CYCLING UP A VOLCANO, TWICE!

[@christianwagner4928]

Nothing makes me feel more like getting on my bike than watching another episode of The Cycling Tatooist ! Another great vid, thanks !

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thank you so much! Means a lot! 🙏

[@Will-pz1lf]

Here is me dreading a 400ft climb this morning

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🤣👍

[@Mr-P00sh]

Mental..... I attempted the climb 3 years ago from south of island... I took a wrong turn and ended up 15-22% for ages..... Was totally cooked... Gave up.. So mental kudos doing it twice... You beast!!!

[@richardseverin8707]

Man that’s one hell of a day out on two wheels ! I just don’t know where your energy & enthusiasm comes from ! You need to bottle it up and sell it 😊. I’m currently in Grand Canaria as I write this but without a bike and to be honest the wife would kill if I mention bikes 😂. Keep doing it for the Brits Thomas 💪🏾👍🏽

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🤣🙏

[@carlruston5332]

My word Thomas I’m sitting watching you from the comfort of my Truck egg sausage sandwich latte and even still you make me feel tired fair play top viewing well done 🎉

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🤪🙏

[@ShawnIsBatman]

Absolutely awesome as always! If your goal is to be one of the most personable, relatable and entertaining cyclists on KZbin then you have achieved a massive success! I would love a video about your approach to training. Do you follow any sort of a structure to your training or is your volume of riding your training? Love the channel!

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Aww thanks so much… that’s great to hear! And yea I plan to do a video along them lines at some point! I’ve just started training with a coach so I’ll tie it in with that… 😁👍

[@Richz2]

Looked like Joe Dombrowski went flying pass you on Teide!

[@xnoideawhatimdoinx]

3:00 thank you for providing the metric height as well! Cheers from grey Vienna!

[@m1les7]

Man that must have been savage!! Fair play 💪🍺 Ace vid, love your constant enthusiasm ❤💪💪🏁🏁

[@ciarsz]

Great video Thomas Thanks man ,class to see the Astana rider under pressure :)

[@J99WKS]

I just drove this route in a car today and that was bad enough! Fair play to you mate, that’s some ride! 🙌🏻

[@carlstatham594]

lordy. I did it once three days in a row. The best was the back road from Playa de Americas. The T563. Much quieter to suffer on. The descents are mad. I remember cycling down and going through the cloud cover freezing to death and then heating up as I went down. Best descent and the most boring climb route (I avoided it) is the T38 as there is only two corners and the first one can be taken at full pace. If I go again I'll use the bike shop, they transport you past the horrible coast roads so you do the wonderful bits of Tiede and the west coast. Great place. I want to do the other islands as well.

[@YeeFeng]

Was just in Tenerife and climbed Teide twice from PDC in two separate rides…absolutely beastly of you to summit from two different directions!!! Bravo!!

[@Garybaxter1]

WOW!!! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏 You are the Terminator😁

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🤣🙏

[@El_Ultimo_Kilometro]

Well done !!! 👌🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💪🏻

[@anthonyholmes1704]

Brilliant video, makes you want to do it. Excellent Performance!!

[@chrismoreman2289]

Great effort Thomas. All that riding and you're filming as well! Keep up the great work.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🙏🙏🙏

[@6F2]

Proper ride.....love it

[@carlobalzer3238]

Looking amazing Thomas great view ☀️⛰️🏔🗻

[@E30OG1]

Honestly every video I watch of yours humbles me I always think I’m half decent and then you pull out this madness 😂 animal

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🤣🤣🤣 comparison is the thief of joy!

[@aliherbert8519]

I think your becoming abit of a cycling legend mate .

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🤪🙏

[@KrzysztofArciszewski]

You're mental to have done this climb twice! I had enough after the first one. Kudos to you mate.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

It’s a tough one! 🥵

[@KrzysztofArciszewski]

@@TheCyclingTattooist yeah, it was a long day in the saddle for sure but as long as you have the gears, it's like riding flat only slower. Try something hillariously steep like the Zoncolan or the Angliru with live commentary, I'd watch that vlog for sure. Cheers!

[@rolandmarichal1250]

Standing ovation for you! That was something

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

😁🙏

[@piotrvv]

road surface up there looks perfect

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🙌

[@matthewavignonpetersen5893]

I climbed a volcano twice today as well! (In Watopia 😂) Amazing content as always, cheers Tommy!

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🤣🤣🤣

[@maniastrat]

Wow Another good one! Thanks!! nearly 17k climbing is big! I am happy to have found your channel & it is excellent watching! Thank You 😉🙏

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thank you! 🙏

[@Fbn_Nglng]

Stunning video mate. You inspired me to book Tenerife for April to experience the beautiful landscapes and climbs. Have a wonderful Sunday :)

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Amazing! Enjoy mate… 😁🙌

[@richo7751]

What anabsalute beast! Your content is always something I look forward to.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thank you! 😁🙏

[@stephenrobinson1604]

Unreal ride. What fields do you have on your Garmin.

[@agentofart5425]

Great effort!

