Jay's Rides
United Kingdom
เข้าร่วมเมื่อ 1 ก.ย. 2013
Welcome to my channel. Here you'll find videos of my cycling adventures and the occasional travel video. These will be mainly solo adventures but I will sometimes be accompanied by fellow travellers. My aim is to show the enjoyment of cycling and put out videos which will hopefully inspire others to get out and ride.

Winter Wonderland - Join me for a very cold first ride of 2025

Thank You
It might be sunny, cloudy, windy, foggy, raining, sleeting or snowing. It doesn’t really matter as a bad day on a bike far outweighs a good day sat on the sofa! Ultimately, pretty much all weather conditions are perfect riding conditions!

This ride will to date mate likely be your biggest challenge yet on the bike. I didn’t know of the charity until you mentioned it and if they can help Mrs B then they are a charity well worth supporting. This will definitely be a ride I will be following with a big interest and will support. The hard days of training will be so worth it Jason if it can help people suffering from skin cancer like our lovely Mrs B and many others in the UK.
A nice little ride out for you and Mrs B to the cafe on your scooters maybe mate, I must say that 'Cruffing' did look very tasty.
I did the Tour de Broads ride last month as you did, but did the 100 mile, so a good option for a 100. I thought it was a really good ride.
@markfly480 Cheers Mark. I've done the TdB a couple of time so maybe a good option for the 100 next year..
That was brilliant to see you go around the track mate, It looked like you was using some of the slipstreams to get past some of the other riders on those bends on the inside of the track. 😀Another good ride completed mate.👍. Although it did look like a bit of steep hill at the start to get on the track, so getting that lactic acid pumping early mate.😀
I did the TourDeBroads 100 on Sunday for the first time. Did it with my mate and his club. Thought it was a great event and well organised. Was good to get a proper medal as well as you said, rather than the piece of hardboard many do!!
It's 2024 fella.
Well done to you all, great effort and all for a great cause.
Another good ride out on the bike it appears mate, well done for completing it despite it being challenging at times. When you was close to that other rider I thought you was sitting in his slipstream to help you get up those climbs lol.. Well done again and I look forward to the next one.
hi jay love your videos .. i used to live in suffolk and around cambridge ,i really hope you enjoyed the ride,
Hi Karen, thanks for the comment. Glad you enjoyed it.
Hi Jay, I did the same ride. It wasn't particularly hilly, but I found the headwind was unrelenting, no give up and chill. Thanks for the upload.
Hi Jay, good to see you back out on the bike and in the sportive's. You were risking life and limb on some of those roads i'm sure. pleased you enjoyed it.And flook orward to the next one.i wonder what the penny farthing riders time was.
Cheers Tony. It was a good ride and great to get the first medal of the year. Not sure where the penny farthing was going but the guy was a real eccentric. He was just ambling along with a big old pipe in his gob. Obviously wasn't part of the event but there was a tandem riding it.
I love the fens. Nice and flat .for people don't like it can't do big hills .but still want to cycle
See you in a bit..... see you in a bit
😂
Happy birthday. Happy riding dude 👌
Thanks mate!
Happy birthday if you think your age is bad wait till your Seventy , something for you to look forward too. Joking aside keep at it , I have been cycling for over 40 years I accept age and do what I can I still do 4 rides a week unless it rains then it's the turbo due to arthritis. Keep going .
Thanks Mike. Really appreciate your support.
Wow what a lovely ride and the lack of traffic amazing. Great video.🚴👍
cool idea:)
Cold there is different than cold at 5000k elevation
Looks like a great place to ride 👌
Local lad, keep up the good work!
Those roads and the lack of traffic are amazing.🚴👍
Good to see you back out on the bike mate, take care on those roads. And I’ll look forward to seeing the upcoming Christmas video.
CGI is top draw J
I ❤ this place
Excellent video!!! I liked it very much! 💯Congratulations, have a good weekend!
That is really good mate As it’s my birthday today, I was looking forward to seeing this.
Nice video. Def know it's Autumn now having got drenched yesterday morning out on the bike!!
Good morning, my friend! Your first autumnal ride of this year was very beautiful! Have a good week!
Have you thought about joining a club - it was a game changer for me. Riding with others every weekend improves motivation no end. That's just my experience mind 😊
Hi Mark, thanks for watching and getting in touch. There is a club local to me. My only issue is the shifts I work and the fact I wouldn't be able to devote the time to it around my work schedule. I actually enjoy the solo rides. I think the issue is more the time of year and the wet and the cold which hits the desire to go out.
Good to see you back out on the main bike mate.
Great effort mate. Good to get back on the original bike pleased it’s fixed. And the medal around your neck just makes it that little bit more worth while. 👍
I liked very much your video, the route was super! Congratulations, my friend, have a nice weekend!💯
Wow, an excellent video! A real pleasure to watch! Thank you for sharing, my friend!💯
Beautiful ride! I wish you good health and a quick repair of the bike!
Bloody hell mate, considering the road you was on it could’ve been so much worse. I’m sure you will be ok and hopefully the bike gets repaired soon. On the plus side the video was going so well up-to that point, the views from the island are amazing. I stayed in Shanklin when I went a couple of years ago and on our travels in the car felt the inclines, so on a bike they must’ve been really tough going. I guess the only good thing at the point of the inclines was that you wasn’t going in to a strong head wind. But the main thing is mate your ok and the bike can be fixed. Hope the rest of the holiday went well, and thankfully Mrs B was there to come and get you.
I rode the 100 TdB, (my first ever 100 mile ride) certainly agree about the headwind on the run into the finish. Also, like you, ended up massively dehydrated. Good ride though. Total number of entrants was 1250 for the TdB!
It was a great route. I'd definitely do it again. Really enjoyed it. Well done on the 100. 🚴🏻♂️🤓
Beautiful tour!
So much for global warming 😂 I got caught out yesterday without a rain jacket - teeth were chattering - couldn't believe it was August!!
I know. Its been unbelievably manky!
That’s great Jay, to have Active Root ask you to be an ambassador for their products. Who knows, next sponsorship and further endorsements. I’m sure once you get the miles back in the legs it will become a lot easier and by the time you get to the Isle Of Wight the legs will be ready for the challenge. On a side note mate, have you ever considered the superman pose on the decent of some of those hills. Lol.
Good vid!. And love wind turbines surprising how big they are when you are next to them!. Also far to much traffic on the roads starting to become a real pain I thought the government were going to push cycling forward more lies and shit lol!!.
