Hello there everybody. It is Wednesday the 12th of November. I thought it was Saturday, but no, it’s not. It’s Wednesday. And me and Kyle are on our way to London to go to the one and only show that is Ruler Alive that I’m actually going to be speaking at. Kyle just locked his van in the background. Got the bikes ready. We’re ready. Unfortunately, we can only do 20 miles cuz it’s Kyle’s written. Kyle is the knee feeling good. He was last time when I tested it. I’m feeling good. Off the knee. I’m feeling good. Basically, for anyone that doesn’t know, Carl had an MCL injury from coming off on a tram. And we wanted to break the long drive to London up. So, we thought, let’s just do we’re doing 20 miles, 10 miles to a lovely cafe, and 10 miles back again. We’ll see how the he told me not to put shoe covers on. No, I said I said going to take too long, she said. I said it would take too long cuz he’s bought these shoe cups that are so tight. They take 10 hours to put on. I have thought about it. I could put these in the washing machine. The shoes? Yeah. I don’t think I think the roads are dry anyway. Put them in the washing machine. Oh, it’s chilly nipnip. Oh, and also we’re in a place called Ivingho and we’re going to a cafe that we went to last year and I had to get changed in the back of here which was not fun. And my bike’s going on display at Ruler and I’m speaking there which I can’t believe but anyway. Hey my little m Hey K, should I leave my mask on for the display at Ruler? No, I’m going to leave this mask on on Ruler. Ruler is like a bike show basically. It happens every year in London. What are you doing now? Sorry, I’ve got to protect my bike. It’s got covered over any wrap scallion stepping on all my clothes. Yeah, but if a wrap scallion comes along, they might hang on. Oh god. Look, it’s nice and protected now because and then people might look in the van in the front and see my bike and think, well, I’ll have that and smash the windscreen. Don’t want that, do you? We are off. Oh, it’s so nice to get out. Had a really hard interval session on the turbo this morning, so my legs are feeling it a little bit, but we almost didn’t ride. We were like, “Oh, should we just ride to the cafe because we’re going to be in the London rush hour later?” But then we just thought, “No, come on. We’ll feel better for a little spin.” And I’m so glad because the weather has just been so awful recently and it looks like it’s going to rain all day every day for the next 3 days. So, making the most of it while we can. Kyle’s got his new Mercur top. He’s loving it. I can tell you’re still feeling fit somewhat up here. Didn’t interport this morning. Slow down a bit for you, mate. Jeep wit. Oh, we got a little burner to do. It’s a 1.2 m long climb. It goes up 148 m. Average gradient 8% Kyle. Shake that little tushi up there. Is your knee all right? The knee is gut. It’s definitely a a burner. Gee whiz. I can feel the effect of this morning on me legs. tell you that and I’ve definitely got too many layers on. So, oh, I’m burning up like I’m in a frying pan or something. Oh, I’m really glad that we’ve come on this ride. I just needed it to tell you. I’ve not actually ridden outside for at least a week. My ankle’s still a little bit swollen from when I rolled it in Italy doing a trail run, but luckily it doesn’t hurt at all to ride. So, thank goodness because my Achilles is fully better now. So, I’m free to ride again. But I think my motivation over the past few weeks has just been really low. I’ve been going through a bit of a phase where the weather’s gloomy and just feels like everything I do just takes that little bit of extra effort and like even this ride we nearly said no, let’s not bother. But I feel so much better for getting out and I think anyone watching this that’s struggling at the minute. You’re not on your own. Sometimes the hardest thing is getting your bike out and putting your your kit on. But even if you just get to the end of the street and back, it’s better than nothing. And I think if you get your bike out and get on it and start pedaling, you’re definitely going to get further than the end of your street. Or whether it’s a walk or a run, just just get out. And I think for me, what helps is to lay my kit out the night before and just really not give myself a choice. For me, first thing in the morning works best. So just get up, get it on, and go. And don’t give myself that option. But I think just really remind yourself that it does really really help and make you feel better when you can get out and if like me you’ve been injured recently and not been able to ride just hold in there like it’s so it’s it’s doesn’t last forever and you know there’s other things in life than riding your bike. So just make sure you have lots