It was the smile of "Ha, I just got my ass handed to me and I'm not even mad. That was very impressive!"

This was fun to watch, way to go EJ! I couldn't hit 1500w if bears were chasing me on an e-bike!

Bears are terrifyingly fast. I don't think they need an e-bike to catch up to anyone.

"Cycling dad"! I Love it!! :D Also, congratulations on the win! That's amazing! Kinda hard to beat a 1500-watt sprint. Still, I'm sure it's nice to see all of the months of dedicated training pay off.

@andrewfehrsen Жыл бұрын
@@dpcater 1500 isn't totally crazy, but all depends on weight as you say. Also, 1500W randomly on the watt bike (that's stationary and you don't have to worry about crashing the thing) and doing 1500W at the end of half an hour of hard riding (actually did it twice) are very different things

That’s very inspiring! I am a 61 year old cyclist, and I’ve never raced, but quite honestly, this whole process (from couch to today) is really giving me motivation to try race once in a while. Great job and it was truly fun to watch this whole series of videos leading up to today.

Even more inspiring is to see a 61 year old getting motivated to try racing! If THIS doesn’t motivate you, nothing will! :) Also, great job EJ!

Thanks! I’m a long time cyclist.. I do a lot of group and endurance type rides. Watching EJ take this on was really fun to watch. I didn’t think he’d only need one race to do it. LoL. I was thinking he’d maybe go a whole season before winning.

Enjoy the ride EJ. I still remember my first public cat, and Cat V race wins from the early 90s (first-year the UCSF introduced the Cat V), and they are fond memories that I've carried into my 50s. I also continue some friendships I made with my former team members and even still ride with a few. None of us had power meters, GPS computers, digital cameras, etc. in the 90s and only have our minds to hold these memories; you'll be able to relive this moment and many more others with your friends and possibly children when you're in your 50s.
