day 10 cycling across the USA from Miami to LA or to raise money for the fantastic
cause get kids going today's ride is from Bonifay to Crestview and we're
very very tired we've done 10 days of riding and we're still in Florida
I was gonna figure out how you got us here ski straps your voice
he comes along and he picks up the front of the bike he's just slowly moves me around okay okay
foreign
Cyclone Across America which uh feels kind of exactly like how hard expected cycling across
America's Fields starting off today with a massive climb your favorite I know right
when you're not warm and you've been riding for 10 days we've done over 600 miles so far
me and Justin both agree that mornings are starting to get harder now I woke up and
feel like I've been hit over the head with a hammer it's cold this morning which is a bit
weird maybe we're climatized but experience are high it's funny how you'd be feeling
a bit down on a trip like this and then we met people downstairs who completely lifted
our Spirits again I don't want to curse it Tailwind 85 kilometers on this road to go
[Music]
I'd like to take this morning to say a big thank you and give a shout out
to Attica cycling who are my mates who make cycling kit if you ride bikes and
you fancy some new kit head over to their website where some of the stuff is up to
80 off you can get a jersey like this or a jersey like this even good for hands
like this link in description down below thank you to them for supporting our trip
I feel like we're in a film it's amazing isn't it you can buy cowboy boots over there do not buy me
a present in here why because cowboy boots are a really heavy present you can just wear them on
your road the man said you want Square toed ones not pointy toe ones otherwise your feet will get
squashed chicken quesadilla beef thank you thank you very much it's been massive got a fajita ice
cream here I am struggling to imagine what that is it's behind you fajita's ice cream Zone but I
understand it looks like a corn on the cob with the stick in it we do preventative measures ah
although it's not really preventative anymore it's just measures any attempt at curing things you're
on tour my arm's all right my deltoid and my shoulders are different part of the arm it's fine
if people did too much food again Justin yep but you still managed to eat every single bit of it
[Music]
it was really good about American hotels well they all have ice oh yeah yeah let's
go and get some ice let's go get some ice yeah it's only another 50 kilometers away
I've said it once I'll say it again Mexican restaurants always the best place to stop it's
exactly the kind of food that you want when you're on a trip like this rice beans avocado and they
have that Coca-Cola that they sell in a glass bowl that tastes way better unfortunately still got a
headache and Justin is struggling big time with an arm injury so we're rolling along as fast as we
can we're gonna get to our accommodation tonight and make a plan things may have to be adjusted
doing a 90 mile day tomorrow might have to wait you're one-handed now you're going all right
that Dollar General truck over so much space clearly they saw yesterday's episode and they
just want to be featured in a positive light thanks Dollar General hey Francis hey mate how
you doing yeah all right how are you yeah not too bad you just put it with one arm now pretty much
okay you're listening occasionally I use my hand as a stabilizing thing but
then I realize how much it hurts when I stopped
[Music]
another beautiful view and now the only little bit of green that I could see is
blocked by you riding next uh sorry bye another 100K down another 100K
why is the short day 100K I don't know I think we're both really needing that rest
yeah and having won the right to wear pants she wore a dress when's your birthday Francis August
9th can we see August 9th oh it's about the Manson family murders this is interesting I just got it
so I had only read a few pages I'm not sure what which one this is so we've got a medium-sized
problem Justin has a fairly severe shoulder injury which means he ended up peddling for 60 kilometers
with one arm today what a lot of people haven't considered is that when Justin finishes a ride
he's been using his arms all day then finishes and still has to use his arms to do everything
and I think that often gets overlooked when you're watching these videos he still has to push himself
around he still has to lift things up whereas if you ride a bike like I do you just rest your legs
this means the injury is particularly problematic so we're having an emergency rest day here in
Crest View if this challenge was easy there would be no reason to donate and we are doing
this all for a fantastic charity called get kids going they Supply equipment and grants
to disabled children to get access to stuff like Justin's hand bike wheelchairs anything
you need to get into sport we haven't checked the donation page in a couple of days because we've
been busy cycling Across America shall we check it I think we should just giving Crossing USA
the most amazing thing for me is that there's 932 people that have been supporting us like we said
in her past episode is all of those five pounds 10 pounds one pounds they all add up to make a
huge difference and uh well I think I speak for both of us when we say we can't thank you enough
thank you so much for the support amazing you're gonna have to lose a lot of very spicy chips
if you haven't donated yet and you want to check out the details they'll be in
the description down below I think we better rest up and get this arm healed because we
have a country to ride across if I have to do it with one arm I'll do it with one arm
we can always employ a bungee at the top of my bike and you can just drag me as well
thank you
