Which of these are you guilty of? 🤔

[@jubrili]

Can the answer be 'Yes'?

[@gtn]

@@jubrili Hahahaha of course... sounds about right 😂

[@ngdawgs1]

Recovery Margaritas/Recovery Mexican food/Strava.. but post shower 🚿 😭🤣.

[@tmilner762]

Not cleaning my bike after sportives in winter!!! Big mistake - wrecked my chain 🚴‍♀️

[@marcospedroso3690]

Well, it depends where you are on the planet. Down here in Brazil, we are way more laid back. After a 50K MTB ride with my friends, we park our bikes, sit outside in a bar and have ice cold beers with delicious local treats. Do what you want, enjoy life!

[@gtn]

That does sounds pretty great 👀

[@angelag5708]

GTN should make some thicker kit so poor Heather doesn't have to be so chilly filming outside as a constantly cold person I feel for her

[@creativechimp03]

I know she looks freezing! Full-length GTN coat for Heather me thinks, plus hat!

[@chrisstrider]

Maybe aGTN changing Robe

[@JIMMYHIBBS1]

No-one suits a bobble hat like Heather 😍

[@notmyrealname6272]

Totally agree. I hate being cold and poor Heather always looks freezing!!!

[@gtn]

It was a cold cold day that day 🥶

[@DaveStecker]

The eyebrow raise at 4:37 almost made me spit out my coffee! 🤣

[@DigininjaRobin]

Fully agree with getting all the jobs done before sitting down. I do this for rides and obstacle races. Hard at the time, but definitely worthwhile.

[@gtn]

Then you can really relax 👀

[@deg050607]

KIT = SHAMY = My 59 yr old neighbor rides his bike approx 50 miles or more/day 7 days/wk....unless it rains.His skin on his face looks like he is 75 yrs old and he has a small beer gut as we say in America. .".Is he over doing it?" In America a new beer commercial has a woman drinking a light beer when she finishes her run.. For me a great day is riding my bike from Mauthe lake state park in Wisconsin to Parnell tower 15 miles away.I take a 20-30 minute break to reset my clock you could say and then I ride back.I take a swim in the lake and then shower in their building.On the drive home (My bike is in my Jeep) I do stop at a pub as they say in England and have 2 beers and a burger.A GREAT DAY FOR ME.....Great video !!

[@jasonw7053]

I always try to have a snack before going to the grocery store after a ride. If not I end up with so many snacks and junk food haha, I steal eat it all but it's still better not to.

[@gtn]

what's your go to post ride snack ? 👀

[@joeblow954]

Didn’t even watch it but I know it’s gonna say beer and food. That’s where all my rides end.

[@jameshhenderson]

When she said “naughty snacks” a chill ran up my spine 🤔

[@megnon22]

im watching this with my sweaty cycling kit wtf

[@jonathanweissbart2710]

Isn’t the whole point of going for a cycle to check and compare your stats on Strava? 😮

[@gtn]

Of course... but that can wait until you've done the most important bits 👀

[@I___Spark___I]

I just burn 2000 kcal I should eat a salad said no one. I need to replenish those lost calories I will lose weight fast if not, medium pizza and a coke for me.

[@SBoots29]

NO SWEETS AFTER? say it isn't so. LOL All good tips. Thanks

[@gtn]

Hahaha hope it helped ... sorry 😬

[@STBRetired1]

Eliza? Eliza Doolittle, is that you? Apparently you've forgotten your lessons so repeat after me, "The rain in Spain falls mainly in the plain."

[@ROCCO_PANUCCI]

I would never jet wash my bike after a ride. Wet cloth or sponge 🧽

[@brianwr1505]

Why is the Canyon Speedmax covered in mud?!?

[@gtn]

We have some interesting "roads" here 😬

[@anwolfs9804]

None to be honest, although I like to take a shower myself before I give my bike one.... Especially when it's cold, muddy and rainy

[@BeerMatt96]

(8) Going for a run.

[@mikhailperalta4816]

Chain got rusty after not cleaning my bike right after a wet race

[@MrTigerlilly68]

Remember the devil is in the croissant 👺

[@speedsociety9177]

Excuse me, I don't understand, isn't the whole point of cycling to have a nasty snack afterwards?

[@gtn]

We all have our own reasons 🙌All in moderation 😉

[@roadcyclingchannel1529]

why is she telling us that it is still so hard to not eat pizza or cake ? she should be telling us that it is easy to not eat pizza or cake.

[@Dinckelburg]

I wish more mamils would understand the last bit about not going for a coffee in your cycling gear. I work in hospitality and we really dislike it when you lean your bikes against our walls and windows, or even worse, bring them inside!

[@gtn]

Great to hear cyclists are using your cafe, we can be a bit picky so that's a good sign 🙌 Do you offer bike parking to help get around the issue?

[@MrZestystyle]

Running, defo shouldn't run.....

[@roadcyclingchannel1529]

can she resist the temptation of EPO, amphetamins etc ? no she can not

[@bjma654651651]

KZbin is dying.

[@Dinckelburg]

Hahaha

[@grantofat6438]

R.I.P.

[@marcospedroso3690]
