Hampshire Loop :: Day 1 :: Aldershot to Rake

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 19 มิ.ย. 2024
- It was months ago that Alan and I first discussed doing a ride this weekend.
We discussed it, agreed it was a good idea and then did no more planning until the day before when we had a hasty zoom call to throw route ideas around.
I'm very pleased with how nice it turned out considering how little prep we did. Beautiful trails, passable weather and a nice pub dinner to round out the day.

'Vocal Alan'..😂 Penn and Teller of cycling...
He goes by many names :)
Brilliant Jethro and Alan ride again hooray!! As usual guys wonderfully entertaining. Next episode please 👍
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Day 2 coming very soon!
Great to see the "Gruesome Twosome" 😂on a ride again..really enjoyed that mini adventure fellas!👍
Glad it was entertaining. Day 2 coming any moment now!
Very adventurous and very entertaining! Your best Alan Partridge moment on the new Tunnock’s! Also notable as a bloke living in Wales how relatively nice and flat it was … here you’re either breathing out of your arse going up or burning brake pads going down. I long for flat and gentle.
And I long for hilly and rugged ;)
Grass is always greener and all that!
I'm just back from five days in the Cairngorms and actually had a pretty good mix of riding. Some climbs, some descents, some cruises. It's great when a route comes together like that.
@@JethroJessop look forward to seeing what you got up to 👍
type two fun for sure ! great content,thanks
It didn't quite get to type 2. I was enjoying myself all the while.
If the temperature had dropped it would have gone into type 2 territory for sure ;)
Good you’re out enjoying the countryside and your riding. Well done. Thanks.
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank's for watching :)
ahh familiar soundtrack and familiar faces. good stuff!
little bit of alan partridge coming through in your tunnocks review 😂
Not intentionally but it isn't the first time the comparison has been drawn :)
I'll take it. Partridge has a certain cool about him!
YESSSS!!! The damn good duo is back!!!
Just one of the many ways that people refer to us ;)
Very good , I like the sound of off road cycling but …… still makes for great viewing 🚲👍
Off road all the way for me. I'd rather push through a km of mud than be overtaken by a single truck
Thought you were going into Tunnockgate territory for a moment!
You really did travel through the wilder parts of North 'Ampshire
I didn't even know there were wild places in Hampshire but we seemed to find the best of them!
The path less pedalled 😀
That's where we're always heading for :)
Every time I hear the dude track I know I’m in for some quality vocal Jethro rambling and a bit of a bike ride. I find it a soothing track.
03:20 Don’t turn away from me! 😂😂😂
07:42 Q: is Alan handling some random ‘explosive’ ordnance?
14:34 You’re like an old married couple… 😂😂😂
I genuinely think it's a great track. I kind of think of it as the closest thing I have to a theme tune, along with a couple of others.
Apparently it isn't just me who uses it heavily though so I should probably try to diversify a bit.
One day I'll get round to sitting down and recording a load of my own stuff to use!
Absolutely mental weather. Great fun though!
I agree wholeheartedly with both those statements!
What a good mate, bringing you a choccy bar. Excited to see what other adventures you get up to this season while I watch from a cold New Zealand.
He is a decent fellow for sure!
I'm just back from five days in Scotland (though not with Alan) which was epic. I've not been through the footage yet but it should yield some good videos over the coming weeks!
I'm sorry & really surprised to hear about your saddle sores ,After all the touring you do .Some tips I've learnt since having bad sores after doing a very wet LEJOG was Saddle cream in the day & Sudorcrem in the evening.I stopped using padded shorts & just use seamless boxers .I ditched my brooks saddle a got a specialized power saddle & a Cain creek ee silk thud buster .This works really well for me .The trouble with padded shorts is once they compress it's another thing to rub .If you still want to use them ,use a different make every other day so the seems don't rub in the same areas .
Did I say I had saddle sores??
I honestly don't remember but I was exaggerating if I did. A slightly bruised arse is the worst I ever suffer from and I've not had actual saddle sores for many years.
I also have the eesilk and it is great! Got an ebay bargain and have been very pleased indeed with how much difference it makes!
@@JethroJessop Sorry that response was meant for someone else ,I seem to be doing this quite a lot now I'm 60 ...Anyway I'm off to test my new tent down here on the Isle of Wight .
@@kevindean9613 So I responded to someone else's saddlesores! How inappropriate ;)
Hope the tent works out!
Alan AND a new Thuttocks, 🎉 what more could we ask for. My last video also suffered with tech issues. Thanks for sharing what you can. Jolly entertaining 👍
Bloody gremlins. They get everywhere!
Fortunately I only lost a few shots and was able to work round it. Would be a bummer to lose anything more than that though.
