Today is going to be an epic day it’s Easter Sunday which means chocolate and secondly most importantly it is mountain bike XO race day and we are heading to mat the Basin in Winchester for round one of the Southern XC series and this is going to be the first round that’s

Going to count towards the national ranking points so the big boys will be out in force today’s race is fueled by toties and cakes but fear not we’ve got the rice pudding again on Deck ready to go so let’s get there let’s get racing effortless right then we’re heading straight out for practice

Because we’ve cutting it fine to get on get on the course otherwise I have to go out before and last time we raced here this course was an absolute mud bath so need to give Del booy a chance to clean the bike if uh if it is Muddy but sun’s

Trying to come out look up there the the start bit normally goes all the way up that long drag you know your man hates drags but it looks like a Tailwind so will sucking is going to be key today rocket are you excited she’s not happy

It should be illegal to put a bike race on Easter Sunday we should be doing Easter egg hunts that is what you said if you have children you just said it should be you so I didn’t say it should be illegal George I just said when you’ve got

Children what if they want to go and do an Easter egg hunt then be a bike race well bikes comes first put some eggs out there hunt them while you go around right let’s go do some practice let’s go shred [Applause] Bro It’s going to be a spicy one it’s not muddy but it’s that mud that’s like I don’t know that like really draggy stuff and you feel like you’re putting down all the power in the world and go nowhere and there’s a few of these little drags like what I’m on now not

Good for these noodle Legs look at this the rocket getting a picture oh wait getting our picture done with Captain America that’s it we’ve made it we’ve made it it’s a privilege for us celebrity look at that those muscles aren’t aren’t good for XC though no they’re not at all they’re good in the

Woods but that’s about it they’re good for the old barging people off but that’s why I’ve got skinny arms and that’s why he’s fast and I’m not spicy course that is for sure and what more could you ask for than reading your book on on the South Downs Way in a

Car park what a treat for my lady on Easter Sunday have some chocolate later rocket but yeah the mud’s like really sticky I was trying to explain it when I was going around couldn’t think of the word sticky and it felt really hilly like to people that don’t race in the UK

That race abroad will be like that is not hilly but they were just like everything felt draggy uh what excuses have I got today rocket I’ve eaten too many cakes too much chocolate you did a bit of DIY oh yeah the DIY I’ve got to get my cycling excuses in but right so

That’s that’s the it’s not that muddy to be fair which is good little bit of mud on the tires but it’s going to be full on right then the full squad’s here minus Ben so I’ve been promoted this weekend well for the next 6 hours till

Dell booy gets home I’m number one son not it so I’m the favorite son so the my last video blew up I’m practically Mr Beast of cycling now we got like 13,000 views it’s on and people were like who was that guy dropping the bottles in front of you it my dad yeah

It’s my dad trying to sabotage my race they are some new viewers it was this guy but we are ready to go because Ben’s not here as well I can uses rollers this week someone did ask how do we fit the bike on the rollers Dell booy’s done a

Bodge job to extend it bodge skilled engineering skilled engineering look at this when Ben’s not here the anthem gets a full clean but you know I try not to always jet wash if possible look at this it’s better just to wipe them down I think and just decrease the chain properly

Otherwise all the bearing joints get hammered all the time yeah that’s the motel I live by at the moment just wipe it down when I get home missed bit I got that yet got chop chop just uh getting ready to warm up and this is Peak

Athleticism look at d boy go on this how you fuel the pits cherry on the top it’s got fruit in that’s one of your five a day come on right oh I don’t have the power to [Laughter] Tom was ring it a minute ago he must

Have the power yeah but I got C son yeah he’s got big boots on Tom was riding it you must have the power got more power than Tom no I’ll take your weight Easily hey mael do you think georgo is going to win the race or do you think you’re going to win me you’ll beat him I need them stabilizers off your bike though for my race can gejo borrow your stabilizers do you need them why is he going super fast he’s

He’s going super fast he’s getting ready for his race the pain saddle I’m has to remind me to stand up I’m not standing I’m not racing I’m not a lot in there oh that’s Comfort Comfort at his highest level got no BS s right then it is

Showtime the plan of action is to take one bottle on the bike three gels after seeing Dell boy uh bottle handing up last week won’t be RIS handing them up we was throwing them at you I won’t be risking that so one at 20 minutes one at 40 minutes one at an

Hour roughly if we Bonk off after that can’t do much more can you we throw you a rice krispy cake yeah throw me a cake when I’m going along have we got anything SP the only sort of fossil that D has crack that I’m testing out a New

Jersey as well the colors you get a arrow sleeve need that today but the colors aren’t quite as good so we’re trying to decide or going to ask them if they can adjust colors a little bit but I’ll still look look fast [Applause] Ride will got George [Applause] Got George [Applause] [Applause] [Applause] got [Applause] George rocket Got Jge Oh that hurt real bad legs started to cramp at the end I think our second I think uh was in front of me he was the if he’s he’s got another lap yeah he’s got another lap thought you about to have a Sprint that’s why I was cheing you the

Lad in front of me was Elite will and he’s got another lap and I didn’t want to be a chopper and go past him because he’s just towed me around the whole race um oh yeah that really hard fin up I think I was second yeah

Thatb it’s like and even when you’re not climbing it’s um real draggy in faces I lost the bar end again oh it’s cuz I’m so tight to the trees yeah I’m hitting the trees is the problem he came past me and illegal Arrow socks how long his socks were
