CYCLING FULL GAS AROUND RICHMOND PARK!

THE CYCLING TATTOOIST - EPISODE #22
In this episode I firstly do something that I hate... and drive into London. After all the lockdown chaos the world is going slightly back to normal. My lady is off to have her first meal with friends, so I use this as an excuse to go cycle around Richmond Park... the cycling hub of London.
Now I couldn't go all that way and not at least go for one fast lap... and thats exactly what I done. Although the conditions weren't in my favor, nor was my body ready for this kind of effort. Regardless I gave it my all and I go full gas attempting to take on the highly contested KOM.
13:23 was the time to beat, now I was expecting to get anywhere near that, let alone beat it... but how did i get on? Did I fail? Check it out in this episode...
I also try out some new tyres, which are the "Pirelli P-Zero Race Clinchers"... after riding them this day and for a while now, I must say these really are a great tyre choice... highly recommend them! They are a brilliant balance of fast rolling resistance and good puncture protection.
I'd like to hear what you think, if you have any suggestions or if there's something particular you'd like to see... maybe you could even set me a challenge to complete? Hit me up in the comments...
Anyways... Thanks very much for watching!

Go nice and early, no traffic. The KOMs in the park are mainly set by groups riding together. Very strong effort.

[@TomGledhillMusic]

Oh my days, that's a rapid lap! 👏🏼

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

😁🙏

[@tomhalliday2522]

So sick! Loved the graphics on the full gas loop! Some serious watts!

[@kelvinfoote9897]

Was he ill? I didn't see that bit 😕

[@jeffmiller4098]

Love the overlays, do a vid on that mate? Cheers!

[@oatesprojects]

I love the reckless riding, it makes me wince 😮

[@andywhiteside1547]

Quality mate. That’s a rapid lap for that time of day btw, the Onyx boys are smashing those laps out early doors paceline effort Loved the video, and catching up with the others. Great vibe

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thanks! Yeah I’m planning to go back for a quieter lap at some point... 😁👍

[@jetthepanda]

15:30 is bloody fast! I'm hoping to get under 18 or 17mins this coming summer. The guys with 13mins had a different person waiting to lead them out on each segment, they also would have done it super early in the morning with no traffic.

[@veloman59]

That's a great time,👌despite, the traffic.

[@carlbryan2227]

Your right London is mad busy 😀💪🏿

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Yeah I can’t handle it... stresses me out! 🙈

[@gregflowers83]

Great channel mate

[@jadixon4]

Dude love the vibe of the videos. Keep it up and if you come out with merch sign me up!

[@FanaticQuattro]

Amazing video! Cheers mate. Can you do a gear rundown? As would like to see your bike! Keep up the great work. 👍

[@nathnath5684]

Legend …. You got at least a minute to shave off that with the traffic. Top 0.5% on lap two. 🍻

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Maybe I’ll go back again soon... 🤞

[@JB-bl6ky]

Nice work 👌🏼 new subscriber here 👍🏼

[@GS-pk9rd]

Good video. Heart in mouth for some of those overtakes! The KOMs look to be held by a chain gang and at least one is a pro/ former pro. Top half percentile for a solo effort is good going 👌

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Will go back for another lap at a quieter time sometime... 😁👍

[@lothburke2243]

Yeah to much foot traffic on that segment. There is this guy in my town that go's kom hunting at 3am lol he has loads of KOMS. Like taking candy from a baby at 3am .

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Yeah that’s the time to do it…

[@PauloBurgio]

Ye, what Mark said. Bike spec / cost. and where you get your good quality clothing from

[@v1rus9]

Motley Crue FTW.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🙌

[@theademerckxfiles9967]

Great Vlogging - bit too long in the car though ☺️ Im guessing you’ve raced before. If not you should. - you would do well 😍

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thanks... and yes I thought the same, and almost cut the whole shoe fiasco out... but ended up leaving it in as thought it was too funny! 😁👍 I done a few races last year, I intend to get more stuck in this year for sure... 🙏

[@theademerckxfiles9967]

@@TheCyclingTattooist Brilliant I look forward to that race day Vlog

[@ConradWilliams400m]

i reckon you could go quicker with less traffic. good ride

[@jamesbong2985]

how do you put power/speed overlay in your video? Virb Edit doesn't seem to have those guages.. did you custom them?

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Yeah it’s virb... you can change the gauges how ever you like.

[@alainpryt9641]

👏👏👏👏👏👏👍👍👍🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🚴🏻‍♂️🇫🇷🇫🇷🇫🇷

[@2552legoboy]

clip on aero bars.

[@engerland4532]

When cycling in Richmond Park it is important that you ride 2 or 3 abreast and then swear at motorists when they they and overtake you. You must overtake cars going up or down the hills, breaking the speed limit. In short you must behave as if you own the park and be as obnoxious as possible to all other park users.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

I take it you’re not a cyclist! 🤣

[@chrisjie2127]

Imagine getting triggered by cyclists in a park. Lol.

[@medwido]

respek pal, very speedy indeed. best to go there pre 7am, i got caught on the downhill by police with laser gun at 37mph and had to appear at magistrate court (gbp 90 fine)

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Oh really... I’ll watch out for that next time.

[@Itsbengriff]

I hope you got a solicitor for this. The Royal Parks and met police both confirmed the speed limits don’t apply to cyclists. Were you done for reckless cycling?

[@kelvinfoote9897]

Looks pretty good and a fast run but wouldn't really call it ' exciting stuff' . Flying downhill on an MTB. Now that's exciting stuff! All relative I suppose.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

What’s exciting about this is pushing yourself to your physic limits... riding down hill isn’t exactly physically demanding! And as far as adrenaline goes... I get that from riding my bmx! 👍
