That creak for 8 hours would drive me insane though :D
Right!? Velostop, yeesh.
Comment of appreciation for the filming of you grinding away getting up those flat sections 👌
the hardest flat sections i have ever seen!
"There's no way I'm riding 8 hours here...." hopefully you aren't riding 8 hours anywhere on summit day :P
Awesome shot of you going by..downhill ! Be safe man.
Anddd. I just got my Cookie buff. Thanks man !!
There is a hill near my house with a 28% gradient, but only 50 feet of gain. I thought about doing a half Everest on that, but quickly decided that I don’t have the will power nor the strength. Props to Phil for taking this difficult task on yet again!
580 repeats would be long...
Sorry I had not seen that it was a half Everest. 290 reps is still a lot lol
I just bought one of those Lexus's for my wife! Never noticed you had one in previous videos. They are great and I agree that it's a bummer all the new cars are so huge.
I've attempted to ride up Los Gatos twice. Both times I had to walk a bit of it. That hill is crazy steep.
I’ve only gone down it. Then around to Rancho California to get out of that valley.
How often do you ride? I hope you're on a fixie.
A had a Toyota Matrix too, best car ever, ton of space inside. I put 320K miles on mine before I had to retire it.
Like it that you where in my neck of the woods in Temecula.
Don’t know when or where you plan to do a everesting Phil BUT are you likely to do the challenge in the night/dawn for cooler conditions, less traffic and less wind if that a factor.......I’m sure you’ve thought of these anyways?!?! And if you want to come to Ireland you’ll have to be smuggled in.......😀😂😜
Love the slow grind up, then split second blur going down.
I did the #MizMal cycling route, south to north, along the Wild Atlantic Way in Ireland, with Wild Atlantic Cycling. Tremendous cycling! You cannot beat it. I also stayed in Dublin. It was awesome as well! I did cycle the climb where the Everesting Record was set. Great view on the other side!
Please fly to Ireland Phil, we would love to see you.
I’m obsessed with hatchbacks too! 😁 My 2008 Scion tC is still rolling with me and my bike. 🚙 🚲 💨
🥱
The descent was awesome
OK. You got my like at "It's a good sign. Get it?"
Thanks Phil! And thank you for turning me onto Picky Bars. They're great.
That Los Gatos decent is crazy. I’ve driven down it and it’s scary.
I drove up it today, and my car barley could go up it. Full throttle I was going 10 MPH in sport mode.
Temecula - home of many motocross pros, who also train on bicycles. Also, if you're weaving across the road, I'm probably walking. That looks steep!
Nice how they put poles up by the road side, just to make sure it’s certain death when you hit one if you do get it wrong.
Los Gatos hill is near my neck of the woods. I've only scouted it in my car, thus far. It is badass. I hope to make an attempt to climb it on the bike later this year. Just once. Not for 8 hours. ;)
Great stuff, Phil! Got my gaiter today. Thanks!
Dublin ireland and Donegal where the record was completed are world's apart. Most beautiful place in Ireland.
I rode up Gatos on a tandem with a strong partner up front! I never looked up, just turned the pedals.
you should find a rollercoaster and just coast up and down, bit of pedaling. i wonder if you have to have your bike on a road. make it go on a roller coaster track with attachments and you could ride that.
Got my cookie gator today! Wore it in honor of the Phil
I admit I was an early adopter of "You have a car?" but we are all just showing support for your bike-based gnarliness.
Come look in the Bay Area. San Carlos had a few nightmare hills. Plus a ton of other mister hills.
I want to see the Ireland video! Of course I do ☺️☘️
Those sharp curves, no bueno when exhausted. I think you should go to Ireland. It would make for quite a few good videos.
pro tip: check the KOM/QOM and look at their altitude data. Don't rely on Strava's random data of the person who defined the segment in 2009.
Phil, I wanna see more descents!!
Look at Lincoln Gap in VT- it's 2 miles at >16% with pretty even gradient
The road is super narrow and the descent is very dangerous, with tight and off-camber corners that you can't really fly down safely. Doesn't seem like a good choice.
Any time your car gets broken into or towed, have that baby detailed as soon as you get it back.
You had me at “a good sign”
Just got back from LAX. Traffic was damn good for LA today.
OMG that BB noise🤪 or chain rub would make me insane, but maybe it helps you pace when your alone 😜
Do have any footage of you cycling the roads here in Ireland 🇮🇪
I dunno Phil, descending Los Gatos--those telephone/power poles so close to the road--one wrong move and SPLAT!
I still have a Matrix. It's old but so reliable.
Los Gatos is crazy steep I had to do paperboy technique to get to the top.
Fifty plus adventures Zigzagging 👍🏻
Your bike will fit inside the hatchback. BB creak? Got to fix that!
