What the internet really needs is more mediocre cycling videos. Thankfully I’m here to fill that void (you’re welcome) and will be doing so as I attempt various audaxes, brevets and randonnees.

Paul, I love your videos. You are absolutely hilarious. You're like a funny version of Will Ferrell. On a more serious note, I am in awe of your cycling endurance. I recently completed my first 100K, and I was done. I look forward to more of your adventures.

Wow Roger… that’s high praise indeed! I’m glad you enjoy my nonsensical idiocy… I really do question why, and if it’s worth making videos. Feedback like yours makes me realise that maybe it’s not all in vain! Well done on your 100km. Try a 150 next. Before you know it you’ll be doing a 200… and then who knows what. You may even end up giving your undercarriage a name, just like me and Gilbert!

Yeah… kind of lost my mojo for filming. It doesn’t seem worth taking the camera on smaller rides or standard 200km audaxes, so I’m just taking on the bigger, more interesting routes. No point taking the camera just for the sake of it. And, sometimes, I just like to ride for myself.

@@SaddleSore Funnily enough, I never had any nausea on those rides. Just very sore backside and feet, and slumps in energy even though I ate and drank loads. But yes the boredom is something else. Maybe they weren't long enough for nausea to set in.. The last one I did a year ago was in 28 degree heat with relentless sun. So I did have a bit of sunstroke. With The way I felt afterwards, the thought of doing it again and again after only a few hours sleep would fill me with dread.
