Great!! We climb these kind of roads every now and then 😂

The heat in Beira Interior can be scorching. The sensible thing to do is to stop and recharge. Kudos.

Have you done the Australian Falls Creek peaks challenge? Come over and do it mate if you haven’t 👍

Portugal is a great country to cycle… gf and I did the N2 last October… hope you had some support keeping up with your nutrition requirements…

the only logical decision has been made :D also I really liked the music in this vid (Y)

Mega effort dude

Do you use a chest mount for your go pro?

Great vid....back on the old bike I see ;-)

Good job Brother! Keep up the good work!

Better to try and fail, than not try at all. Chapeau!

Have you ever asked yourself while riding "Why am I doing this"? 😁

260k solo is hardly a failure. Well done thanks for the great videos, inspirational as always.

The ascents are hell, but it makes it worth it with the joy you get on the descents.

Hi, what bike frame is that?

I couldn’t even ride half of that and considering you rode the same route the week before you should be so proud as that was one big effort! Love the content keep em coming 👊🏻

Mega video, mega effort. Admire the work you put into these videos - always an enjoyable watch. Thank you

Pretty impressive performance, riding that distance by yourself - thanks for the effort. Stunning scenery.

Only you would say after a sufferfest of 330 a few days previous lets do this again, but harder... You're nuts man, keep at it!

Great ride again 👌🏻🫡!!! Amazing

Nice ride my friend! Keep it up!

260+km is still a BEAST of a day. Massive kudos. And smart call. Thanks for uploading this, always great to see the highs and lows, even when the lows are after a massive effort!

a great effort and a sensible decision to call it off. Kudos to you, that challenge is no joke

Still did way more than the average Joe. Bordering and perhaps psychopathically your determination to keep going was obvious.

Great effort, classic "an old bit of leather down there"

Fair play guv, big big effort! Tough when you get to that point and no point in carrying on.

Amazing effort either way. And fantastic support from Rach and your gorgeous pup ❤💪🏁🚴‍♀️🚴‍♀️

Brilliant effort in that heat mate 😊

the BONK is real. better to be safe and have fun. Heat is hitting the states and its early rides only.

🔥🙌🔥🙌 Must have taken ages to put together a playlist for a ride (well, two rides) that length! 😂 Is there a Cycling Tattooist one rocking around anywhere?

Got to go with a white top Thomas makes all the difference in the sun, blacks working like a solar panel 🔥 Great effort though tip my hat to you Sir

Hope you enjoyed....oh yes. One day you're a Cockerell the next a feather duster. Anyone who rides bikes knows exactly how you felt mate. But it's those rides that can be the most memorable. Thanks for sharing Thomas. Big respect brother❤️🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁷󠁬󠁳󠁿

Niiice, well done! What music you listen to while riding?

Sometimes the body says no. Good call to stop. 😎

What a great solo adventure! Fantastic Thomas! Greetings from Covilhã!

Great effort and video. It must be an unwritten rule that all cyclists must ride with their hands on the tops regardless of the gradient when bonking as it feels just that little bit easier 🥵

Your a nutter ! 1 week after and your at it again…. Accepting defeat is not easy, i did asterton bank in Shropshire last week on a 28T compact got half way couldnt move my legs, gravity won. I sulked all the way home in the car 😅 i am going to attempt it again but on a 30T. Keep up the content my go to guy 👍

Still an epic ride in itself Tom , no shame. Got to Listen to your body mate , u did the right thing 👏

Dont be a weight weanie ! Great content

thx for this authentic experience - i guess a lot of us have been through similiar moments at some point of our bike riding life.

Great effort. I live near Granada Spain and I always take a Buff on a ride for cleaning glasses, as a flannel but when I ride through a village I’ll soak it under a fountain and wear it under my helmet. It’s cooling and protects my (bald) head and the back of my neck from the sun.

Thomas the universe always gives us the lesson we needed and even more so the experience to lead us forward. Losing the camera 📷 meant those moments were only meant for you and your team/people you encountered that day. Somethings are just for you, the gift 🎁 today, the present 🎁. The second venture you showed its okay to not complete something as the next time you do it will mean so much more. Not completing doesn’t mean it wasnt awesome for us to be there with you in spirit. Much love to your growing family. ❤

Do you use a gopro chest piece, or a mouth piece?

Nice work. Looks melting🥵. Do you have a deal with MAAP as I see you have different kit or are you part of some shared kit club?

Well done Thomas. Amazing ride. Respect mate,.. Like u r channel. Portugal is amazing for cycling . Take care..

When I said “chin up“ I didn’t mean you should suffer like a dog again 😂. Well done Thomas - stellar effort - showing us how it’s done!

oh boy!! Amazing video! With only one week to recover between two huge rides.... It takes courage and a great set of balls! Props man! Planning myself a solo ride from my home town to Serra da Estrela. It will be *only* 200kms but with 5000 meters of climb and climbing to the top coming from Vide to Torre passing through the famous "Adamastor" climb (ask your Portuguese friends, they will tell you all about it) and I still haven't find the courage to do it. Well this video is inspiring me to do it. I guess we cyclists are some sort of masochists on wheels 😂😂😂

28 degrees is the temperature we leave our house at 5am in Florida. We typically are riding in 95 - 100 degrees through the summer. Great effort but your fitness must be better if you are going to hit this distance.

Well Thomas I must give you double qudos for this. You are a brave man! I hope you get the camera back - eventually. 😁😁

Been there - done that - if there is one thing that can beat me - it’s the heat
