my neighbors are absolutely happy [Music] better late than [Music] never it is welcome to East London [Music] natural natural all right what is going on you lovely lot if you’re new here welcome coming back welcome back so today it’s just me and my guy Rock we are riding to Margate London to Margate for the first time it is a random route that we have found it’s supposed to be a tailwind the entire way but so far it’s not feeling like that at all so we’ll see going to be cool just two of us not much drafting not going to be sprinting much later on the ride is 95 miles from the start to Margate we’re meant to start in Shortish High Street but I end up meeting rock somewhere in east um which he was magnificently late for um yeah so it’s 150 mi 100 miles 155 km should be a good one let’s go that was not authentic but Oh look at [Music] this that is nut [Music] i think so so we got our first uh coffee shop cuz Rock was late hasn’t had a coffee yet that’s the excuse plenty and plenty of stops because just the two of us we have no uh no worries about anyone else coffee ride cafe pace no some maybe some surging and that’s about it [Applause] [Music] [Music] come on [Music] car [Music] up a nice little route there it’s nice and green down here i think there is a coin down here well about to hit a climb so uh see you at the top [Music] don’t worry about the [Music] tire we are absolutely smashing it we stopped at top of the hill to grab some uh some sweeties and back on it almost got t-boned by a car that was fun last time we came this way was with sin rock had already turned off at this point like just just gone dusty away a little way ago it’s really nice just me and Rock so conversation is uh limited cuz they taking in turns on the front mainly me and him on the front and me on the front downhill him on the front flats it’s really good really good fun really enjoying it i’m having a great time uh people were doing very good for time i think I might have been lying on that point but anyway it hasn’t only spat for a second hasn’t been raining since so fingers crossed and I am absolutely [Music] roasting so just over a third of our ride now we’re starting to surge cuz the uh clouds are getting grayer and grayer keep going from being like super slay hot dripping off my forehead chilly gate fully done up you know I’m getting blown around by the wind promised a uh tailwind and we’ve been gifted a headwind and five of 11 climbs as well spent [Music] It’s nice yeah but the fitness is not there my fitness is never there thank you i just got fat shamed by uh Brock’s Garmin so I told him there’s a car behind so he shouts car behind and that just meant me mean oh [Music] Canada [Music] there’s definitely not [Music] building i’m going to die [Music] this can’t be the scenery when you get out here can you but look I’m at home back in the shower yeah [Music] only when I missed the turn didn’t he all right so we’re 45 miles in so we’re now half we’re past halfway or we are halfway feeling good nice coffee stop uh we’re only halfway we’re only halfway dang it and it’s Oh it’s like quart 1 holy [ __ ] we still have to have a drink and get the train back all right all right all right we’re behind schedule let’s blow it all right is it blow it let’s duck let’s duck yeah let’s duck all right i don’t know what any of these phrases are but apparently it’s what the cool kids say [Music] yeah in the search but like is quite lovely we’re like 52 miles in from my flat [Music] this guy loves to miss a ton don’t he absolutely love it you know that thing on your on the front of you it’s got it’s a it has a map attached to it it’s always left turns you miss as well it’s not right [Music] you’re always always slower at the back because you always have to anticipate the stopping as well yeah yeah and you got one arm and then theing jersey it’s hard work huh and the breathing oh let’s not start with that [Music] we are heading into some naughty gray clouds here go and get soaked going to get real sold [Music] so we’re currently in this stage of trying to work out whether or not we should go all the way to Margate or just stop off at Wistable oh [ __ ] it we got a smudgy lens because essentially like we’ve not been going slow we’re averaging 28 km an hour like was it just on 18 miles an hour average on my uh head unit but like it’s almost like 2:00 the day is like going we’ll give it a little push we head to Witball see how we feel i think it’s only like 20 mi from Witzville 10 miles or something well the whole route is from short it’s from a place called Ferb Cafe which is a photographers’s cafe and film developing lab in short which is really good for coffee and has a nice outdoor seating area there are no no other cyclists on the road i haven’t seen I haven’t seen any since after that cap it’s a good route so far yeah [Music] bro take me [Music] home it looks like you’re barely pedaling from behind look at the speed we’re going just coasting yeah just coasting by the coast [Music] nailing it all right we are by the coast pace has been blistering side winds have been horrendous look at that from London to water the absolute dream we’re still trying to decide whether we’re not going to whether we’re going to go back from Witstable or back from Margate cuz the weather is getting really really strong winds like Rock’s front now he’s wiggling around cuz he’s getting hit by the side wind trying to record me recording myself but we basically been hitting a headwind the entire way and now we’re just getting blown into side winds front winds a lot i don’t even know if you can hear me now cuz it’s so so windy so yeah still trying to work out what we’re going to do oh my god blown into a bloody curb um yeah we’re going to work out what we’re going to do but anyway we’re probably going to stop get some food work out what to do literally ass killing me though but I’ve had I’ve had a great time been fun just been fun us too been nice to have like a little cruise together but nah we’ve been smashing it let’s continue [Music] so as you can see how dark it is now we have decided we are going to just get the train back um but it has gotten really dark and the weather is looking like it’s really about to turn it’s been raining while we’ve been out in the beer garden so off to Whitmore [Music] station but we are [Music] copouts cops the weather is turning real quick [Music] oh yeah okay let’s do that okay wait terrible round two [Music] gear Dad [Music] you’re right man you’ve been putting big numbers today celebrate thank you today cheers man feel it my rear door has actually decided to stop working which is really inconvenient really inconvenient so yeah having like no rear derailer is really annoying and it’s stuck on stuck on middle what felt like an age to get there just gave up on it to be honest maybe next time when there’s more of us less stops we stopped quite a bit we had two coffees and a pint no I had a classic little ride really good amount of climbing my Garmin’s been shouting at me since we got off the train from Victoria right now i am losing the will to live but we were pretty quick average uh point of getting to Wixable was like oh 28 km an hour or something not too shabby we had a great time just two of us yeah I said too many stops maybe that hindered our time but we did it it was fun we saw a beach we took some pickies that’s us thank you for watching see you next one peace and love peace [Music]

Another fail? All I see is another big vibe video <3
Great vid again🎉. I live in this part of Kent, looks like you were cycling along by Seasalter just outside of Faversham. Great when you get a tail wind on that road, cross winds are nasty on that stretch especially on deep rim wheels.
Big up the Channel ❤
Putting out huge numbers on the climbs, whilst juggling the camera work. 🤙🏽 it’s not easy I’ll tell you that. The Kent hills were something else, no wonder it’s dubbed Garden of England. That late start (on me) and 4 hours of sleep didn’t help. Mission failed. We’ll get ‘em next time.
Nobody is failing brother
I fail to get out of bed sometimes.
Fantastic run it really brings a smile to my face when one of your videos pops up Filming mint music mint route mint Just mint .ps have you not got two batteries on the rear of the bike?
Just found your route on Strava, as I wouldn't mind doing a similar route out east> But, dam, you took a very southerly route, around the 40 mile mark you missed an incredible descent, or climb when I found it, Vigo hill, by Trottiscliffe. But I reckon if you would have gone directly along shooters hill till Dartford and taken the B260 east, wind through the hills and countryside till Rochester, could be a nice chilled ride. Once you get out of there, I think you could stick near the river. Anyway, good ride overall, shame about the weather, I guess that was the main contributor to heading home. Next time, I'm sure you'll do it.
