Yup, looks like he shaved 2min off of the record. Official fastest time is 7:29:57. Sheesh!
Legend. Such a stud.
Haha! I like his style. Lachlan is my new role model.
I think Lachlan is now trolling Phil Gaimon … Phil only just posted his video on why Lachlan’s first attempt didn’t count, and now Phil has to make another one explaining that actually Lachlan now does officially have the record after all…
Phil must be really broken up about having another easy video to do.
Here’s the latest from the women’s side:
And its been broken again
Damn. Guess Lachlan is gonna have to go for it a 3rd time!
13% and long. Just a Few repeats. Looks like hard way to do it. Her write up shows why she was a pro rider, no shortage of HTFU resilience,
He’s more confident that he can beat the 1st place guy than the 2nd place guy…???
Oh well. Everyone has their thing.
Apparently Phil’s FTP is 404 and he did his record at ~290 watts.
I don’t know about that, I heard it was 403.
The title of this thread is starting to get pretty stale. Haha. I love it.
That is about an hour knocked off the record in three months. That is amazing.
Also peak British hill climb style bike, with chopped bars, bodged single ring, modified cassette, no bottle cages.
Imagine he would have broken 7 hours with a bit of drillium…
372 Tower ramps…i cant even imagine
I haven’t seen any posts about Emma’s article on CyclingTips. I read it when it came out, but since I haven’t seen it here, I thought it should be shared.
And… while this isn’t a record, it’s still really impressive.
