Fellow cyclist from Alabama, USA here. I really enjoyed your video. I liked the way you edited with all the graphics. Most of your roads are very similar to the rural area I live in. I’ll be looking at more of your videos.
Two words “blooming awesome”, that was a great video and watch Andy. 500 days of winter, not far wrong with that 😀, the 12+% gradients make the 5-6% ones feel like flat roads on climbs, and the weighty winter bike making the carbon summer bike feel alive and as light as feather, can’t wait to jump back off my winter weight to the summer feather. Made me smile all the way through watching that, nice one Andy 😊👍👍
I'm aiming for the CTC in June, all in a day, been doing just like you, big days in the saddle, learning about when and how to eat, drink has been important and taught me a lot. Well done on an epic effort.
So decided to give this route a go! Pinched it from your Strava (Sorry). A sniff shorter at 146miles (Clanfield start)... Really enjoyed it. All the climbing early on then down to Ditchling... Well haven't ridden up there for about 30 years (or when the TDF rode over it all those years ago). Only part I didn't enjoy was Brighton city centre roads... people everywhere and also crap pot holed roads!!!. Thanks for the route and advice on it... Enjoy your work.
Nice! yeah Brighton is a pain but cool if you did plan to stop or anything. Bit slow home from there too but at least its flat, glad you enjoyed bud :)
Well done and nice route. Did a very simlar route up to London last saturday (16th) from Clanfield and back... 205km leith and box included... Was also my 1st long distance ride of the year. Good luck for the longer summer riders.
That was great Andy! Great ride! Inspirational, in that watching it makes me want to go out for a ride. I liked the data with the 3 climbs, and I liked how you reeled in that guy on Box Hill...!
Thanks for watching again mate, I'm kinda glad you noticed that, he was sat on my wheel, blew past, then blew up haha I was just holding my pace really but yeah I noticed it too
congratulations on your achievement - awesome efforts. you've got me fired up now .... APN24 starts in 2 mths - had quite a few of 100 milers this year so far but time to push the envelope me thinks. thanks for sharing,
My CTS 205 miler closing in !.....progressing onto some serious training in the next couple of months finishing up with a 100 and a 175[+] miler at the end of May beginning of June.
What a ride! Well done. For an average cyclist like myself, the speed you maintained really doesn’t get across how much effort and fitness is needed. Average speed isn’t just about what your legs put out - the number of turns, slow downs, head wind, traffic, climbs, blah blah blah. I did enjoy your box hill climb - i could see you pacing the cyclist that overtook you, until you returned the favour :) :) :) Nice to see your subscriber count gradually climbing. Love the videos, keep ‘em coming.
Hey, yeah it is growing well, I'm really enjoying it :) yeah I'm kinda glad you noticed that, he was sat on my wheel, blew past, then blew up haha I was just holding my pace really but yeah I noticed it too
Well done Andy lots of miles lots of hills thats a strong ride 💪!!. good seeing down southsea shame you missed the racing up portsdown hill it was fast 🚴
That was a great ride again Andy what a route ! , to see u travel all the wayfrom the coast and do leith hill boxhill plus then back not bad at all 😅 I cycle those hills together sometimes and its a definite workout . I got a nice circular offroad bikepack route I do when my fitness is better doing epsom downs , Headley, box Hill, ranmore common leith hill and Hurtwood , 70km around 6hrs , takes me days to recover 😅 great area for cycling. Ps 16kg ! I will stop complaining that my whyte 909 hardtail weighs 14kg without kit 😅 Think I need to increase my weekend long rides now the weather is improving cheers
Nice work. Great ride. Videos getting better with each one, it's obvious you're enjoying making them. Would love to see your filming setup - I have an insta360 x3 (bar mounted) which ive filmed a few rides with just for my own memory, perhaps one day they'll see the light of day! But seems like you handhold the whole way? One other polite suggestion is to consider disabling mid-way ads, they're so annoying it's possible more people won't stick around, and you may get less views (not from experience, just what I've heard). Cant wait to see your first event!
Hey, thanks I really enjoy making them, it takes ages but really satisfying. I just use a DJI osmo 4 with a grille mount. I haven't paid much attention to the ads actually, RUclips just decides where to put them in unless I change them. To be honest these pay a very small amount anyway I'm not in it for ad revenue, its very small amounts anyway
hey thanks :) I just struggle to justify it when I'm already out so many hours, plus in the races I'm training for cake stops sadly won't be ion the equation either :(
Awesome ride. Only three miles short of the 150 in 10 hrs was amazing. I can see you carry a lightweight (waterproof?) jacket but do you wear any rain specific kit on your lower half to combat the rain and cold? I think I'd get hypothermia after just a couple of hours in soaking wet kit so how do you cope?
Thanks mate was a great day out :) I just find I need to keep my core warm so a gilet or wind breaker is ok this time of year. Plus keeping the pace up a bit helps, if I ease off or stop then I’ll start to feel it 🥶
I travelled coast to coast from Whitehaven to Redcar over the Pennines 125 miles solo, for charity in 6 hours 38 minutes, including 2 sandwich stops. So 150 miles in 10 hours should be easy. In TT races I have done 100 miles, solo, in less than 4 hours.

