@@mhb.trains good cheers mate! it was 100mi 5k elevation in the end, 6hr33 moving (8hr elapsed). Thankfully no mechanicals, don't think I would've had your resolve to continue as it ended up being dark near ride's end, set off far too late in the day😅 Here's to the next one!
5K elevation is craaazyy!! 😭 Great shift from you finishing that in the dark! Haha I cant lie moral definitely went down after the mechanical but yeah the early start made it manageable 🙌🏼 where was the ride you did?
Well done. I did the same ride (my first century too). That rain was pretty epic! Shame about your puncture. I'd had a few annoying ones recently so decided to take the plunge and go tubeless, which I don't regret one bit. I must have passed at least 20 people fixing them once all the courses rejoined.
@@michaeljohnston6898 thanks man! Ahh hope your ride went well! Yeah I’ve heard loads of people say go tubeless but then have also heard loads saying don’t bother so I’m a bit conflicted 😂 I’m definitely considering it after that experience though! Was it a pain for you to set up?
@@mhb.trains No not at all. Valves on. Gloop in. Job done. I did it outside in case of spillage. I also did a practice run with no sealant to check the tyres would work ok, which they did.
Great stuff, I got the 2023 Propel 2 great bike for the money. I have stuck some deep section wheels on and it looks fab. Keep enjoying yours and don;t forget the tribal if that will keep you riding through winter 👍
Is that the thing where you ‘invite someone that hasn’t recorded the ride’? There’s been times where I would have wanted to combine two rides when my watch stops accidentally, if you can do that then that would be amazing 😂🙌
100mi and a story to tell 😊 well done keeping at it and completing.
@@BeMoreOutdoors thank you! Was a great day out and will definitely be doing more of them! 🙌
Well done!
Thank you mate 🙌
Nice one, good one to start with.
@@TheZFExperience thank you! 🙌 yeah for sure, defo want to build up the difficulty, but glad I did this one to start 😂

My bike came all ready for it (wheels, rim tape, and tyres). I just needed to buy some valves and sealant.
Did you find the process of setting them up a pain?

Wow! Good to hear it was relatively straight forward - I’ve heard so many horror stories it’s always put me off! Nice to know that it’s not too bad 🙌
fresh upload lets gooooooooooooooo

@@patsizer3581 thanks mate! Bet the bike looks mega with some deep section wheels on! Will definitely be braving the weather through the winter 🙌
not sure anyone has mentioned, but you can join rides using an app so that they will show as one in Strava

Great video. New Forest is such a beautiful part of the world.
What’s the name of the track that’s being played in the video?
Thank you 🙏 It really is! Can't recommend that ride enough - next one is in April I think.
The song is 'Feel so Blue' by Katori Walker 🤝
