Strong ride Thomas 💪 happy to get going again provided there’s no more KZread challenges 😂 although I’d love to see you take those watts into a Crit race. That would make a good KZread video!

Ah the lows and then the highs and the lows again! The boy pulled through 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 well done Tom! It was a lesson on why you should endure! Lots of points you could have chucked it but you seen it through 💪🏻🔥

Chapeau! I managed a 200 miler last year with some mates and it nearly killed me! We started at 4:30am and finished about 9pm. I got home and was physically sick. Promised myself never again. 😅

Congratulations on ticking that off your list Thomas! I completed Seattle To Portland as my first 200mi ride recently, the sense of accomplishment of a big effort like that for the first time really is great :-)

Great effort Thomas - inspiring others as usual..

That is some undertaking Thomas, especially all on your own with no headphones and starting at 9am foregoing at least 3 hours of daylight 😂 I imagine there were a few dark moments but well done for getting it done 👏

Brilliant Thomas 👏 inspiring video, well done

Great ride and true show of pure determination to get it done. 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

Love the content..watching from Accident & Emergency after snapping my wrist coming off the bike!

Thanks for bringing us along for the ride Tom. So nice to see the grand sweep of the English countryside through your eyes and camera lens. For someone who was born and spent my first seven years there, but been away most of the 40+ years since, it means a lot.

Incredible Achievement Thomas! wow! what a journey with the body and soul.... I first noticed it on strava before the vid..Chapeau 🎩 👏👏👏👏👏

Awesome ride…well done for sticking at it 💪👊

Amazing ride! You rock

Brilliant Thomas, before my Op was crashing out the miles but struggling at present Thanks for keeping it real 👍

Thanks Thomas...growing the legend

Kudos dude that looked super tough! Great content as always too 👌 Love it!

Great video and well done

Did 144miles yesterday, a Ginster Cornish pasty and a bag of haribo saved my ride 😂 great effort solo 👍

Absolute legend! Love your vids and the sense of adventure that you get across. Also I was thinking about your bottle/top tube situation. I use a brand that has a magnetic bottle connection, so you twist the bottle to get it out rather than pull it up. Might work? Or they even have a different system where you can attach it anywhere on your bike. So maybe the seat post for you? They're called fidlock. There are probably similar alternatives.

Tom when you do rides like this how to you get back home after the rides ? Do you get someone to collect you or do you find your own way back ?
