Hey folks, experimenting with different types of video. In this one I am in the hills with the Go Pro. Happy to hear your comments about video and if you want more outside riding videos. 👍

Cycling and conveying messages almost in a poetic way. You coach are a master 🙌

Coach, I love climbing! That is, I love watching others climb. Before you reached the plateau, you appeared to be grinding it out at - from what I could estimate - 55-60rpm, on the big ring and a middle cog. I’m a bigger rider (also older) and I would absolutely blow up with that setup. Always entertaining and good humoured! Cheers!

This is perfect timing!!! 🚴🏻‍♀️ 🏔 Thank you!!

Passion is Passion, keep 'em coming Kinetic Cycle!

Great video and being outside on the bike makes it realistic. Excellent tips and interestingly I have recently been pushing some harder gears up my usual hill climbs and seeing some real benefits. Thanks and keep up the good work - much appreciated.

Love your videos, they are all so helpful!

Hi. I live in New Zealand (and have Scottish ancestors so every time I hear your accent somethin inside me sorta triggers, in a good way), and I am 140KG. Gravity and I dont get along. Yes, I could lose some weight, but considering I have gone down from 220KG, and been this weight for 6-8 years, its probably about where I will end up. I am still allergic to hills, but what I do now is I have 2 bikes, a cheap commutery type thing with compact crankset and a decent size big cog on the cluster, and a a roadie with full size gears. I do about 3 rides a week, 2 shorter ones and one long one. On the short ones I primarily ride up some hills with 13% sections using the commuter. Then on the weekends I combine all the hills in one longer ride on the roadie. I find that this works well, I dont blow out during the week (i'm also 55yr old, so recovery is slow), and then I find I can push the big gears a bit more. I'm going to apply some of the stuff you have said here as well and see how I go.

appreciate your take on this, super appreciate

I like your style of passing infos. Keep on going and thanks for your effort.

What a beautiful country to ride in! One thing that helps me is to do big hill days when it’s (somewhat) cold and rainy. It sounds miserable, but nothing stokes the metabolic furnace like a hard climb. It’s reverse psychology - I find myself dreading the wind chill of fast descents and eagerly anticipating big hills!

It doesn’t get any better than climbing.So good,I love it!by the way these videos are really 😎.Awesome,keep it up.

As professional as ever Scott !!

Took a while, but hills, I love them. Absolute favorite.

Thanks Coach.....it's beautiful where you're riding ! Peace

Informative, interesting and entertaining. Spot on! 👍

Climbing with one hand on the bars and the other taking the video....that is talent!!

Thank you !

Love this 👌

Wrong side of 70 I now love hills thanks to my MTB Ebike its great to enjoy the countryside without puffing and blowing for tugs or breaking sweat.

My tip, make sure you have adequate bail out gearing before your hilly adventure in case your fatigue gets the better of you. A 36 cassette is a good place to start.

Another great video, good to see the country side

Thanks for sharing mate. Nice climb. If you are ever in the US hudson Valley region look me up I'll take you on some beautiful climbs here. Be safe and ride on 🙏

love this video.. my best thing was switch from from a 26 to a 28.

Great format and amazing scenery! I thought you were going to talk about using hills for interval work. I've got a climb close to my home that I use for that purpose. I find it easier to hold a target wattage on a hill than on the flats. Any thoughts on that. Otherwise thanks for the other useful tips.

its not everyday I see a video and recognise the hills and village in it xD You took that climb a lot better than I do, I'll be sure to take you tips :D

Spent nearly 2 and a half hours on a hybrid Saturday. It was tricky to get any speed but my Garmin told me that I had some record climbing even though I didn’t encounter any major climbs. It made a difficult ride worthwhile.

Hell climbing! I love your accent!! 😃👍

Should you try to keep cadence as comfortable as possible? Many people seem to suggest “spin to win”. To keep your power reserves available and to average/pace it out over the entire climb.

excellent

To be a better climber go out and climb more ! 👍😉

At the end of the day, Watts are Watts, so climbing up a hill at x Watts is really no harder than the same Watts on the flats. The difference is that up a hill you don't get the opportunity to freewheel/coast. So psychologically maybe thinking this way can make hills feel easier

Coach thanks for video,have race uphill 14km avg 7% grade in May,trying to train on my short climb 5km for it,any fast tip

i cycle to work every day and there's a little slope that I called my little "slope of hell'. by the time I'm at the top, I'll be almost out of breath. I always remind myself to take full breath in and out. lol :p

What's the best type of turbo sessions to do for climbing. I have been doing sustained intervals above threshold at low cadences. Off to the Alps soon I need every watt per KG I can get.

Some of my group 😉 complain 😆 too many hills ! Oh dear, jessys !

It never gets easier, and I never seem to get faster. But as long as I dont push Its still a win.

While climbing show pedal strokes and the bike

Very accurate "HELL CLIMBING"

Surely that’s just a speed bump in Scotland

Sorry for mentioning it, Scott, but I believe your helmet is worn incorrectly (it is too high, so it doesn't protect your forehead). BTW, your content is great, I am addicted :)

Indonesia Subtitle please..😁🇲🇨

By the sound of that crank on that climb, I’m gonna guess you’re riding a Cannondale?

good for a photographer not for a cyclist

Hi, good advice but please try not to sound like Sean Connery so hard 😎

Be skinny AF!
