I'm really glad I came across this channel. I've been cycling for a year now, and out of all the cycling channels I'm subscribe to, this is by far my favorite. Every time I go on the trainer at home I play one of your videos. You're very motivating Thomas.

I think with your power from the road and the BMX background it makes perfect sense to get off road every now and then. Do it, do it, do it.....

Thomas needs that gravel bike upgrade, it’s a brilliant discipline, so much fun 🎉

Looks an awesome laugh! Road bike & speedplay pedals LOL love it

This was hilarious, never seen a gravel ride on the beach before. 😂😂so good

That looks mad! Just got back from Tenerife, watched your post for inspiration before slogging up the Volcano in 35° heat.

Maaaaan I’m in love with this channel ha, only just got on a bike few rides in and love it. Finding time with the kids is hard but this in the eves keeps the buzz there, when I’m fit I wanna tag along on a ride

We have 1 or 2 rounds of the welsh Cyclocross League take place at Pembrey, you should get that new bike & come back later in the year for those! Also, next year at Battle On The Beach, do the time trial in the dark the night before, it's so much fun 👌

Unreal video mate!! Loved it!

That looked like such a laugh, good to see the chemistry between you, Ben and the boys hasn't diminished. When I saw Lawrence's video earlier in the week I was looking forward to enjoying this one with my Sunday breakfast (a bit of a ritual now). We are rather spoiled in South Wales, can't wait for the better weather to return 😊

@@TheCyclingTattooist ah right. So are MTB cleats recessed , to make running/walking easier?

murdering the road bike on that terrain :D Might be worth considering getting a gravel bike. To put it to perspective, you CAN have only one pair of shoes but it wont last nearly as long as if you had one each for running, for working and for anything else :D

You’re gonna have to smash up the piggy bank and claw out the change to get a gravel bike now after that ! A good effort though on a road bike though. Having said that last years gravel world champs was won on a road bike with 33mm tyres ! Keep doing for the Brits 💪🏾
