Nothing better than waking up in the morning here in sunny Florida and watching a new video from you before I have to go to work. You truly are cycling in paradise Thomas!
Yeah that would be great. May I suggest for you the Hotter n Hell 100 ride in Wichita Falls Texas. It’s always the end of August. I think it’s a 50 year old ride. Easily over 10,000 riders, mostly flat, best SAG stations I’ve experienced, lots of fun, and close enough to where I can drive the 6 hours from Louisiana and attend. Anyways, have fun and stay safe. 🎉
Greetings from Pineville Louisiana! Love the videos. Long time viewer but I’m a little behind and need to catch up on some of the more recent vids. Glad to see your run of luck has improved, and good on ya for the no-stop long ride. Hope to get one in myself here, sooner than later. Work has been a killer. ✌️
Awesome video as always. Just got back from Portugal after not getting back there for 6 years. Missed it loads and won’t be so long before I return for sure! As a fellow SuperSix Evo owner, what is your spec? (Looks like you’ve made a fair few changes like me)
Disagree. I do recommend this and you should try this at home. This is the BEST way to get fit mate. Stopping kills the gains, especially on a longer ride. Ps. That terrain is ❤️
Nice footage & content. What camera and mount are you using? Your voice audio is also great, are you using any trick to tackle wind noise? Keep it up bro!
@@TheCyclingTattooist Thomas, I usually love your videos but lately I feel like your content is diverging to some extreme challenges that may not make much sense, like trying to ride 300K a week after struggling the first time, just to get content. This when you know your not top shape rn. I know the RUclips game is tough and so I am very happy that you are the Cycling Tatooist and do not have to rely exclusively on making internet content no matter what. Also I have very happy for your new project. This being said I was not and am not worried about your health and my comment wasn’t directed at you, I know, from being a subscriber for years, that you know you limits and when to push your body to pain, what are the consequences, etc. My comment had the intention to reiterate, to all those on your big audience, that may not be that experienced, that one must really not try this light-hearted. Consequences go from simple dehydration to very serious and life threatening rhabdomyolysis. Hope you keep finding inspiration to make some banger videos out there. Cheers!
Next challenge: 120k ride fuelled only by pastel de natas and coffee. This time, it's your duty to stop at every bloody cafe en route! No excuses. #ProppaGainz
I think the longest I’ve gone is 45 miles no stopping. I wanna try for a 60 miler next. Just as long as I’m eating and drinking on my ride. I think I’ll be ok
Don’t want to sound a like a know it all… because I’m not! BUT… you shouldn’t be getting a sore butt and arms after only 3 hours… I’d say there’s something wrong with your bike fit… if you haven’t had one I’d definitely recommend you get that looked at. Will be a game changer… 😁👍
Just noticed you’re using a Wahoo instead of your Garmin - What’s the reason for the change? I’ve been using a Wahoo for years now but always feel like to odd one out for doing so 😂
@@TheCyclingTattooist In a strange way, I've noticed you get a lot of people on RUclips trying to get you to go keto and stop eating carbs, etc. I get that on my channel too. It's weird how people want to judge what you eat. It usually ends with "do your research" or "it's the human diet" and all that BS, both mean nothing except it implies that they did some type of research (they watched another RUclipsr and lost some weight quitting McDonald's) or implying that you're not human because you don't eat their diet. I don't think any of these trolls have ever ridden a bike as far as you, so just keep doing what you're doing.
God Portugal just looks so peaceful to ride, almost as if there's no cars on the road
It’s pretty special here… 😍
I was thinking the exact same thing👍🏻
"Don't wanna risk those high speed descents, gotta get back to my favourite girl Daisy !"
Cover your ears Rach 💔
In my defence… Rach was away at the time I shot this, so I literally only had Daisy to get home to… 🤣
Nothing better than waking up in the morning here in sunny Florida and watching a new video from you before I have to go to work. You truly are cycling in paradise Thomas!
Glad to see you doing well and all the best for the new venture 👍
Thanks a lot 😁🙏
whats so fun about this is we are actually seeing you improve
🤞🤞🤞
Hope you guys do a USA cycling meet up someday :D. Although Europe would be really cool to ride
I’ll be back sometime for sure… love it there!

@@truesouth100 only problem with hotter n hell is it’s about the least scenic ride out there 😂. Is fun though!
Your boi is gonna have a headache without enough water😂.
Yep… not recommended! 🤣🙈
Was thinking the same during the whole video, I would have finished both those bottles in the first hour 😅
@@19diego82cinttocscouldn’t agree more. 🤦♂️
Love that downhill footage!
More to come… 🤪

