    Back from the glasses I think we’re going to be late we were holding on and holding on and the rain did stop so a good decision in one way the rushing out the door I forgotten the glasses which is only going to make it worse all right we let the runners go

    First see how deep it is at least we can half pedal oh no they’ve given up no it’s not that wet surely yeah just stay in the middle don’t think about it just get on with it you there I’m here yeah hello good morning wheelers at large

    We’re out again it’s not raining at the moment let’s leave it at that blue sky though look hope it stays that way for a bit we’re riding into blue sky so let’s hope never know no stay on the road oh that’s true okay okay I can’t believe that this is any

    Deeper than the one we oh know just a minute yeah no this is deep low gear keep [Laughter] pedaling woohoo oh that is deep oh well I’m already wet who cares oh no oh no keep going Julie you can do it you can do it no get in the [Laughter]

    Middle oh she stopped foot down never mind so much for yeeha in here not a chance here she comes oh my God I’m going to be in trouble now she said go the roadway I said no got mess about with the crossing then at least this way we can keep

    Going apparently I was wrong oh there’s a few of us hello hello hello hello hello hello are you joining us as well no I’m not oh what shame I was really excited we all know Darren Alro okay he’s got a new name his new name is Darren Ebro

    Oh we got water standing water again uh not too bad well the ditches are still full as you can see yeah plenty of room don’t worry there is a few of us though okay I’ll s turn the corner look at this whoa you not me in the face oh

    Dear I have got a sort of mug guard but it’s more an AR Saab for me than anybody else this is where we wait for Darren to come steaming through yeah just we actually went the wrong way so we’ve just climbed this hill and we’re going back down it

    Yeah at least we didn’t know we’ gone the wrong way and had to climb it well uh yeah I had the wrong route on I’ve LED everybody up this hill for no reason but you know let’s call it newor miles newor training miles does mean we get a nice fast downhill now car

    Up let’s give him space that was nice yeah it was it was a nice downhill I enjoyed that it’s a bit Mucky through here but uh hopefully very little in the way traffic it is a gravel ride after all you notice there’s no squeaking of brakes there

    Morning yes I’ve gone back to the AliExpress super Cheapo Discs now I know they’re going to wear out in half the time but they’re definitely much quieter I might still do the same on the road bike as well cuz those Shimano ones absolutely brilliant in the

    Dry fantastic don’t get me wrong but in the wet with the pads I’m using possibly that has a bearing on it I don’t know just so noisy it’s rather a pretty Church there I do hope there’s no holes really didn’t fancy going over the bars there bike was going out in [Laughter]

    Front yeah I’m just going to slow through it that’s my bike complaining there’s a cut through up here somewhere and it just means we got less time on the main road than if we went up to bloxworth and down which is actually a a good mile or

    So so we turn right here it’s going to be fast but it’s going to be short even though it’s is a 60 MPH limit well it’s 40 here but it goes into a 60 you can guarantee everybody’s doing 7075 this should Now take us into the

    Back of we and Forest in fact I would say those trees right there are the back of we and Forest when you cycle you find paths like this Little Gems that you can’t drive along we found gravel I mean it took a while but we’ve definitely found some oh I can hear

    Darren yeah you can hear it it works harder doesn’t it when it’s Offroad onto the main track little bit of sludgy stuff to get here the mountain bike definitely has the advantage here woo [Laughter] [Applause] oh that was fun they’ve all barreled through I didn’t I was careful I should have barreled through

    Too it wasn’t as scary as it looked anyway welcome to W and Forest my gears aren’t working at front H yeah we and Forest does suffer with the water a lot more than the New Forest so you get a lot of flooded Trails like this but uh generally the gravel roads are pretty

    Good right through it with some confidence he says before getting thrown over the front definitely a countdown to our uh newor trip now y not long I’ve been in the gym a couple of times get myself a bit fitter I’m still trailing following behind uh seven Speedy men but it’s

    Keeping me on me toes there’s my super cheap AliExpress discs with cooling fins they work really well actually they just don’t last along you need to be aware of that right we’re leaving weam Forest behind and uh make our way into weum and have a coffee okay right middle of my cassettes

    Playing up why is that I got a stone stuck in there or something I’ll have to check it in a minute we and Pizza and Kebab about do me to be honest I mean it’s not the ideal Diet before New Yorker I’m guessing but sounds good oh that looks nice we got carrot