..still owes me the money for that Tunnocks!
@@Alan_s_Channel I'd watch him, he's a slippery fellow... Don't let him palm you off with some wooden beads, they're not real currency, I've tried 😔
@@Cobwobbler I thought those beads seemed a bit soft… he told me they were made out of masonry leftovers!
Bravo young men!
Thank you :) I'm glad we delivered!
Hello, Alan.
Stop encouraging him!
Hi 👋🏼
My home town Aldershot
Some great riding round there that I never really knew existed!
@@JethroJessop lots of MOD land love discovery lots of place’s
Great video I love it. You got a smile in my face very entertaining you guys keep up the good work.🎉😂😂
I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching :)
It's great to see Alan back out 🚲😀👍
I'm sorry to hear about Alan's rebuffal, you make a great couple but that's the magic of editing I suppose.
Behind closed doors and all that ... 🤔🤷♂️
Oh yeah, it's all for the cameras. We are mortal enemies off screen and can hardly be in the same room together without starting to throw punches. I usually come out worst. Alan is surprisingly handy in a brawl! 😉
@@JethroJessop
Oh wow, that bad eh ...
And as for Alan being a brawling pugilist, well, you know what they say about the vocal ones ...
@@tonypaddler He seems docile but when the red mist comes down...!!
He's an animal!
@@JethroJessop
Animal Alan eh, a reincarnated honey badger ... 🤔
@@tonypaddler He eats honey badgers for breakfast!
I know the feeling when half your recorded adventure vaporises, we lost half of our 600 mile adventure through Scotland. Everything looked ok until I tried to editors my GoPro 10 footage, it was scrambled junk. The irony was that my wife’s GoPro 9, famed for scrambling clips behaved perfectly.
Is the 9 bad for that then?
Mine is a 9 and has been spot on so far. It does weird things with the dates and timestamps but I've not had it scramble footage yet. You have me worried now :)
My issue occurred when backing up the footage at the end of the day. The backup card seemed to lock up half way and dropped a load of files. Live and learn eh?
😊
I'm very concerned...Alan seems to have gone missing !
He's never far away ;)
You don’t use clipless pedals and cleats then? i.e. Shimano mtb type clips and shoes. For better pedalling and walking? There are other types of course,but I think the Shimano Deore XT would suit you? I use the XTR, but that’s just cos I am loaded and money is no object! I assume you’ve given them or something similar a try, I was just wondering on your thoughts! Thanks for a great fun vid both.
I did use SPDs for a year or so but I never really got fully comfortable with them. They definitely help in terms of power delivery but when you get off road and the trails get rutted and rocky and technical they just become a liability. I toppled sideways on hidden obstacles one too many times and went back to flats.
I tried those pedals that are SPD on one side and flat on the other for a while but just found I was on the flats so often it wasn't worth it.
I tried toe straps too but had a similar experience when going off road.
I see you can get magnetic systems now. That's an interesting idea but too expensive to try on a whim.
Alan rides a different bike in each video. Are they his or does he borrow them?
He has many - I'm genuinely not sure of the exact count. They are all his project bikes and he's supposed to be filming the builds and starting his own TH-cam channel!
Keep nagging him and he might actually sort it out one day ;)
I have 9 bikes in total. It’s embarrassing really 🙈
@@Alan_s_Channel And yet, are there 9 videos on your TH-cam channel? There are not!
@@JethroJessop I’m working on it 😆
Hey your riding my local paths. Wonder what routes your going to use.
Me 10 minutes later... Nah am all right.
It was mostly really good riding. We just encountered a few setbacks.
These are what keep things feeling adventurous 😉
"I'm very wet." Branching out into fansonly territory?
You and Allen are always entertaining. Another great vid! Although, not more "Dude, Where's My Horse?" Every youtuber and his dog use this. I've heard it so many times it makes my ears bleed. Please stop :)
Do they?
i've not come across it elsewhere but I probably use it enough to drive people to distraction single handedly :)
There is so much bad music in the YT library that I tend to just reuse the decent ones over and over.
I would love to sit down and record a load of my own tracks to use but I just never seem to find the time.
lol, bless you both......do you guys not use Komoot to plan a ride? Looking forward to the next video boys
I never got on with Komoot. It seems to want to do everything for you which I don't trust.
I've tried asking it to plan routes in areas that I know really well and it never comes back with what I would call the best and it's not great for making fine adjustments yourself.
I use RideWithGPS to plan in advance then tweak as needed on the ride. I really enjoy the planning part, going over maps, checking the terrain and spotting nearby features.
Been a while since I tried komoot though so maybe it's better now.
