Hello my friends and welcome back!
Things are looking up… Hope you’re all good? This was a lovely sunny weekend and surprisingly hot. I had 14 hours this weekend and the stars aligned, so decided I’d try a challenge; London and Back in 10 hours. A little ambitious but London is a great destination, and a great endurance ride too.
Hope you enjoy 🙂
Look after yourselves friends, Andy

I once did 175 mile loop in 9 hours. Was on a TT bike and only had to stop at a few intersections and maybe 3 times to grab fuel and water. Freaking amazing ride for it's efficiency. Still look back on it a decade later like it was a dream. TT helmet too.
Wooow… Thats 241km! My biggest ride was 107km and I was absolutely bonked. You're amazing and an inspiration, im so proud of you for getting so strong! 😀
And as always, great tunes, and beautiful shots of the country side and stuff!
With your recent chat about nutrition off the bike, has your on the bike nutrition strategy changed too? It would be an interesting insight on these longer rides coming up to hear how much food you get through and what the "schedule" (if any) is! Best of luck for Saturday 💪
Impressive ride – about 4 hours is the most i can mange without at least a quick stop but if you don't stop how to do you keep fuelled ?
nothing too bonkers? 🙂 excellent ride Andy, you smashed it around Richmond Park – it's a 20mph limit mate!! strong ride..that final climb up portsdown always hurts but it's good to then roll back into Pompey! nice one
Great work. That’s a big day.
Very well done
What does 7500 calories of fuel look like?
Impressive!
Andy, thank you for sharing your experience and training. That was an epic ride and great music. I thoroughly enjoyed this most excellent video.
Great ride Andy! That looks like a nice route.
7,500 calories is a LOT of bananas…!
Fantastic riding and video! Good luck on your workout this Tuesday!
Well done andy. Another step forward. I cycled from Ashford to London via Greenwich and when I'll get into London it stop start stop start all the way. I'm clipping and clipping off. Was not a joy but it's ticked off now. Never do the journey again. Keep moving forward
Hi Andy, I enjoyed your video, could you please tell me the location of the chapel @ 58sec's on your video? It looks beautiful. Thanks.
good luck at Goodwood was hoping to go this weekend but back injury has kept me off the bike for now
32 hr 30 mins. round trip.👍
Nice one Andy! glad your training's going well, so you should be nicely prepared for the Omloop.
😎😎😎
crushed it buddy well done my friend you are strong AF well done
Well done on that massive round trip 👍👏. Good video. M25 closure was jct upgrade at Wisley, still queues around Hampton out to M3 @ 7.15pm so had the traffic been clearer you may have been a few minutes quicker. Sunday Richmond Pk is the Newbie group brigades of 20-30. Too many like you encountered around :11.00 mark… max effort on the climb then more or less bonk immediately… that’s why
I haven’t gone there cycling since 2014 & I live max 6 miles away 😂. It was bad enough back then! 😮
How does your Mrs let you out at the weekend for 14hrs 🤔
What bike shorts are you wearing? Like the idea of the pockets if that’s what I’m seeing.
Well done on th ride.
