Cycling to Another Country to go Bike Packing

After taking 5 months off the bike, and not really having done anywhere near enough training. My bike-packing trip from Roscoff to Cherbourg is suddenly upon me. The first part, ride 100 miles to Plymouth to catch the ferry to Roscoff. What could possibly go wrong!!?

have you got your passport got my passport yeah otherwise it could be a very short trip you got enough stuff um yeah Jes traveling in luxury traveling light traveling heavy I got everything that you haven’t got I think if I need anything see yeah let’s crack on them right so we’re now roughly about 30k in we’re heading our way now through the lanes been on Main Road since we’re going direct to Plymouth today 100 Mil I haven’t done 100 miles for over a year and uh I’m a little bit terrified and excited to be going to France today passports on board we have fully packed bikes and we’re heading to Britany and Normandy so we’re going passing mon San Michelle all the way up to Sher Borg so from rosoff to Sher Borg basically through the north of France it should be epic the weather was a bit iffy today and we’ve got got lucky cuz it’s now sunny but we have another 130k to do to get to Plymouth and I am so excited there is also a huge discrepancy about what I’ve got on my little bike and how little Pete’s got on his bike so one of us has forgotten something or one of us has got too much so we’ll find out over the next week excited Pete I’m excited yeah I am wondering what’s in your bags and not in my bags it’s almost like you’re carrying half of my stuff probably side this is It’s glorious camera equipment is one one thing I’ve got way more than you I’m a mobile Film Studio you are indeed I have nothing I have just this just your phone I’m excited yes it’s going to be good we’ll be in France this time tomorrow we’ll be s in France I’m just looking forward to the first coffee stop at the minute [Music] ha said I can take it but I think you should let me go cuz I need some [Music] time cuz it has been too long since I got any sleep yeah it’s been a [Music] while since I’ve gotten some time just for me yeah I need some [Music] time I think I just want to feel like home but these days I just feel long gone and I don’t know how to make it right I’ve been trying to F it I have said I can take it but I think you should let me go cuz I need some time cuz it has been too long since I got we made it through exra 93k on the clock we know we’ve got the next big Club coming up we’ve got about three or four of these but I think the last 20 30k is all downhill to Plymouth that’s that’s my goal is to get to there um we had a brief stop in Holton for some refreshments and I was dying on my ass at that point uh the black down Hills had kicked my butt um and I had serious doubts I’ve lost C how many times I’ve said sorry to Pete today but um yeah the food kicked in and we’ve had a good last couple of hour hour and a half we’ve flown along so 199 3K in was that 70 to go so we just got a 70k bike ride that’s easy is it when you just say it like that been a very interesting route on it Pete yeah we made good progress and we needed that we were a little bit behind schedule probably but the uh the scenic bit was the black down Hills yeah and a few tiles I had to get from M Minster just before I told we were going the most direct way it was actually to get tiles but uh yeah we’ve come directly through extra and that was um not pretty but NE s wasn’t the Prest just got to get to Plymouth [Music] now you say it’s always step too far but I know that i’ played my part I’m hurting you as [Applause] [Music] well sorry oh I got over the red bit thought that wasn’t too bad and then it kicked up again and the map said it was yellow there’s no way the same thing to you it got worse after the red there wasn’t that that was steep I had to walk killed [Music] me this has been a really tough day we’ve made it to the of Plymouth we’re in the ground of suum house on the bank of the river I have been broken for the last 30 km I’m just keeping going cuz I don’t want to let peek down but I think we’re going to make it in plenty of time and this look at this I’ve doubted myself several times today especially on the climbs when I can’t go any faster than 8K an hour Pete’s patiently waited at the top for me but we are now 100 58k we got 4K to go so I’m going to do it no matter what but I can’t wait to get off the bike [Music] [Applause] [Music] I think we can officially say we’ve done it what an effort [Music] uh yeah kind of coke I think now you happy now I’m reled we needed to be here by night it’s [Laughter] 857 what a day oh yeah I can’t wait off the [Music] bik a me8 hours on a boat now get a shut ey and rest eight you said it was eight when it getting eight how was is 10 time difference though uh Ros off on the Bo lingerie first thing tomorrow yes pleas that was a tough day out I haven’t filmed a lot today cuz that was how tough I was finding the ride like can barely hold me bike up the camera so I am done in hopefully I’ll will find some energy tomorrow got a kind of COA out there that I’m about to murder yeah this is which idiot plan that ride why why didn’t we stop off halfway and go on Saturday and make it a nice cushy little never suggested by either of us we didn’t even think about it yeah we could have got 607k in last night St just past hon we’re all past all that ridiculous clone in the black donals
