today I naively ignore the dross weather forecast and get out to the hills on my bike to claw back some much needed fitness ahead of the upcoming cycling season

i have been the last 3 weeks training in the roller, (Ireland) and today i decided to go outdoor with all the bad weather, 5 hours raining , full soaked and in the way back, strong wind in the front , was a bad idea but what can we do?, im tired of training in the roller all the winter.
The weather maketh the man. It looks like you've finally hit puberty. Good for you lil man.
Your music is so cool, especially the jungle is so niceeee! Do you have a playlist or something? Greetings from Germany 🙂
Get yourself a mountain bike for the shite weather, makes the sloppy shite conditions more fun, also slows you down a bit and you have more grip so it's safer too. Hit some sloppy gravel on a XC or hardtail for the shite wet winter days.
Unfortunately most of the time in the uk is winter
Swedish music is banging
Winter UK is shit
If it's not raining, it's not training!
Haha and when here in winter it’s 5 or 10 degrees Celsius, sometimes I don’t go out because I really think it’s cold.
I ain’t about the rain these days. Especially how expensive everything is these days even so cold budget gear. Plus the roads are utter shit and not just figuratively they are quite literally covered in shit off the fields. Structured interval training belongs on the trainer in the winter. I treat out door ride as free rides and ride how I’m feeling. To many car’s, traffic lights to really do anything meaningful for long enough. Good you got out though. Weather looks to be breaking this week in the south east.
Keeping the content coming even in the freezing 🥶 cold… I respect the grind Sir 🫡 👊
Dan needs to move to LA
watching from canada where I havent ridden outside since november 😢
Come to Denmark🥶this look like fall🍂
Not sure why but in the 2 bike clubs i ride with the poor weather this year seems to have really taken its toll. Got a lot people who have not ridden in 2026 yet as they don't do indoors (for whatever reason) but would normally do 7500-10,000km a year.
Me – I am the complete opposite as i have embarced the trainer, and also been cross training (run & weights) i am over 2000km / 85hrs already.
Its been particularly brutal this year mate, ive ridden my gravel bike all winter constantly cleaning covered in dirt grit mud floods haha but as long as your enjoying it who gives a fluff 😎💪🏼
What is there to do when ur brakes sound like his ?
I'm watching this on my 4-5 hour indoor ride. It makes me feel much better 😂 At this point I'd rather ride indoors than in this crappy weather. But on Wednesday it's supposed to be 20 degrees and sunny where I live. I cant believe it
Dan I enjoy your videos but if I had a pound for every time you moaned about cycling I’d be in Calpe right now
Same weather here in Northern France, I did train outside a little bit but I prefer suffering on my Zwift ride. Next week is better apparently (I saw it's gonna be up to 18 degrees celsius, that's crazy)
