Just blame those gravel tyres. That's like 20W right there! Seriously though man good for you, 1. for doing it and 2. for uploading it. That attitude will only get you fitter. You can tell you've never done an ice bath before with how fearlessly you got in that hahaha
@chrisko643920 күн бұрын
Yes, 20W is my estimation also.

Congratulations on being invited. Netflix would be smart to bring you on for some voice-over work for the next season or for some cameo/analysis. As for the ride, I think that you definitely won the neutral roll-out!

Benji, everyone is at a different place in their fitness and everyone has the same feelings you did about someone else in their life. The important thing is you’re out there pushing yourself to get better-keep it up sir!

You are such a huge inspiration! You are one of the reasons I "dared" to buy a roadbike along with my MTB since everyone else around me are 60kg people that thinks everything under 75K is a joyride. I'm 43 and prolly weigh 15kg too much but watching you push yourself IRL and in Zwift have been a big motivation :) Congrats on a cool experience!

It’s all because of the gravel tires Benji! Climbed the Mont Netflix to, just not from Malmedy but inside a 123km tour with just a little more climbing (just shy of 2000hm) the weekend after. I just wish I had an icebath to recover and not a train ride home

I am sort of glad I rode up there alone. In a group I probaby would have finished last, Strava confirms this. The final part of the climb does feel long. Also I felt some underlying terror because I thought the final Netflix-built ascend would be much steeper 😊 Thanks for the video, if someone asks me about the experience, I finally can show them some good images 😅 Envious of the jersey!!

Just remember Benji. You are actually participating. A lot of people would physically not be able to do that. Can’t change what happened yesterday, but you have already improved massively and if you keep pushing it will only get better. So cool that you are able to do these challenges, as a big guy, trying to improve health wise myself, I know how humbling it can be

Well done. Remember: comparison is the thief of joy (to some extend). There will always be someone fitter, faster, better... but u did it, enjoyed it, had fun. So, a W for you. If I with 90+ kg would compare myself to all these hip, young, fit individuals on roadbikes, well, i would be depressed i guess ;D But, i dont. I have fun, and step by step getting fitter and faster along the way. And so should everyone.
