beautiful morning freezing cold i'm wearing every single bit of kit that i own
i'm with adam and we're riding into the penins which is the coldest place we could have chosen
it's gonna be even colder than this it's frostier the lower we go it might be nice sunny up there
maybe i'm gonna need one of those special new gopro batteries that does sub-zero temperatures
this camera might not survive i like how in the northeast you'll see like an old man who's
clearly a local that's lived here for ages in a woolly jumper just a woody jumper double art
i so it has got warmer you know i guess at least
minus one now there's frost on the ground a little bit sketchy zero degrees cool
barmy no kom's on the descent will be set today even by adam with his thickest slicks i've ever
seen in my life comfy though it doesn't look very comfortable are you comfortable lovely
aside from all of the moaning about the weather and how cold it is this is actually fantastic
what a brilliant place that we live you're always rewarded when you go out on a ride here proper
hey you know i've been here with dave hopper before and he told me all of these trees here
are really soft right yeah so if you punch one of these trees you won't hurt your hand
no i mean today you would hurt your hands because my hands currently i
can't feel them properly and probably my fingers would fall off oh maybe
it's like 30 odd degrees five degrees now oh we had a minute
beautiful
i was excited for a little rest day tomorrow forgot that there's park run on that i said
to daisy and jimmy and emily that'd do so i'm gonna do that have a rest day off the
bike after a nice little training block over the last few days preparing for what is a
little bit of an announcement i'm gonna do 500k around her hill velodrome to raise some money
for tnn charity ben's charity sure a lot of you guys will remember me talking about that
and half of the money for friends of hern hill as well so stay tuned for that uh in the middle
of the festive 500 after christmas before new year john do it one ride what 500k no what that means
is i've been trying to get in a few extra miles recently just so i've got a bit of zone 2 fitness
uh because i hadn't actually been spending that much time on the bike since spain hopefully
because i've done it before i'll be able to get through it okay but uh should be a fun day
or day and a half depends how long it takes take care mate what a fantastic ride
three hours thousand meters of elevation about 40 miles hilly basically part two
of today taking this big pile of stuff with daisy to the studio it's full the car is full
it's brimming full to the brim of items from my existing garage and uh other stuff that we're
going to use to make the studio look good and be functional too see out the back all right
thankfully daisy is here to help me because it's so so much stuff i don't think i'll be able to
manage on my own this will also be daisy's first time seeing the studio which is very exciting
it's annoying that there's no car parking spots closer to be honest well the loading bay outside
but it says trade vehicles probably could get away with it but good job all the stuff i've
got is really light francis said to me tax neo this 2t this is so quiet to the street
and no one ever comes down here and there's a [ __ ] queue of traffic and every time we go
back to the car someone was like are you leaving because it's christmas it's usually cool to come
into town the last saturday before christmas no mine you know this used to be a gym better
sign up i feel like i've got a pump anyway i love saturdays some time has elapsed since we were last
talking to the camera look it's now dark outside it will be worth it but it's been a long day
vegan burger and fry's takeaway with a milkshake vegan burger fries and a
milkshake do you remember this which viewers remember this flag time to go
so a little bit about the upcoming challenge during the festive 500 there's going to be 10
of us cycling 500k in one go around a i think it's 450 meter velodrome that's a lot of laps
it's going to take a very long time and the weather is looking like it's going to be
awful but it's all for a good cause everybody is going to be raising money for hern hill or friends
of hearn hill which is the charity that helps keep the velodrome going obviously a fantastic
cycling location right in the heart of london that gets people involved in racing bikes riding bikes
it's just a fantastic organization the other fifty percent we are all raising money for
different charities and my chosen charity is tnn tnn stands for the new normal and they basically
run peer-to-peer group sessions to help people discuss grief which is what it started with but
as it's grown they now have different meetings discussing different topics like mental health
and well-being they're just a fantastic charity and they really could use some money
to help expand and get more people involved one of the founders ben you will have seen in my
videos lots either cutting my hair and also riding bikes sometimes so if you want more information
i'm going to put a link down below to their website and i will also put a link to the new
donation page which is going to be open from today so it'll be fantastic if you do want to donate
head into that description down below the donation page and all the information is there
two fantastic causes and probably lots and lots of pain because 500k is a long way as
always thank you so much for watching i hope you enjoyed today's video please like comment
