I'm genuinely confused - Gilbert is your virtual partner? Does he like Welsh coffee beans too?
@SaddleSore
@SaddleSore Ай бұрын
Gilbert is my gooch. My undercarriage. My posterior. My soft, off-white underside. Embarrassingly, for someone I’m so intimate with, I have no idea if he likes coffee. But if he does, I’m confident his preference will be for Welsh beans.

Wow Roger… that’s high praise indeed! I’m glad you enjoy my nonsensical idiocy… I really do question why, and if it’s worth making videos. Feedback like yours makes me realise that maybe it’s not all in vain! Well done on your 100km. Try a 150 next. Before you know it you’ll be doing a 200… and then who knows what. You may even end up giving your undercarriage a name, just like me and Gilbert!

@@SaddleSore Funnily enough, I never had any nausea on those rides. Just very sore backside and feet, and slumps in energy even though I ate and drank loads. But yes the boredom is something else. Maybe they weren't long enough for nausea to set in.. The last one I did a year ago was in 28 degree heat with relentless sun. So I did have a bit of sunstroke.
