Here we go... time to push myself and see what I am made of! It's been a long time since I done any sort of long distance ride, so I decide to tackle a 200km round trip to go see the world's biggest waves at Nazare. I am completely out of shape at the moment, according to strava I am the most unfit I have ever been. I am out to prove a point that powered by sheer determination alone you can conquer anything you want to achieve. So let's get out there and make it happen.

Sunday Morning, Coffee, The Cycling Tattooist - Perfect……
🥰🙏
Cant imagine a better host. Great ride. Cycling is about having fun, if that’s not there anymore what is there? The fact that you enjoyed it, even at lower levels of fitness says it all. You dont have to kill yourself every time you go out. I’ve seen people completely burn themselves out in order to stay ‘competitive’.
Well… if you’re interested chuck me a message on Instagram or you can find my email in the description of this video… going to get info out to people asap! 😁👍
Cycling is not about the data.. Cycling is about being outside, enjoying the sun, the wind, the birds, the views, not being in a hurry, and the feeling of freedom. I enjoy cycling more now than when I was racing.
No word of a lie, I was thinking as you went down to see the waves it would be cool if you did some tours with fans. And followed up with some fresh ink in the studio to mark the trip.
Wicked idea. Would be awesome to see the tours on the channel with others having a laugh and enjoying the area.
Great work Thomas
Great idea about the training Camp, good to see you back on the bike on your long rides again 👍🏼
Keep up the good work ❤
Defo up for your new adventure next year as I am fully booked this year.
Your cycling holiday camp I think it’s an amazing idea. Sure it will be a hits d can’t wait to see it on here
First came across your videos whilst injured from cycling, you inspired me to get back at it. Great content as always Thomas 👌🏼
Well done 🎉
Amazing ride, wow Thomas! And can we get a ‘hell yeah’ for that new MAAP purple jersey ❤ I love riding, hate it when it’s windy
Even out of shape thats impressive. Great video as normal
🙏🙏🙏
Looked one hell of a route some beautiful places you went past.
More great contents… the gift that keeps on giving.
Awesome! I seem to always let my bike fitness fall off a cliff every summer. Trying this year to keep it steadily going up. Love the content! The more exploration of Portugal the better. Even a trip to a restaurant for dinner would be entertaining!!!
One of my favourite videos of yours, really enjoyed this one!
🥰🙏
Had the same idea 30 years ago as family village is 5mins from Obidos, but life got in the way!! Great idea some amazing rides all around that area and no shortage of coffe stops!.
Just getting back on bike after along time so who knows may see you on the road.( Mantar as rodas a girar)
Good to see you finding your form again 😊
😁🙏
Great vid! It motivates me to get my cycling fitness back and riding more:) Also that scenery in Portugal was stunning!
😁🙌🙌🙌
paradise place to live and bike around. glad to hear you enjoying cycling again.. keep it up! :)
Thanks, will do! 😁🙌
Very cool...I love exploring new roads and sites as well ..rock on man!
It’s the best!
Yes Nazaré Bro ! Just watched 100ft wave on HBO.
Nice one mate 👊
Great ride, hmmm is the epic ride coming up the N2, hope so
Well done, that is some ride 👏 love the channel 👍
Thank you! 🙏
Could play spot the difference against my fitness curve on Strava and we’d both be scratching our heads! I too, don’t completely trust that graph but I think it is generally quite indicative of your current ability.
Since the arrival of my baby and a spate of long term illness, my Strava fitness chart plummeted very similar to yours, it’s a very hard and demanding metric to get back up, shouldn’t be ignored but not something to set objectives to.
Great video Thomas!
Another great episode. Shame about the waves but certainly not a wasted trip.
A day out on the bike is never a wasted trip… 😁🙌
Excellent idea! Please share when you start with the offers.🎉
Awesome… please chuck me an Instagram message or you can find my email in the description of this video. We’ll be getting info out asap! 😁👍
Well done gez
Great to see you back out of the steed. I’d gotten used to the lifestyle vids, both great aspects!
Good to be back out! 🤪🤘
I'd be very interested on that Training Camp, but not in September, sadly! Looking foward to the next one Thomas. Keep riding!
Get in touch with me on Instagram or find my email in the description of this video… then once we get more info out you’ll be on the list to contact! 😁👍
What a fantastic idea, I always bottled out of the faast crew rides but the idea of riding in Portugal sounds amazing but not sure I’d be able to keep up with you!!! Keep the videos coming, that ride looked pretty epic and hopefully now you are settling in your new place the rides and experiences will only get better.
Get in touch with me on Instagram and send me your email address… or find mine in the description of this video. We’ll be sending out more info very soon… 😁🙌
Should have catch you on this ride. It's nice to see familiar roads on your videos. Hope you enjoyed our wind, always north always strong
Was a great ride! 🙌
Another great video as always Thomas!! 🚴🏼 shame about the waves cause they get insane there on a good day 🔥
I know I’ve seen a lot of videos and been wanting to go for a long time… but I guess I’ll just have to try again! Good excuse to go back again soon! 😁👍

Great crew, amazing country, places to explore and phenomenal atmosphere what is there not to like? When is it happening???