of different things in your life other than just cycling which is something I’ve realized over the past few weeks that I put a lot of emphasis on my enjoyment coming from cycling. And there’s other elements. So, I’ve been spending a lot of time with my family. I’ve been playing the piano. I’ve been doing other things. And yeah, but it feels so good to get back on the bike. And I think, yeah, I just needed this today. I’m not I’m not My mind wasn’t very happy this morning. It’s all stressful at home with the kitchen, but I feel much happier now. So, just proof that getting out really does help. Anyway, I’m in the wrong gear now, so I’m going to have to go. Oh, a bunny off. His knee must be feeling good. Go. Give me a thumbs up if your knee is good. Hey, round the world training is back on, Kyle. Well, it turns out actually this cafe we’ve never been to before. I thought we were going to the same one we went to last time, but turns out that’s somewhere different. I think that might be a farm one or something. But anyway, this one’s called Chilton Veil Cafe. And boy oh boy, it’s for us because look, flags, bikes, bike racks, which we’ve not actually used properly, but oh well. Bike sign. It’s got jerseys inside. So what? I’m actually quite excited about it to be honest. Do you want to sit outside or inside? Inside as long as we can see the bees. I hope they’re not. I hope not. Otherwise, we’ve got nowhere to ride back with. Go look jerseys. It’s nice, isn’t it? What are you thinking? Jersey. Nice, isn’t it? Well, I’m glad we come here then. Somewhere new, isn’t it? Matter on the table. You okay? No, really. Is that you calling me? No, I’m the other one. Oh, right. Okay. Are you Are you being drastic? No, I’m not. Not really. You are the most dramatic person I’ve ever met. Look at that. L smack straight to the side of the table. Anyh who, are you okay? Kyle, I want to think shot in the chest or something. Anyway, we’ve just ordered and I’ll just come and sit down and Hey, up. It’s our mate Ed. Edward. Edward. I’m sponsored by Cams. It’s American Accent Management Service. If you’re hit by a car, um, contact them. They actually sort you out with a new bike and an injury claim, which I got when I was hit by a car. So, I’d rather have not been hit by a car, but you know, they sorted me out. Anyway, you can tell it’s cyst cafe when they do this for you. Chai latte with a bike on it. Bit of me. Kyle’s gone for a sourdough toasty ham and cheese. Ham and cheese and an oat milk cappuccino. A big fan of the oat milk now, aren’t you, Kyle? Chicken cycle kit. Got a massive 9 miles to go. Think we can make it, Kyle? Hello. Right. Well, that’s our riding dangled. My hair’s unleashed from the helmet. It looks like I’ been dragged rubbish backwards, but because they didn’t have anything at the cafe that I could eat because there was nothing without dairy. It was all like either mayo or cheese. And I can’t eat that cuz I’m trying to be really good cuz I found out that it upsets my stomach. A, and B, my spots are better without it. But there’s a lovely little cafe in that church over there. Old church that I’ve been to before. So, I’m going to go and get something to take away. Kyle, you want a cake, don’t you? Yes. What kind of cake do you want? Surprise. Surprise. You’re right. Okay. I’ll be back in the jiffy. Right. I’ve secured the goods. Oh, kid over there’s getting told you’re not having anything from the cafe today. Oh, sorry, mate. Oh, we are. Um, I’ve gone for a hummus and flatbread with some olives. All homemade. Kyle, I’ve got you a heated up sausage roll. Kyle put the bikes and didn’t come up to meet me. And then little bit different. You might think this is a chai or a hot drink. No, no, no. Homemade lemonade. So, get this down me. I need a bit of sugar because we’ve got to now face the London traffic. How long does it say it’s going to take? Like, it’s just not loading. Got no signal. It’s Well, it’s 3:00 now, so we’re going to be hitting the rush hour. But the ride was worth it, wasn’t it? Right. We’re rolling. We’re not on the bike in the van. Kyle, I’ve got you the best sausage roll you’re ever going to eat. Hang on. Because they’re all homemade. Look at this. I can feed it you while you’re driving. Oh, we got a bump coming up. I can feed you that. They said, “Do you want it warm with sauce?” I said, “Yes, please, mate.” That’s my version of heaven. Homemade flatbread with hummus, olives, and pepper and coriander. Bit bougie with the olives. You can tell we’re getting towards London, I tell you. Olives and coriander on a flatbread. Don’t mind if I do. 43 now. 1 hour 43. That’s not too bad. Killed a minute. We’ve killed. Oh, it’s red, though. So, it means it’s going to build red. I mean, we’re going to arrive at 5. I doubt what