Proud pf you. You spent most of the race in the middle of the group instead of dangling off the back. And you whooped the Cat B pro. You , too, can be a Cat B pro. 👍👍👍
It's the crazy steep pitches then it flattens out giving you the false impression you can rest when in reality you need to keep hammering otherwise you lose the group before the next kick!
Thanks for the shoutout! "cough cough eh besides mine" 🤣🤣thats great! I was getting a little nervous when the group speed picked up with the anvils on the downhill.
Wow, that was spicy AF! Great work staying with the front, it looked like you were struggling to get back on at times, but you did it, cracking time too! 👊💪💪💪
Need to do it again. was dropped on Tuesday. I needed at least 5 more gears. 😂 TDifficulty to 100% was not smart. Climbing bike and 50% is my new approach. great ride Eric
nice ride. Great catch after the descent. Do you wish you'd waited until you were on some steeper slopes to deploy the anvil - you probably would have been with G1 at the bottom and could have saved a match. I googled that pro. He's 47, competed at the 2016 Olympics in MTB for Guam. He was valedictorian at the US Naval Academy and captain of the gymnastics squad (academic all American). He's an eye surgeon.
yeah two edge sword that one.i used the anvil in my race a couple of nights ago (few hundred miles past KOM banner) and boy i flew down the hill. Guy behind me had to put out 5 W /kg to keep up. as i was resting on 1.8w/kg lol. But sure wish i had his feather at the finish line 😂 Just shows what a great thing it is to ride zwift and ride with the world 🤙🏼
That was a tough course. Your time is unreal 💪😎 Superfast... Have to re do it today as my internet dropped 3 times for me on Tuesday 🤦 BTW...will use the climbing bike setup as per the analysis video 😊
@tDroppedCycling he's a 47-year-old mountain biker. If he has his MTB on the trainer I can understand why he is in Cat B. You can't produce much power with that small front crank! And you can forget about sprinting!
WHAT A SOLID SOLID EFFORT WOW!!!!! If I was a rich man Erik, I would pay for you to get a VO2 max test done because I would love to see your numbers. If I was a betting man, 100% you would be high 60's or low 70's! How I wish I could join you on your first outdoor hammer fest ride and see how long I could hang on for dear life following you! BEAST
I don't know about the Aethos w/Lightweight selection in this case. Maybe it was just in my head, but I felt like I was suffering like a dog using that combo on the flats in the draft. Plus I'm a bigger guy where watts aren't the problem. The NY KOM has steps. It's slightly draftable. I chose the Tron for this race. Either that or the Addict with 7.8's. Normally, I race the Venge with disks on most things.
I wonder how hard it hits the B cat pro to not win these races. I’ve never seen him win a race on a few different TH-camrs vids. No hate, if you are pro you must be super competitive and to have that pro jersey on here I’d feel a lot of pressure to win. As at the moment I’d be like, Erik should be the pro, not me and everyone else who beat me lol. Cracking effort Erik, I’m seeing a surprising amount of riders quitting this course this week as they can’t take the smoke. Looking forward to the coffee ride with a TH-camr soon :D
It’s quit jarring when you see 100 sign up and 50 or less finish… lots of bodies all over NYC KOM and this stage can be renamed to Stage RAGE QUIT! But I love it, pushing yourself to the max and trying to NOT get dropped! See ya Saturday! Bring coffee to fuel up before we melt up the volcano 🫠

Oh no, I crushed your outro 😂 was fun and disgusting race at the same time. Love it!
A big bucket was needed on top of the KOM!
Proud pf you. You spent most of the race in the middle of the group instead of dangling off the back. And you whooped the Cat B pro. You , too, can be a Cat B pro. 👍👍👍
NGL the legs felt FRESHAF... today after two more races, not so much!
I freaking hate that climb! So steep and it never ends ! Cudos Eric 💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼well deserved top 10

NGL the poop started to turtle a bit on that descent.... LMAOOOOOOOO I was about to take back all my nice words!
great ride Erik that’s a hard route where you need to put in effort.
Not easy at all that's for sure! No flat at all
Great racing man. Awesome climb. Just finished it myself and that climb is really hard
It's def no joke!
Wow, that was spicy AF! Great work staying with the front, it looked like you were struggling to get back on at times, but you did it, cracking time too! 👊💪💪💪
Oh I was on the LIMITS!!!

i'm definitely will not be doing this one again 🤣
Great effort! Great time!
🤙🏼 bro. That was one SOLID ride 💪🏼👍
Yamon! Had to move this video up and drop it asap!
Top racing, Erik! 🎉 Interesting insight into bike choice and certainly food for thought. 🤔 Super strong once more! 💪 🚲
It was definitely interesting indeed. Had the perfect route to try it out on too!

Had to hit the anvil then to get a fresh one down hill… possible back to back anvils!!!
Wow you dug deeeeeeep! 😆

I...damn...
Four minutes faster than me and I finished cooked well done.
I was BBQED!

Good luck! I’d like to say it helped a bit 😆
I need all the help I can get on the climbs so I'm going to give the lightweight bike a try. Killer effort, you beat your favorite cat B pro.
I aspire to be the next B Cat Pro on Zwift!!!
@@DontGetDroppedCyclinghaha, you gotta get that checkmark first
Dam 174 HR at the 20 min point I thought you were going to die amazing job fresh as a daisy right there!
FRESH AS A DAISY to burn all my matches trying to catch back on 🤣
bring on the zwift games should be fun
They start later tonight for me!! Can't wait to get a taste of racing Loop de Loop!
Very solid 7th on a very tough course. And hey, you beat the B cat pro cyclist!
Should have raced him to be the King B Cat PRO!
@tDroppedCycling he's a 47-year-old mountain biker. If he has his MTB on the trainer I can understand why he is in Cat B. You can't produce much power with that small front crank! And you can forget about sprinting!
Epic performance 👏
I'm still pretty toast from it 🥵
close to 4 w/kg ! nice ride
✌🏽

I wish I knew what high 60s low 70s VO2 max means 🤷🏻♂️ Can you relate that to a golf score? Under Par? Par? 80s? 🤪
LMAO You would break course recordsLOL@@DontGetDroppedCycling
@@danielhebert3528 how much for one of these tests? Wonder if it’s worth a video 🤔

It was an experiment so had to go full lightweight. Otherwise my go to for Knickerbocker would be the trusty LabronTron!

@@DontGetDroppedCycling lol I rage quit this yesterday! I hate myself for it.
Lmaoooooo still a few days for REDEMPTION!
I think that's the most tired I've seen you. Glad you didn't croak
Glad I made it to the end without rage quitting!
Hitting this one in 2 hours. Just noticed I'll be racing a dude who's NY KOM PR is 3:20 at 463 watts...5.3 w/kg. Cat B nonsense! 😆😆
Charge up that cordless drill!!!!!
Bro you gotta quit smoking...that cough
Only trees 😉
even if you dies in the middle of a race, push harder, then you will become an angel, then you will fly...👼🪽
Lmaooooooo you’ll float to the top of the KOM first!!!
