so i've just touched down here in spain i've got my bike with me i'm gonna be
doing some riding the um uber driver that's picked me up is a bit weird
the ticket wouldn't let me out stuck at the barrier speaking to around the spanish guy
hola senor yeah i paid yeah this is the guys yes
that's yes i would have thought if you don't pay at alicante airport for parking
you can't get out but if you do pay you still can't get out can you money making scheme that
okay we're doing some musical bikes yeah you need to go and get chris from the airport
yes chris hall is going to be joining us in a minute and i'm going to look after both of these
bikes because there's no space in the car and sit on the beach and then we'll do some riding
we do it right today yeah we do a ride today we're not officially leaving until tomorrow but
it's sunny we're in spain we've got bikes with us so we should make the most of it
i think i made an error he knows you're your place where i don't know i didn't see anybody
on the floor never did i maybe it's in your car that's what we thought have you checked it
there's a bike bag in the way cookie
i have finished them all always up and down francis i don't know i've only done two rides
on it brakes work this was supposed to be light it's really heavy mate this is the screenshot i
sent you oh yeah i didn't read that and did you see that tomorrow there's nothing in it there's
nothing in it there's nothing so we could do what we want tomorrow we're not riding tomorrow night
oh get the bar back then see not everything always goes to plan we've got something to plan but we
can go for a nice bike ride today and tomorrow i did it on purpose so we can chill the universe has
its ways of fixing things lawrence is it bad that we just stand here and not help him yeah you know
when you're doing work on your bike it's the worst thing isn't it when people just watch you do it
it's like when i was reversing into that space and chris removed his glasses to stare intently into
my eyes and make it worse i got closer and closer we're about to uh go on a ride get ready test the
bikes make the most of the song but first i've got a present for chris look at this oh there's
something there's some fluff on it comes with some fluff this is the one that ben used for
the modelling it means the jumper's been on it's got fluff on it smells of ben yeah smells great
mate well done it looks fantastic hold on jimmy he did loads of hard work on this didn't he it looked
really good man he sold out haven't you those are a pre-order in fact i think there's one day left
on the pre-order so if anyone wants t-shirt or a sweatshirt because there's still an offer as
well link down below to that have you seen the video in the bathroom the view in the bathroom
my goodness the red lever pull red lever
which one there's many this one hello it's the upside down world mate
okay i wasn't maybe racing the tram straight away was a bad idea yeah tram one as well
so a slight error on my part first i turned up a day early for the bike packing trip which i knew
was wrong but there was only those flights then i didn't realize chris had actually booked in
an extra day to do a normal ride and check out the bikes on top of the day we have now so
well basically we just a holiday for two days which is nice we get to ride bikes without bags on
them which is also very nice we have an important job tomorrow mate what's that buy a speaker by a
speaker yeah and find my lost spa bag dad don't worry about that i think it's at lawrence's
villa which is kind of an hour and ten minutes drive up the coast so we'll see it had uh all
of the really important stuff that i definitely definitely need in it which is a bit annoying
so the loop we're doing today just a small one check the bikes are all working
30k from alicante out of the city which is actually quite long to get out of it's
a big city now we're climbing all the way to halfway up into the hills that overlap the city
and then descend back home i've already been dropped chris has been training a lot
lawrence has been here for like a month so obviously he's fit
lucky i got a fast bike chris yes yes sir can you explain to the viewers what we're doing for
the next three weeks and why up this hill um we're going up the hill the original plan was to cycle
from the uk to tenerife the idea was to do it so that we weren't flying and we cocked it up
at the start i think we cocked it i think brittany ferries got caught brittany ferry's cocked up by
not having any bike reservations so we'd allocated this three-week block and we thought let's try and
find some of the best roads we can in spain three weeks yeah there's lots of them here yeah which is
here we go that one i wouldn't say it's the best but it's pretty good it's quiet so it's a bit of
a shame we couldn't do the original idea well we could do we can park it yeah we can do it
another time maybe boo car yes ferry tickets way in advance for next year bit of a shame
that it's not easier to do this sort of thing because if we could have avoided flying
would have been nice but we're here now i would have had to fly here anyway or get here anyway
because i'm doing that week with uh ribble yeah it's a bit of work stuff at the end still gonna
have a good time so i'm fit i wasn't sure how unfit i'd be i thought it'd be like tapering off
like my whole cycling career i've been i've been riding loads yeah and then i
was going to taper off this january and then be flying but it hasn't worked it hasn't worked
good luck capturing that on the gopro that's what he said well yeah but
i can just get his footage so really i'm smart so can you now carry the camera
so i am an idiot and i've managed to leave my bar bag inside my bike box which i've left
at lawrence's villa we're now having to drive all the way back up the coast go and get that
have some dinner because it's going to be late and then tomorrow we'll do a last tune up right
before heading up the coast heading down the coast not the car that's not the car is it
that was the car thank god for you guys how was it to be getting around to people's cars it's
it's not even that color it's grey it's not this one that's black it's like someone who's not into
bikes looking at all the bikes and they probably just look all the same to them right is this one
nice jacket nice jacket lawrence nice jacket mate thank you
you keep cameras on here he does he does do funny things
it's paparazzi wait he's famous yeah this will get a thousand views extra just because of liam
how do you know it's gone how do i know that's on is it there's no way of knowing there's no light
oh that's a bit yeah yeah is there anything that's professional we're living
that does look good to be fair yeah i i got i'm excited about the
you
