Me and my new cycling buddies are off for an adventure, as we take on a hellish climb by the name of Montejunto. But of course... this ride couldn't just be a nice ride without drama. My bike is not fully functional yet again, my fault entirely this time... so embarrassing, but it is what it is... I soldier on and push through the ride, climbing a tough climb all the way to the top and then struggle to get myself home. This was the hardest ride I've had in a long time... but it's always good to test yourself. Great ride regardless.

You want to get your boy to re-record your intro song "make sure I've charged my Garmin, make sure I've charged my gears"
🤣🤣🤣👍
Literally came here to say this😂
Helder and David are the best cycling dudes around, hard to find nicer guys! Really strong to. 💪🏼❤️
Yeah they really are… I landed on my feet finding those guys! 😁🙌
This is why I love my SRAM AXS, I can carry a spare battery or if I don’t have one I can swap the front and rear batteries 😉. Looks like you’re having a wonderful time and as you say you will laugh at all these mishaps when you look back on them because you are in the place you want to be and living the dream 😊
WHAT A GREAT BUNCH OF RIDERS U HAVE HOOKED UP WITH REALLY ENJOYING THE CONTENT FROM AUSTRALIA VERY FUNNY GROUP RIDE
Thomas is rolling with the punches like Rocky! Luck is throwing the kitchen sink at him and he is taking it and still getting it done 😂👌🏻 looked like him in the rain 😂
How does di2 run out in a couple of rides. If you charged it after the last time you should get months out of it.
I was thinking the same thing and I'm a sram user. Di2 guys only need to charge every few month. I do a charge about 3 to 4 weeks.
Maybe he accidently lent the bike up against the wall amd it pressed a button.
That drains the battery.
Happened to me once before
One… this is a completely different bike. Two… I think the lever was pressed whilst in the bike box on the way home! 🙈
@@TheCyclingTattooistif the high limit screw is too close you can use more battery as the rear derailleurs overstroke motion is restricted.
Just press the right shifter both up and down and it Will indicate your di2 battery percentage
Thanks Thomas.....you've gotta teach em "Bob's your uncle" ! Enjoy your new home and friends , great people !
That’s a gooden… 😁🙌
You have great scenery and a friendly bunch to ride with. Enjoy getting the fitness up
😁🙏🙏🙏
Nice to see home roads on your videos! Next one, 2000D+ on Sintra... 😂
Great video again, Thomas. Montejunto is awesome, and the Vila Verde climb is surely the most enjoyable, all the others are much harder (but you have to do them anyway 😂).
I'm glad you're enjoying our roads and scenery.
Next saturday you should definitely do the Tróia-Sagres event, it's such a cool day out on the bike! 😉
goodluck in your new venture
Enjoyed that one Thomas, reminds me of when I got hounded by a pesky MTB’er back in the summer! I managed to form an alliance with him so I could save my pride. Nightmare! Great content Thomas 👍🚴♂️✅
🤣🤣🤣👍
Montejunto is a beautiful ride and on a clear day you can see the ocean 👌
Another ace vid, glad all is coming together slowly ❤️💪🐾🐾🚴♀️🚴♀️
🙏🙏🙏
Hey Thomas, I think you have the same Turbo trainer as me. I had mine die on me as the Bluetooth would no longer connect. I messaged Elite and sent them a video, they sent a new part and a video on how to fit it. Really good customer service!
Keep on riding and keep making your videos 😀
Strong legs you got there thomas🎉 cheers mate. More breath-taking rides! It gives me a chance to see how great portugal is. Ride Faasst!
Di2 hack - if you are left stuck in an impossible gear, plug another bike’s derailleur cable into your derailleur and change to a gear you can ride home with 👍
Tried that… don’t think it works on the new 12 speed unfortunately. 🙈
Nice weather 🌞in England 🌧🌧🌧🥶
Those roads look epic! Another excellent video. 👌
Cup of tea and a biscuit....brilliant
Cheers from Algarve! We had 24C today, went for a spin to the end of the world :)
Cool videos always!
Nice… we had 18 here today, that’s plenty warm enough for me… 😁🙌
@@TheCyclingTattooist uuu, that's nice,be safe, cheers 🤙🤘
Glad to see you have some new ride buddies their English cracks me up, How did you meet up and on the road appears to be a few groups out so how big is cycling in the area?.
Fantastic attitude. Your videos are always a pick-me-up!!
🙏🙏🙏
love the videos look forward every week to seeing your new life and what's happen chin up buddy its all worth it till next time Wayne
awesome job on that Lola tatt
Thank you! 😁🙏
@@TheCyclingTattooist all the pieces I have are B&W but fine line work, nowhere near that much solid colour. The level of detail in that with all that shading and detail. Really, really great work
Amazing video Thomas👌 nice climbs in Montejunto💪🏼
Thank you 🙌
Great episode. Keep up the good work 🙏🏻👍
think i will stick with mechanical gears :)
Don’t let my stupidity put you off… 🤣👍 I’d never go back to mechanical now!
Just have spare charge Shimano battery in your pocket! Around f £100 in Decathlon : ) Still mechanical gears are the best!
