio is not the best here in this video. I use two new wireless mic, but rowan mic was on his neck and mine was on my chest strap. So I couldn't use both audio. So my audio is from the gopro and his from the wireless mic. Next time it will be better!!
Love this guy, he doesnt even care if seatpost and saddle are from ebay, yet he smash almost pretty much everyone who have more expensive bike than him.👍🏻👍🏻
Great video man, I thought I had an original idea when I thought of something like this, turns out you have done it better and sooner than I could right now 🙂 will follow your channel and keep up the good work man
interesting video. I live in Las Vegas. Which has many climbs. Love to see Barrett go against some of the cycling killers we have here locally. Phil has the KOM on our local mountain Mt. Charleston. That would be interesting to see. Anyway thanks for the content. I enjoyed it.
Started cycling at 42 (2y ago) was 220 pounds, now down to 180 and quite proud of my 251w FTP... Tried Camilien-Houde for the first time last week... lets just say I went all out doing over 400w all the way and didn't even come close to his time, or Piccoli's.. absolutely mind-boggling
Je reconnais toutes ces montées. Bravo Charles, your legs are still attached! It is not just his low weight, but his incredible cardio. He is talking very casually on 10% grades. He must a huge cardiac reserve.
Unreal how light he is and how high his power is considering. On flats he wouldn’t be too dangerous but going up climbs, it would be tough for even the strongest typical weight riders to match him.
@16:20 what you said is what I've felt. Go out and ride your bike, go out and challenge your body and it will get stronger. All this precise training methods almost suggest that without them you cannot improve, this is BS. If your always pushing your current form, you'll improve. You flatline when you normalize. If your going x fast and its easier than last time, go faster. If your legs start burning but you have more breath, try and keep those legs burning without burning out yourself! Learn yourself and prosper! You don't need a watt meter or anything else, just a brain and awareness. Being light as shit helps too haha
Not sure why they did not mention the model of his bike but it is a SuperSix HiMod... which is a crazy light and stiff frame. (I have both a SuperSix HiMod and a Synapse HiMod... and love the both.) If you keep your eyes open you can find these bikes used at very affordable prices. I found my SuperSix HiMod with Full Dura Ace 9000 used for about $600... but it did not have carbon wheels... just some super nice Ksyrium SL's running tubeless... and a crank-based power meter. It was about 15 lbs when I bought it.
If you check out team Cannondale Echelon p/b 4iiii Instagram you will see the ABUS helmets including a new custom one that ABUS made for the team that is about to be announced
Great Video and man this Rowan!!!... Completely off topic Charles but I love your helmet. Can you tell me what the make and model is please. Will appreciate it!!!
Here I am 6'4" 205 lean enduro dude, former XC x 8 years breathing hard sitting down watching him stand out of saddle and crush inclines and still holding conversation....LOL. Dude is a genetic freak, and obviously works hard at his craft. KUDOS.
52kgs with that sort of power for that kind of duration...no career in cycling. What an absolute hero, and great he is just having fun and exploring, just happens to be pretty handy when things get steep!
Rowan is an absolute machine pumping out those watts at his weight. Strava segments are evil. I've just about popped a gasket a few times trying to beat younger (and much lighter) me.
When going for the KOM at 8:00, the watts you see are Rowan's watts at 52KG. Mine didn't record unfortunately, so yeah, I'm literally in a full sprint.....
what was his crank size and cassette
Crazy Watts/kg performance
Karoo issue ?
@@mgalarneau Yup. Quand j'arrete desfois mon powermeter se met en pause, il faut je repart manuellement les sensors et j'avais oublier pour l'effort. Je viens d'en discutter avec l'équipe de Karoo, ca devrait être bientôt réglé
Damn, those wattage numbers would’ve been good for someone 70 kilos.
You gotta love a guy with no social media activity, no training plan, no nutrition plan, no pacing on segments, still blowing up absolutely every climb he finds.
yes!! indeed
Guys like him tend to be the most humble and down to earth people, unlike 99% of all the other “influencers” on Instagram.
@@astrayagrarian …because 99% of the “influencers” on SM are in the eternal pursuit of meaningful relevance that they will never have
@@TasteLikeChicken precisely
Rides for the joy of it.....
I can confirm that Rowan took 8 of my KOM last week when he rode in my area. 😅 #thanks
Ahah ahahhaha 🤣🤣🤣
Ouch!
Nice humblebrag !
what a badass humble man lol. an active scientist while low-key having elite level of athleticism
Yes so humble!!
Yep, just like Gordon Freeman
This guy is so successful! Super cyclist, McGill university professor, a nice family, and down to earth. Great role model for both bike and life in general!
he is indeed!!
As long as he commutes to university by bike.
I'm just saying... Bruce Banner is a biology researcher.. So maybe Rowan created a secret formula to help him go HULK smash on the climbs and recover super fast...
So THATS THE SECRET!!!!
Is it a shot or something you drink? I want some . . .
Lol my man's got the juice juice. Been improving the formula since day 1.
Didn't even think of that. Top notch detective work!
There’s no UCI rules against turning into the Hulk.
Mat Wilson and now Rowan Barrett; I'm really enjoying these slice of life into amateur cycling. Top content📈
Thanks Zephyr!!!
I legit thought he was an AG2R la mondiale rider
Edit: The rider I thought this guy was goes by Romain Bardet.
Rowan, at >6w/kg Phil gaimon not only knows who you are, he probably has your picture taped on the wall in front of his trainer
Ahahahahh ahahaha probably.!!
yeah, i watch phil, and i agree with you. Rowan is a BEAST, and modest
It says something about the state of world tour racing as this guy would rather be a college professor. I don’t know for sure, but I would bet his salary is comparable to if not better than most world tour pros
I remember an episode from Phil when he said "the KOM is owned by this guy from Quebec" or something like that. He definitely knows who Rowan is.
@@joshmagrum3552 world tour is alot different then kom hunting, Phil was fast but he didnt have good fatigue resistance and would always do badly in grand tours, hed get popped after a few days.
This just became my favorite cycling video. Gold.
Thank you so much Mark!!
Thanks for putting a face to the name I see all over Strava. Seems like a great guy
Thank you for watching!!
a professor for biology and such a great cyclist??? holy shit, this guy is great
ahah he is!!

