Looks like this guy also took the Haleakala KOM yesterday. 4 min over Mike Woods isn’t nothing.
Nearly 5w/kg for 2 hours and 24 minutes
Ouch
And he confirms my theory that if you wanna be good cyclist you have to start with rowing ![]()
Is Mike Woods a pro cyclist?
Not so pro, only some wins on stages during Grand Tours, second in Liege Baston Liege.
And a sub 4 min mile, no bigs.
Blimey - that is pretty incredible ![]()
Piuma and Latigo are both nice. Yerba is also good, but my preference back when I lived there was Deer Creek off PCH and then left onto Yerba. Deer Creek is quieter and steeper.
The pavement on Deer Creek used to be a turnoff for me, but after they paved it recently it’s been fantastic.
Speaking of KOM’s. “ Patios” in Bogota, is one of the most coveted KOM’s in the world. It got broken this week. Cookie Gaimon tried his hand at it a while ago as well.
Here’s a video of the effort.
I used to spend nearly every weekend climbing one or more of those hill… but the last time was 2003 so some things may have changed…
Somebody will flag it ![]()
Thats absolutely insane and world class. Where did you find out his FTP?
It’s on his Strava, if that’s anything to go by, but I suspect it could be even higher after seeing the video.
Yeah guys a beast
