Wow! I had unsubscribed because you had not been on in three years! Glad you are back. I have some catching up to do. lol. Happy New Year!

Irritating jingle!

what happened to you. Not posting any more?

Yeah you inspired me to get back out and just ride locally at our lake parks. I fell behind on your videos till now. Looking forward to your next installment. I’ve ridden 833 miles this year so far.

Loss of balance after brain anurism

Those clicks make a very satisfying sound that doth please mine ears.

You've been riding in heat that would have done me in long ago! Taking a break is the best decision (but will Morocco be any cooler?). One way I beat the heat is to ride my trike on a roller and blocks in the basement, watching your videos and traveling vicariously!! I've "ridden" through several English counties as well! Looking forward to when you resume your travels with Trinny!

@13:08 I guess that is a semi-recumbent upright bike? Reminds me that up to this point, I don't think I've seen another tadpole recumbent trike on your tour. Are they really that much of a rarity in France? I can't even think of a French (or Italian) trike maker, although maybe they just don't make them for export.

@6:48 "G'day to ya!!" ??

Lovely ride through France lol ❤ new sub here hope to continue to follow you on your journeys

Hello, Tim. Could you please make a small video so we can know that you're safely back in Morocco. Thanks. Be safe.

Hi Tim just caught up after our two week annual family tour of the Netherlands. Sorry to hear the heat was getting to you. We had some hot ones too. Stay safe and looking forward to see your videos soon. The kids walked in the other day and said are you and mum watching your favourite you tuber 😂😂

Missing watching the tour. I’ve acquired a tent and may do a small tour myself, although I think I need a trailer as it’s a little to big to fit on the back of the trike...only slightly. But it’s a step forward. Looking forward to the tour restarting.

Sad to hear the tour will be on break for a bit, but a trip around the Iberian peninsula in October sounds lovely! 😉 thoroughly enjoyed the videos, it's a nice change from the fast-paced superficial content on social media. Also don't forget to update and share the tour map! Very curious to see what the total end route looks like that you've ridden so far.

Those are some crazy temperatures Tim 🥵 I Hope you can recoop and cool down during the evenings.. does it cool down at night at all there?

Respect for your decision to suspend the tour Tim! Great how you managed to do this tour, off course you inspired many of us to go out on te bike/trike. What a beating the trike took again this trip, a lot of rain, dirty bike paths, rocks, bumps, cobblestones, mountains, broken rim, cold, hot, what a great trike, the fs26! Give Trinny same love when you have time, and give her a good wash ;-) Take your time to get in shape again, and enjoy your stay in Morocco hopefully we’ll see you again this year in lower temperatures, and in good health and again full of energy Thanks for all your nice vid’s and inspiration, great to see you travelling with the trike again, with your great sense of of humor, Bye for now and hopefully see you soon! Greetingz Ed

Take care of yourself Tim and thanks for sharing with us all.

what a lovely ride, Hope the temperature is in favour of your health, the route is magnificent and nice to see there is still some rocky cycle tracks Trike on Tim!👍

Health is most important, and the trip is to enjoy yourself an nothing else, good decision Tim!

Cheers, Tim. I love the ride by the canal. I look forward to when you resume the tour, Tim, and getting you a few cups of coffee. ☕☕

wauw, what hurdles to take, nicely solved by the bikeshop! and now making decision to go visit the mountains, wisely got rid off the Efneo! great Tim, still catching up but n-joy it even more 😁 ;-) hope the temperatures will go down....

Be careful with the hot weather. That was a really HIGH bridge. I love the drone footage. Hope you got some much needed rest and sleep, Tim. 😴😴

If only it wasn’t so hot. We’ll miss the tour, but at least there is the restart of the tour to look forward when the weather is better for triking. Will have to go back to the start and watch again in the meantime. Thanks for the entertainment.

98 degrees F. That's VERY, very hot. It was a very nice bike trail. Excellent ride, Tim. Thanks for sharing. Keep triking!!

Hi Tim. Thank you so much for your inspiration, your british sense of humor and your positivity. Sad to hear you interrupt the tour. I enjoyed watching your vlogs so much. BUT you are 100% right. If you don't enjoy it anymore (because your health / heat) you should stop. I hope (and I'm almost certain) you will be back some time later. About the pass by shot. I wonder can it be done with the drone putting it in such a spot? You could let it come to you by itself after taking the shot. But I don't know anything about operating drones. I would like riding the trike like you one day (maybe starting with a 2 day trip as you say), but video is not realy my thing. I guess the name of the place is pronounced Aigues-Mortes 😉. (Just joking, it doesn't make any sense in writing) See you in the next (last 😢) one.

When I saw the title I wanted to hold off on watching this one 😉 no totally understandable to turn back under those conditions.. it's one of the reasons I haven't ridden my bike here in Taiwan as much 🥵🥵 look forward to seeing more of france!

Thank you Tim for the nice video be safe Wade in Florida

It's been great to follow you on your tour so far, really enjoyable, but your health takes priority. Will you get much cycling in Morocco now that you'll have Trinny there? I am that used to hearing the cicadas, I didn't notice they'd stopped, until the two cars passed you.

In Tassie every several years (some people say every 7 years while others say different numbers) the Cicadas abound in massive numbers. Yes, they are very noisy and they make the noise all night when it's hot one. Experienced it several times and "we didn't get much sleep that night" as the Two Ronnies used to say.

