100km Every Day for 30 Days: My MOVEMBER Cycling Challenge!

Can an ageing, broken down man really ride 30 days straight, doing 100km a day?!
My MOVEMBER challenge is twofold: to grow a splendid handlebar moustache and also to cycle here in Taipei, Taiwan 100km EVERY DAY for 30 DAYS! Why?
[A great Q especially considering I got a HEMORRHOID the DAY BEFORE I started this challenge!]
Well, there have been times in my life where I was depressed, and as a man, and an English man, I felt like I had to keep it bottled up. Stiff upper lip and all that.
Sport rescued me often, football and specifically the bicycle. Cycling is an individual pursuit in many ways but there is also a social side to it that many of us hold very dear. No matter where you are in the world, no matter whether you speak the country's language or not, if you meet a cyclist, you can communicate through your passion and love for the bike.
'Cycleish', I call it.
There are so many of us that would not even like to imagine life without our bicycles.
So, that's why! I'll be cycling alone often but also expecting to be joined by many of my bike buddies here in Taipei.
In these videos I'll be showing scenes of Taipei and the cycling roads here, as well as documenting the physical and mental changes that I undergo during this quite daunting challenge!
If you feel so inclined, please follow the link and donate, many thanks!
Movember is the leading charity changing the face of men's health, and this Movember I'm joining them. Together we can make a difference for men's health - in prostate cancer, testicular cancer, mental health and suicide prevention. Help me stop men dying too young. Help me, help us, raise some cash for a very worthy cause ;-) Thank you!

@crankpunkrides5434 2 года назад

Ha! Well, 8 years as a pro cyclist and zero stretching didn't help, neither did playing football almost weekly from 4 years old to 36! Enjoyed it tho ;-)

This is a fantastic undertaking - raising funds and awareness for men’s health, and building massive legs at the same time! Sorry I can’t join you in person, but I’ll be there in spirit!

@joefenech6839 2 года назад

Funny thing… I am 56 and as you listed your conditions, I was thinking, yup, me too, got that, 😀. Good luck. I look forward to your rides and destination videos.

@crankpunkrides5434 2 года назад

Shouldn't laugh should we! But we do ;-) It'll be teeth falling out next! Thanks for your support and stay tuned!

Hi, just wanted to ask, when you did Genting Sempah in Malaysia... Did u do it in the big ring and was it in a race situation? As I saw u are in the top 10 for many years now on Strava. Thank you.

@crankpunkrides5434 2 года назад

Hi Glen! I was in the Tour de Langkawi at that time I believe, though it may have been the Jalajah Tour - think it was Langkawi tho. I very much doubt, strong as I like to think I was then, that it was in the big ring ;-) However we did race then on standard cranks, so I'd have been on 39 at the front and probably no more than a 30 at the rear. If I remember rightly, I was competing within my team to beat the team leader to get a place ay the Tour of Taiwan! I just managed it. Ah, those were the (painful) days!

@crankpunkrides5434 2 года назад

Yes, don't do it ... Just joking! Are you thinking to do 100km a day for the month? Or just a single 100km?

@canadianN7 2 года назад

@@canadianN7 Zone 2 is your friend! Keep it mellow and you'll get through it, and of course eat well and hydrate, and when / if the weather gets bad, go full Belgian! (Or indoors, but 100km inside is not much fun)!