time we got to be into that thing tonight. Got to be We’ve got a Ruby event tonight. We got to be there at 7:00 p.m. That’s all right. I’m going to get the line bikes tonight. Yeah. Should I do Should I put the intro on the line? Shall I? Yeah. I’ll bring you to the line bikes. It’s an experience. Have you ever been on them once and it was horrible? They accelerate really fast. I really enjoy. They’re heavy. They are heavy. They’re not. Right. Anyway, going to enjoy this and we’ll see you in the London traffic. Right. Well, we’re in the London traffic. It’s going to take us 38 minutes to do 5 miles. So, it could definitely cycle faster than this. But anyway, in the distance car, you can see the shard. We can near the temps. I’m guessing it is. Yeah. Going right to the center. Basically, we had to find a car park where it’s manned for 24 hours. Because we’ve got my pink bike and the other two bikes in the back, three pinellas. Um, we can’t risk it them getting stolen. So, we’re going to the more expensive manned car park, but you know, needs must. Although, you’re going right here, Kyle. Yeah, but you’re just going this lane. Yeah, not that bright. The next one, not going this right. Straight and then right. Yeah, that’s right. Um, my pink bike is actually going to go on show in Ruler. And I’m actually a bit embarrassed cuz it’s a bit dirty. We’ll clean it. We’re going to clean it when we get there. And I’m talking at Rudol live on the stage with Lao Wilcox and Duncan Kovi which I feel a bit embarrassed about actually because it’s 20 mile out here. Don’t worry. Um because I just don’t feel like I deserve to be on the stage with them to be honest. Oh, I just feel like I’m not really I’m nowhere near their level. So I don’t know why I’m on the stage with them and I’m just going to sit there and then feel a bit insignificant. So silly. No, but they’ve been around the world. plus transmitters. Nothing compared to them though. Anyway, our comparison thing, it’s just about You’re not going down there, are you? Oh, yeah, you are. You are. Sorry. Yeah. Oh, jeez. It’s so busy around it. Wo wo wo. So busy. It would actually be quicker to be on a line bike right now, wouldn’t it? We’re definitely going on the line bikes. We’re definitely going on the line bikes eventually. So, I’m a bit scared actually about that. Oh, look at all the rugs. Um, keep going straight. Mine’s saying 4.7 miles to go because mine’s going to the car park. Look how busy it is. I’m still going the wrong way. Bro, my neck. If you needed a takeaway around here, you wouldn’t be Italian, Greek. Same with local Patty Power for the people that like to We’re going to Brick Lane. So, oh, Brick Lane’s where near where I think is Specialty Coffee. Oh, Curry’s down Brick Lane. Oh, I love Curry as well. It’s my favorite place cuz they do really nice curry. Remember that curry wraps? Oh, curry non curryan. Curry curry. Can we get that one day? Get that for lunch. Anyway, right, keep going. I’ve been training her, you know, I’m back on the training regime now, so it means I have to eat a bit more, which is good, but not too much more, but just, you know, enough to make sure I maintain the weight. Not put any on, not lose any, just maintain. Although, sometimes I might put a bit more muscle on. Anyway, that’s uh going off on a tangent, right? I’m going to cut the camera cuz I’ve got to direct Kyle. Right, we’re in London now and it was very stressful getting here. We had to literally run up the street and we just both really quickly had a shower and got ready cuz we’re going to be late for the ruby thing. So, uh, oh, bit of dry stuff off my lip. Lovely. Um, so now we’ve got to head down. I don’t know whether I want to go on the line bike. I might just get the tube cuz I feel a bit stressed about it after seeing all the traffic. And then we’ve got an evening with Ruby and then tomorrow, the next day, the next day, we’ve got Rulo Live. So, yeah, time for a weekend of fun. Well, it’s not actually weekend. It’s actually a Wednesday, a wed day as I used to say at primary school. Anyway, we’re going to go down now. If we do go on the line bikes, then I will take the cam, but I’m not sure if we will because I’m a bit scared of them. Right, we’ve located some line bikes and we’re going to go for it. And I’m a bit scared. Should I do this one? You have to scan it with your phone. It’s £1 to start and then 29 p a mile. So, it’s not too bad. This bad boy. How you How do you do the seat? Can you not put the seat up a bit? No, I can do that. How do I do that? Oh god. Put it up a bit. Oh, crown a line. Oh, yeah. That’s there. Right then. How do we go then? Whoa. What you mean just pedal? I can’t do it, Kyle. Oh, Christ. Sorry, mate. Which way? Oh, I’m going the wrong way. Whoa. Kyle, I can’t