Saddle-averse Mike Cotty, your guide in workouts like Getting Away With It and GOAT, is generously donating two Col Collective cycling kits (jersey and shorts), one male and one female, sized to the winner. These are produced in Switzerland by Cuore, the same manufacturer that makes the new SUF kits. Remember, the more you fundraise, the more chances you have to win.
Mike’s Col Collective Cycling Tour outfit has been hit pretty hard by COVID, so I’m sure he’d appreciate any kit orders (plus, they look the business). Check them out!
I was randomly riding to a YouTube cycling motivation style video for a No Vid recently and lo and behold, they had cuts from La Tour and then switched to Mike riding the same section of road. The contrast was unreal. Preferred being able to see the scenery without the crowds in Mike’s video but boy does he make those climbs seem effortless. At least the pros have the decency to look like they’re suffering
I hear chamois are also good at distracting laser goats. Close kin etc. Not that @michael.cotty would ever have anything to fear from laser goats, mind you.
Shocking content: I have just realized that the end of “Getting away with it” has video evidence of Mike SITTING! Descending, sure, but my world will never be the same…
I did “Getting Away With It” for the first time today, as part of the ToS recovery program. It brought back wonderful memories of a trip to the Pyrenees in 2017. Of course one does the Tourmalet, but just as wonderful were the Cirque du Gavarnie and Luz Ardiden that Michael describes in these videos. Although I must admit that the workout seemed easier than I remembered those climbs. Must be the Sufferfest training !
