Mike can you really weigh 266 lbs. ?
Nice Fondo Mike very well done, enjoy your day, i guess you missed the yee haa's in your ears.
120 kgs whoa i thought i was heavy at 76kgs😂
266 lb brute riding flat strap for an icecream wow !! Get everybody off the road and organise a police escort ! Now 😂
Good to see you cracking out the watts, well done 👏
GOOD going, you keep on going!😉👍
Great ride Mike! You don't hang around! Just keep pedaling.
Loved the final Yee……😄
Great ride, Mike. That's exactly what I tell myself every time I go out, "Just keep the pedals moving." Cheers.
That ending 🤣
Well I reckon those numbers are very impressive – 18.9mph over 62 miles? That's pretty good going in my book!
Great stuff Mike!
Mike, you do yourself an injustice a solo ride of 19mph isn't slow by any means.
Liking the stats on the banner………strong numbers 💪
What light do you use to protect yourself from potholes at night even in areas with street lighting, and at what speed?
What do you think of the Merida Scultura Endurance 4000? Im thinking of getting one next year.
Great looking rig – what handle bars you got?
That was a superb ride Mike, 62 miles at 19mph while vlogging! You sir are an Apex rider 💪🚴🏼♂️🙌
Great ride Mike. What was that animal 🦒 that slowed you down? Looked like a goat 🐐?
Great average over the Fondo distance!! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
I often wonder how different my cycling would have been if I had have started before losing weight instead of after it. I feel like my legs would have been stronger just from carrying myself about. I was 125kg before sleeve surgery and 70kg after it when I started cycling on my 50th birthday, but the rapid weight loss also lost a great deal of muscle and I felt weak for about a year. Even though I have been training for a couple of years past that now I still don't feel like I am as strong as I used to be (might be in my head though, I never tested myself pre surgery). At least my power to weight would be similar I guess.
I look at your power numbers and whimper, Mike. I am still working towards doing my first 100km ride, lol.
Nice one Mike. Very nice indeed!
Yes yes no ye he's lol!. Do hope she gets better though ha!.
19 mph average😮 Must have had a tailwind the whole way! 🔥🚴🏻♂️🔥
Bloody hell chaingang speed if you was in group!!. Mk 1 racing snake for sure!!. Brilliant speed for that distance!.
That's impressive, Mike.
…..I rekkon the "Yee hahs" would have been inspiration enough to get you clear through the lights and smashing 19 mph,,,
What saddle do you use? As a fellow cyclist at large, the physics bearing down on my sit bones becomes a real discomfort on long distances. I've done saddle fittings, but still haven't found one that works well after long distances – and I mean discomfort that distracts from everything else kinda discomfort! I currently actually use a leather Brooks saddle which is the most comfortable but it boats in the middle which can cause numbness as a side effect. Sorry for the graphic details, but it is something I'm guessing us heavy cyclists all deal with.
A very famous cyclist lives in West Stafford.
I’m in Dorch but often get ride coffee at Rockets and Rascals Sandbanks Rd, have you tried it?
Can you send off your speed and effort to my New York Giants 😉 and come on Julie, toughen up girl 😉
I’m lucky if I hit 19 mph on a downhill 🤪
Fab effort, Mike, please can I draft you on one of your next ice cream / milkshake rides? 😂 I'll obvs. get them in…🍦🍦
You might be a larger fella, but you'd knock spots off some of the 40 yr old round my way. You're a machine 💪 fantastic effort 👍