do this. Wait, there’s cars coming. Whoa, Kyle. This is not my idea of fun. Are we going then? We’re going. Kyle, how’d you break? Oh, Christ. No, I’m not ready. No, no, there’s a car coming. Kyle, I can’t do this. You mean just pedal? I’m trying to pedal. I’m on the wrong side of the prison. I can’t I can’t do it, Kyle. No, I’m not. I don’t want to do this. Jeez. Okay. Oh my Christ. Kyle, this is horrible. Oh, actually, it’s quite nice, actually. Oh jeez. It’s electric car. It’s electric. Woohoo. It’s got a bell. You can ring my bell, mate. Oh my Christ. Whoa. God. It’s a bit scary. Oh no. Get run over. Oh jeez. Where’s Oh, it’s lovely smell of weed. Well, go hear my brakes. Well, that’s my brakes. Oh, lord. Car’s just zooming off. Where we going? What are you doing? Wrong way. Oh, lord. Oh, Kyle, wait for me. It z it zooms when you start pedaling. Whoa. Jeez. Wa. Oh. Oh. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. Wait. There. Jeez. Oh god. It’s not my idea of fun. Right. Well, that was a blooming experience. We parked the bikes over there, but it was a right ripoff. It was £1150 each. Spent £22 to go on there. It should have been cheaper on the pluming tube card. A lot less stressful. Should we go back on the tube? cuz I’m not paying that again. Quick char99 for half an hour. That’s why we do that there. You have to remember. We didn’t know that though. But it’s a joke. That is I’m not doing that again. Oh, there’s a lovely distinct smell of weed down the street. Um we’ve just been to the ruler event. Not ruler, Ruby. Sorry. Rulers tomorrow. And it was really good. We had to race each other. Kyle beat me by miles up a hill. I would have eased off if I knew. I thought you was beating me. That’s why you thought I was beating him. So, I went full gas and got up. To be honest, I just gave up cuz I was like, I’m so hungry. It’s What time is it? It’s 9:36 in the P.M., and I’ve not eaten since that pter thing I had in the car. And I’m just absolutely starving. So, we’re now heading back to Brick Lane, which is near where we’re staying. Water, please. I can’t slow down. I know you went easy. I’m so hungry. So, we’re going to go to Brick Lane and find ourselves like a nice curry wrap or some sort of spicy curry thing. Yeah. Another positive I took from tonight. Yeah. I had a little bit of an effort on the Ruby bike. My knee still feels really good. Well done for that. And we are taking the tube back because it’s cheaper than the line bikes and more safe. Although more chance of getting a cold, but I’ll just put my coat over my mouth like that. To be honest, I’ll be surprised if we don’t get some sort of illness after this social 3 days. But oh well, I’ve got some echania. Get the London 3. Where are we going? Are we going the right way? Right. Well, we’re on Brick Lane and we’ve got some goods. It was a lovely Lebanese place we went to. We’re speaking to the man there for ages. He’s from Egypt and they’ve made us a nice chicken wrap with salad for me. He lives in Preston and a nice lamb wrap with salad and sauce for Kyle. And then little salad extra for me and some chips for Kyle. So, that’s going to see us through the night. We need it. We do. I’m very hungry. Very hungry. I was salivating as he was making. I was about to eat my own arm to be honest with you. I was going to build that. It’s lovely to you, mate. But I am Come on, mate. It took about half an hour to make you making it in front of you which is nice. It is nice. Whip lane. Although that’s not very nice, is it? To be honest, I am I am missing home to be honest with you. The man he was in for his brother, he Yeah, he was. I’m missing home cuz I I don’t really like the busy life, but I can cope with it for a few days. Oh, what a day. We are in bed with the chicken wrap. Car’s got chips. Life doesn’t get better than this. D, my friend, is a top quality wrap. Now, normally I don’t like eating just before bed. It’s actually really stressful for me. I’ve just been stressing about it, haven’t I? Mhm. But it’s okay for a oneoff, and it’s better to eat something than be going to bed absolutely starving. And I’ve done a lot today. So, I’m getting this down and then we’re going to slip into slumber and tomorrow, the next day, and the next day at Rudo live. So, we’re not going to bring you along every day cuz that’ll be a bit too much. But we’ll definitely bring you for a little insight. Tomorrow though, we are going to Lee Valley Ali Veladrome to see the one and only John from Santini. Can’t wait to see John cuz I’m doing a talk there. So, we’ll bring the camera just to say hi to him cuz if you’ve seen him, we know he’s blooming hilarious. So, and the lovely mom. We love him. Anyway, so thanks so much for watching. TZ to the FN. Tata for now. Goodbye. Goodbye. Ciao.
