KoS quest is on my calendar

@Rick thanks for that feedback. It is not my favorite but it is bookended with two of my favorites: Power Station and Goat. Maybe swap it with AVDP.

My quest is still a few weeks away so I have time to make any changes. That’s why I posted it now, to get feedback from Knights like yourself.

Thanks again,

Hey @Critmark thats a brutal looking list. Lots of sustained efforts (NOT my favourite being a “sprinter” ). I’m sure this will make GvA very happy. Well, as happy as GvA is capable of on any case.

The idea of ending with The Hunted makes me cramp and vomit at the same time. If it were me, I’d end on DAYT. If it were me, The Hunted and The Wtetched wouldn’t even be on my list, lol!!

Also, given how similar Power Station and GOAT are I might put a bit more space between those two as well.

The thing is, quests are such personal things. What makes sense to one seems nutz to another.

I know you’ll CRUSH it whatever you decide!!

@Glen.Coutts @Critmark That was my initial thought but at #10 it will probably be dialed down to 60 or 65% so maybe that is the best spot for that style of video.

I am pretty sure GvA would approve this.

Hahahah, says the honourable Knight. But it’s true, it’s a very personal choice though.

But hey, I survived Defend-ing as my last ride but it was really a mental game. At one point I was telling myself that I should have listened to you. :wink:

That’s exactly what I did! I started at 70% and after the first effort, I decided to dial it down to 60%

I think one of my next anniversary quests will have to be the “Make @Glen.Coutts Cramp and Vomit Tour” and will definitely have to include: The Hunted, The Wretched, and Defender. :thinking:

Solid plan. Don’t forget to add in Long Scream as a warmup and extra shot as a cool down.

I thought about ending with Butter since at that point it’s all about just churning along. That was my 11th choice, so maybe.

Don’t change it on my account sir. Like I said it’s personal. You know what you like, what you’re capable of and what you’ll feel like after 9ish hours better than anyone.

I have a definite weakness and strong dislike for longer sustained efforts so I’m kinda like Pavlov’s dog with an instinctual gag reaction.

Back when I did mine (before Defender was born) my nemesis was HHNF so I obviously had to include it in my quest Albeit, not at #10 but instead at a respectable #4. That said, I followed that with Local Hero (not my smartest move, lol).

You’ll be fine. It will all be fine.

Edit: I LOVE Butter! That was in mine too!

At least for me personally, I could have placed Butter as one of the 10 rides. TBTITW is certainly not my favourite though.

I would think that having a short one, like less than an hour for both rides 9 and 10 would be a better idea especially for the last ride. Having to ride for more than 50 minutes for the last one is somewhat of an unnecessary suffering. But then again, it’s really a personal choice and you can dial it waaaaaaaay down if you are starting to fade.

Hahaha ending the quest with Defender wasn’t the wisest choice. Your foresight was right Sir Glen!

But let’s just say, it’s too late regret it now :rofl:

You mean like riding Cobbler at #11 at 55% intensity? Lol

I was quite close to dialing the intensity down to 55 at one point.

Saw the profile and thought, nope. Hahaha

Sir Evan rode Cobbler as ride #11 on his 2nd KoS (ie first anniversary) quest. There’s no shortage of madness here Sir @DarrenWCKam

Here was his Anniversary quest menu:

I guess next year he’ll have to end on Defender at #12. :stuck_out_tongue:

Defender was number 10 on my first quest. Wouldn’t take much to convince me to use it to end another one. Tho I think I have exactly 12 left (with the inclusion of The Model) that I haven’t used in the first 2. I’ll have to go and review my projected list… :slight_smile:

Ugh. I also remember that it will definitely be including Team Scream, too. :scream:

We will be cheering you whichever you decide :stuck_out_tongue:

Not to hijack this thread, but here is my current plan.

I definitely feel uncomfortable looking at it.

The Shovel is one of my nemesis rides, which is why I put it as #12.

And GOAT feels like a workout that personally feels too low on the intensity and shouldn’t be included in the list, so it kind of makes #11 look like a recovery.

Which rides in this list scare me?

TBTITW
Team Scream
14 Vice Grips
Local Hero
Revolver
The Model
The Shovel
