Paula Findlay takes Mt. Lemmon QOM

Looking forward to seeing how this went down on Sunday. I figure Heather, Wattie, and Eric were all involved in some way (not to say they were team working it up the climb); I bet HJ was also doing it as an effort and Eric + Wattie were the documentary filmmakers.

From watching their other videos they are very careful about getting K/Q OM's clean and documenting it.

My wife has me hooked on their videos.

Looks like Heather attempted it also and finished 5min off Paula's pace.

We watch them too. I agree they ride clean on the attempts. It's makes Sundays release pretty exciting.

Good for her. When they show footage of her getting after it sometimes she looks super intense. Love watching their stuff on Youtube and can't wait for the next video.

Score one for the good guys.

Paulaā€˜s on course talent combined with Ericā€™s talent behind the camera has her well positioned to explode as the female to watch when we return to ā€œnormalā€.

Any word on the wind that day?
Is the Lemmon segment generally considered invalid if you have people in a group?

dunno specifically. but it wasn't windy in phoenix (usually this is reflected across southern AZ), but lemmon can be "special."

i personally feel like a group effort makes an effort like Lemmon less "studly."

Looking at Strava Flybys HJ and Paula rode together for a few miles at the beginning of the segment and then HJ fell off the pace.

Hey everybody! It was super windy today.. I donā€™t know what ā€œusualā€ is, but I felt like there were some insane headwind stretches, but then as I was descending I also hit a bunch of wind going the opposite direction.. it just seems to swirl around in there, IMO.[/reply][/reply]
As far as working together, we set it up as a head to head race/simultaneous attempt. Both wanted to go for it, so might as well do the same day and if they went separate thereā€™d be no way I could film the whole thing. Hope youā€™re all staying healthy and all watch Sunday :)

Well if they'd attempted it on Saturday it would have been shit based on how windy the beeline was when I was out.

Could you beat the KOM on your ebike if the battery lasted that long?

Thanks Paula and Heather for inspiring us all, especially us lady athletes! what an awesome effort. It is impressive Paula picked up steam the second half as the air was getting thinner. In all my attempts up Lemmon, I have never done that! Eric, thanks for your awesome videos! More KOMs/QOMs to be had in Tucson :) What about Kitt Peak?!

100% yes. The battery died so quickly becuase 1) the gravel tires max at 30psi 2) I was riding it on MAX mode the whole first 10 miles, surging ahead of the ladies, dropping back, catching up, etc.

If I just used it on the lower power setting and put out 300-350w of my own power.. itā€™d make it the whole way no problem.
