Hi Tommy, just found your channel and loving your cycling content. I’m an older guy of 64 who is just getting back to cycling after a long break. Sadly lost my dear wife about 3 years ago and getting back into cycling has done wonders for my fitness and mental health. Keep up the good work mate.
@@TheKev2grey first of all Kev, welcome to the channel and thank you for the kind words. Secondly i am sorry to hear of your loss. Im glad you have got back into something that you enjoy and that helps both your physical and mental health. Keep up the good work and get the miles and smiles in! Just editing todays video so watch this space for my next episode! 👍🏻🚴🏼♂️❤️💪🏻
Hi Tommy and Jake, I did a similar route on Monday, I usually stop at Hemington on the green on the bend ,love riding round those villages, The Jersey looks good. Look forward to seeing your lights.
@@kimwardiell8929 its a nice green to stop at that with the phone box. Thank you for the kind comments. Ill record the lights once i get everything fitted 👍🏻
That jersey looks great Tommy, as do the bibs. I keep telling my wife that we have to return to that area again. We were down there for a brief trip in our campervan this summer. 'What summer' I hear you say. Really enjoyed exoloring some of the roads that you showed us in your videos. Winter is nearly here however, so sunnier climes are destined for us, but we have, heavly, penciled in another trip to your area. Hopefully spending a little longer there.. Wil llet you know when we are returning, and maybe get the chance to join you on a ride. 🤞 p.s. I thought that you were changing those shades.🤔
Thanks for the kind words Peter, and thank you for keep coming back to my channel! For sure we can get some rides in when you are next this way that would be good. Where will you visit for sunnier climbs? France? Italy? Spain? The kit as always is fantastic, its Assos so you know its going to be good. I think i might have to ask Santa for some new shades, im thinking either Oakley or Sungod’s this time! Who knows, maybe they see this video and sponsors me 😜
@itsTJM We are off to Mallorca again in a couple of weeks, then Lanzarote in late November. Our eldest son called today, and half suggested a 'lad & dad' trip to a warm climate on the gravel bikes, to prep him for a spirited start to next year. If he twists my arm hard enough, then I could join him, 'kicking and screaming'.☺️😂
Ohh the retired life hey! Sounds fantastic, i hope you enjoy all the sunshine and cycling abroad! Think of us lot in the cold and wet throughout please haha!
Welcome to the channel Stephen! I suppose wearing the jersey i had on you couldn't miss me, next time shout TOMMY you plonker and ill know who it is! Yes tough conditions into the wind yesterday, but blooming lovely when it was behind you!
@@itsTJM will do.. just hope the person I’m calling a plonker is actually you!!! 😂😂 The jersey was a give away! I had the white trek Madone going in the opposite direction to meet up with Yaxley Riders
Hahaha, I hope it was a good ride? Are you a YR admin? I rode with YR when it was first started years ago, rode the first chaser event in the fast group, havnt done a ride for a while with them, but i was 70kg, fitter and a lot faster back then!
