    RACING THE SUN ACROSS THE COUNTRY!



    EPISODE #112
    I’m out on a mission to tick something off the bucket list… I’m attempting to cycling from one side of the country to the other. It’s a 200 mile (322km) journey from the east coast to the west of the UK. I’ve been wanting to do this for a very long time and after missing a recent event called “chase the sun” I decided that there’s no time like the present.
    But as per usual things didn’t quite go to plan, can I push through and make it to the finish line. Place your bets.

      Absolutely loved that video, it’s incredible how your mind tells you that you can’t do it but you can. Your content is unreal, keep up the great work 👊

      Great video Tom. I have a question.
      How did you do the ‘logistics’ for this? You stayed in a hotel when done but at the end on the train back you have a t-shirt on, did you carry a change if clothes and shoes on the bike? Couldn’t see how you carried shoes?🤷🏻‍♂️

      Love the content buddy. Come check out Dartmoor sometime, I reckon you'd love it down here – were very lucky to have some really scenic routes.

      Power to ya mate!

      Chapeau! I managed a 200 miler last year with some mates and it nearly killed me! We started at 4:30am and finished about 9pm. I got home and was physically sick. Promised myself never again. 😅

      Hi Thomas, great video as per and live the content and this adventure on a whim. But how did you carry clothes for the return trip? Trainers, T-shirt etc? Looked like your frame bags wouldn't fit any of that.

    21. Alistair Lattimore on

      Congratulations on ticking that off your list Thomas! I completed Seattle To Portland as my first 200mi ride recently, the sense of accomplishment of a big effort like that for the first time really is great 🙂

    23. James King on

      Tom when you do rides like this how to you get back home after the rides ? Do you get someone to collect you or do you find your own way back ?

    24. Mithen on