Thanks for watching Bill mate 😁👍

Glad you enjoyed it, you're right across the board there, I can't wait to ride carbon again soon

thanks :) good luck with the event, fuelling correctly is huge
Great work, 30 min stop is unbelievable, well done
It surprised me a bit but yeah, that stung a bit!

Nice! yeah Brighton is a pain but cool if you did plan to stop or anything. Bit slow home from there too but at least its flat, glad you enjoyed bud :)
That was good. Endurance riding is something I'm keen to explore.
Nice, give it a go mate, its a great day out

same to you mate, its a great route eh? riding to London is surprisingly pretty decent I find
Looked absolutely filthy. Great work. Have signed up to a 100 mile ride around London starting at 10 pm tomorrow. Should be ... interesting.
ooh, let me know how that goes, in London city?
That was great Andy! Great ride! Inspirational, in that watching it makes me want to go out for a ride. I liked the data with the 3 climbs, and I liked how you reeled in that guy on Box Hill...!

thanks for sharing,
Ity is getting close eh, I shall see you there then at a different gear
Excellent effort Andy!
Thankyou mate :)

you'll smash that bud, summer is coming!
@@andycultracycling Thanks 😉
Amazing, very motivational.
Thanks I'm glad :)
Great effort!

Amazing Andy! Love these videos!

Wow, I am chin-strapped just watching your effort… bloody amazing, well done you
Thankyou bud, it was a good day out :)
Incredible mate. I look forward to your videos, keep them coming!
Thankyou bud I'm glad, I really enjoy making these
Only thing I can say is. You’re a beast. That is one hell of an epic ride.
Thanks mate it took a few days to get over that one

@@andycultracycling I enjoyed that part too. It was satisfying to see you pass him. To be honest, that would probably have been me ☺️
Wowza that's a ride and a half, but it does show what can be done. Have you done a bike check video?
Thanks :) I haven't actually, in a couple weeks I'll be getting it summer ready so I expect will do one then
Well done Andy lots of miles lots of hills thats a strong ride 💪!!. good seeing down southsea shame you missed the racing up portsdown hill it was fast 🚴
Was good to meet you mate, yeah I really misjudged that one 🤣😬

Glad you enjoyed it :) thank for watching, it was a great ride
Nice one Andy! I've set myself a silly time limit for Santander to Roscoff next month. 62 hours. 1000km Dont think i'll be sleeping much 😂
I don’t think you will be mate, but does sound a lot of fun
@andycultracycling it will be an adventure nonetheless. Got a flexi ticket for ferry, so no worries
Enjoy I am jealous
@andycultracycling Hey ya! Just back from my 1060km, Santander to Roscoff. Thought I'll update you. 557km day 1, 213km day 2, 290 km day 3. Made it! 🙂
@@michaelfreeman5933 nice one mate! How was it, tough going?
FairPlay that was an awesome ride
Thankyou mate :)
awesome ride Andy
Thanks :)

That’s a quick time!
How do you resist the temptation to stop for coffee and 🍰
hey thanks :) I just struggle to justify it when I'm already out so many hours, plus in the races I'm training for cake stops sadly won't be ion the equation either :(
Well done Andy great ride.! No aero bars ? Will you use any in the up coming races to help with the head winds and hand comfort ? 😀
Cheers :) I will fit some yeah, I’m a couple weeks ill get the bike summer ready then will put them back on

Awesome video Andy, really enjoyed it. What sort of and how much food do you consume during the day?
Sub’d. 👍🏻
Hey, thanks for watching, in the first minute to so you can see all of the nutrition for that ride, probably not as much as I needed but hey ho
@@andycultracycling ahh I got it thanks Andy. 😎👍🏻