Hi Tim! You could use your 360 camera for a ride by shot so you don't have to do that shot twice. Another trick I sometimes do is to cycle back from the camera and return. The first shot will be the last in my footage but I will mirror this clip. 😊 If you know what I mean. At the end of the month/beginning september we will make another trip. Austria/Slovenia/Italy, keep watching my channel 🙂.

I could detect a tiny bit of jubilation (relief perhaps) in your voice when you announced you'd be suspending your tour in a couple (I concur). It's becoming work, not fun. You should not have to suffer! You've learned a lot, need rest/recuperation, and time to reflect. I know one thing, your British sense of humor is intact. 😅 Yesterday looked like a nice day to ride, so I launched (80F). I did 26 miles, then got distracted talking to someone with some common ancient history. Oops, last ten miles, full sun, temp climbing...105F when I pedaled into the carport 🥵 Not wise, but at least I was in my all white kit that I wear here. I should know better. I'll write you an email later with some afterthoughts. I have truly enjoyed riding along with you and looking forward to your further adventures (Said he whose ancestry is mostly English 😉)

Safety first, heat exhaustion can be serious. :) I'm curious, what kind of drone do you have? And for the ride-by camera trick, would the 360 camera make it easier?

Hey Tim. I'm sad that the heat got to you but you've made it farther than I would have. I don't do heat well at all. I've thoroughly enjoyed your tour to this point. It's smart to take some time off and resume when it is cooler.

Hey Tim sorry the heat got you. I very much do not like the heat myself. Hope you come back soon. And this ride had to be a real blazer with no shade. Hang in there. I really enjoy your videos. You do great videos and it's appreciated.

Hi Tim. I have enjoyed. Looking forward to future tours. Tim, have you considered how your travels would have faird had you done this with your e assist. Would it have been possible.

I am not currently touring, but you did inspire me. 4+ years ago I was dealing with crippling neuropathy and found it difficult to ride a diamond frame bike. I began to research recumbent bikes. I always figured I would ride a two-wheeler. Then I came across Tim's Trike Trips. The idea of seeing the world from a comfortable chair appealed to me. I picked up my Catrike Dumont the week that covid hit the states. I don't ride nearly as much as I would like but I enjoy it when I do. As I commented yesterday, we have a bunch of beautiful rail trails here. Thanks for the videos. I look forward to your return in the fall. Oh, and what happened to the original intro?

Hi Tim, it was and dtill is a great pleasure to follow on your trip. I will miss the evenings in front of my tv enjoying the latest episode before going to bed and dreaming of making such a trip myself. Enjoy the last 2 days, I hope with acceptable temperaturs, and stay safe. I am sure Trinny needs some repair before you and I hope you keep us informed about the "overhauling" of Trinny. All the Best for both of you, see us soon again, I hope. Greetings from Wesel Germany

Really have enjoyed watching your videos. I have begun to video my trike trips with my wife and grandkids. I may have missed this Q/A in a previous comment, what drone are you using?

Inspiration is correct. Bad weather, floods, major breakdowns then heat, you didn't let it dampen your enthusiasm . It's been a great watch. Thanks Tim. As always stay safe.

Good idea to take a break from the hot sun Tim. Health first.

Hey Tim, nobody wants to see a man walking around a posh hotel with an empty water bottle and a camera anyway. I much prefer the view from along the canal with all the trees. LoL Thanks for sharing and I will keep an eye out for the continuation of this tour.

Aha! So Mr. Cooke shows us the joy of setting up a drive-by shot! Looks good after editing, but is a PITA to pull off in reality. Well my friend, your destination for Episode 33 contained the word "Morte." We don't want this wonderful tour you've done to have anything to do with that in reference to yourself, so suspending the expedition for now is indeed the sensible thing to do. If heat and the health of su corazon ("your heart") don't mix, the latter takes priority. Safety for the remaining days on the road my friend! 😉

I'll be following your vlog as you end this leg of your journey and be eagerly awaiting your return to France from Morocco. Keep on Triking!

HeyTim, how do you keep you phone and camera charged up?

Thanks Tim. Most enjoyable.

Great video again. Enjoying following the journey, like you say it’s a pity at times that you can’t be a tourist, but safety first. Still great views and a great adventure.

Great vlog again. Loved that tunnel. How the noises change.At the beginning of your tour it was huge long trains. Now it's the wildlife😊. Thanks Tim. Stay safe in the heat.

Nice editing Tim. Blending the sound of the cicadas with the relaxing music 👍. The illumination in the tunnel was very fancy. I have only done day trips on the trike myself, so I have no experience with taking lots of stuff with me. But I have 1 top box on the rear rack that is made of hard plastic which is bolted on and can be locked with a key. I can lock the panniers on the trike with a simple small padlock and I have 1 pannier from Ortlieb that can be transformed into a backpack by flipping a cover to the other side, so that you can easily take it with you. Furthermore, I have a cover to cover the entire trike (from Ali Express and actually made for a quad, although I think it should be a children's quad to fit on). I once heard from another triker that it was a good idea to park the trike (of course locked with a chain) in a fairly busy place because of the social control. (thieves are not so eager to steal things when there are a lot of people around) Stay cool and have fun with trinny.

When you crossed the Heuss Bridge you entered Mainz-Kastel. I lived there for five years in the 70s, about three blocks from the sidewalk dead-end. Happy triking to you!

Did those LED lights in the tunnel react to your presence, or was it just a random pattern that was there already when you passed through?
