Tonight's video is a big one!

I spent £1000 and tried to build the best gravel bike I possibly could.

Big Update for the Channel!

Hi everyone, exciting news! The channel is getting a rebrand. While “Going for a Fairly Long Bike Ride” was fun, it no longer reflects the content I’m creating as the channel has grown far beyond its origins as my touring diary.

From now on, the channel will be called Tom Bowers Cycling.

This change will hopefully help to make the purpose of my channel clearer to new viewers. 

Your support, through likes, comments, and feedback, has been incredible over the past few months, and I can’t thank you enough for helping the channel grow so quickly.

I’d love to hear your thoughts on the change and what you’d like to see next, more bike builds, iconic climbs, race vlogs, or something else?

Cheers,
Tom

And we are back for the second half of the series.

I finally managed to recover all the files from my broken laptop and have finished the edit for episode 13. Unfortunately, I've never used Premier Pro before so it does have very early 2000 Windows movie maker vibes!

In theory, the final 6/7 episodes should be weekly from now on.