Can you do a video on your car bike rack? Never seen one with suction cups before.
seasucker is the name brand, I've seen them advertised a lot, but never seen them in person. I also think Phil should do a lil review of them!
It would be nice if you'd do some time on the TdF and team/race strategy. What do the pro riders think about the dorks that run beside them? The crowds?
Would it be easier for you to put your bike rack over to one side of the car rather than in the middle? Seems like it would be easier to reach 🤷🏻♂️
nice to see that even a $8k roadbike can have a creaky bb
Dude I thought the same exact thing
That hill is in my neighborhood, Temecula!! Drove down in my truck, breaks were smoking at the bottom of the hill. Lol!! Jk
Get yourself over to Mamore Gap 🇮🇪
Your an inspiration and I look up to you every day keep doing what you love bro❤️
that first road requires disk brakes for you because you riding dirty down Los Gatos rd....anyways keep up the good work!
Get yourself to Ireland.Plenty of steep ones! Ask Ronan.☘️🇮🇪
“It’s 9%, not steep enough.” OK
That's critical to the strategy, maybe your not aware. Elevation gain has to be grades 12%+ to get the right el. gain based on time spent doing it to beat the record. Otherwise, hard to know what the heck your point is other than to suggest you weren't up to speed on key Everesting strategy.
Last K of Tramline Rd in Palm Springs
Phil Gaimon's Road Trips .. sounds good? New Series ? 😂😂👍
Camino San Rafael is also called Happy Birthday Hill.
Congrats on that video! Is that the time spent with the VC or how did you improve your videos that quickly?
Awesome to watch, maybe angle the side camera ond the uphill differently, looks funny thiugh.
Just ride from Bishop to the top of White Mountain 3 times via Silver Canyon road and White Mountain Road, you will need a gravel bike...and body armor for the descent.
Come to Ireland Phil, we have the best hills! 🇮🇪
I shouldn't have laughed at the "Good sign" pun, but I did
I didn't get the pun :( haha
Phil, Could you stage some flag people near those corners on Los Gatos to hold up green or red flags so you can use the entire road when green lighted? Good luck.
So Everesting is for a certain amount of time on a hill? I will do, like i did today Six mile canyon road, Virgina City, NV. It has a 14% for at least one mile...but most of the road is like 6 to 10...
Dude, when are you finally going to rip the current record appart? We all want you to succeed, go Phil!
He won't rip the Irish record apart too easy.
The Toyota Matrix is one of the greatest hatchbacks ever made.
Legendary
Workout tip: do an interval for everytime Phil says 'thing"
to me, that's a terrifying sign
Hey phil just wanna say that I love your content and you are insane for going 50 miles on rim brakes
It's not like discs are gonna make you stop faster on a dry day
50 mph on rim brakes is fine, if you're worried about doing 50mph, disc brakes aren't going to save you
Hagi that is probably true
All in on the gofund me for the new leatherman tool...lol!
i heard theres going to be a real measuring of everest... all those records might no longer be valid after
URock Phil. China and Nepal is about to do a new measurement of the Everest. Do u plan to be the first to do the new correct Everesting ?
haha, that would be so epic...get record because all other records are invalidated!
Fuck dude, VC has no house, the nice legion gentleman has no wallet or ID, someone broke into your car... prayers and love to y'all three! (and VC's family)
haha, good man, Phil. shout out from saudi!
BMW i3 in the background, one of like 3 sold in the US I believe.
Not that uncommon in coastal Southern California
What style drop handle bar do you run? I love the way it looks
Some Fred is gonna be pissed his local climb isn't actually as steep as he thought.
What is creaking there? Uhh
Do you mean the brake squeal of cork brake pads on carbon rims?
@@estelja no. at 5:33 that creak can be one of many things. Loose wheels/quick-release skewer, handle bars, seatpost, crankset rings or the bottom bracket. (list of most->least common creaks)
Marginal losses! Gonna add up...
@@Ben-sx5xb Also could be cross chained.
@@Ben-sx5xb that's a press fit BB. I'd put that at the top of the list of culprits.
Four suction cups? Never had good luck with suction cups.
Perhaps you should write this one off (because, let's face it, you're not going to get this record) and instead chase around looking for the perfect hill....and never quite finding it. Like Goldilocks and the porridge/beds etc. Anyway, it could be a funny sub plot. The final episode will see you flying to Ireland, with a huge build up, and then as you are heading to the hill, realising you've forgotten your bike! The episode could also involve Guinness, and a meme that Guinness and coffee and cookie loving cyclists from California don't mix very well (we've seen your car, now let's see you drunk!!!). But everesting record....you know it isn't happening!!! That one is too fast. Way too fast. Nevertheless, it's always fun watching whatever you get up to. :-)
Way to be snarkily supportive 🙄
@@justinjewell1043 Actually, I genuinely think Phil hasn't got a cat in hell's chance of getting this record. It is far too fast. Many of his more significant KOM's are ageing badly, showing that he is far from the fastest person uphill any more, even against other amateurs, and more embarrassingly, sometimes against.....triathletes!!! But seriously, the current everesting record is brutally fast. People are underestimating how good it is, perhaps because the holder is a relative unknown. Of course, Phil can make fun videos about trying (and failing) to get the record. Which is the point of his channel.
