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.

Epic!
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?🤷🏻♂️
Back to the old school vedios we love nice and simple
Awesome work, well done 👌
You’re Awesome, thank you for sharing😊
Well done Thomas. A huge inspiration for those big challenges😀
Fantastic ride…..do it in June 24 for the daylight?
Great effort Thomas. Good pace on your own over 11hrs.
Hey dude 👍one of your best vlogs ever 🚵♀️🚵♀️🚵♀️congrats from Quebec 🎉
This channel never disappoints! 👊💪
Great event, really enjoyed it this year. Nice video
Well in top lad!!!! What size of bike is that?
Can carry a bottle in the jersey pocket, even if just a bottle of Lucuzade . Nice one
Great video. Awesome effort
P.S. love the colour of the knicks
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. 😅
Well done dude awesome mental strength can I borrow some ? Just a little bit plus be nice to get some ink from you
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.
I can't believe you did it and finished in the dark and with a puncture , amazing 😊.
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 🙂
Great video and well done
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 ?
ah man that puncture at the end was harsh, great acheviment bro. Hope I can do the ride one day! Great content brother!
Cool ride bikes t-shirt.
Brilliant Thomas, before my Op was crashing out the miles but struggling at present
Thanks for keeping it real 👍
I stopped at the Carpenter's Arms on CTS too. Great BLT for lunch 😊 @10:01
Great video buddy, try the USWE 1.5 liter hydration pack if your struggling to fit water bottles on the new bike, that’s what I did ind find it fantastic
Great ride, excellent video 👍 Bike sizing is an obsession of mine, just wondering what frame size you have and how tall are you ?