Montejunto Classic ride❤
Your pronunciation of ‘Socorro’is perfect
for a 🥩 😊
For a steak..? Thanks..? I think… 🤣
@@TheCyclingTattooist beef or bife . It’s what we Brits are called here in Tugalandia
Oh never heard that… learn something new everyday! Thanks 😁
i saw the title change..sneaky!!! btw huge fan...since 10k . ``cycling 5 hours with no stopping`` i like the current title better
Sometimes it has to be done… 🤪🤘
Another video sun and no cars - cycling heaven.
Always enjoy the scenery shots,
🙏🙏🙏
I just finished a 126k ride without stopping! Just a 30sec pee stop though! You just need to stay on top of your nutrition and hydration.
Great effort! 😁🙌
@@TheCyclingTattooist Thanks man. Training for the Peaks Challenge in Australia. Maybe you can join? 😁
Awesome video as always. Just got back from Portugal after not getting back there for 6 years. Missed it loads and won’t be so long before I return for sure! As a fellow SuperSix Evo owner, what is your spec? (Looks like you’ve made a fair few changes like me)
Another lovely video making me jealous of living in cold Denmark 🇩🇰😂
Disagree. I do recommend this and you should try this at home. This is the BEST way to get fit mate. Stopping kills the gains, especially on a longer ride. Ps. That terrain is ❤️
Yeah that’s true… but I enjoy coffee and cake more than being fit! 🤣
What an absolute Sunday treat to have the cycling mayor of Sydney comment on your videos.
Nice footage & content. What camera and mount are you using?
Your voice audio is also great, are you using any trick to tackle wind noise?
Keep it up bro!
Thank you! Just a go pro on a mouth mount… audio is straight out the camera, with a wind buff and then cleaned up in post… 😁👍
One big flaw with your plan. You really should be drinking a bottle an hour to hydrate properly. Carb’s aren’t the only think you need to think about.
Yes of course… I wouldn’t usually do this, hence why I said that I don’t recommend it. 👍
100% agree, especially with the very warm temperatures lately 🥵 Not a good strategy.. Recipe for disaster.
Again… hence why I said “don’t try this at home”
No need to worry about me… you worry about your own hydration strategies 🤣👍

If you think this was “extreme” please go back and watch some of the really stupid sh** I’ve done in the past… 🤣
Congratulations on having the will power NOT to stop at a cafe! In Portugal...of ALL places! 😂😂
It won’t happen again… 🤣
STYRKR caffeine drink powders are the bomb. Bailed me out a few times near the end of rides to get me home.
Mate the videos are looking crispier than ever! Are you using a GoPro Max set to 360 mode in this one?
Ah what are the chances! Yh yh mate, probably saw a pasteis de nata 😂
Hahaha! Wish I did… a crime was committed that day!
Do you have a pro bike fit? If not that would be a cool video.
Next challenge:
120k ride fuelled only by pastel de natas and coffee.

#ProppaGainz
Hold my beer…
isn´t it like warm and you need to fill up water to not dehydrate? :D
Yes… another reason why this was a stupid idea and I don’t recommend it! 🤣
Gloves Thomas!
What about them..?
Hope you’re going to drink more than just those 2 bottles, in that heat, with that distance/speed, I reckon it’s a 6 bottles ride!!
I would usually drink about 4… 👍
Great video mate as always, was wondering what’s the brand of your aero cockpit? Trying to get myself one !
They’re just prime primavera bars… but you can’t buy them anymore unfortunately!
You’ve cost me a fortune in MAAP clothing 😂
Sorry not sorry! 🤣👍
Could you share what brand stem you use please? Thanks
Carbs for energy , but what about electrolytes for the salts you are sweating out ? Does the powder include electrolytes too? Great video as usual ?
Yes I use electrolytes too! 🙌
I’m coming to Lisboa in august can you organise a big GROUP ride with subscribers near Sintra?? 💪🏻
I just might… 😁
love your vids... but, wtf have you done to your RT ,formarm Tats. As, haven't been on it for a while. Well done on the ride.🙂
My right arm has literally been blacked out for at least 5 years…
The gel50’s don’t half pack a punch.
Mate… rocket fuel! 🤪🤘
I never neglect my stops. It's way easier than trying to boil a cup of water for tea while riding.
🤣🤣🤣 love that!
I think the longest I’ve gone is 45 miles no stopping. I wanna try for a 60 miler next. Just as long as I’m eating and drinking on my ride. I think I’ll be ok
Yes mate that’s it… keep on top of the fuel and hydration and you’ll smash it! 😁💪
@@TheCyclingTattooistthank you i appreciate the encouragement!!! 🙌🏾🙌🏾
which glasses do u have?
Well done! I get too uncomfortable after say 3 hours of riding. Sore butt and arms.
Don’t want to sound a like a know it all… because I’m not! BUT… you shouldn’t be getting a sore butt and arms after only 3 hours… I’d say there’s something wrong with your bike fit… if you haven’t had one I’d definitely recommend you get that looked at. Will be a game changer… 😁👍

Dude what camera do you use? ,thanks 🙏🏻
Go pro for this…

Go Keto ,low carb ,you won’t belive the gains.👊
I’d rather kill myself!
Hey Bro. Give me the track please. Almost your neighbor!
Nah it would be safer at home on zwift 😂
5 hours on Zwift… that’s psychotic!
@@TheCyclingTattooist I've done it once and I wouldn't recommend it 😂

Just noticed you’re using a Wahoo instead of your Garmin - What’s the reason for the change?
I’ve been using a Wahoo for years now but always feel like to odd one out for doing so 😂
Because Garmin are absolute sh** but to be honest the wahoo isn’t much better. 🙈
@@TheCyclingTattooist lezyne, basic, works, long battery.. mountain bike brand, built to last!
How are you recording the video?
Go pro…
Carbs are not required by humans teach your body to switch into fat burning ride fasted .
No thanks… carbs are king!
