Last few days in LA, then back for the tour on the 3rd. Fully relaxed and ready for some wet riding in the rain! Next video will be dropping Sunday 6pm GMT featuring Paul Spence and his classic bike. Thanks- Tom

Come what may, I’ve never been one to worry whether a video gets 1 view or 10 million views. Those who know me understand that it’s never really been about the views or how many miles I ride. It’s just about getting out there, riding, enjoying and experiencing the journey.
Coming up to 3K subscribers, I’m forever humbled that anyone takes the time to tune in and watch my little videos. No scripts, no nonsense — just honest reviews and rides from a middle-aged chap with a hole in his lung!
A big shout-out to all of you who’ve watched me struggle over the years. This year has brought a few changes to my home life, some medical challenges and a few work-related changes too, but I’m still here and still riding.
With more changes and restrictions coming to YouTube next year, I really hope I can continue doing this and making some great videos for you all. Hopefully I can count on my core subscribers to keep watching to the end — and maybe even drop me a like once in a blue moon. :)
Seriously though, thank you to everyone who watches, comments and sticks around. It means more than the numbers ever will.
Stay frosty!

A few weeks back, I headed off to London to watch the mighty return of the Nocturne — the first time in, I think, 10 years? It was a superb event, and I had many great chats with the cyclists riding in it, as well as some die-hard fans around the track.
I managed to film it all and captured some amazing shots of the event, including the women’s and men’s finals later in the evening!
However... I managed to lose my rather expensive GoPro Mission 1 Pro, with about 70% of the footage on it, on the train back home. Hence the really short video — a shame, but it still shines :) Video online later tonight, members can grab it early of course. #LondonNocturne #CyclingHighlights #CritRacing #LondonCycling #fixedgear

Hey everyone,
Doing great, thanks! I'm building up my fitness levels, and this running is really improving my core strength. I'm very keen to see the results once I'm back out on the bike.
Some major life-changing events are happening at the moment, so every race and event I had planned on the bike has been postponed or cancelled. However, I'm still hanging on for one specific ride, so I'll wait it out until the bitter end, so to speak.
More updates as they come. In the meantime, if you fancy following my fitness journey, check out my running channel while I'm still editing the cycling videos here!
(also if you are running the Lincoln 10k this weekend, stop me and say hello! I will be filming my wobble round on Sunday)
Cheers
