CYCLING 200KM IN THE WORST SHAPE OF MY LIFE!

Спорт

EPISODE #149
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.

    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’.

    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.

    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!

    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!
