CYCLING 140KM AS FAST AS WE CAN!

[@alexobrien5565]

Mate seeing you grab the coke when they all stopped for a beer was really great. Congratulations on your sobriety!

[@pedrocorreia9256]

Thank you for your presence and video. You're invited back for more laps with this group. And this day wasn't the strongest in pace😅. Cheers

[@valmorell]

Huge congrats on the 1331.

hello friend! you will always be welcomed with us, it is not always the same route, this day was not one of the fastest days but it gave you an idea. See you soon, big hug and continued good videos! #TGVSEMPRE #TGVALWAYS

[@CamNicholls]

A vintage Thomas vid ‘as fast as we can!’ 💪🤙 love it.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Haha thought I’d go for the reboot vibes… 🤣👍 thanks man!

[@davidlewalski2292]

"Savage group rides in Portugal" I love it Thomas! In my opinion this was one of your better videos.

[@raulmarquez5485]

Wow. . . amazing pace! As a cyclist the average you did is amazing! Great content, great video production; you are killing it! ❤🚴🏻‍♂️

[@richo7751]

Definitely one of your best Thomas, and absolutely think you should do the savage rides in Portugal series.

[@Choccytube]

Massive congratulations on 1331 days without alcohol, you are a great advert for for not drinking. The things you can achieve and feel with a clear head need to to be promoted more. This is the thing I struggle with, but you are an inspiration. The break did you good Thomas.

[@kitchen76]

This ride was so fast I had to watch it twice in a row. Saw your Strava stats earlier and was looking forward to this one. Incredible effort riding that fast, keeping on top of fueling and even manage to film. That guy behind you @6:17 when you mentioned your speed.He had to double check his computer😄😄 Unfortunately no pastels and coffee on this one😅 Great job 👏

[@nachoortega8973]

That group is like going in a pro tour peloton. Just amazing dream rides😍

[@catchsmok3]

Happy to see you found some people with high vibrations and so darn welcoming too! Craving that where I'm at!

[@Garybaxter1]

Well done Thomas and the rest of the peloton it looked great..... you guys were flying! 👏👏👏👏 nice video! ride safe everyone!

[@karlj711]

don't you just wish the UK had so many watering places like that. Great video. 👍👌

[@niallmanchester]

I live in the area and these lads are beasts. One of them in the video was on our ride today. When we go full gas he’s just having a recovery ride. 😅

Quick ride , great numbers , loving the videos as always mate keep it up 👌🚴🏻‍♂️💨

[@andrewosborne9000]

That was a great episode Thomas, the speed is scary but great to see you having fun with the locals and no disasters!!!!

[@darrelljones6864]

Great video Thomas, great to see you back at your fittest

[@superdomestiquesd]

Awesome video and congrats on both surviving the ride 😂 but more importantly (and genuinely) your mental strength. The latter was shown both in the sobriety and the hard work to get your ‘new legs’ - chapeau amigo

[@Steve-yo8uh]

Awesome effort mate! Keep up the good work with these videos keep us all inspired to keep pushing the pedals

[@jonashuck]

Already saw this one on Strava and was eagerly awaiting this one. Brutal pace yet you still seemed quite relaxed tbh!

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

It was brutal I can’t lie… but what can I say, the new legs definitely came in handy! 🤪🙌

[@greggjames448]

Ride looked great, footage was excellent and proud of you for not being tempted to grab a beer to fit in 🙌🙌

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

Thank you! Not going to lie those moments are the biggest test of them all… but saying “no” gives you whole other kind of buzz! 🙌

[@aneczka2114]

Big props for not taking a drink! 🤙🏼 And thanks for the great video.

[@HugoPreto]

282w avg power for almost 4hr? That’s insane. Well done and congrats on your “new legs”

[@ruiloureiro3167]

Not to take any merit out, but that is just Strava’s estimate (without a power meter), considering the rider is riding solo, his weight, etc. If you get in the back of the peloton or maybe the middle of the bunch, you can keep up with less than 200w av. power for the whole ride. Not saying it is easy, but it’s not that savage.

Thank you! 😁🙏

[@TC-ik9kn]

and finally you landed in the crazy TGV ahah , nice dudes and really fast pacers, you have some granfondo winners over there and some ex-pro's now and then, true said that in portugal ( i mentioned this to you last week ) there are no fuc** given in road ethics , when the group is large all road occupied etc , this is a bad practice and in portugal will never change. is the only thing that made me feel unconfortable when riden with them :) ( i did several times) ! now, regarding the fastest, they are the fastest, at least for that side of the country t, but there is other groups in the north that have pro riders that are flying under the radar :) keep up the good work!

Wow. Rocket ride. 🚀

[@JohnNews-oy3bw]

Great video Thomas. Interesting to see the number of rim brake bikes in that group and also the number of bikes without deep section wheels ...and all able to stick the pace.

[@TheCyclingTattooist]

That’s one of the things I love the most about guys here… they just run whatever they’ve got, no posers on pinarellos with no watts! Just pure powerful savage riders wearing kit that has holes in… but absolutely ripping it! So cool… 😁🙌

[@andre_bastos]

Superb 💥💥

[@struancochrane753]

Well done, they seemed a really good bunch of people. And swift too, unless we stuck to A roads, here in Dorset we don't have routes to accommodate that size of bunch. To average that speed, with a big bunch like that you need big roads and space. Great that you have got your legs back. Have you had a big uptake on you cycling holidays venture?

Now you should do a group ride with the "Duros do Pedal". I was under the impression for many years that they were the hardest bunch to ride with, but now that I saw this TGV guys ride, I'm not so sure. Maybe you can do a fair comparison in one of your videos 😉

[@MiguelAugusto1982]

"hardest bunch to ride with" *in Sintra/Lisbon area, that is...

I believe you'll find faster guys up in the North. I see guys non-pro on my Strava doing training rides with 33 km/h average on 150 kms and 2500 meters positive climbing. Well, although they aren't pros, they are usually top 10 on our Gran fondo scene.

[@MJHunt434]

Are you learning to speak Portuguese? Could be some interesting videos in that process.

Yes I am… just very slowly! And I think a video of me talking horrendous broken Portuguese would be an absolutely brutal watch! Won’t be doing that… 🤣
