    Thanks for all of your awesome coverage of Mt Washington. I did it for the first time this year what an amazing experience. For anyone similar to me I'm a 54 year old female around 3.1 w/kg rider and my setup was a single 26 chainring and 11-34 cassette, with this gearing the climb was tough but manageable.

    • @isomerize
      @isomerize 2 роки тому +4

      Same here, first time with a 26t 1x and 11-32 in the rear. I found it more tough than manageable, but I managed to tough it out.

      I never even heard of this ride until coincidentally my family and I took the train to the top the same morning as this year’s annual ride. Now I feel inspired to try it next year. I just need to figure out how to train for it.

    There are a lot of questions about JPOW and what he's up to. I was lucky enough to run into him yesterday and he joined me for a fun MTB ride on drop bar bikes this morning. He's full time working for Woop marketing/consulting and says that there will be some more GCN content coming out in the future. If you're wondering, Jeremy has mad/insane bike skills and rides the woods with teenager abandon. He was joking about riding the hill race at 200 watts, add 100 to that. His GCN content is absolutely some of their best and he is a genuine nice guy to hang with.

    A 1:1 ratio seems to be the go to set up for riders looking to win Mt Washington. If you know you're not going to win, gear yourself well under 1:1. You both got it right!

    Great stuff
    Love the bike nerd details. I set up my Cannondale with a straight bar, with single thumbie, single front ring and a cassette with only the 4 lowest cogs. I use a 26" wheel on the front both because it's lighter and the forward angle makes climbing more comfortable. IIRC, it was right on 11lbs

    Loved all the videos re; Mt Washington. I’m sure you got this comment from many others but I didn’t want to waste time reading them all to make sure this wasn’t a duplicate…but any modern Shimano road derailleur 11 or 12 speed will work with your 34T chainring and 11-34 cassette. Nothing wrong with XTR of course but DA is a little lighter. FYI only, great video!

    Also why do you need an XTR derailleur for an 11-34? Is it lighter than the GRX 810 which would be compatible with road shifters without tanpan? I run my GRX der with an 11-40 with no modifications save for the B limit

      Yeah part of it is that, even in isolation, riding back down would be pretty crazy, but on most summer days there are lines of cars coming up and down the mountain so there's not much room for bikes. The only two days per year you can ride it is the practice ride and the race.