As always, great vid. Lovely scenery again as well. Just wondering…you must have quite a spacious clothing cabinet with all those different cycling jerseys😊. Keep it up Thomas, thanks.
Currently living out of a suitcase… 🤣🙈
@@TheCyclingTattooist And still putting in the hours. Respect!
Stunning looking places, as the saying goes , do something you love and you’ll never work a day in your life, best of luck with the new business venture.
Yep you can say that again… I’m very lucky that I’ve always been able to do something I love!
Just started following you on Strava!
🙏
Another epic adventure.. not sure about your fine dining for lunch though!😂😂😂
That was Michelin star… 🤣🙌
I'd definitely be interested!
Get in touch with me on Instagram or find my email in the description of this video… then once we get more info out you’ll be on the list to contact! 😁👍

@@TheCyclingTattooist have sent you an email over mate 👍 cheers Thomas 👌
That would be a great business venture
😁🤞
I would love to ride with you and see the beautiful Portugal landscapes. I wish I could say I'd be able to make it there this year from the U.S. but that's not possible. But if you did get this venture going, I'd definitely be looking at setting something up for late next year of early '26.
Awesome… Get in touch with me on Instagram and send me your email address… or find mine in the description of this video. We’ll be sending out more info very soon… 😁🙌
Jamon Ruffles 😍…..a mainstay of our groups nutritional intake during a recent Girona trip 🤣

@@TheCyclingTattooist thank you Sir. Will do!
Well done.. glad you and the red candy bike are back together. It suits you. It could be great to visit for a camp, but this year it is Italy for me. Hope everything goes well for you i Portugal. Best wishes from Denmark… the country without any mountains 🙄… I think my fintness has declined together with yours 😂
Just go ahead and and announce a date, book some rooms and find a bike hire shop. People will come
Did 200km yesterday funny enough😂..
Fair play mate
Well done mate… nice to get out for a long one! 😁🙌
Nazaré wave season is october do febuary i think.
better luck next time🙃
amzing vid🤙
Yeah I did actually know this… I was just hoping I would be really lucky! 🤣
Would love to come and join a tour, but you have to explain to my wife and kids why I'm going on holiday without them! 😂
Haha deal! 🤣🙌
Get in touch with me on Instagram or find my email in the description of this video… then once we get more info out you’ll be on the list to contact! 😁👍
For Nazaré to have the big waves, it needs particular weather systems out in the Atlantic. Normally found in mid Winter. Check the surfing forecasts for predictions. And yes, São Martinho do Porto is pretty stunning. As is Foz do Arelho and Peniche and the rest of the coast!
Yeah I knew that I probably wasn’t going to be lucky… but that was the best day for me to do the ride so I just went for it and hoped! 🤣🙈
Portugal 💪💪💪💪
You are the best ambassador for Maap clothing. You’ve cost me a fortune in their clothes 😂
Hopefully should be getting an affiliate link soon… 🤪👀
I like Nazaré, though the prices for coffee etc are a bit high there. Óbidos is also highly recommended. My brother has a house there, though he is selling it having just moved back to UK.
Yeah it’s a cool place… I’m definitely going to go back, hopefully with waves next time.
Ha told ya!!! Training camp was comi g when you first moved!!!!
Epic news
Haha! 🤪🤘 you coming?
Call me an addict or something. But something about your videos make me come back every Sunday ❤ love Denmark 🇩🇰
😁🙏🙏🙏
Great I’ll be in Lisbon on the 12th June I’ll need a bike
🙌🙌🙌
hardly a car in sight - or is that your editing? sun and clear roads - hard to beat. keep the videos coming.
🙌🙌🙌
😮200km 💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪💪
🙏🙏🙏
Hey Thomas, I'm up for it, where do I sign up?
Chuck me a message on Instagram if you can… otherwise you can find my email in the description of this video. 😁👍
@@TheCyclingTattooist, Champion! Will do.
What is the name of your bicycle Sir? Model and make please. And how much does that weigh? It looks extremely light! I love your content 🔥
U do any racing Thomas? Did my first race today and wasn’t a big fan
I used to dabble… but not in recent years! It’s not really my thing either to be honest…
@@TheCyclingTattooist ya guys yelling at each other, near crashes plus time off the bike to prepare
Thanks dude!
Any plans of having a new bike?
Maybe… got many other fish to fry at the moment though.
where is the trek
ruclips.net/video/NXkDiEDsJog/видео.htmlsi=xFA4CzzKLpb1sEP7
Thomas do you realise that Portugal will be invaded by hoards of Road Cyclists next spring? 😂😂
Hopefully coming on our holidays… 🤪🤘
Hi sir, what is your height? and bike size? Thanks mate
173cm/51cm 👍
I wanna try 200-250km aswell 2-3 days fasted. I've bought my first racebike 12days ago and 4 days after i bought it i did 150km while i fasted 49h withouth training. I'm carnivore i wouldn't do it while depended on carbs 😅
Carbs are king! 💪
If you need a photographer to come along, let me know :)
I’ll keep that in mind… 🤪🤘
You've lost fitness... Maybe you need a training camp 😉
love the new kit
new helmet
maybe a giveway for subs on your old kit?
🙏🙏🙏
