Good morning it is just after 8:30 in the a.m. and today we’re heading out on 100 miles AKA 160 km 160k yeah uh car’s really excited because we’re going up the Weaver Hills which is basically the hill that he first went up when he first started riding about didn’t you and you

Hate it repeatedly went up that hill so but I love it for punishment there is cows on the top you can see the thing is it’s not even that bad of a hill I think it’s just it is quite bad scarred in my memory and I just hate it I think it’s

Quite bad over here actually but anyway it’s 20 mph headwind for the first bit of the r that’s going to be really fun let’s go so we are off and not only is it windy it’s also blowing raining so absolutely great start normally you get a lovely view of the Weavers here you

Can only just about see them bling it’s going to be horrible up there alisone aka the base of the Weaver so it’s a 3.5 Malone long climb I think it’s got an average gradient of about 5% but it gets steep at the top and looking at the top

Up there ahead of me it looks like it’s going to be pretty miserable up there so I don’t think we be stayed up there long but oh hello sheepy Yoo tap for the morning to you you start off on a sort of meish looking Road like this not too bad you think oh

It’s a too bad then you realize how bloy long it goes on for just keeps going 3.1k to go and this is where the tough bit starts if you see that keeping on going 1.8k to go okaya just over a Malone Meo are spinning and

There a wind behind me it’s absolutely great it’s just show the head we’ve had yeah the head we’ve had has been absolutely brutal finally we’re at the cafe AKA skinny kitten in bath underne wood is that the garments going off I need to delayer my glasses I’ve just ordered a

Fish finger sandwich Posh fish finger sandwich no changed my mind Posh fing fish finger sandwich and a mocka and I’m going to leave with the cake to be honest when there was like 25 miles to go to the cafe I was thinking why bling am I doing this and then the tail one

Hit me and I was like this is why I’m doing this and then I started picturing the cafe ordered Jack potato they’ve run out so I’m having to go with a chicken schwam flat bird thing it sounds nice anyway it’s basically bit like quore really so spicy bit of me let’s get this

Best before 20th of June 2023 would tast disgusting best before yeah more like should be eaten before they tasted AB yeah well probably knew they were out dating G to me didn’t you first can you describe what that’s made up of chatino and coffee CH as you say onpress mix

Up it’s just a day and it will just go by he’s in his element now he’s got his fish finger baguette he’s in heaven that’s the biggest fish finger SE open it’s basic like a whole fish it’s not a fish finger it’s bling whole cod in there

C e jumbo fish fet jumbo fish fet more touch it minute that’s basically the length of my C me on the other end I’ve got chicken schwarm WRA little bit bit of salad little B bit of Co and yes I will be getting cakes takeway in my back pocket

As well little bit of lemon squeeze it on Lemon got quite a lot of lemon in there I like things um is it bitter or sour sour food in our bellies and we’re feeling good we’ got 30 Malone left to go we both got a bit of cake in our back

Pockets for halfway home emergeny rations bit of nectar when you’re riding in the wind is just don’t worry about what your speed is cuz I always used to be like in the head when oh I’m going so slow but realistically when you’re in a headwind you’re not going to be hitting

Any fast speeds cuz you’re BL pushing so something I wish I knew sooner when I was new to cycling that the wind just makes such an impact on your ride so on a really windy day just don’t worry about your speed just be proud of yourself for getting the Maloney in I

Say but if you got a Tailwind you can whip round so yeah remember it’s not always about Speedy though it’s just getting out and enjoying yourself especially in the blooming winter when it’s freezing W what a change in weather compared to this morning in the bloing

Weavers when it was tipping it down but it’s just been a really nice ride and going up there today just made me think about how far well me and have both come since we started riding cuz the first time I went up there was on my little

Carrera that Kyle bought me when to be honest I was at the lowest point in my life I left my job as a mental health nurse cuz I had a complete breakdown um which I won’t go into now and getting on a bike just gave me a

Purpose again and I’m honestly just so grateful to I found this love for cycling because it came at a time when I really needed it and when Kyle blam needed it too because I don’t know how he put up with me when I was struggling to be honest so yeah it

Just makes me feel so happy and I didn’t use to YouTube then as she G my little rides and then Kyle bought me Blum in second hand GoPro for Christmas last year and here we are never in a million years did I expect people to actually

Watch what we were doing but here we go and now Kyle’s addicted too aren’t you Kyle yeah so Kyle got the bug for cycling about a year after me Kyle yeah so yeah and he’s doing pretty well I’d say give me a good BL spanking up this

Hill but yeah just I think if you struggle with your mental health you’ve just got to keep going and find the thing that gives you the motivation and the thing that brings you Joy back in life again I mean obviously I’m so grateful for my family and friends and everything like that but

Something about being on the bike is just can’t explain it when you’re struggling you just you find that inner strength to keep going and you get home from a ride you just feel that sense of accomplishment that think I was just missing cuz I just felt like a faure

When I left my job felt like I’d let everybody down and let myself down I think that was the main thing I think no one in my family puts pressure on me but I put a lot of pressure on myself so anyway enough of that it’s time for a y y

Woohoo so now I just think Life’s too bloing short to be serious you got to have serious moments in life but you got to just enjoy yourself one day we’re not going to be here no one’s going to remember who we are so don’t worry about

What you look like or I know I’m a bit of a hypocrite cuz I do worry about what I look like but try not to because don’t let you blow in negative mind ruin your life basically and enjoy every day as much as you can anyway I’m going up a

Hill so I’m going have to go basically all I’m trying to say is just enjoy your life as much as you can because it’s too short to be serious and it’s too short not to enjoy yourself is it I mean there’s always going to be hard times and really difficult things that happen

That are out of our control but we can control what we make of life and we can choose to get up in the morning in a bad mood and stay in a bad mood or we can say right I’m not letting you win today

Mind I’m going to go out my bike and and enjoy it and I’ve never come back from a bik ride feeling worse when I was really struggling I used to come back from a bik ride still feeling pretty crappy but most of the time I always come back

Feeling happy so yeah find a thing that works for you all blowing up and going through a puddle pink sky at night Shepherd’s Delight delightful for me as well 11 Malone from home we just stopped for our cakes I’ve got an peir and ginger cakes absolutely lovely car’s

Saving this for later aren’t you I normally have pairing with porridge in the morning well that’s really annoyed me what cuz I love his flat my bottle gave scratched it oh well adds the authenticity of it got it we’re on the home straight and that’s our ride Ding Dang

Done and I’m Ding Dang done more like Ding Dang dad Meo are but we did 100 Malone and I came eighth up the Weaver Hill clim which I absolutely cannot believe we got eth out of I don’t know how many people oh only 8 to4 people
