Cycling 120K during a heatwave – You know me always planning something but I under planned this one. Heatwave has shocked the UK this week, and me.

That breeze has tricked us into thinking it’s not that hot. Another banger Ben – let’s roll ! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Keep moving 👊
Dude! You need bigger bidons.
You need to trademark the Le Chappers swaggy head weave. You know Ben is coming!
Phew. Nice going Ben. Thanks for sharing the ride, warts and all.
Also, another content creator has a catch phrase, I Fail Often, which is used as a symbol of positivity. If you don’t fail, you never tried right? So failure is a badge of honor.
@3:27 British Gas worker driving van reg “VE71 PUV” needs to get fired for dangerous driving. Asking British Gas to sack that employee isn’t harsh. He could have killed someone. Getting them off the road is more important.
The seat was warning you to go back!
That totally AI thumbnail was some kind of weird double York Minster mashup, lol. Still, in the vale of York, at least you didn't have to sweat up many hills 🙂 looked hot tho.
FairPlay for the upload mate, not always easy to show when we hit a wall. Still a solid ride in that weather mate, I did 58k on Monday and felt like I was going to die 😂
Bigger bottles and take the vest off, too hot with it on. Bonking is horrible.
All very true. But I hate full pockets and love carrying a spare charger.
Ever thought of a top tube bag? I bought one a few months ago for my long rides. I use the Craft Cadence Seat Pack for my tools/electric pump, etc and the top tube bag for bars, gels and other stuff and its useful for any items of clothing you might take off, like buffs, warmers etc, place them in there rather than you jersey pockets. Definitely recommend it for long rides 👍Great video aswell, the good and the bad
Mate be careful this weather is a killer. Subbed for your bravery!.. 👍
A tail wind in the heat isn’t the blessing you think it is. And the road beats harder than the sun.
Garmin has a Heat Acclimation feature – I finally figured out what it is trying to tell me and it is helpful. I live in the US and it has been over 35C on and off for over a month. It takes a long time to get heat adjusted and your body reacts in unexpected ways. But great that you shared your experience!
