route what our 4,000 ft 1,200 m is so that’s quite fun nothing big but I think we end up on the North Downs it’s quite nice not knowing where you’re going at all ignorance is BL ignorance is bless you’re taking my winville virginity christe oh cute we’re making our way through some lovely little English Villages and I’m going to challenge you one thing here name me one thing better than the smell of freshly cut grass as you cycle through an old Countryside English Village past a pub with wooden oak beams built in simply the best thing you can do on a Saturday morning what’s Christy’s what’s Christy’s favorite thing to do on a Saturday morning go to the beach cish and chips and S [Music] [Music] time for the pocket quason who doesn’t get a second quason for breakfast it’s all coming good now M this is a glorious ride I highly suggest a pocket Pano shakala for your next ride little toilet break to the seaside with the gang having a toilet break and it’s turned into like a snack stop that’s what you said wasn’t it you were like I need to sort out my snacks for ride London how you feeling Christy pretty good milk but gagging for a o wi you canat how you feeling minty you know this really is sorted me out I was feeling good but now I’m feeling even better God it’s it’s beautiful around here I don’t know where we are we’re somewhere in Kent [Music] say proper Saturday um chill group ride it’s been lovely the Root’s been so nice so far I don’t know where we P the the rout from but it’s just all back roads so there’s no so few cars it’s been lovely but it has been does make the ampage speed a bit slower cuz it’s kind of not quite so nice fast Road oh my God look at this I [Music] want white chocolate rocky road I’m going to grab a coffee here and then um we’re going to have fishing ships when we get to wior sorry where are we West Ming West Ming so we’re we’re we’re in West Ming I just said it just said it out loud and then just repeat it 100% recommend what is it we’ve got a filthy Oreo flatty Brownie and you’ve got fruity Flapjack and what do you rate the fruity Flapjack um good moisture levels yes important and good taste yeah 10 out so 10 out of 10 eight I’m review and the dirty Flapjack FY dirty brownie also moist which again an essential part a good so what do we what are We R in this oh I gave this a strong eight strong eight yeah and that was like a weak okay yeah we eight all around two more climbs and then it’s downhill until [Music] where right we got 45k to go we’re coming into what either the last or the second last climb I think it’s second last climb and chance just to put some Watts through the legs nothing too crazy uh because we got ride London tomorrow so trying and keep it a little bit chilled we’re getting there 45k girls are good haven’t eaten anything other than my two Quest on this morning we good yeah clip um yeah but it’s been lovely so far chilled nice riding Countryside tons of cyclists I’m going to drop the GPX to this route down below cuz it’s a route that’s all B roads so it’s very out out the way of main roads he says while cycling on a main [Music] [Applause] [Music] road Last Hill done and dusted this isn’t a route that lends itself to Pace lines and just like hammering it it’s perfect if you just out on a group ride and you want to hang with a group have a laugh you want to hang with a group you want to hang with a group like have a good day out and just really enjoy it because a lot of the roads are like real B roads which make it hard to cycle on you know you got those typical country lanes with the mound in the middle of them yeah but it’s all been quiet roads just absolutely gorgeous I you know recommend it for a day out Che as we approach the seaside are we I’d like to be able to see the sea I can nearly see the sea the last one to see the sea is a silly [Music] sausage last 10k of the ride cuz we’re getting close to the coast it’s a massive headwind but it’s turned out to be a hell of a day not the quickest ride we’re finally on some natural a roads though which you can ride on but it has been so nice next stop is fish and chips in [Music] wible I can literally smell fish and chips [Music] job done all we need to do now is get some fish and chips like I said not the fastest ride cuz of the roads we were on but in terms of an adventure ride where you were on just like quiet country lanes it was really really nice so it’s perfect what we’re looking for today and now I don’t really know where we are but we’re on the East Coast somewhere in the UK we’re going to try and grab some fish and ships sit by the seaside [Music] 30 cotton chips and donuts there you are [Music] there quickly operation take them to the beach no faing operation no faf Beach [Music] all right time to eat this is this is literally what we’ve been waiting for I’m so excited for it the girls literally can’t speak they’re too [Music] busy what we rating the donuts then it just needs some Jam okay so I’ll give it a seven that’s a good donut like in this current moment it’s like a nine and I think if You’ given it to me you know Jam in the rain on the side of the road like I wouldn’t it wouldn’t like your it wouldn’t like my fire [Music] be okay the fish and chips was excellent probably rate the fish and chips like maybe an 8 8.9 the fish was just Exquisite that was really good the donuts on the other hand this is these are hitting the spot these are really hitting the spot freshly made there’s about a million calories in this so much sugar these are a 10 these are an absolute 10 are you happy ladies 10 out of 10 Pig and right any final words Christy um I really need the L we’re going to wrap this one up here guys we need to jump the train that takes an hour and 20 minutes from wior back into Central London then I’m going to have to cycle to my car and then drive home it’s not the most kind of environmentally friendly cycle trip I’ve ever been on
