    The speed you pass everyone else at actually makes me laugh. You're a (cookie) monster, dude !

      Alex Hoch it blows my mind how he’s chilling on the saddle. Spinning. In the zone. Half way thru a kom. And people get out of the saddle. Full effort. Sprint. Get gassed. And he blows past them. It just shows you how good you need to be to be top level. Amazing . Even though he’s retired. Maybe this is why cookies are better 😎

    I see Phil riding up these hills as fast as he does (I still wake up in a cold sweat after seeing his avg speed up GMR) and I’m convinced, it’s not the cookies. Phil is actually Optimus Prime, leader of the Autobots. The cookies are his cover. 😆

    Try La Canada through Sunland. Loads of hills, quiet streets. If you want the mountains, forget the Angeles Crest, it's too dangerous. Try Big Tujunga Canyon or Mt Emma Road - much quieter.

    Phil needs to challenge Emma Pooley's hour long climb record, 1,275 M. She reportedly averaged 231 watts over the hour, and she couldn't weigh more than 50 kg. Oh yeah, and she was disappointed in her effort; she thought that she would do 1,400 M in an hour.

    • @michaltoman2805
      @michaltoman2805 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      That was her first try, and she paced it badly, as she said. Also, it was a really hot weather for that. I am sure she can go higher than that. The problem is finding a good climb for it.

    • @michaelb1761
      @michaelb1761 6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      @@michaltoman2805 I didn't mean to sound critical. 230 w for one hour at her weight is crazy good. Your right, if she tried again and paced better, she could probably reach her goal of 1400 m in an an hour.
