The cheeky smile of the Red team rider on the end just translate what true sportsmanship is ❤
It was the smile of "Ha, I just got my ass handed to me and I'm not even mad. That was very impressive!"
This was fun to watch, way to go EJ! I couldn't hit 1500w if bears were chasing me on an e-bike!
can a bear ride an e-bike?
haha I fell you
Bears are terrifyingly fast. I don't think they need an e-bike to catch up to anyone.
If this doesn't get you up off the couch to race a bike, I don't know what will. Way to go EJ! Extremely inspiring story.
"Cycling dad"! I Love it!! :D Also, congratulations on the win! That's amazing! Kinda hard to beat a 1500-watt sprint. Still, I'm sure it's nice to see all of the months of dedicated training pay off.
Truly, Jeff is the cycling dad we all need.
1.5 kilowatts 🔥
EJ's got the power, now he has to build on the strategy and skill.
@@dpcater 1500 isn't totally crazy, but all depends on weight as you say. Also, 1500W randomly on the watt bike (that's stationary and you don't have to worry about crashing the thing) and doing 1500W at the end of half an hour of hard riding (actually did it twice) are very different things
Incredible. SO nice to see the hard work rewarded. The two guys who were away with him really really first rate also. Big futures ahead for all three.
Wild that this is my all time favorite video from this channel.
Congrats
Way to go EJ!
And yes, I would love to follow EJ’s journey as he moves up the ranks from 5 to 1!
I swear this is better than watching the Tour de France maybe even the Tour of Flanders and almost as good as watching WVA and MDP race cyclocross.
In Cali it’s already short bibs season meanwhile in Mid/Eastern Europe it’s 1 degree raining snowing :/ watching it on trainer makes me so jealous. Good one on the W
Wow, that sprint power was insane, and that was after taking pulls on the front. Amazing, can't wait to see more, this is just the start!
That’s very inspiring! I am a 61 year old cyclist, and I’ve never raced, but quite honestly, this whole process (from couch to today) is really giving me motivation to try race once in a while. Great job and it was truly fun to watch this whole series of videos leading up to today.
Even more inspiring is to see a 61 year old getting motivated to try racing! If THIS doesn’t motivate you, nothing will! :)
Also, great job EJ!
Thanks! I’m a long time cyclist.. I do a lot of group and endurance type rides. Watching EJ take this on was really fun to watch. I didn’t think he’d only need one race to do it. LoL. I was thinking he’d maybe go a whole season before winning.
"You are a novice after all. This is where you belong." With a 1,500W sprint, private coach, and nutrition plan "me thinks thou doth protest too much." 😂 Nice work EJ
The dude leading the sprint out for you at 500 watts on the front, what was he thinking! Oh man, you owe that guy a drink! Still, that sprint was very impressive, nice one.
I really hope we get to see EJs full journey throughout the season
I cannot get enough of this, EJ. This has been such a cool and inspiring journey. It’s infectious and so motivating. Thanks you guys!
I am so lucky to follow EJs journey till this point. It’s really fun to watch
His move trying to get away with the red peloton guy was 👌 burned a good match but cornered beautifully. Great race man!!
Awesome EJ! You have some talent! Go have fun racing and enjoy every single moment of this. Will be fun to see you upgrade through the ranks this season
Great race, great effort, great progress! Congratulations to the entire team!
good wholesome youtube entertainment great no one went down, so good racing was had and everyone was friendly at the end. Congrats EJ, and the rest of the racers.
Some natural talent and commitment to grow as a rider. Great combination. When your bike handling and race management catch up, you will be a major force to be dealt with. Look out Jeff.
Congrats man..U are truly inspiring, and a very nice young man as well. U deserve all the good things coming your way. Work hard and stay humble . God bless.
Awesome! What an inspirational transformation. I'd love to continue following EJ's progress, now that he's hopefully caught the racing bug.
1500 watts in such a short period of time is impressive. Dude’s got natural talent for sure.
Congrats EJ! And awesome Laughters during the video great vibes! Road to Cat 1/2
Absolutely amazing! I’m definitely on board to watch Couch to Cat 1, looking forward to the next episode!
Enjoy the ride EJ. I still remember my first public cat, and Cat V race wins from the early 90s (first-year the UCSF introduced the Cat V), and they are fond memories that I've carried into my 50s. I also continue some friendships I made with my former team members and even still ride with a few. None of us had power meters, GPS computers, digital cameras, etc. in the 90s and only have our minds to hold these memories; you'll be able to relive this moment and many more others with your friends and possibly children when you're in your 50s.
That surge to 1k watts at 7:50 pretty quickly brought EJ’s HR up almost 20bpm though he basically coasted afterwards - crazy!
Wow! Congrats EJ! Well deserved win! Wattage cottage bro!
The man is a natural!!! Well done to both of you.
Great job EJ!!! These videos have come so far Jeff great job, thanks for doing them!!!
Awesome job EJ! I love watching the progress and look forward to seeing how far you go!
It was nice to meet you Jeff and EJ!! Hopefully the Cat 4 video will be uploaded soon! Keep up the good work.
Beautifully done, congrats to EJ!
I'm late to the party but getting addicted to these videos. That was super inspiring and fun to watch. Congrats!
EJ you clearly have some athletic ability, and its awesome to see it round into form - but I really think this video highlights the benefits a GREAT coach can have. Nicely done!
This was awesome. I love the enthusiasm and honesty
Yeah EJ!! Could even post up with a smile! Great job. Fun watch.
Hard work pays off. Late in following your journey but this is amazing content. Love to see a couch to Cat 1 indeed.
NCC.. this is the best crit video I have watched. E J is a star. Couch to cat 1. Ideal
Way to go! When you got in the lead your cornering looked like great lines!
Wow! This inspire me to ride more on my bike. Congratulations ej!
Man that’s so amazing!!! Congratulations EJ!!! Way to go!!
Congrats EJ! Unbelievable first race💪
EJ! Let's go! Smashing effort mate. Put the 🔨 down!
this is just the most wholesome and interesting bike racing content ever!
Couch to Cat 1 is appropriate for this case 😂
Congrats EJ!! So inspiring!!
That's absolutely insane. Well done guys. Amazing effort
Well done EJ! I have loved following your story.
Definitely hope to see some more of EJ on this channel, definitely a fun journey with a nice cherry on top today.
Congrats man! My first crit is coming up, couple days spring fling in Lawrence Kansas. Awesome race again buddy

Well done EJ, I'm so happy for you!
I wish we had crit races here, this looks so motivating.
Really fun to watch. Thanks for the video
Congrats EJ. Well Done!
That 1500w snap was insane. Can't wait to race EJ again @ Alviso.
Congrats EJ!!!!!
Love EJ, what a legend. Super cool dude.
Not sure what I expected of the cherry pie crit, but it wasn't a literal cherry pie on the podium LOL.
This was brilliant and inspiring. Long live couch to crit, bring on couch to cat 1
Nice work! This is freakin' awesome. We need a Logan v EJ matchup now!
I'm imagining Jeff with a full team of couch to crit riders!
Seeing this is so inspiring. GOOD JOB EVERYONE!
Great job EJ!! That's a serious watt bazooka.
Won your first race, wow. Congrats EJ you’ve got some talent
Dude, that was so exciting. Nice power! Subscribing now.
Amazing! Congratulations EJ. Now you need to do couch to Crit with an average mortal. I want to seem someone struggle. I have raced many years and never won a race. 🙂
Gosh... i am so stoked... i even started screaming at the screen. My mrs even got the knock because I wasnt listening to her. Well done...
Well done! very entertaining and inspiring!
