to be fair this box actually has some weight to it you're gonna be flying today
imagine arm control day two of cycling to switzerland we're going to visit sun god
in verbier 140 kilometers to ride today and we're changing countries
we're heading into belgium the land of very steep cobbled climbs yay
so yesterday was our first proper day of riding and it ended up being a bit of an epic because
we got off the ferry pretty late and then we went to a bike shop to see some friends
and then that meant we kind of hung around for a couple of hours and then we got here well just
as the sun was setting so we haven't had very much sleep i've been editing these videos on the fly we
woke up this morning feeling absolutely wrecked but in very good spirits because cycling in the
netherlands is basically a treat i mean look at this this whole thing is just for bikes we woken
up a little bit earlier today just so we have a bit of a head start hopefully we don't get back as
late take things chill and really try and recover after what was just quite a savage today yesterday
accept it before we continue with today's video a quick word
from our sponsor this video is brought to you by sturger link in description below to get 25
off your first order enjoy we have officially crossed over the border
into belgium and we know this because the cycle lane has gone from silky smooth
to bumpy i do love belgium though there's a lot of bike races here fantastic chips spin it again
yeah make sure your ceiling gets everywhere
the tubeless does work sometimes yeah right manaes
connecting my garment to my phone to the speaker and now it gives me direction through the speaker
which is actually quite good got a little bluetooth speaker all right uh no it says no
entry except for bikes cool that pretty much sums up the city we're in antwerp did i just say that
we're in antwerp it's actually a beautiful city and as the weather is extremely good right now
everybody is out enjoying it including us you good man how are you so good i see you've adjusted the
the robot situation to be a lot more aero feel as well yeah he's got a better view now he's out of
the box we're now over a third of the way through the right so actually making really good progress
sorry
probably not supposed to be here but there's other people on bikes doing it so thank you arm control
he's having lunch over there just facetime my mother it seems that we're very instinct
hello how you doing yeah good chris this is embarrassing i've been saying thank you val
to all the people in the supermarket well the one lady that i spoke to in the supermarket
but we're not in the netherlands anymore so you can't have understood me i've been in belgium
for about 30 years i've been in belgium for a long time it feels different doesn't it we
haven't got any freaks though dinner just just just freeze so if you're ever doing
backpacking trips and you want to keep the costs down eating at cafes is expensive so
going to a supermarket and having a little picnic is the way to go always nice actually food ends up
being nicer because you get to choose exactly what you want um i'm a fan of the supermarket
picnic rolling picnic rolling picnic trio of hummus i only got one one a one of hummus oh yeah
i just asked this lady in the shop for a toilet she goes yeah follow me puts this code in takes
me through the staff room down the stairs and she goes yeah it's just there everyone's looking
at me like with their sandwiches oh arm control i bought the harabos that i thought would pick
be good pick-me-ups happy life funny mix win a prize every hour
it's because it takes an hour to get stick around i got it i got it there's nothing there should i
go in should i go in and just start ripping them off the back oh it's too stuck together
i think i might have won a giant pair of bare feet
what we're gonna do today is look out for a bike ride
i don't know what's happened the light has got off but the light is flashing sometimes
i don't know what i'm doing hey francis you got a comment
we were with a local guy called chris yesterday chris other chris i really thought other chris
was joking about belgium cycle lanes and roads being really bumpy he wasn't i don't remember
him being this bumpy in the races literally all day we've been on the harshest like tiles on the
ground and it's like because the bikes are so heavy slow it just everything like rattles you
now ben's got his new era robot he seems to like riding really hard i think he might have
to get him another present do you notice he's riding too hard for a while he wants
to get training doesn't he does he yeah it was a training benefit and if he had like a
if he had something heavier or bigger we get a model of the ferry we came up thank you
now i know i've done some bike rides in much hotter temperatures than this about 34 35 it's
like riding into a hair dryer though especially if you're not used to it i can't moan i can't moan
gave the merry dick didn't i you didn't it wasn't the murder it wasn't the man
now look what happened
where'd you get that
no no no no no no no no no
another successful ride he's these look a bit weird it just drops i look weird as well
it's a fantastic piece of artwork here i think it really shows the rainbow jizz splat
it's finally happened
so when you're doing the bike ride this long the ride's both been
seven eight hours you need to eat as much food as possible so we're ordering um chips and bread
with every single meal you basically can't eat enough which is a great position to be in
for sure if you like food some reason chris keeps ordering salad
ben i think we're in trouble because today took us 8 hours and 40 minutes elapsed time there
was a bit of faffing around and it was 140k with like 300 meters of elevation and tomorrow is 140k
in hotter conditions with 2000 meters of elevation and basically no descending
i'm gonna have to set like a 5am alarm and chris is grumpy because he doesn't want to
wake up that early 34 degrees it's gonna be 22 degrees here at one o'clock tomorrow morning