[@rykadabyka6047]

Great vid. I've had the pleasure of riding up Teide several times and not once did I find it easy, but the descent was mind-blowing.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Yes definitely not an easy one for sure! 🤪

[@robspurling]

Brilliant 👏👏

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🙏

[@steveinfante6878]

Its brutal climb mate. I hope i can get one of your sticker. Thanks 😊

[@nicolascanete3707]

Hey, great video!!! Watching from Spain :)

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🙏🙏🙏

[@vitacanis1]

I struggled up it on an ebike from los christianos. I'm in my mid 50s and only a recreational cyclist. Thomas TOTAL RESPECT!

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🙏🙏🙏

[@douglasbracken7562]

You are inspirational!!!

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🥰🙏

[@letriciabrowder2942]

Always worth the wait! I get super excited and look forward to an upload 😊

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

😁🙏

[@chrisphillips7517]

Awesome man. Love the vid. Great effort 💪🏻

[@SASIJ]

I'm be doing that climb in a couple of weeks time, cant wait. I'll take your advice on the weather, i'll pack a vest.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Don’t forget gloves as well!

[@SASIJ]

@@TheCyclingTattooist Respect, found one way hard, but it was boiling, which made it worse, no need for vest. Ran out of water, really struggled. So the lesson is, there is two scenarios, cold or hot, be prepared.

[@GoLongWithJayLong]

Awesome videos mate enjoyed that!, am out here myself at the moments got a few hard days up to Teide planned

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Hope you had a good time!

[@brianwilson3881]

You must have a good camera Thomas as the video is crystal clear. Great to watch

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

It’s just a go pro 8 to be fair… 🤪🤘

[@geoffturner9719]

It puts my 25 mile spin into perspective!!

[@rioblast]

Hi Thomas. Great videos, love watching them. What do you think of the green/land coloured MAAP long sleeved jersey?

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Sorry for the delayed reply… not sure what exact jersey you are talking about, but all of the maap jerseys are perfect, fit/quality/style… I’m a massive fan!

[@johnmcnulty1129]

Awesome ride Thomas, well done. Sugar's your friend Calories are your friend Salt's your friend and sometimes CPR's your friend !

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🙏🙏🙏

[@soslowpace]

lol i have climbed mountain first time in my life last year in switzerland last year, and i gotta say forget everything about avg speed when climbing up the mountain, just enjoy the view. Because i got my hard cramp lesson first day :( and second day was more enjoyable and fun when i just went with the feeling instead checking my speed.

[@ianrichardson4558]

great vid thomas what an athelete well done 👍

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🙏🙏🙏

[@triathlonfat2fit]

GTN have done a video on the island of an extreme steep hill so you should go give it a go. they tried on full TT bikes so you got this bro

[@stuartmclean3843]

Cool video bro

[@TheGazavman]

Wooo well done ! your fork is shaking when you are going down or you are shivering ?

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Yes I was shivering 🥶🙈

[@TheGazavman]

@@TheCyclingTattooist Woo it happens to me ounce going down under the rain with 5°C and without waterproof jacket, I had to stop, could not ride any more ! Now I laugh of it, now !

[@rheadonabike]

Thomas you love your land of pain 😂🚵 although to be honest …. I love my climbing as well 👍 It’s a shame you live in Essex , where there ain’t alot mountains 🏔️😂

[@rheadonabike]

Plus I’m loving your channel 👌

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Yes it’s definitely flat around here! 🤣

[@daviddemoise3526]

Ouch! I did 118 miles this Saturday with 11,300 feet of climbing, another 5,000 feet would have killed me!

[@daveirvine]

Great vid - love your content! How do you get the elevation profile into the video? I have started to creat some cycling vlogs and would be great to be able to incorporate this 🙏

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

I make it the graphics in photoshop and then overlay them in premiere…

[@daveirvine]

@@TheCyclingTattooist cheers!

[@conordennehy8121]

Love the videos! You've made a new fan :D Just wondering how you go out on such long rides with no saddle bag? Thanks!

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

I just load up my jersey pockets… on reeaaallly long rides, I run a frame bag! 😁👍

[@gravelbikemark]

Hi Thomas what camera are you using to talk into is it another go pro? Thanks

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Yes go pro 8

[@grahamgair7717]

Epic as always. I don't think I do that much elevation in a month 😂😂😂

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

🤣🙏

[@RixnoAsteres]

Requesting a full intro song version on spotify. Thanks

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Unfortunately it was a one time thing… 😢

[@RixnoAsteres]

@@TheCyclingTattooist aah shame.. Best intro on youtube hands down. And i’ve been on the platform since the early days.

[@letriciabrowder2942]

Will you be racing any crits any time soon?

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Yes I plan to… 😁

[@greenmarketheating]

Fair play 😅

[@kevinpattersonjones6621]

Did it 2 years ago, still haven’t fully recovered!! 😅

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Maybe one day… 😁👍

its nice to see you learnt nothing about timings from your trip with Ben and Lawrence and once again riding in the dark lol

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

You’re too right! 🤣🙈

[@CyclingMessiah]

Tenerife seems like a way better place to train for events compared to Mallorca !!!

You need a cameraman in a car

[@trentonhodson1675]

Hell of a day on the bike mate. I gotta say that you would feel a ton better if you ate good food. That fried shit is gross. Keep up the good work though.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

This ain’t my first rodeo… and I know my body! There certainly isn’t anything wrong with a few fries on a ride like this… I had plenty else to eat as well! 👍
