That’s Why this bag is grown on me so much I really enjoy it and when I have longer ride especially Andora with so much I need to carry with me it’s just absolutely a brilliant pocket holder for gels a lot of other stuff so if you are interested in maybe some of these custom
Bags contact me and maybe I’ll contact people to get you your own person personalized custom bag that I recommend you know on this channel I don’t recommend a lot of stuff but after doing MOA a thks with that with it not irritating me with it not touching my
Knees as it’s modified to a Slimmer fit um I can definitely recommend that but anyway this is not what this Vlog is about today let’s go out and enjoy this Loop the three nations we’re going down Going we going [Applause] Die going Funny thing about those Andora buses whenever they behind me my phone picks up Wi-Fi and I start getting social media messages because I always ride with my phone on airplane mode in Andora cuz I don’t have a SIM believe it or not there’s so much Wi-Fi all across
The only person that has a SIM card is my wife so interesting fact if you were wondering but I do have a international Spanish Sim cart that works pretty much everywhere around the world except Andora because of expensive roaming costs so believe it or not Alex Zid used to
Live just yeah it’s 2,000 m above sea level in the middle of nowhere but uh he had a great season even wanted tour even won a stage in the jro that year so the altitude must have helped him but uh he’s moved back uh to the UK since then
But uh I’ll show you his apartment right now Alex used to live in this block but uh I thought I’d give him a shout out since we used to be teammates happy retirement Alex again so unfortunately I need to go over the mountain can’t go through the tunnel would have been much easier but uh not complaining more calories to burn so I’ll be going over p and Valera over those mountains into poera beautiful Loop very famous Loop and the most
Common Loop for professional riders in Andora if if this mountain is open and if the weather is good Okay so just cred at the top of p and Valera heading down into pastella Casa and a long a way to descent into poera so uh lovely lovely day Andora cold but uh you know Andora you’ll really appreciate these uh these conditions I shouldn’t be going around switchbacks the phone in my hand
Here again you told me you just want to be friends so I act like I don’t understand go ahead now be the man let’s pretend I don’t know but your little PL look so cute and innocent you’re as lost as Peter p up the b instead I told you whenever you
Need me just call it they want to hey that’s what suppos to say okay so this is the last Andora town I’m basically passing through so heading over the French border now some more descending coming up and uh yeah roads look okay for descending okay [Applause] Here we go finally some rock and roll except that you’re just a s stone too hard to stay in control anymore you got to good and that’s your problem I know you P there no other still want to be my friend the B you said WR bab scary I
Used to try to smile and deny it yeah I’m sure your dad still thinks you’re great so normally I get water in that thing but if I’m going to walk there with my cycling shoes it’s going to be wet my feet are going to be freezing so
I’m not going to do that today so I’m going to have to go an hour without water but that’s okay I don’t even say I got nothing to say okay so I just stopped in Cera for a BT of uh water and uh then we’ve got a
Nice flat section all the way home with a small drag in the end and the usual 3K climb from mandora to masana but surprise surprise there’s even snow in poera so quite snowed quite a lot of places this should get me home so I mean it would have been nice
Stopping having a coffee but that would just completely destroy the benefits of the training of a long ride uh you have to keep your metabolic rate high and by stopping I drop significant so me stopping for coffee would just deter the good training that I’m doing and the negatively impacted if you’re wondering
So no coffee stop today and benefiting as much as possible from the ride
