    How to tell if someone's a cyclist? They run like a wounded deer that's had a stroke.

    You're back! With normal handlebars (I was about to leave a very scathing comment about retirees who go back to those but okay, UCI rules), dildos (take that, UCI!) and "people" (were there any?). Brilliant video!

    • @Maxwaehrens
      @Maxwaehrens 5 лет назад

      They even skip the bar tape. But British hill climbs are more like sprints than long endurance climbs.

    And... I just did most of Haleakala in Maui. Ran into some bad weather. You should bag that one. Fellow Canadians Wood and Hesjedal are current and previous record holders. From Paia town the record is about 2:30 ish. 0-10000 ft.

    • @Starclimber
      @Starclimber 6 лет назад +1

      I ran into bad weather there too, and was more than dumb enough to continue. Second the notion that Phil should take a crack at it.
