good morning and welcome to today's video i'm in a car with james and we're on the way
to pease lake to do some mountain biking we're going to meet stu we're going to ride some
trails we're going to get wet you're going to get dropped oh
hey steve yo today we're going to show you what mountain biking can be oh what fun enjoyable
nice mountain biking is it's all about suffering there's going to be no steep uphills nothing
the more depressingly hard yeah and that stuff
yes yeah yeah yeah yeah
up being 25 at the end you [ __ ] i've just realized there's still blood on my gopro from
yesterday not your blood no i could clone someone very damp just campbell backstroke
this is a nice sunny day though yeah all the water in england has stopped on the north
down yeah i've ridden mountain bikes in the sun once it's good
keep them
uh
on the ground
oh
i love cycling me
this is how i imagine cape epic would be it's quite a bit of me one partner riding off the
[ __ ] sunset i'll find out when i get home i guess but hoping some of this footage actually
comes out i'm having to ride the trail and then every time i ride for a puddle wipe the
gopro which is on my chest but you guys naturally a little bit sketchy at times because every
time i ride for a puddle i get sprayed and then a drop of mud always goes right on the
end of the camera fingers crossed there's some usable footage out of all of this my
feet away
ah so i know i've been doing a lot of mountain biking recently thank you for uh for being
patient all the roadie viewers i've just been enjoying it so much in fact i shouted to pete
the other day about this riding mountain bikes feels like what road cycling used to to me
it's exciting i'll get a kick out of it i'm excited to do it like i'm motivated which
is a big difference and you don't get killed by cars gonna be doing some more stuff at
some more road events as the world unlocks i'm just enjoying it so much at the moment
and i reckon cross country in particular will start getting more popular with people in
the uk after the amazing display of tom peacock at the olympics i'm sure there'll be more
on the cards from him it's just a natural progression from gravel to move onto a bike
like this which is a lot more capable and uh once people have had a little taste of
off-road i think there'll be loads more people doing it i'm definitely going to do a bit
of a roundup of uh what i've learned over the last six months it's only been six months
since i've got a mountain bike because there's a few things that surprise me it's a few things
that were much easier than i thought and a few real basic lessons i'd like to pass on
if you're a roadie turn gravel rider who wants to try a little bit of mountain biking last
trailer of the day now let's see if i can keep up with james
i never have punches everyone else does i gonna make it down the telegraph come on baby
i should just ride with the pump like in the wheel
yes i think that would go very well start the trail was so fun what first 30 yards i
mean for the last day in london sort of this ride summarizes everything quite nicely you
winning have you still got an inner tube in the front james yeah have you yeah and it's
fine yeah it works unlike this tube of [ __ ]
so still got a puncher because we're good friends we left him and then he ran the whole
trail so maybe he's got like the running strava kom for the telegraph he probably ran it faster
than we rode it to be fair that marks the end of a very lovely trip in london uh tomorrow
got a long drive home um it was good to see you do too brother hopefully every time i
come back and we ride mountain bikes i'm gonna get a little bit better just a little bit
long as there's progress being made i'm happy and then next time hopefully there's less
rain
next time we'll be in spain
i'm now back home beyond the wall and i found i've got a bit of a problem with my bike i
thought it was riding a bit funny
chances of finding a new bb in the current climate pretty small i've had this bike for
six months and i've basically replaced everything on it mountain biking is great though that
is the end of today's video stay tuned for more this week please like comment and subscribe
and i'll see you guys soon
