    A little about Ed….
    Ed is an elite cyclist, 2019 British Hill Climb Champion and former Under 23 British RR Champion. He has raced as a Continental level Professional Rider in Japan, Korea, Australia, Canada, Azerbaijan to name a few. He is also a public speaker, coach, and remains grounded with regular returns to his roots at Bynea Cycling Club. At the start of 2021, the Discord community began, and plonked many of Ed's viewers in to a 550+ strong group of people that had many things in common. Not least wanting to explore the world and pedal their bikes faster!
    Ed coaches lots of cyclists in the online community too! If you are interested, email [laverackcoaching@yahoo.com](mailto:laverackcoaching@yahoo.com) for information on the 1-2-1 coaching package and training plans, of which there are many!
    Ed now prioritises having fun with my hard earned fitness and knowledge in the sport. Showcasing that maybe there is an alternative to racing for teams when you can race for yourself and your community of followers and brands. This TH-cam channel is a docu-series highlighting what it’s like to be a cyclist in today’s competitive age of sport.

    The Croix de Fer is one of my favourite climbs. The view of the three peaks of Aiguilles d’Arves is still my screen saver. I hope you had time to enjoy it Ed, it’s such a great area there. The Pass de la confession across to Alpe D’Huez is just 👌

    Brilliant! Slightly different weather to Saturday-Tuesday for us hit 40degrees making Croix de fer, Sarenne, deux Alpes and col du sabot horribly hard work. Amazing scenery tho Ed, lap it up!

    Great to see you enjoying yourself on your bike Ed. 4th overall when you are recovering from a health issue must be a big boost to your confidence. p.s. The quality of the filming and editing were excellent. Thanks for sharing.

    Your face - the excitment - brilliant. Col De La Croix de Fer is quite possibly the most stunning climb i have ridden so far. Hoping to top it in 30 days in the Pyrenees.

    Oh trust me, I knew when riding uphill how crazy steep it was :)

      Oh yeah! You beasted it when you were here last year!

    With that countdown I was expecting a zwift style start!

    If you start with two bottles and then drink the first one as soon as you can, is the overall weight still not the same? 😅

    • @edlaverack
      @edlaverack  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Mmmmm, not quite....have to sweat it somewhere ;)

    Best climb ever... (controversial claim.. ;-) )

  • @nickpilgrim1966
    @nickpilgrim1966 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Very true about HR on those long hard GF. Especially if it's hot. If you go into the red too early you pay for it later. Pacing is critical.

  • @jessejamesv
    @jessejamesv 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Wait, max speed 66mph or kph? 66 is pretty fast.

    • @edlaverack

      kph, I'm no Roman Bardet lol!

    4:54 get used to it because Stage 2 to Auris is a literal cliff hanger of a road