David reminds me of Borat
Next climb you need to discover is Socorro 😉
Old faithful 105 can never run out of battery 😂 does make me think I would never charge my di2 as and when I upgrade haha
Yep, had that....a very low di2 put me in the small ring front but back cassette still worked...
That bad luck seems to be subsiding 🎉 up and up!
Love the content! keep them coming! Thanks!
Stay positive, looks like an amazing place to ride. Hopefully your trainer is under warranty.
If you want to hang with those guys on climbs, go to Madeira and spend a couple of weeks on those roads. You will never fear a 12% grade again...ever. But the 28 will have to go.
Man I want to be on your rides so bad love your banter! Although I'd probably die XD
If you let your Di2 battery go completely flat it will not hold charge when you charge it again. Found this out myself the hard way…
at 11:xx when you talk, look at the view... . Serra do Socorro, your next checkpoint 🤣🤣 do the hardest climb!
You can connect your Di2 with your Wahoo or Garmin and you will get an alarm when your Di2 battery is low. Very useful.
Yes I know I recently got the new bike and forgot to re-pair the di2! 🙈
Get yourself a portable power bank, and use that to charge your di2 (even at home) makes it so much easier …
I’m going to start riding with one in my pocket from now on… 🤣🙌
The biggest climb in Portugal has to be in Madeira Island… from sea level to 1840m high in 20km!
Apparently there’s one that goes above 2000m in the mainland…
Thanks Thomas
You also need to try Serra do Socorro 😊
How about "Oh my days" as his next saying...
My masculinity is not affected.....😂 Great vid. Keep em coming. David needs some proper essex sayings I reckon......."awright geez" is the usual welcome I get when I turn up at the start of a ride 😊
Did you ever do Great Dun Fell in Noeth Pennines?
I'll try this one more time......... Please bring back the whole intro. This includes the lead-in to the lyrics....... We need the setup before it drops.......
Nope!
@@TheCyclingTattooist😢
Only discovered you channel last week and must say some great videos you have posted, must say though every time you flying down hill filming and one hand on the bars my heart is in my mouth 🫣 take care matey
Have you considered mechanical groupsets? 🤔😉
Blasphemous! 🤣
so funny video welcom to portugal m8
Hey Thomas what maap jersey u rocking?
We need an updated intro tho
Yeah I know… it’s on the list! 😁🙌
Classic Welsh ones : who’s coat is that jacket ? ….. and. ‘ I’ll be there now, in a minute 😢
100 lines,
I must not to forget to charge my Di2
🤣🤣🤣
That’s why I’ll never go electric shifters. 😂
I mean they’re fine if you’re not an idiot like me…
A new Scots word for David to learn... Bampot. To be used to describe an idiot!
Never heard that… haha! Thanks! 🤣
That tattoo 🫡
🙏🙏🙏
Go back to mechanical, that will fix any Di2 issues for good😂
🤣 I’m never going back…
Perhaps you should have gone with SRAM Axs instead with spare batteries. 😂
Honestly for me DI2 is nothing but poo. Old school mechanical all day. Anyhoo, I always enjoy your videos brother!!
If you don’t forget to charge like an idiot like me… then it’s amazing and sh*** all over mechanical, I’d never go back! 🤣🤪
What bars are you using? I would like to get same set but don’t see any marking on them
Prime primavera’s 😁🙌
Of course I just watched the Hatch race track video where you stated what the bars were. Lesson is not to miss videos@@TheCyclingTattooist
Do you need a new battery? Or was one of the levers being pressed in the bike box when you brought it back?
Yeah we think that must have been it… as it’s brand new. Oh well… still got it done! 🤣🙈
What kind vehicle you after?
I count on 3 things, your late ,looking for sweets and you forgot to charge. You just need an entourage like Wout.
I was only 9 minutes late this day… that’s pretty good for me! 🤣🙈
Great video mate. Tips on descending would be nice. Was you always confident doing that or did you learn?
..>Eartha Kitt
And that’s why I ride mechanical lol
Yep I went back to mechanical from 12sp Di2. One less thing to charge and worry about and with compression less housing the shifting is so clean and quick. I don't miss Di2 at all
What wheels do you use ??
Prime primavera 56’s… 😁🙌
This video is brought to you by MAAP
Well, the kit is anyway…
Do you think our kid could learn some good ol black country speak 😂
eeeebygum
Hank Marvin
That’s a classic! 🙌
Are you learning Portuguese?
Yes slowly… we are doing 2 lessons a week at the moment!
Ah mate, it’s not as if you make You tube videos on a bike that you need! Lol. Be on time as those lads might just F off without you if you’re late all the time lol.
🤣👍
Sorry but I was laughing too much at your cadence suffering. Most of us have forgotten to charge our Di2 at some stage but when it goes dead a long way from home you learn the charging lesson quickly and vow never to let it happen again.
Any normal person would have turned around at 30km… but no, I had a mountain to climb! 🤣🙈
first??
🙌🙌🙌
dont buy Citroen
Imagine that guy on MTB was on his road bike......Beast😂
I'll stick with my Ultegra mechanical 👍🏻 ..... and David, say I'm"Donald ducked" on the bike in the next video it = fucked 🤣