@@winstoncat6785 Ugh indulge the troll. No one is underestimating how good the record time is. It was promptly stolen from Contador, who'd promptly stole it from Lachlan. Old pro vs young. Phil is somewhere in between, I suppose, and plenty capable of putting in the effort if you've watched any of his videos or scoured his countless KOMs. He's never stopped his personal training and staying fit, and he doesn't have the baggage of world touring or basically any sort of sanctioned racing holding him back. And that's a plus because he can be leisurely about how he decides to steal this KOM, as he generally is. Anyway, you're being dismissive and argumentative and I get it because everything in our current society is polarized and must be boiled down to "my side's right, your's is wrong."he'llfail so you can say "see I told you so!" you'rechadenfreuderecord...or not. I hope he does because he seems like a nice guy and I enjoy watching him succeede. With a Everesting record like this, unachievable is relative, and neither you nor I could ever hope to compete with what Phil is going for. So maybe take a step back and stop being a judgmental little bitch and just try and enjoy life and the people who provide you with free content for fuck's sake...
@@justinjewell1043 I'm not quite sure you're in the right thread for these kinds of discussions. I suggested Phil will not get this record and gave my reasons why. If you think that makes me a troll and I'm being argumentative and dismissive, may I suggest you try to get out more?
@@winstoncat6785 You're rude to the person who hosts this RUclips channel by assuming you're better than them in the sense that you magically know the outcome of the record they seek regardless: "let's face it, you're not going to get this record." It's arrogant and explaining or even joking with a stranger about why they'll fail can never not be construed as at least somewhat mean-spirited. Phil's not going to get it because Winston says so, is I assume the way your mind works. Must be true! That is what makes you a troll. I didn't watch this video and ever have a moment where I felt like I should voice my opinion on how impossible the challenge is or why he shouldn't bother and do something else like pretend to forget his bike.
Nice WHOOP strap! Give us an update!
What brand and model bike rack is that???
Might want to wait for china and Nepal to measure the height of Everest again. I hear it might be changing.
Do you have a code for SeaSucker? They are American company, no, based off Florida? I wonder why does their online story show all the prices in pounds and big warning about duties/customs etc.
@5:00 Is that your bottom bracket or your knees?
I was wondering the same thing. That doesn't sound good.
Doesnt have to be the bb, could also be pedals
@tbone1337 that's 100% bottom bracket
Have to get Safa Brian to bomb this hill!
8 hours in the dead of winter.... make sure you have enough total daylight
Just saw that you have the vacuum system of bike rack. What brand you reccomend? Or you use?
It’s seasucker. They have a double one as well
What's up with your bike? Squeaking pretty bad uphill
Press fit BB
Matrix GANG
Is that a giant pump bottle of hand sanitizer?
Jesus! It is!! and the mask earlier... you would think a breathing machine like this would be a little less afraid...
Is that the world's most expensive bicycle saddle you're using, Phil?
Come on over
Anyone know what kind of Mavic helmet he wears. I really like the way it looks!!
It’s the comete
@@worstretirementever omg you answered me yourself! I'm screenshoting this and saving it for life! Thank you sir!
What sunglasses are those?
What is that creak noise! cleat? bb?
Bottom bracket, it's a press fit
Temecula is NOT the desert.
True, but really most of SoCal is semi-desert.
Make your own segment of just the part that is steep.
You can't trust Strava's gradients. I compute them myself when assembling cycling stats (elevation/distance). The bad values from Strava have wasted a lot of my time.
"Whoooops" you meant on the fact you were braking 😂
Yea! I said "uh-oh" out loud watching this just before that caption popped on the screen. Lucky for Phil there didn't happen to be a car (or other cyclist) coming up the hill on that blind turn. That would have left a mark.
I lived right near Los Gatos and it is not the correct climb.. too much braking on the decent. Why don't you post the ideal grade & length and let the crowd help in your search? if you are looking for a 3 minute climb, this is a good one. Couser Canyon Road Climb
9% on the big ring? good lord
Right?
Meanwhile I’m spinning 34/34 lol
@@RoadconePhoto yeah i can do 34 25 at 9% but absolutely no way i could 50 21 at 9%
Hey Phil, why don't you just take the information about your ideal climb to Strava, Garmin, USGS, or Cal DOT and ask them to do a Geographic Information System (GIS) search for it? Might save you from driving all over.
That's a good way to start, but I'd imagine some parameters will be tough to tease out (straightness/safety of descent for one)
