- [Matt] Just ride at one speed, for God's sake. It must be a social occasion.
You've got water in your bottle as well. God, I wish I had my aero bike.
You know, then the chain came off, and they couldn't get me footing,
then I punctured.
It's a nightmare. And then I fell off.
Then they got to the cafe and it was closed.
Sorry, lads. I didn't realize we were doing steep climbing today.
If I'd known, I wouldn't have brought my aero bike.
I'd have brought my lightweight bike.
- [Dan] Unbelievable.
- These wheels, these wheels alone are 464 grams heavier
than the ones on my climbing bike. Guys?
Sorry about that, boys. I was just...was just on recovery ride today, sorry.
I've got to like, keep my heart rate under 118.
- Recovery ride? Absolutely incredible.

Lads. Thanks for waiting. I can't believe it. Both contact lens
popped out on the climb.
- Matt!
- [Man 3] Matt!
- And I dropped it.
- Matt, we're over here.
Oh, lads! Cheers. No, both of my contact lens popped out. I couldn't believe it.
- Where you been?
- Always. Always.
- Where you been, Dan?
- Sorry, boys. I dropped my chain at the bottom and it's like all my momentum
up that [inaudible 00:01:30].
- Bad workman blames his tools.
- These self-adjusting electric gears aren't all they're cracked up to be.
I would've been out of here otherwise.
Sorry guys, I didn't realized we were doing gradual climbs today.
If I had known, I would have brought my aero bike and not my light bike.
- Unbelievable.
- I definitely think the average speed, though, is over 20 k an hour.
So I totally, totally felt the drag on this bike, whereas I wouldn't have
on my aero bike. Guys? There's 28 spokes in these wheels, 28 spokes.
Think of the drag.
Sorry about that, guys.
- What took you so long?
- The brakes are rubbing.
- What one?
- Here.
- Looks all right.
- No. God's sake, Matt.
- They're rubbing! My brakes are rubbing!

I absolutely whooped their asses.
- Where do you think Laurie is?
- I don't know. This is starting to wind me up now, to be honest.
Should I give him a call? Dan, where are you, mate?
- I'm at the Col de Morte Lanes, got to the top.
- You're on the wrong climb, again.
Bloody hell. All right, I'll come down and meet you in a sec. See you in a bit.
Sorry, there in a minute. Just...
Get. Crying out loud!
Jesus.
Really sorry, guys. Think I've got a problem with the pedals. Just,
I think I've got it in now.
Poor 71-year old ex-national champ. He doesn't clip into pedals.
Oh for...!
Oh! Sod it!
- It's a cheap bike, too.
- Okay.
- Sorry guys. I didn't realize we were going off-road. Would've brought my
mountain bike. As it is, I've got my lightweight road bike and it's really
not suitable for this kind of thing. Dan. Henry, mate.
We're not going down there are we? Christ.
- Always waiting for Dan. Always waiting. Unbelievable.
- Sorry about that, boys. It's a genuine [inaudible 00:03:51]. You're not allowed
to actually slip stream until you get a bit on your own. So their
effort sort of thing. No, seriously, mate. They've got new rules.
They're going to take off all races and club rides. I've been on there.
I bet you've got electrolytes or something crazier in yours.
I come out to enjoy myself and those two are always spoiling it, picking on me.
I've just got my feet in.
Okay, now.
Ouch. Sod it.
Git!
Jesus.
- To be fair, we should probably be nice to you now.
- Yes!
- Have you got your bus pass yet?
- Wrong, forget it. I'm not coming down, leave it.
Bye. Forget it.
