- Day 2 of 4 riding the Cantii Way, anticlockwise, starting in Folkestone.
Details, links and additional info below ↓↓↓
Day 2 threw some different weather at us than day 1, the golden sunshine being replaced by wetter, greyer conditions. I also woke up feeling pretty ill which is something that will become a bit of a feature over the remaining days of this trip.
We rode a fairly leisurely ride along the coast and then inland to Canterbury. At one point I mention my past attempts at making short films with friend of the channel Woodie and, as promised, if you want to see any of them then check out the channel :: www.youtube.com/@RedDedDog/vi...

===Zombie Christmas Story===
It isn't really related to this channel or the content I produce here but I have always enjoyed creative writing and a few years ago I wrote a short story about Father Christmas fighting zombies.
My good friend (and friend of the channel) Woodie illustrated it and we had it printed as a little book.
With Christmas approaching at a worrying clip we have put together a website where you can buy a copy for yourself, for a friend, for the zombie fan next door!
It really is a lovely thing which we are very proud of and you can get a copy here :: christmas-zombie-book.framer.ai/

The Darkness - Don't let the bells end
We'd have to ride out to Lowestoft and record that one on the beach 😉
Good luck with finding a TOTP from the 70’s that can still be broadcast! 😳
Yeah, there will be a certain amount that doesn't sit very well with an audience armed with hind sight :|
Yay! More Alan! (and Jethro)
I think you mean... "More Jethro and that other guy, I forget his name, maybe Andy? Anyway, let's listen to Jethro now" 😉
My favourite masonry channel, hair was on point too, sorry about the snot though, I hope you’re feeling better
Ignore the snot. It's all about the hair. One of the coolest creations on TH-cam if I do say so myself 😉
Islands in the sun, for karaoke 😂
Good selection! I shall add to the list for consideration 😉
YEAAAA ITS ALAN!! Jethro my friend, you sound like you need a netti squeeze bottle. That will help open up your sinuses.
I definitely needed something. I was feeling proper rough that day. Good job Alan was there to carry the show 😉
Those shades! Alan channeling Donald Fagen.
I literally wear those shades in every video and no one ever mentioned them!
Then Masonry Boy dons then and everyone thinks he looks cool.
That Alan is getting too big for his boots. I might have to make him run along beside my bike on the next trip and remind him whose name is on the channel page! 😉
@@JethroJessop😂 wait.. you wear glasses?! I’ve never seen them!
I do like a bit of Steely Dan 😆
@@alanl1960 get back in your box sidekick!!
You both look very cool. Id wink at you both 😅
Well thank you 😉
Sad to see you feeling crappy... beautiful ride even with the grey sky. Great Idea going for the comfort of a room at the end of each night! Be well. Thanks for conjuring Alan!
Alan pretty much conjured me on this one. This is his local ride so we thought we had to do it at some point and now seemed like the perfect opportunity.
The fact that I got ill was bad luck but we still had a good trip.
Soooo... Alan looks like the Men in Black dudes! I think you guys should sing Harvest Moon by Neil Young! Perfect!!
I shall add it to the list, I would suggest Men In Black as well but no one needs to hear me and Alan rapping!
Cycled that route many times especially, it’s great for chilling :)
Yeah it doesn't throw too much at you that's challenging. Don't think I could have handled any massive climbs that day to be honest
Hope you´ll get well quick for a merry X-mas!
It was a short lived bug and I'm over it now. Merry Christmas to you too and looking forward to see you at new year
Yet another amazing commentary of an admittedly slightly less beautiful ride but it is, as always, about the company when you ride with friends. I did think that you two should have another channel after the first round of this ride called "The masons ride again", but I am now leaning towards "The Tufty Nubbins!". I am glad that you will be having a busy festive season and personally appreciate that there will be less to catch up with as we all dedicate more time to our friends and family at this time. To both of you and anyone else involved, enjoy your time away from editing and focus on yourselves. Thank you for all you have given to us followers.
Thank you. I hope that you have a wonderful and restful time away from my editing as well ;)
I jest but of course I am as always incredibly appreciative of all your support and kind words and I hope I can continue to hold your attention and earn more of that good stuff in 2024.
