Completing My Dream Ride | Back on the South Downs Way
Спорт
I've dreamed of the day I'd be well enough to cycle up onto the South Downs Way & finally that day is here. Not everything goes to plan though.

Fairplay to you. I can see the excitement of you being on the S,D,W but also the sadness that you can't go as far as you are used too. Small steps one ride at a time and you have come along way since your car accident. We are behind you one hundred percent and looking forward to more vids 👍👌😎

Thank you for the support, it's appreciate. Can't ride so far but can build from here which gives me hope for the future.
awesome @themuddycyclist - really good to see you back out on the downs, slowly, slowly mate youll get your fitness and strength back - 19 weeks isn't much time at all given what you've been through - like you said, getting out on the bike into the downs is such a great place to be :) nice one

Thank you. 19 weeks doesn't seem too bad, especially when I wasn't sure I'd ever get back!
Good on you. Your have to get yourself a new rucksack to carry those essentials in. Well done

It's great to see you back on the SDW and to hear the emotion in your voice at your achievement. You must be pumped. (Pun intended!). I mentioned a few videos ago that watching your channel inspired me to ride the SDW. I've only got Southease to Eastbourne to go. It's taking longer than planned because of other commitments, plus I live in London so it's a bit of a trek. Regarding punctures, like you I had a front tyre puncture on the SDW. I ride tubeless with sealant which didn't work on this occasion. I had to put a plug in it and pump it up - make sure you get a bag and carry a pump in future! You can also get neat plug cases which take up hardly any space. Hope your recovery continues and that you start feeling fitter and fitter. All the Best, Geoff

I'm pleased you were inspired to take on the SDW, hope it's going well. You're nearly there, still a few nasty climbs to go though! I've since added more sealant to me front tyre and it's sorted it, for now. Will sort myself out a rucksack and spares, I'm asking for trouble going out without any.

@@themuddycyclist Woohoo, finished it! You were right, though - it definitely had a kick in the tail. I'm now turning my attention the the NDW. Thanks again - I never would have contemplated it without your videos. All the best to you for the future. Hopefully you'll soon regain your previous level of fitness. Geoff

@@user-ut2pv4tl6j Many thanks Geoff and congratulations. Be aware of the NDW, not all is bridleway, quite a lot of footpath. Hopefully back to return to fitness soon, not helped by having Covid right now😥
Good to see you back

Good to see you back, me thinks an e-bike is the best bet unless you run out of battery like i did yesterday 🤣

Thanks Mick, still hoping I can get fit enough to not need an e-bike 🤞
Sorry to hear that news. Nice to know you have made a full recovery. Great video. Losing air in the tyre, what a bummer. Nice of her to get the pump for you. The South Downs Way looks wonderful. Cheers. Stoozer (New Sub). Keep going and take care. 🤠
