    Just looked up your time because you didn't mention it and I'm curious because I've ridden Pikes Peak. Holy crap 1:08:46! That's fast. Took me just over 2 hrs.

    Hey Phil, I got to finally visit Colo Springs and rent a bike and ride up Pike's Peak on July 4th for my birthday. Most epic ride ever! 10 out of 10, will climb again.

    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!

    Congratulations, Phil, you are the Champion! I hope nobody tells Fabian. He might start sha-sha-sha-shaking in his boots. And it is great that the duel between you two is on like a neon sign over an old diner on the outskirts of town.

    @mikeburton8426 7 років тому +13

    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 7 років тому +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.

    • @davidglenn6259
      @davidglenn6259 7 років тому +1

      I'm making an attempt in May! Agreed that Phil should climb it.

    • @geoffreyanderson4719
      @geoffreyanderson4719 6 років тому

      Is the climb even bigger at KOM of Taiwan? How big is Haleakala in Maui? Taiwan is like 105KM at about 10%. THat's one hundred five kilometers.

  • @secretagent86
    @secretagent86 3 роки тому

    cool win. i recall standing in a parking lot on mount haleakala on maui. hard to breathe there at 10,000 ft.
    hey Phil, try taking a photo of the cheque to deposit it lmao

    • @Maxwaehrens
      @Maxwaehrens 5 років тому

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