It should be a lot of fun hearing you and Alan sing, I'm looking forward to that!!😉 I think the songs you mentioned in the vid would all be really good choices, Unchained Melody, Stand by Me and especially Grease, You're the One That I Want! (Including black tights, was it...😉)
Since there are always music in my head, I've come up with a list of other very nice songs, many, though not all, are duets, but all of them could be sung together. Take your pick!
I Am a Man of Constant Sorrow.
Baby It's Cold Outside.
Islands In the Stream.
Rossini's Cat Duet.
I've Had the Time of My Life.
Something Stupid.
The Sound of Music.
Fernando, ABBA.
Yellow River.
Sloop John B.
Fiddler's Green.
That is quite a selection!
I'm going to compile a playlist of all the songs people have suggested and add it to my channel page.
I doubt me and Alan will ever get it together to actually record anything but you never know. I have half written a song that is loosely inspired by biking but it still needs a bit of work and I don't play my guitar as much as I'd like anymore sadly.
Good idea with the playlist. I'm very much looking forward to hearing that song you're writing, when it's ready, and to hearing you play your guitar!😉
@@Anna-Ess it will likely never see the light of day. I don't have time to write songs let alone record them.
I'd love to record a load of stuff to use in the background of my videos but it's just too time consuming alongside my other projects.
You never know though, I might get inspired one rainy day.
@@JethroJessop
🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🌧️🎶😉
you two singing a duet? sounds better than 'horror' to me. 😊 'bicycle race' (queen) is a good suggestion. can you ride and sing at the same time?
That was our initial thought as well. Alan can definitely sing whilst riding, he's always at it 😉
I want the two of you bunny-hopping your MTBs or BMXes in pace with the beats of "We will rock you" and then, towards the end, squealing the guitar riff with your misaligned brakes!
I could probably attempt a bunny hop. Then the rest of the video will be me getting physio to fix my knackered back ;)
What can I say, it’s not fun when you’re not feeling the best. You gave it a go so fair play. But an Airbnb, that’s what call super sensible. Good luck on the rest of the trail.
It did rather take the edge of proceedings but I soldiered on and we still had a good trip overall.
Has to be a cover of Rolf Harris's Two Little Boys
A controversial choice I'm sure. I lived that song when I was little
If I see you I will give you a ding ding with my bell then buy you coffee at Mumbles Pier 😅
That sounds good to me. Not sure when I'll be riding mumbles again but it will probably happen one day
Tufty Nubbinz!
Fighter ace and tenor sax genius 😉
@@JethroJessop”Papa, tell us again the heroic story of how Tufty single-handedly defeated Hitler!”
@@alanl1960 gather round children and I shall begin.
Twas a dark and stormy night...
@@JethroJessop”Papa, will I also be able to bench press 4000 kilograms like Tufty someday too…?!”
@@alanl1960 if you eat your greens and don't talk back to your elders and betters!
A brief moment of concern when you stopped at the ruin, a strange Elf like creature wearing a grey hood peeped from a hole in the Ivy covered masonry, but was obviously frightened off by a bloke gazing out to sea and talking to himself. 😄
Yeah I spotted that weird being as well. He seems to follow me around and just pop up now and then.
Seems pretty harmless though to be fair.
Might Want to rethink the duo bit… or how about bohemian rhapsody by queen… nice to see you rolled around my local coastline paths .. battled the headwinds many at time back from Margate. Happy travels.
We had the wind behind us for day 1 but as soon as we came around the headland we had it right in our faces.
I imagine it's probably character building or something 😉
I did this ride in Oct 2022 and had pretty much the same weather you had. The upside is all the stretches on this day were nice and quiet, I wouldn't want to do it in peak season
I thought the same. All those stretches along the sea front must get absolutely heaving in the summer. You'd be basically pushing the bike in places.
Definitely an off-season route in my opinion.
Sorry, I meant two famous TH-camrs 😅
Much more apt for the situation at hand :)
Why not cover "27 yards of dental floss"
Interesting suggestion. I shall add it to the list 😉
