Did you do the Rapha 500 over the Christmas period?
did Rapha 800kms!
Nice work @@ironian07
not this year as I was drinking beer / watching cross in Belgium :-). Work to do now though !
Nice video. I was able to stop work at 55, took up road cycling then and have had a better last 13 years (now 68) than the previous 13, which were pretty tough. Now finding competing priorities (but good ones, like helping my kids and grandkids ❤) affecting my cycling, but I wouldn’t be able to do some of those things now if I hadn’t stayed fit and well in the meantime. 👍
Hey Simon, I’m 56 and took up cycling 11mths ago. Best I’ve felt in years and I swear it’s like turning back the clock. Still think there is a long way to go and I’m looking forward to putting in the effort. Off in my first bike travel this week to TDU.
Love your message and that video is superb. 👌
Thank you. Keep on keeping on 🚴♂️💨
Congrats!!! I took it up at 60 ( now 62). Painful first summer only to discover I had dreaded prostate cancer 😮. Got operated and biking has been the most amazing form of getting fitter than I've been in decades.
@@robdrelich8563 glad your on the recovery trail and back on the bike feeling good. 😎
So glad I came across your channel. Love the inspiration.
Thank you. 😎
Some great motivation right there before we hit the deep freeze in canada
Another great video, Simon - thanks! I find your content to be inspirational as well as informative, and I'm very much on the same page as you. At 56, I'm still pushing myself on the bike and in the gym to help increase my healthspan, not just my lifespan (Peter Attia talks a lot about this in his book, 'Outlive'). Because I'm training smarter and harder than I did in my 20s and 30s (as well as eating better), I don't notice any real performance loss compared to then, and I'm happy to see that I'm still getting fitter and stronger. Looking forward to more great videos!
Thank you love PA work 😎
Great video..I agree with you keeping fit as we get older is a must..I'm 60 and like to think I'm quite fit but out of the blue was hospitalised a year ago which knocked a lot of my confidence about life...All that training over the years, then bang, you're not as fit as you think you are!! So ATM I just try and keep the fitness I have.
What camera were you using there, were you descending with an invisible selfie stick?
I use the insta 360 in these videos. The editing options are 🤯 using a smart phone.
Ps. Hope you are keeping fit 😎
@@veloperformance Simon what insta360 is it,that's what I'm looking to buy and how do you get the camera pointing at you when descending, an invisible selfie stick. I'm keeping ok now thanks, I get some flare ups which I can handle. Hard training sessions cause flare ups so it's mostly zone 2 I do so I'll probably plateau soon lol
Insta 360 x 3 and a selfie stick which the 360 deletes. You do all the editing in the app after. So you ride with it out front and then worry about how you want it to look later. The app makes it super easy. PS add strength training into the mix a few times a week that should help keep you strong and fast up hills and maintain good average pace. @@davestewartDWCC
@@veloperformance Thanks for that...Yeh I started strength training last month after watching another clip of yours, and am enjoying it 👍
Tut tut, ALWAYS carry cash in Spain, especially when using those lovely little family restaurants. 🤣🤣🤣
PS: Another great ride down there is Sierra de Espuna. Gorgeous climb and scenery out of Alhama de Murcia. You won't regret it.
I know 🙈 won’t happen again 😎🚴♂️💨
Great video Simon , always inspiring, so important to make time for yourself and Calpey looks awesome!
Thank you Chris. Calp is a great destination to aim for on a 🚴♂️💨
I had a similar no cash experience in Switzerland. Wasnt heading back that way anytime soon so popped some cash in an envelope and mailed it in.
That’s so cool. Nice one 😎
Absolutely amazing video!!!! Thank you for the inspiring words .. always!! As well as the continual help and knowledge! When are you hosting a training camp??
Thank you. Thinking of Girona end of year.
love video 👍and message, I live like that 😊,...but for 90% people it's easier to find excuse instead just doing 🤷♂️...go to Spain on week 7😊
Thank you. Where are you off to?
Altea 🌞🌞🌞🤞🤞🤞
Amazing. Have fun. That’s not far from Calp.
I like the idea of the video. Keep riding and exercising as you get older. Great message. But cycling as well as many other activities has a problem. It's the airmiles they use. Flying is very polluting. I like to ride in the warm as much as anyone, but another video from a flyaway locaiton doesn't help. I'm going to Malaga in March; by train. Yes it takes longer and costs more. But it's the right thing to do. If more people did the same the cost would come down.
How's the training plan going for the Suisse thing this year??
Early days but all moving in the right direction. Will make a progress video soon.
how did you get hincapie to ride with you;)
Age should always be 'just a number'.
Nice vid. I almost went to Calpe for the first time , the week before Xmas, but was lazy and went for Majorca instead (which was quiet / great as usual). How do they compare to you ? (where Objective is good weather / good training roads)
First time there. Weather was clear and sunny each day and hit 16/18 degrees most days. 6deg in the am though. Love Mallorca I feel though this is a better playground for routes.
