Dry Sandbanks at last.

[@user-ec9ut2qr2s]

Oh, sausage roll and capaccino. Savoury and desert all together.

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Julie does enjoy a sausage roll 😁

riding the Prom great stuff. Sandbanks, many many happy memories in the 50's and early 60's.

[@julie-wheelersatlarge]

The prom really hasn't changed. 👍 Nice to have triggered a few happy memories for you!, 😊👍🚴🚴🚴

[@rivergladesgardenrailroad8834]

@@julie-wheelersatlarge yep, in Australia, but your trips bring back tears of happy memories.

[@whichypoohs]

lol lol you two are amazing 😅

[@julie-wheelersatlarge]

Cheers Heather! 😅 Was great fun😊. Bit of an early bath in that tunnel... was so deep! 💦💧💦

[@terryb392]

Well done Mike Julie and crew, excellent ride, Don't listen to Mike Julie if you want to go the road route insist that he follows your orders., at least you would have had dry feet. It's not just your area that's flooded we have the same mud and floods

[@julie-wheelersatlarge]

Yeah, oh my, that was deep under that bridge,😮 the cold took my breath away! 😅 ! Lots of flooding in your area too then. 💧💦🚿

[@stevantunic511]

I abandoned my ride on Sunday in the first two miles and I live in the same area, well done for not giving up.

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Yeah, the sun came out and was pretty warm too. It was worth the effort in the end. Thanks for commenting.

[@peterboydallweatheroutdoor8868]

Wow your video had me taking a sharp intake of breath!!! ,it looked like on many occasions on your watery 💦💦💦🚴🏻‍♀️🚴‍♂️ route you were both going swimming in deep water . You are both very courageous gutsy cyclists as are your friends in your group today . I used to cycle on all sorts of terrain and weather but nowhere near as mucky and wet as your route , it was great to watch your video in a nice dry warm lounge at home , I could never cycle your route you cycled today 💪👏👍🚴🏻‍♀️🚴‍♂️ well done all 👍😀

[@julie-wheelersatlarge]

Cheers Peter... I took a sharp intake of breath too, as i put my foot down under the bridge.... It was freezing, 😅🤣😅. We did find a fair bit of sogginess!..... I enjoyed it despite the early bath!

[@pawelbaran59]

Oh my days that was a very wet ride indeed. That under bridge knee deep water I thought that was quite risky to go through there. And yes Paul Green is back again well done to him.

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Yes, I had forgotten about the deep mud under the bridge which made it really hard to pedal through the water... 🤣 Cheers for watching

[@sergioelcoyote3586]

wonderful ride on wet roads, is dangerous ride over wet roads, but i see you enjoy it so much, greetings from Argentina

[@WheelersAtLarge]

It was not too dangerous on the gravel bikes with nice wide grippy tyres. Thanks for commenting 👍

[@Jaqaroo]

So much water! That opening section was like cycling down a canal!

[@julie-wheelersatlarge]

Haha, it felt like it too! 💦💧💦🚴🚴🚴

[@joydwaddell6771]

Wow! That was an amazing ride for it being SO wet, but you did it! Bravo and I bet you are really ready for Spain! LOL! Take care you two!🥰

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Thanks Joy, we are definitely ready for Spain. It better not rain while we're there 🤣🤣

[@user-ec9ut2qr2s]

Thanks soggy Mike and Julie. I remember soggy. Now, mine is always perspiration.

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Cycling in the sun didn't really happen last year for us, hopefully we'll have more luck this year...

[@paul1542]

A great ride guys 👍🏻🚲 that looked so wet and muddy but good fun and so deep in places 😮 keep peddling 👍🏻

[@WheelersAtLarge]

UK winter 😄 A good ride and thankfully not cold and the sun did make an appearance 👍 Cheers Paul

[@Countrystock]

Hahahaha...... thanks for that Julie. OCD under control

[@julie-wheelersatlarge]

Haha Andrew! All my ducks are in a row! 🦆🦆🦆

[@scottydoo919]

That was a lot of water. Brilliant ride guys.

