Gibralter Rd KOM Try

Al Truscott

Gibraltar Road out of Santa Barbara was climbed in the 2016 EN Tour Of California camp. Those who were there know it's a long slog at a steep gradient. They witnessed that day the top 7 times on the KOM list for the climb. That group of cyclists was led out for the first 20 minutes (of a 28 minute climb) by recently retired pro Phil Gaimon. Phil has been doing a series of videos where he goes after Strava KOMs of iconic climbs - Mt Diablo, Mt Palomar, Mt Lemmon, Mt Mitchell, and now his latest effort, Gibralter Rd. Watch this instead of one of those boring sprint stages in the TdF, which are like a regular season NBA game =- you really only have to watch the last two minutes of those.

Where did his arms go?! If you showed me this this picture I would guess cancer. That's textbook sarcopenia. Just saying.

Thanks for posting this show. I've enjoyed them. He still has some crazy power!

while maybe only the last 2 minutes matters, the chat in the car with Michael Muhney is priceless.
