#cycling #groupride
I have met and ridden with this guy ^ Cycling Virgin. He is an absolute class act of a human and cyclist. I am a fairly competitive amateur triathlete but still green in cycling (specifically in the fast group rides featured on this channel) in terms of skills and strategy to "win" climbs and sprints. What you see on the channel is what you get in real life. Rather than bragging about he is smoking most people on climbs and sprints during these rides, he would rather give people advise on how they can do better and improve their own cycling. In my experience this is pretty rare amongst competitive athletes. Happy to see these videos back, and makes me excited to jump in these rides again as well! Cheers, and support the channel!!
It's true man. You have the gift to inspire others. Keep up the good work!
Dude, You helped me go to the weekly Gainey rides. I used to be afraid about being dropped...I went, got dropped a couple times and now my fitness is up and I’m taking pulls on the climbs and finishing with the top guys. Nice to see you back. Hope I see you on the road soon.
Love your videos! My mom lives by the PV mall, and I make it out there a couple times a year. I live in Illinois, went to ASU in the 80’s. I always stop and shop at the Haus, have never run into you, just missed you once. I’m 51 and my life has changed immensely in the past few years. Lost 80 lbs through riding, and do it as often as I can. May God bless you in your new endeavors, I’m sure you will succeed in what ever you choose to do. Patients is the key! I look forward to more videos, because you are knowledgeable and a gifted athlete. Take care
RG! So good to see you again man, have truly missed you. Was afraid you were done riding and gone to cars exclusively! Thank goodness for the archives with solid advice and hard-hitting baselines :) Sounds like an exciting time for you personally, and I'm happy for you. Certainly hope to see more vids, but we all fully understand there are many other more important (and less time-consuming) endeavors to devote yourself to. So we'll take what we can get - good to see your smile again, it's contagious!
Just so you know, you have helped me to lose weight. I love the video you did on weight loss and I’ve lost over 50lbs this year. I still have a long way to go, but you’ve definitely helped me. Thanks
Thats great to hear Toby keep it up and so will I!
I feel your pain Bro. I’m an older guy and used to ride and race in CA back in the mid 80’s and then life hit and started having kids and moving all over the country for work. It was not until about 2007 and weighing in at about 250 that I got back on the bike. I started with a MS 150 ride and ended up down to 175 and racing rode and cyclocross. I was away from the house a lot racing…never was really good at it but I did enjoy the racing and my club friends. Well life struck again and I’ve been off the bike for a couple of years. Your video may has inspired me to get back my bikes again now that life has settled back down. I appreciate it.
Thank you for sharing your story Mark great to hear you are going to get back at it! Keep us updated on the progress.
Totally understand this one... I'm 37 and have a daughter and wife, my girls live here in Scottsdale and I'm working in Los Angeles right now. Literally only have 15 miles under my legs in 2019. Wish I had a lot more, but responsibilities call. 2 hours on the bike just isn't feasible anymore. Hope it all works out for you Ricky.
Thanks Will! All the best to you and the family
Family, a better home...and riding your bike. All good stuff, Ricky. Nice vid, thanks. Good luck @ BOS this Saturday. Hey, maybe you'll surprise yourself, ya never know!
Hey Bob great to hear from you! Thank you very much and I will get it hell on Saturday and see what happens!
2 months is an eternity.
Welcome back CV !
Thank you for your video. Is inspiring me to keep going.
Welcome back! Just got started cycling myself and like how you approach your videos from a 'new guy' perspective. It gives me a lot of encouragement to not feel so out of place for being a noob. I love your idea to document your climb back and to let us be part of maybe getting dropped Saturday. I'll be watching!!
Man i miss your vids bro.
I was wondering, nice to see you posting again
Welcome back! Once that muscular/ cardio memory kicks in you'll be good to go!
My dude! Keep up the great work! You and Myles have been nothing short of awesome to me everytime I come in!
fuck. yes. can not wait to watch more of your videos buddy. welcome back!
You've inspired me to get back on the bike!!
I love hearing this Brandon. Great to see your channel doing so well!
Dude! Where have you been!? Excited to see you're back
Thanks Mr. H its good to be back!
Glad you post again mate! Follow you from the start! Regards from Ecuador
Welcome back Spider-Man! Lol. Seriously though, glad to see you back man! I hit a little riding slump myself after a heat exhaustion scare in August but getting back to it now with some Trainer Road work and occasional ride outside. Always look forward to your motivating content!
Great to have you in our community Todd and thank you for the kind words!
Ricky, so glad to see and hear you are OK. That's the main thing. I was truthfully worried about you. Love you man.
Thanks Steve lets ride together soon!
Just got done making an account to support you on patreon!
Thank you very much Franco its great to have you as part of the community!
Glad you are back, will be watching 👍🏻✌🏻
Just restarted training a few days ago after two months off as well. 20% drop in ftp. But just over the first few workouts my cardio has recovered a lot. HR is down 20 bpm in the first few similar rides. It does come back quickly.
Hey Mitchell good to hear from you! Yes we will snap back to it fast!
Welcome back, Condo is looking good!
Thank you Hampton!
You're alive!
and it feels great!
💙👍
Start a coaching company. You have the perfect platform for it.
Hmmm, I would need to continue my education in a direction that would help with physio and diet first but not a bad idea. Thanks for comment and being part of the channel!
Funny I been Re watching your vids recently and boom you back haha COOL!
Welcome back man! I don’t know how I didn’t realize your were a fellow Arizonian! Hope to drop some lbs and join you some day!
Yeah for sure. Shoot me a DM when you want to join a group ride!
Specialized Power? How good is it! love both of mine
Your alive 🤟
Wow, I was just watching some of your old videos and wondering what happened, and if you had sold your Tarmac.
See I'm the total opposite... Wife and I have 2 young daughters (4 and 8 month old), we both work, and we spend lots of time together and do fun family things.... But I still have time to ride because the wife and I MAKE THE TIME TO RIDE.... She knows that riding is my release, my escape, and my outlet to just get away for a little. I feel as though riding makes me a better person to be around. I totally understand having busy lives and priorities GOTTA be in line, but I personally never believe it when somebody says that they don't have the time to ride. During the warm months, I'm outta the house by 7am on the weekends and I have easily 3, 4, or sometimes even 5 hours that I can ride and then the whole rest of the day is for everything else. Like you always say, life is short. SUPER short in comparison to the universe's age. We as humans need to be able to have our outlets and ways to escape. I'm not saying taking breaks isn't good because it totally is good to do... But if somebody stops riding for extended periods I believe it's because they are choosing not to ride.... Not because they don't have the time.
I love to hear this. I will never stop riding my bike thats for sure, working on getting my balance correct will take some time. Everyone is different in how that can manage there time and focus, for me and I am sure others that focus needs to shift to other things now and again. I guess I also need to work on just riding to ride, and drop some of the training/competitive side for a change. That may help me keep my focus on other aspects while still being on the bike consistently.
Ok
Welcome back. I heard you talk about your knee pain. I'm finally back to pain free riding after about 10 months of dealing with pain on the outside of my knee associated with the IT band. I found this guys videos and they REALLY helped even after seeing a local PT failed. ua-cam.com/users/cyclingphysiosearch?query=medius They are cycling specific and explain the pitfalls of overcompensation coming from the front of the hip. Maybe they can help you too? -Cheers
Thanks B.J I will take a look. Thanks for being part of the community!
