Chasing a USA National level Masters rider up Boulder City Parkway | climb with Power Data

This was a really fun one. On our way back to Las Vegas after riding to the Hoover Dam and all the talk was about the Boulder City Parkway climb / segment.
3.4 miles at 4% with a really good initial pace set by both Joy and Dennis. Then Jon Trimble decided to blow things apart. I had a go at holding the wheel but fell away after a few minutes when he put the hurt on me.
My power numbers for the climb were good (for me) with a PB for 17 minutes of 372w and I held a half decent 340w for the 20 minute mark. Not good enough to hold onto Jon's wheel but better than I would have expected
Many thanks to Adrian for the additional camera footage.

It was great riding with you David. There's another U.S. National level Masters rider in the video, and that's Joy Martino, age 60. I'm 66, and the tall guy with the beard is Dennis, age 67. The other person taking video from behind is Adrian and you also saw Michael Reiter.
