NOW WITH DATA OVERLAY: Worst Retirement Ever Special Feature - Rendezvous LA

NOW with much-requested data overlay for all the bike dorks out there, courtesy of our bruh the Vegan Cyclist:    / @thevcadventures   In an homage to the 1976 French short film showing a high-speed drive through Paris on a Sunday morning, film creator Michael Piccirilli put a camera and a microphone onto Phil Gaimon when he took the record for Nichols Canyon, one of the most coveted segments on the West Coast. Watch Phil's difficult uphill effort, suffering for 10 minutes at 465 watts for a Strava segment in his "Worst Retirement Ever," juxtaposed with the beauty of Los Angeles when the city is just waking up. Note to people concerned about the stop signs in this video: I see your point and don't try this at home, but the many kind folks who ride in LA will vouch that those are there to control the speed of cars going down the hill, and it's incredibly safe to roll them. Also, we were there at 6 in the morning. But call me an asshole. That's fine.
