Another Lap. Every Lap——珠穆朗瑪峰自行車故事

你聽得懂嗎? 咳咳咳 你聽得懂嗎? 咳咳 Jiminy Fuck 感覺如何? 我其實只是在夢想著 Dr. Pepper和Squirt Soda 我只是想讓大家知道 你可以是一個正常人 做瘋狂的事情 我的名字是Thomas Paragomes 我喜歡騎摩托車 兄弟 我的警鈴在響 是的,我打算登上Everest 這意味著 我會爬上Mt.Everest的高度 登上海面 29,029公尺 兄弟,我可以給你掌聲嗎? Christine,謝謝你 我們會在Bart City, Utah 爬上一些很甜蜜的坡道 很多當地人都參與了 這個項目的重點 就是讓你享受 我真的很喜歡騎坡道 所以這項目對我來說 就像爬Mt.Everest一樣 兄弟,我們在爬Green Johnson 和Green Johnson 我們會爬10次 爬到Park City Mountain Resort 也就是PCMR 所以我們會爬到 Jupiter Peak的右邊9次 那是一個2800公尺的爬坡 我三個星期前 在黑暗中吃了很多糟糕 從那裡爬到第九次 我們會爬一個很大的坡道 差不多是4400公尺 爬到黑暗中的Jupiter Peak 然後我們就要結束了 我猜的 總有一天 我們要繼續喝水 是的,兄弟 我們要開始玩 我們要把寶寶鎖起來 我們不想發生任何事 這就是DX89BPM Line Drift 我們要Line Drift 是的,我和Thomas一起騎 我們可以說是我們整個第一天 從中午開始 他從店裡開始爬 直到快要日上 這一點也不算是激烈 這只是上坡爬坡 爬過一些最麻煩的坡道 那個男孩可以爬坡 第一次爬坡 檢查了 我們都戴了閃光燈 但我某程度上 我以為Thomas會慢一點 比他平時騎的慢 但這並沒有發生 我們下坡 他已經快到極限了 第一次爬坡 在凌晨2點 我騎了一塊黑金 我不知道你能不能 看到我鼻子的位置 我差點摔壞了 在夜裡騎摩托車 你看到嗎? 這很痛 然後 就只有我一個人 在森林裡 在黑暗的2點 騎著摩托車 我知道他在那裡 拍個照 第二次爬坡 你肯定承認 他的頭 比想像中還要硬 你也說他在爬坡 但他不覺得自己最強 所以他決定 回家休息 回到家裡 幸運的是 他還好一點 但很可怕 他在我後面 在夜裡騎摩托車 誰知道 誰會找到他 在那裡騎摩托車 讓我想起 前面有很長的路 即使是 比我們想像中的長 我還是應該繼續騎摩托車 那是很刺激的 從一開始開始 摩托車 很刺激 Yeah 哇 這是最糟的部分 但感覺很好 在頂部 你知道我在想什麼嗎 Bacon Gouda 點點Bacon Gouda 和Americano 可惡 那邊有沙嗲 那部分很糟糕 快速的乾芝士 這個芝士太好吃了 如果我們有金魚餅乾支援的話 我們就像是被烤的那樣 差不多餅乾支援 但 這些芝士餅乾 他們都還蠻好吃的 這是什麼 我們不想要這個燈光 我既想啟發大家 去騎自己的車 我也想啟發大家 去簡單地騎車 我認爲很多人不再去探索旅遊 去找新的旅途,新的旅途 或者找一個你一直想去的旅途 我認爲這些旅遊是非常重要的 對於這個社區來說 我們都在尋找新的東西 找新的東西讓我們開心 我認爲我跑了三圈 吃了一些豬肉和米飯 然後在星巴克開店 我買了幾個星巴克的串串 對,對 你想想 只要吃一點豬肉和米飯 番茄和番茄 就能做到11.2公分 這一圈 然後一圈之後 我們就快到一半了 很簡單 你只要想到四圈之後 你就可以做到 對 你如何定義自己是一個摩托車運動員 我不知道 我覺得我只是摩托車運動員 我不想被定義爲摩托車運動員 或者是摩托車運動員 或者是公園車運動員 或者是其他 我認爲摩托車運動員 將人們圍繞在非常嚴格的領域 他們選擇的摩托車 而我只是想摩托車 我最喜歡的摩托車 我認爲摩托車讓你享受摩托車 對我來說 摩托車是一個長距離的摩托車 但我真的只是想摩托車 我偏偏喜歡技術性的摩托車 粗糙的摩托車 所以我選擇摩托車 但摩托車真的很好 對 我認爲摩托車就是摩托車 摩托車 我認爲摩托車就是摩托車 我認爲摩托車 我們兩臺摩托車都在發出很多聲音 等待摩托車下坡 我的耳機就像是一個摩托車 我絕對不是直接跟朋友一起騎摩托車 我從來沒有忘記我已經24小時了 但是有時候我們會跳舞 或者是玩音樂 或者是做一些愚蠢的事 然後Cody會在那裏嘲笑 這就讓我瞭解了 我對摩托車的深厚感 對我來說最酷的是 即使是一個巨大的挑戰 當我和他一起騎摩托車時 就像是另外一天 我也只是和朋友一起騎摩托車 從後半段開始 我和他一起騎摩托車 我們騎摩托車的力量 就像是另一天 我們騎摩托車的時候 非常酷 一分鐘 因爲你不能吃半硬的芝士 那是沒有道理的 你騎摩托車多久了 Man, like 22 hours, I think, a little under. Thank you, for that lady five dollars. Boom, boom, boom, got this bro. Yeah, as far as the pain cave goes, it lived up to my expectation. On my 8th lap, I had little black dots in my vision, and that made it pretty tough. I slowed down on the way down a good bit because of that, and then my bash guard came loose, so I had resistance when I pedaled. So I just kind of scooter-kitted my way over to the shop after that lap. So that was tough because I was beat physically, and then something happened mechanically. And I was just pissed. I think I've got a little eye boner. All right, so deep in the pain cave, that lap sucked ass. I'm now at 22.4K, so a couple more laps, but something just came loose on my shit, and I've got a ton of resistance when I pedal. I think it's like bash guard chain guide type stuff, but not cool. I'm like rolling back to the shop right now. My vision was getting all fucked, getting, I don't know, just like black dots and shit in my field of view. So I'm going