I attempted to RACE a train across England, on a bicycle.

thank you Chris for taking up the race challenge. Check out his channel here! https://bit.ly/2rUggu6
We figured it would be a funny idea to race from Lancaster to Darlington via the North Yorkshire dales. It was 115km and the train takes 3hr30. Meaning I needed to average around 33kph over some pretty gnarly terrain. It was a lot of fun, and very painful. The loser had to wear an inflatable sumo suit!! Like if you enjoyed!!

Trains in the UK in the first four months of 2019 there was almost 2 million train journeys planned making trains the third most popular form of transport in the UK and making britain’s rail network the fifth biggest in the world however only sixty nine point four percent of those trains were actually on

Time meaning that over 30 percent of train journeys planned in quarter one of twenty nineteen were at least one minute late late now that gave me the idea is cycling quicker than taking the train okay now I get it in a straight line obviously a trains gonna be quicker they

Travel at like 150 miles per hour at the best times I’ll be doing about 20 25 25 BuChE what about if we took a little bit more of a scenic route those train lines dotted all over the country you’re probably no more than a few miles away

From the train line if we take a journey from Lancaster over towards Darlington via the North Yorkshire Dales it’s pretty straightforward route in terms of cycling it’s 115 kilometers the entire United Kingdom however if we wanted to take a train through the same route we have to board the train at

Lancaster head south towards Manchester east towards York and then finally north towards Darlington total time three hours 30 and me being me you know all competitive and that I decided to give one of my good mates Chris a call and see if he wanted a race State-recognized obvious division the circular let me get tell if you want oh wait where are ya can’t see ya yeah yeah All Right see you there I guess it’s on yeah alright alright I get it our acting was was pretty subpar Leonardo DiCaprio your job is safe for now now not only does

Lose after buy the coffee’s when we get to Darlington they also have to wear this absolutely atrocious inflatable sumo suit complete with wig guys you’re gonna want to stick around for this one [Applause] Tickets been collected we’re now off the dolly Janine oh hell that saw me cut on the gel army remember when they didn’t want to call me now I can’t keep up Tommy need no help to stop me gonna win the dare that army remember when they

Didn’t want to call me she doesn’t stop me don’t stop me it’s intimate here just go into Manchester cameras just answered Yorkshire Dales National Park indeed I had Chris and I was flying [Applause] I think we lost the minute to fool an cast with all the traffic which at the time hasn’t seemed that significant bluffing in a couple hours comes down to the wire I might be thinking about that but Motel Ridge the hood you and a 15k the Train

Is three and a half hours in total that means go robberies twenty point five miles per hour or 33 K and the first half of the rides all uphill but my one saving grace is no there’s no wind today so we’re going to beat him we’re gonna beat them [Applause] I thought what goes up must come down remember that kids [Applause] enjoy the black For the duration of the race Chris decided to stay in his licker I don’t think we’ll ever know the real reason why but we can only assume anyway I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t growing in confidence at this point I was over my target I was feeling good and I was

Steaming that was a bad puns deeming ad to Darlington Brice so we’ve just arrived in Manchester we’ve already done 53 miles so it always come now I’d only have another eight miles to go and I’d be that aids in we’ve come 53 miles back down south to now travel probably 70 or

80 miles like north which makes no sense whatsoever but anyway here we are in Manchester Cameron is currently somewhere in the North Yorkshire Dales just over a decade ago and just like 50 miles an old money we’re about on target at the minute but I’m starting to suffer man

I started to stop a 2kl live in Lancaster but now I’m really starting to suffer the scenery Hello everybody welcome to Manchester Piccadilly the next nothing So we’re currently in others field that’s where we are that’s where cam is and that is where we’re going this if it hits traffic I don’t think you’re balancing by chance look how far away we are so at this point in the race Chris was down in the

Dumps and he was certainly emotionally eating as the crow flies I was definitely much closer to Darlington however Chris had 4,000 horses on his side and no bird to contest [Applause] magnificent I’ve averaged 175 beats per minute [Applause] So temps fall down right now there’s the handle there’s 12:32 right now that means Chris’s train arrived and exactly two hours an hour and a half we got 64k to go which is about 40 miles yeah you made things more than achievable but you’re riding over the North Yorkshire Dales

Almost not quite sure hey George it down all right yeah so far we’re kind of on target boy went out pretty hard to try and secure a decent average it’s just but holding on now for the last two hours and be in print chart because I don’t want to be

Rowing up flipping sumo suit screech I give up now mate this race is mine [Applause] the Sun dies The total amount of climbing for this ride there’s sixteen hundred meters about twelve hundred of those come within the first half of the ride so my game plan my strategy if you like was go out a little bit harder in the first half you try and hold a decent hour

Bridge and then the second half is kind of hang on and I hope they have a bit more favorable terrain so there are 23 K to go and now is the point where I’m starting to patient for that first half right so we’ve not even arrived in your

Gear so we’ve still got one stop and what should be a half an hour trip that’s going to take longer than half and currently though comes live location has gone down so the last time we buy a yeah the last time we checked he was just outside a place called Richmond

Which is pretty close to Darlington but as it stands they have no idea so maybe is crashed I can only hope his crash to be honest that’s the only way I don’t wish y’all fortune I mean that’s the only way I’m actually gonna win this thing now you

Safe but that said yeah don’t worry is he is actually so maybe is it the coffee shop now I don’t know again Chris remains disheartened and still in his cycling kit gazing out into the Yorkshire Dales questioning how he’s going to return home this evening to his wife after losing the challenging having

To spend the afternoon dressed as a half naked sumo wrestler at this point the race looks like it was over or was it the wind started to pick up and it’s not in a favorable direction not really went in the last hour so whoa no I’m gonna gonna fall off the back of a bike I thought itself caution tanks and I’m not talking about me this just tech you saying slowed it out the mind games already begun still over an hour away I had to dig deep inside the talent pocket for that five o’clock I lost 0.8 of a kilometre average and

The climb that’s less than a kilometer I mean the talent pocket in that deep at the best of times two minutes Darlington is next stop Oh my god is he here so just arrived there’s nowhere but the whole other town halls I don’t know how beat him enough take the tunnel from the end entrance of the rear we’re gonna penetrate you through the behind here behind our town hall there it is here it is is

Christopher here that is the big question up three and a half hours smashing myself I don’t think he is look get aside and Christopher is nowhere to be seen I’m genuinely I’m genuinely look at me I’m covered in it I’m covered in crap I’m average heart

Rate for three hours and 25 minutes was 169 my heart ain’t gone that fast for a long time stop Hillman I’ve got a person for you I need to check your stats first before need to make sure this is legit may I I averaged 169 beats per minute scare and this time

And I’ve been here that long I’m cold now so the answer is ladies gentlemen should you ride your bike or use public transport let’s ask you a question cam yeah how tired are you I’m a kid Did you do sumo wrestling Site you see every day’s not gonna say shots and it’s like you forget involved today and accepting the challenge of racing me from Lancaster to Darlington even like in this video ghost shots okay I can you leave a lighthouse video because we need some extra revenue because Chris lost the 150

Pound coke on today’s video dedication glad to leave on the train on the train it’s my subscribe to Chris’s channel wash it links down in the description below Yeah fly-in Brian stirred in dog poop oh he’s at a nightmare right so I don’t know if the the Camerons actually gonna be able to keep all me because I am renowned as a bit of a runner under me and champion in in school- but I want to run a soap 1100 meter

I feel like Cameron should have won this because basically just looks like I’m walking around naked oh you better shake yeah but as Cameron would have actually felt what it feels like to be me for a day so I’m really a for physics when I’m quite enjoying it
