Hi mate. I used to ride at least once a day for years until an incident in 2018 that stopped me. I've only ridden 5-6 times since then, but having come across your channel at the weekend, it's inspired me to get my gravel bike out of the garage that I bought 3 years ago and hasn't moved since it was delivered. Keep up the great videos. I've always fancied a Scott bike, so think my next purchase will be an Addict.
@NowtDaftTonyFawcett25 күн бұрын
Thanks for this message. I often question why I bother with the videos and sometimes just delete a lot of them because i think ‘ who cares and why should/want people listen to me’ Keep riding it will be hard at first but will be worth it in the end. But I am sure you know this. Thanks for watching.

Ace Vid, you smashed the 500!! I cheated and did my 500 on Zwift (doesn't count on Zwift😜!! although not much choice, recovering from broken shoulder blade and collar bone ) 300km shift then 2x 100km Also I'm with you on the boozing, I used to drink etc....too much and now I'm a little afraid to go near it, socially now I am super boring or avoid being in the pub whilst before I was super hilarious and every ones best mate obvs!!