to go take a half-hour nap and then try and fix this shit and then get back at it. The emotional consequences of some physical shortcomings were hard to deal with. We're going up for, I think it was like the ninth lap or something, and I had gone down, slept a little bit, and then I came back and joined him. So I just cranked up, pedaled up, and when I got to him, he was walking. I was like, oh, shoot, is he good and whatever? And he's like, yeah, bro, I think I just got to chill. My knee feels like it's about to blow up if I keep pedaling. And I was like, damn, bro, that's crazy. What the heck? And of course, he's pedaling up a road, but what he's descending is some pretty gnar stuff. It's no joke. So yeah, at that moment, I was like, damn, this is legit. I mean, we're into some serious territory here when you're kind of right on the verge of blowing up your knee. It was dope, like hanging on to those high lines, being like, dude, this is the last time that you need to go down this to hold proper form so your wheel doesn't slip. It was a pretty cool feeling, and I think that that's a lot of what I was thinking about on the last few laps was like, OK, this is the last time I need to ride this section of the road. This is the last time I need to ride this steep bit that I hate at this point. This is the last time this. And that last descent was sick because I was like, it's the last time I need to make it all the way down the hill. But it's also on, like, our favorites. The last lap was a bit of a different pain cave than I anticipated. UDOT closed Garden's Pass on us. And so as opposed to, like, pedaling the paved road to a single track to the shoulder up to Juke, where, like, there's a couple of hike and bike sections, but you can pedal to the summit. We had to turn around and hike the ridge up Deer Valley, which, I mean, I wouldn't say that it was like a bummer per se, but definitely very different than how I visualized, like, summiting, if you will, or topping it off. And that last hike, I mean, I was there. Like, I literally just had to walk, like, 700 more feet or something like that, 800 more feet. So I can't say that I was defeated, but I was just like, really? Like, really, UDOT's going to close the road right now? When we got onto the service road looking down at the road, we could have pedaled it right up to the single track we wanted to and gotten right onto the ridge. But they said no. Well, they said UDOT was right down the road. UDOT ain't nowhere to be seen, player. The road looked nice and fast, ready to climb. Yeah, I don't know what they're talking about. But it'll be open tomorrow, don't worry. You can always wait another 24 hours. But I ended up just overshooting the summit, not actually summiting, but going around it, doing a couple of hill repeats and then getting onto the top of the hill. I mean, at that point, when I was just a couple hundred feet out after hiking, you know, probably a mile or so, with my bike on my back on some really