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Thank You Scott... Spring is coming, hopefully less water soon 🤣

[@MartinWoodman]

Good ride guys and well saved Julie at 13.30. That slide looked exciting. I bet there's some work on your bottom brackets and wheel bearings from deep water and all the grid this time of year. You must be looking forward to Spanish sunshine😎😎

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Cheers Martin for the comment. Yes looking forward to Mallorca, not long now... The gravel bikes are due for new bearings in the wheels and BBs ready for the summer 👍

[@user-ec9ut2qr2s]

I only see water to drink. Victoria fire season February.

[@Teifilass]

Wow I thought it was wet here in Wales. Lovely ride as always, wow great news on the subscribers, I’m not surprised tho great vlogs. I’m just binge watching to catch up with you again. It hopefully will bring my mojo back and i will drag my bike out again soon. Ps loved the water splash especially the b comment I laughed so much.😂

[@WheelersAtLarge]

All meant in good fun I know he'll get his revenge, I just don't know when🤣. Looking forward to some more video with soothing music and fast Welsh downhills 👍

[@user-ec9ut2qr2s]

I would need a boat for that route.

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Yes a boat would've been perfect 😁 maybe a fat bike for extra buoyancy.

[@Danthemant1000]

What brand is the gentleman’s sunglasses? They look good!

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Thank you Dan... They're nothing special and very cheap but are comfortable. Thanks for watching... Scvcn Cycling Glasses Photochromic Sunglasses from Ali Express

[@micks61]

A grotty start weather wise, some humungous (but fun) puddles and a sunny ending - good ride!

[@WheelersAtLarge]

So glad we decided to take a chance on the weather Mick, definitely worth it 👍

[@ChrisyC567]

All that was missing was a little run to make that a mini triathlon... Lol

[@WheelersAtLarge]

😄👍 you're not wrong...

[@charlesboundy5355]

Hi. Loving your videos. I ride anywhere between 20 and 50 miles around my home in North Devon but the day after I suffer with the munchies! I always eat porridge before I ride and if I am going over 30 miles put a bar of something in to snack on and have a good meal afterwards but the next day I could eat a horse! Any tips or how do you guys combat the munchies? Thanks

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Hey Charles thanks for commenting. I find eating very difficult to control once I start, Julie too but to a lesser degree. I don't know what the answer is but I find that when possible a much easier fasted 'recovery' ride the next day takes my mind off food. You have more hills to contend with around your way so I don't know if that's even possible. Good luck and if you find an answer please let us know.

[@charlesboundy5355]

@@WheelersAtLarge many thanks for your speedy reply. Appreciated. Keep the wheels turn and the camera on as videos like yours just give me the kick to put more miles in.

[@user-ec9ut2qr2s]

Cyclocross training.

[@darrenelbrow5144]

Jeez I didn’t realise there was that much water under the road. Sorry about the e-bike. Dodgy knee. So wouldn’t be able to ride at all without it

[@julie-wheelersatlarge]

Don't be sorry Darren, it was great fun and was so good to ride with you again! 👍🚴🚴🚴

[@davidburgess741]

Next time bring SPD swim fins and thermal swim trunks!

[@julie-wheelersatlarge]

@@davidburgess741 haha, yeah, that was so deep! 💦🤣

[@simonguard5087]

How are your wheel bearings, BB etc😂

[@darrenelbrow5144]

I was more concerned about the charge port on my bike

[@WheelersAtLarge]

All good, I think, the powermeters are still working too... I think we got away with it Simon 😀

[@doskraut]

No way would I go through ponds like that, get my speed cadence sensors wet then they die on me.

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Yes, we were lucky, the powermeters are fine. We seem to have got away with it. Thanks for watching 👍

[@nealslatter6125]

What tyres are you using for this sort of ride?

[@darrenelbrow5144]

Most of us had winter knobbly gravel tyres. Better than road tyres when our roads are covered in water and farm debris, plus they cope better with potholes

[@WheelersAtLarge]

Julie was on 38mm GravelKing EXT and I had 45mm Pirelli Cintaurato M. As Darren said good grip when the roads are mucky like that.

[@user-ec9ut2qr2s]

Too sloppy.
