EPISODE #174
For the second year in a row I am attending the Tróia – Sagres event… a 200km unsanctioned “race” here in Lisbon, Portugal. This ride has gained popularity over the years and now thousands of people take part every year… its an incredible thing to be a part of, its a right of passage for cyclists in Portugal and definitely one for the bucket list…
I’ve probably said this before… multiple times, nut I think this might be the toughest ride I’ve ever done! It was absolutely brutal… but now I’m looking back and have forgotten the pain, it was a lot of fun also!

insane effort man!! one of the best if not the best video of yours so far 🙂
Amazing effort! Pushing like that, whilst filming – with the camera in your mouth, and talking 😂😂 full respect 🫡
Hey Tom great video as always mate . Any advice on the best way to train to compete in this type of events. as I feel I won’t even be fast or confident enough to compete? Thanks again great video as ever 💪
Wow Thomas
Insane fitness and heart rate
Congrats on the effort
How good r the TGV group
Merry Christmas brother
Check out the Tour d'lac sportif around lake Geneva. 180km in 4hrs 20 (average: 40kph) – so bang on your 200km pace. Winner did it in 4hrs 9mins.
Crazy mate. Absolutely class effort. Have a fantastic Christmas and happy new year. Looking forward to 2025 content
Absolute quality ep❤
Woah! What a ride, how you got back on the group I’ll never know! Merry Christmas to you and yours TM too.
Insane
YEA¡¡¡¡ THOMAS, IS THE BEST VIDEO YOU MADE, MAN¡¡¡ SO FAST 💪
That was brilliant, you’re a strong rider bro!
Average heart rate?
That was absolutely brilliant
Looks like you’re well integrated in the Portugese cycling community🙂. This must be one of your best videos, seriously. Great shots, suspense, narration, music, it’s all there. If there were prizes for best cycling content this one should be up on the top step imho. Fantastic Xmas to you and your family. Cheers!
That TGV group are serious cyclists well organised and very very fast! Well done Thomas……
Great effort and great video. I don’t think I’ve ever used my smallest cog ⚙️ 😂
At 5:44 that guy bunny hopped the curb in between the two poles going prob 38 kph, that was crazy
Insane how you caught back up with the train! Epic man, well done!!
Beast mode engaged. Sat here on the traps in awe at the stats. Congrats and merry Christmas.
This is making me want to go to Portugal for my next adventure in the new year. Smashed it
Great ride, that all out effort at the Carrapateira climb was quite something. Top!!
You are one fucking strong tattoed cyclist! Hats off to you, Thomas! Love your videos!
That is some effort. Watching trying to find my own inspiration after a poor 2024 on the bike due to my little girl being born, but seeing you empty the tank like that makes ready to smash 2025!!! Merry Christmas to you and the family.
Thomas amazing performance well done excellent content 👏💪👍
fodese..🤪 what a brutaal ride Thomas..🤙
Wow!!! 🏎️💨💨💨
Who else would have ridden that aextra 1.91km no matter what?
Being ablet to slowly catch up to the TGV team after hours riding has to be one of your greatest cycling achievements!
amazing
What a great group of guys. I'm very envious. But it must be about time for MAAP to sort out an honorary TGV kit for you Thomas… 😉
Merry Xmas to you and yours too.
Fantastic watch
Loved this video, you are awesome! HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!
Can’t believe that the majority of the guys had no lights on whilst riding in the dark
What an awesome bunch of guys to ride with… so strong too!
ThNks for making me want to ride my bike Thomas Appreciate all efforts to keep us entertained ❤ happy holidays