    Cake the biggest piece in the world apple cake Dorset apple cake oh wow we’ve had our coffee stop I have a sausage roll and a cappuccino a very big sausage roll so I’m not sure if I’m weighed down by it or given energy by it heading towards the on rspb

    Area bird sanctuary whatever it’s called and now we’re not now we’re heading to cor Castle you know what my boots are really good I’ve got um socks on winter boots which are um northwave um I’ve got Gators and I’ve got shoe covers I have literally sunk my feet in

    Water more than once today and my feet are toasty got horns amazing to think isn’t it in the summer look at that we bring the road bikes through here crazy thank you de I did as I was told we’ve been through there before and that

    Uh hole at the middle there is uh bike wheel sized everybody got through nobody died and now we are riding the river fortunately it is all downhill that said I’m having the pedal quite hard because it’s quite grally and soft too I guess all the sand gets washed out from between the

    Stones that makes it soft it hard enough again in the summer this is UK gravel [Laughter] riding everything we have is tarmac or this this is a bit bupy oh no woo that was Interesting got a bit hiy Doodles yeah right have an adventure there yeah well done right you did get the adrenaline going that’s for sure not really had a chance to have a proper one-on-one chat today have we but I would like to take this opportunity to say 3 and half th000

    Subscribers where did that come from thank you everyone and for the comments yeah it’s fantastic thank you very much missed that puddle hit those two instead pointless exercise serves me right but not looking far enough ahead oh that’s deep that was much deeper than they expected you

    Bastard some of us make a bigger Splash than others right we’re on Ferry Road on our way back to the ferry nearing the end of the ride going to go along the clifftop and home just click over 40 miles My Wo is telling me to drink which I will when we

    Get to the ferry ticket man’s this side so we guessed right I say ticket man I may have got that wrong the last time we were on the uh sand banks Ferry we were with uh Paul Green Paul Green cycling and despite our best efforts he has recovered from illness and is making

    Videos again yeah riding here you got to be careful got door zones as well so it’s best not to be too close to the cars that are parked look at that see is reasonably flat it’s even starting to look blue again we’re almost back there’s four of us the other four

    Went the other way nice long downhill to come to but uh that’s the end of another great ride on the gravel bikes I do feel like I’m ready to eat something now I haven’t uh struggled really even though this has been a fasted ride for me 2,700 calories burnt it’ll be 50

    Miles by the time we get home an average of 13 uh what we got average what 210 so not a bad ride that was all right wasn’t it very good decent yeah very good glad we came out I mean it was peing with rain when we left but yeah me too yeah

    Worth it you got to make the decision and go with it haven’t you sometimes yeah so so if you’ve watched this far into the video thank you for watching us click the like button and join us for the next one and yes Andrew Lord I am

    Going around the corner to round it up to 50 me I’ve already reached 50 it’s nothing to do with me

    1. Well done Mike Julie and crew, excellent ride,
      Don't listen to Mike Julie if you want to go the road route insist that he follows your orders., at least you would have had dry feet.
      It's not just your area that's flooded we have the same mud and floods

    2. Hi. Loving your videos. I ride anywhere between 20 and 50 miles around my home in North Devon but the day after I suffer with the munchies! I always eat porridge before I ride and if I am going over 30 miles put a bar of something in to snack on and have a good meal afterwards but the next day I could eat a horse! Any tips or how do you guys combat the munchies? Thanks

    3. Wow your video had me taking a sharp intake of breath!!! ,it looked like on many occasions on your watery 💦💦💦🚴🏻‍♀️🚴‍♂️ route you were both going swimming in deep water . You are both very courageous gutsy cyclists as are your friends in your group today . I used to cycle on all sorts of terrain and weather but nowhere near as mucky and wet as your route , it was great to watch your video in a nice dry warm lounge at home , I could never cycle your route you cycled today 💪👏👍🚴🏻‍♀️🚴‍♂️ well done all 👍😀

    4. Good ride guys and well saved Julie at 13.30. That slide looked exciting. I bet there's some work on your bottom brackets and wheel bearings from deep water and all the grid this time of year. You must be looking forward to Spanish sunshine😎😎

    5. Oh my days that was a very wet ride indeed. That under bridge knee deep water I thought that was quite risky to go through there. And yes Paul Green is back again well done to him.

    6. Wow I thought it was wet here in Wales. Lovely ride as always, wow great news on the subscribers, I’m not surprised tho great vlogs.
      I’m just binge watching to catch up with you again. It hopefully will bring my mojo back and i will drag my bike out again soon. Ps loved the water splash especially the b comment I laughed so much.😂
