This is just a short ride to help me get used to taking videos again. Its been over 3 year since a uploaded a ride and even then I wasn’t happy with the results.
I’m planning of doing a Super Randonneur Audax this year with is completing a 200, 300, 400 and 600km all in the same year. I want to be able to record and edits these ride properly so I am going to complete a few training ride videos to help improve the quality. I can already see from this video that I have to speak more clearly and get better batteries.
I hope you like these videos and let me know if you know of a way the I can improve. And, of course, like and subscribe as the will help my videos to become more popular.

[Music] God Sage getting that set up good morning I’m back I think I hope I am should be um it’s been a long time since I did any sort of video here think I was looking back there it was 3 years anyway so this is just a task video I’m doing um I plan to do more of these type just short videos of rides I’m doing just to get me set up for longer rids when I’m actually doing events CU it get me used to talking to the camera and and editing I want to try to edit a lot better not just not just a boring video of myself and Sh uh but just to give you a a proper look of what I’m seeing trying to describe how I’m feeling along the way and this year I’m planning on doing uh just STI sticking in Ireland sticking local doing a few AXS um first one is in 2 months training hasn’t been great lately so it’s start oh it’s the middle of March Patrick’s day tomorrow so um I’m just going to go out now and do the late 60k around the peninsula in the Northwest sorry see need practice in the curly peninsula in the northeast of Ireland [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] it always Hur cing into the into the sun because feel the cars behind me can’t see me they be blinded by the sun to me it’s the most unsafest way of riding so I’ll be into the sun there for another 15 20 minutes and then hopefully I’ll take a turn to the left and on towards carford [Music] oh [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Applause] [Music] [Music] is for [Music] [Applause] [Music] we just turned the corner there for see me change dire we just turned the corner there for con I have just 19 K on my right you know still good start a bit of a head here it said it’s an amazing morning the vi I could have recorded the whole way down now yeah coming as say car is the med of a village uh really nice sunny days with pack tourists it’s really nice clubs some nice food recommend it if you ever R do and the views are just amazing [Music] [Music] [Music] he so normally I go the whole way long road here the whole way through a meat and on to neari for i t back from home but I’m going to show you is the cyop paath uh The Greenway from con for are it’s uh it’s quite nice not as fast for me but it’s quite we showing [Music] [Music] [Music] oh [Music] so we’re on the greenway here as you can see nice play this time of day can be quite busy during the day but it’s still only earliest course um it’s SC to 8 in the morning so only a few around you [Music] [Music] [Music] so this the new part of the green WS that I haven’t been on before it is classtic look at this [Music] [Applause] [Music] okay we’re back in the road so the green is not finished there we go when it was unbelievable it’s CL I definitely Ed one it’s fully complete the last section was 2 km long I came to a dead end backtrack head on the road here again which is fine know I’m a bit late has been running a time to get home kids are sports so got to put the H hammer down [Music] there let’s go [Music] right there is the start of near Canal we can cross back there a lot and there’s another bit of a cyle pad over there see that goes all the way into y as say we’re only far from the bed it’s left me a bit short time so I got to get home [Music] time to get closer to nearing it there a psychopath over there not a nice road to cycle on this it’s okay this time of day but I can imagine if it was later on be quite busy quite stressful oh woo okay so we’re on top of near Hill let’s got going here wait me a second got top near Hill can you come on this little path here the mway so then here and then you get the old road back Bo done talk [Music] [Music] sh so I’m back across the border now back into South IR away from the urban environment of M I can just lovely area going towards dund um coming through a place called renad so was not far away from the end of my video and as I said uh at the start of the video this this is just really a a practice run I’m going to do a few of these over the next few weeks it’s really i’ be talking nonsense and trying to Ed it all together and make it look good and that’s what it’s for it’s for practice for when I’m actually doing an event uh I’ll be able to edit it and shoot proper shots not just where with shots like for example this one here I have other batteries for my GoPro and I’m on my fourth battery now I don’t know if that’s set I have on my GoPro or with are old batteries have to figure that out um that’s the point of doing these videos like I’ve only been at to 2 and 1 half hours so there’s no way I should have went through that amount of uh batteries so you might ask why make videos at all well I tell you the truth selfishly it’s reading away from keeping myself accountable it’s hard to get up out of bed in the morning leave your family uh when there’s no one really watching I I did have a coach before and it was great I never missed a be never missed uh a workout because I knew there was somebody watching now who was YouTube and maybe Facebook and Instagram uh to hold myself accountable to these actions different people have different ways I’m going to try this one [Music] well that was only 60k but man it was gorgeous thanks for watching the video you’re interested to come back next week and I plan to do a 100 km cycle from D do to draw along the northeast coast of Ireland uh and then back again obviously it’s not that far uh see you then [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music] [Music]
