Ryder H takes on Jonathon Vaughters
Garmin-Slipstream pro Ryder Hesjedal trains on the island of Maui, in Hawaii.
There’s a road which goes from sea level to 10,000 ft, a mountain called Haleakala. The road is 57km or so.
Ryder attempts to break the record for this climb, which, by an interesting quirk, is held by his team director at Garmin, former US pro Jonathon Vaughters.

I saw this on Velogogo. I like the way pro teams like Garmin are giving fans a bit of an inside peak into how riders prepare for racing. It’s all part of marketing the team these days. You gotta do Twitter / YouTube (or Vimeo, which is like YouTube but classy) / Facebook, the whole lot.
