  • Jeremy Powers joined retired WorldTour pro cyclist‪@worstretirementever‬ for a bike ride in his home city of LA to chase some Strava KOMs and eat cookies. Gaimon, who used to ride for Cannondale and Garmin is an old teammate of Jeremy's, and they joined forces once again to attempt a record on Dixie Canyon as part of Jeremy's tour of Hollywood.

And Phil is a GCN natural and he could be like Ryan Seacrest, gettin' all Hollywood by smiling' for the camera everywhere. But he really does need a new hat, one emblazoned with Retired My Eye, as Cheech and Chong might say :)

    The secret is out... LA rocks for riding. I agree with Phil - Latigo Canyon is our crown jewel for road riding, but Yerba Buena has been repaved, and Mulholland from Little Sycamore to the Pacific is closed to cars so that loop in either direction (clockwise or counter) could now be the best. And the MTB in the Santa Monica Mtns is great too.

    “I’m actually retired, I‘m like you “
    No it’s not! Phil seems to be retired but he isn’t! Look how lean he is and follow him on Strava, the kilometers of training he does are kind of the same as when he was a pro cyclist !
    I’m envious of him for what he does for a living now 😂.
    That’s a great life !😅

      Pretty sure he says "I'm actually retired, unlike you", hence the emphasis on the word 'actually'