Well i have also a phd and am a researcher and have a 5wkgish ftp 😂 but no way near 6 😅

52 Kg with over 300 watt FTP!!! just mind blowing.
yupppp!!
I "only" need now to lose 7 Kg and...gain 70 watts for my FTP... insane x)
Is that possible and can someone explain the wieght with ftp
idk man. 52kg for a grown man is a tad bit light...

This is the first video of yours I've ever seen. Super fun formate and likable personality without being over the top. So glad I discovered your channel!
Thank you so much man!! I appreciate it a lot
I've seen Rowen blow by me at High Park, his sped is mind melting. BTW the camera guys expression at 10:20 is hilarious
Yeah man, so fast!! AHAHA YEAH, his ''whuuuttt theee faaaaaaack duuuudee'' is hilarious
Ahahah i mean the BIG RING on a 12% climb!?!?
Legend. I once took a segment from Rowan whilst he was in France doing the Ventoux KOM. He knocked back 30s on my time the day he came back
Shiiiit, no respect from rowan
Yes Rowaaaaan!
The Steg is a timeless classic but I also really fell in love with your Gorgosaurus at Redpath! Such a beaut!
ahahah !!! Dinosaurs lovers
Sweet Super Six Evo 👌. Approved by Dan Evans, Andrew Feather, Phil Gaimon, and Rowan Barrett. Edge 130 for me too for light weight and because that’s all I can afford and a CAAD12 😅
Ahah yes!! À solid bike ⚡
Awesome video. Glad to see that on my one trip to Montreal, I managed to pick some of the same roads you guys did shooting this. I actually recognize the house at 13:48.
Thanks man!! ahah yes that house is so unique
Great camera work to capture the speed he carries on the KOM! Super stylish rider!
Thanks man!! He is
That guy is a straight up natural born watt crusher. 💪🏻🚴🏻♂️⭐️
This guy attends meetings one day, and crushes KOMs the next lol crazy 🤣
I know right?? ahah
Those conferences usually have a table of pastries and snacks between sessions, so that could explain his energy. :)
ahahha yes!!
"Every fiber of my body was hurting". That's how I feel climbing CH at 10 km/h 😂
AHAHAHA yes!!
The fact that he can beat pro's is impressive!
He has a bunch of KOM's in Toronto, no wonder no one can't beat that.
ahah yes, everywhere he goes, he racks those KOMs
That's why his name was familiar.
Yey, another Cannondale rider! 😍
Great ride Rowan! 👍🏻
Ahah yes he have a nice one!!
First watch of one of your vlogs. Really good👌🏻 Rowan is a monster!! Loved the ‘what the f***!’ 😂
Thanks man!, welcome to the Chanel 💯

Thank you so much man!! Welcome to the channel :)
Sure, sure, just a casual interview on Mt Pleasant at 7 percent! PS, I saw Rowan last week (as he blew by me on the top of Mt Royal)
Ahahha yes! 😅
Awesome video, well edited. I rarely watch such long videos but I was entertained almost the whole time just from the conversation. Thank you!
Thank you so much!!!
Props to this guy. Super rider, super person. There are many anonymous, non competitive riders scattered around the world who are world class level that just ride for their own enjoyment.
THE local legend of Montreal.
Indeed.
Just did Alpine Dam to the top of Mt. Tam on Sunday. Awesome ride. I can't even fathom getting to the parking lot in 22 minutes,
Ahah yeah it's unreal!!

Amazing guy, that Rowan. It’s so obvious he’s happy when you look at him. Quintessence of positive energy. Wow.
Absolutely!!
nice content Charles! Been wanting to know more the man behind all these KOMs!
