@CPT_A Definitely a good series. For the Long KOM I almost hit a badass power record for 10 minutes. Phil does a nice job coaching in both the short and long KOM.

In honor of Phil G. week, today’s Short KoM was brought to you by a white chocolate oatmeal macadamia nut cookie from my local corner bakery.

You need to come to Moustache in NZ. Even PhilG would score them 10,000/10. They are superb! My favourite of theirs is a Nutella cookie. So frikkin good!

Though I will confess I did Phil’s final Long KOM in no-vid so I could watch Paris Roubaix Femmes, so sorry for that LA.

The long KOM with Phil Gaimon was very motivating … so much so that I just signed up to ride his Cookie Fondo this October in Malibu, CA (https://www.philsfondo.com). Cookies at every rest stop ??? Am I even allowed that indulgence as a Sufferlandrian? The SYSTM videos were clearly promoting cookies … and the charities benefit children … so I guess GvA will look the other way on that day.

Any particular reason why?
I have Cremee Ride, Gravel Grinder and Rabbit Mountain as regular features in my training, solely the rest weeks.
I don’t/haven’t watch/ed the videos after the second viewing. That’s monotonous.
I found the them least inspiring rides on systm

Since the discussion seems to tend toward if AWW sessions are to be repeated, I want to add, that I did AWWPG Neighborhood Ride and AWWNH The Office Commute several times whenever I had a Recovery Spin on my training plan. I also swapped AWWPG “Openers” for “Primers”. I find these AWW workouts as engaging as the On Location rides. It’s another twist than classical SUF workouts but it’s the variety, that makes SYSTM great.