steep stuff, I was like, I'm going to do whatever it takes to, you know, see that 29.1K pop up. Yeah. Johnny, steeper than Clark City 7-Eleven places. Yeah? Yeah. How much do you think you're off by? 28.27. I bet you I'll be. I'll be there this time. Fucking UDOT did us good. I got to do that again. What do you got? 28.8. By the end, I was pretty juiced up for one. I broke it for that last lap. So that last lap, we were kind of just on 5.9. Yeah, yeah. Let's go. For real. Thank you, dawg. I appreciate it. That's massive. Let's go. What you got there, dude? A bacon sausage wrap, a.k.a. an assimilated breakfast burrito. Let's go. Thank you, boys. Now it's time for some re-rides. You can do whatever on whatever bike you got if it makes you happy, and I think that that's what I want to emphasize, is whenever you find something that stokes you out and makes you happy on bikes, chase that. Let's go. That was a gnarly one. Thank you. What are your thoughts on the Everest? Famas is a psycho. That's thought number one. This whole project and this idea, when he came up with it, I think surprised all of us, just the fact that he was committing to this and doing this. But we all knew that he was going to do it and that he would do it. And he did. He did it. That was a close call. Cheers. Cheers, dude. Cheers. How are you feeling, dude? Good. I think once the Ibuprofen wears off by tomorrow, I'll be fucking fucked. Do you think I said that last time? Yeah. Can you please get drunker? So get me in a not-so-stinky shirt. That was perfect. There's a lot of confused mice out there, so you got to be careful. But essentially what will happen is you're just cruising, son. Mock chicken, all right? And this mouse is just... But, like, none of this, none of that. Just straight trying to confuse you. So you're like, oh, I'm going to take an outside line. And then he's like, and you're like, oh, shit. And then there's, like, a drop or something. And the mouse is just... just straight scrubbing the jump, dude. Yeah, lots of mice. And then Cody was kind of way back. He was like, dude, I don't know what happened. I don't know what happened. After waiting for a while, I was like, I'm just going to go to the shop and eat breakfast. This was lap one, so I hadn't eaten at all. I legit pulled into the shop at, like, 2.30 a.m. and just, like, blood coming out of my fucking top of my nose. And immediately, just, like, door opens. Ding-ding. Brother, I promise it's not as bad as it looks. And he was just like... Oh, my God. I warned him, though. I was like, don't be surprised. This looks worse than it is. And it's just, like, straight off the nose, bro. Like, dirt everywhere that there isn't blood. Helmet's dented. And I was like, yo, what? What happened? I saw a wild thrasher. A wild peak. Both off the clock. Freshly off the clock. Yeah, free-range grass-fed mountain employees, baby. That's all. I always get confused with my pants that they send me. But this is the below-the-knee relaxed fit. Yeah.
