The Wahooligan Tour STAGE 2:

REVOLVER

Stage 2 of the Wahooligan Tour brings the heat with Revolver — a classic one-minute on, one-minute off session that proves simple can still be seriously tough. Fifteen hard efforts keep everyone locked in and riding on the limit together, finding strength in the shared grind and the steady rhythm of push, recover, repeat. With refreshed footage and music and an extended warm-up to get you ready, this remastered edition keeps the energy high and the community connected. However it feels in the moment, remember why we’re here: turning every hard minute into meaningful support for the Davis Phinney Foundation and people living with Parkinson’s.

It’s good to know the minions still can’t count.

Re-doing the mental training plan in the lead up to this year’s tour is paying off. Breathe. Self-coach, form. Focus on each effort. Positive self-talk

the mud reminded me of a quote from Thich Nhat Hahn: There can be no lotus flower without the mud

Knocked this one out this morning with sore throat starting and absolutely not recovered from yesterday yet. I figured @ 75% it should be like a recovery ride, but a few hours later and I am not feeling recovered. :thinking:

Joining the couchlandrians for the rest of today. :sleeping_face:

Revolver is a SUF-killer for sure. I made it thru, but barely. And that’s how it always feels. Even when I feel awesome and am raring to take it on I never think I’m going to make it thru.

Every intervals seems to last a bit too long and every recovery a bit too short.

By interval 3 or 4 I’m questioning my ability to even last halfway. And by interval 10 I’m almost certain I’m done for. But then I get thru 12 and then 13 and think i just have a couple more and maybe I can make it.

Next thing I know I’m flopped over the stem like a fish out of water gasping for breath, yet I made it. Barely. Somehow. Even my arms are quivering.

So yeah, I’m going to go sit in a bucket of ice and question all my decisions coming up the rest of this week.


Two stages down, just five to go, right?

I actually did Revolver today at more than 100% without too much problem. I did yesterday’s effort at 100%. Will I get hit by a truck soon?

I suppose that would be better than being vaporized by a Laser Goat.

When Fluffy came by during the last “official” interval, I just picked up my arm and give Fluffy a big wave and said hello.

I guess it’s been too long since I’ve done Revolver cause I saw this…

but looked at the route and counted six more spikes… After ensuring I wasn’t hallucinating, I smiled and thought “oh yah it’s Sufferlandria.” That’s what I enjoy most about these videos.

Stage 2 done. Somehow I didn’t find that too bad. I would doubt my numbers but tested last week and the giro session yesterday was a real struggle. Maybe I’ve ridden myself into form….

Fight club plays to my weakness, so we’ll see how tomorrow goes…

I had the same feeling as well. This is the easiest Revolver that I could remember. I did my last FF on January 23. i did my last Revolver in September 2023 – Time flies!

Anyone know the location of the recovery section footage? A lot of gravel but final descent on pavement.

@sir_james.p i took the same photo of Matthew VDP, because I am certain that he would never say he was scared of anything cycling related. Only our mythical nation could imagine such a thing. Or Wout VA either for that matter. I am hoping both will be fit and ready for the cobbles.
