Two typos on the workout description: SYSTM

“Madonna del Gonzalo” climb probably doesn’t exist though it’s referenced twice :slight_smile:

Gonzalo was on the app for a bit until corrected (well, kinda). Poor guy got dropped…maybe he’s The Colombian?

Just did Italian Lakes: Ghisallo. Early in the ride Mike Cotty says this is a tough ride. Let me say ’ this is a tough ride. Enjoy the suffering! :sweat:

He wasn’t lying! Those nineteen minutes of over-unders are pretty intense.

Agree. Especially how they increased in intensity from 1 to 2 and then 2 to 3. Nasty little trick.

More Mike. Hopefully, there is a way to closed caption Mike’s voice overs? It appears they are at a way lower volume across all of the On Location videos.

ALL speech “should” have text options as an accessibility feature.

Not that this will come as any surprise but the “10-second sprints” … aren’t.

Are you sure this video is Sir Michael Cotty? @michael.cotty My guide around Lugano sounded like him, but stayed seated the whole ride, except for around 1:30 on the final summit. And when he commanded “Up! Up! Up!”, this guide was referring to RPM and not for me to get out of the saddle.

Quite an enjoyable ride, though, and looking forward to the next two.

I just did the ride, too, and was completely shocked by it. I think he needs to do another video where not only he stands for the entire climb but he makes us stand as well…

Is that something you think you could … stand? Ba dum tss.
