- Starting at Sunrise in Minster On Sea the 200+ mile route bi-sects south London, bridging the Thames onto Wiggin’s Olympic time trial route, before seeking green country lanes, quaint villages, the lush Vale of Pewsey, climbing the Mendip hills, descending breathtaking Cheddar gorge, finally arriving on the seafront at Weston-Super-Mare.

📖 ABOUT ME
This channel combines my two passions, cycling and photography/videography. I have been riding for 5+ years, but inspired by my son who completes nationally in triathlon I have decided to do some cycle racing.
As well as racing cyclocross I plan to race MTB and some local crits. In 2016 I was diagnosed with Coeliac’s Disease, I am also lactose intolerant. This does present some issues when trying to fuel my longer rides as not all stops have gluten free options.

How fucking cool is this kid? What a positive, supportive and upbeat young man. He’s a credit to you.
Thanks, he's pretty special.
Totally agree
Great achievement and great video. 👍👍 Going to watch your other videos especially the training you did as I’m down to do this next year 😱
I have another couple I will be putting up this month about nutrition and training for the event. You will enjoy the event I'm sure.
Great video :). Your son did you proud! I'm looking at doing this event next year but no ida how to approach it....will watch your other videos for tips and training. Massive well done on such a fast time over such a long distance...very inspirational :)
I still have some extra video to edit on preparing for this events and my thoughts or what I would do differently. Probably get those done over Christmas so keep a look out for them.
@ those would be really useful so look forward to seeing those when they are done. Well done again :)
Really enjoyed watching that. Well done and great family support
Glad you enjoyed it
Chapeau from a fellow coeliac cyclist. Keep the faith 😄
Thanks Andrew
Great ride and video! I saw your bike prep video which convinced me to get a hydration pack. Worked out really well. I did the ride the year before as well and ran short of water so this was a great improvement. Thanks
Glad that helped, I definitely couldn't have done without mine for the first half. Hope you enjoyed your ride.
I followed you for a bit after Devizes....sorry I wasn't fast enough to pull you guys....I was still tired from catching you up ! [Yeovil Boy]😉
We saw you make a wrong turn and then realised you have caught on to us. Was totally happy for you to just sit on, I was letting Ben do all the pulling then anyhow. Hope you enjoyed the ride, big effort for someone new to cycling.
@@TheCoeliacCyclist Yup - my Garmin was playing up all day !
I have only been cycling for a year - the pace was v good....too much for me in the end though.
@@blaze1148 the pace got worse as I decided I wanted to make 7p,m so Ben pushed it up to 23mph which after 195 miles was a bit tough but made it by 7pm.
@@TheCoeliacCyclist Nice ! - 7pm is a great time - that speed was too hot for me....I got in about 7.25pm which i'm pleased with since I set a target time of 8.30pm.
Next year Ben needs to do the whole 205 with you....I will do it again next year to try to beat the time this year 😉
Well done 👏🏼 fantastic effort💪🏼🚴♂️💨 I rode CTS North this year so south may be on next years agenda 👀 😅
Thank Michael, well done on completing the North. I would like to give that one ago I think. Not sure about next year as also have other rides I want to do and it take a lot of commitment in training and not sure if my support crew are ready to do another one.
Now going out for my first ride since CTS as I'm now ready to sit on the saddle again.
Well done mate, great effort to finish at 7. Think I was about 7.15. Cheers for the shout out! 😉👍 7:49 8:53
Thanks Rod, good to ride with you for a bit, that headwind was tough after the half way stop.
Well done. and good time. Tough day with that headwind!
Thanks Stuart, definitely a tough wind and then the next day it was only 5mph, typical! Still it was the same for everyone and no two years will ever be the same.
@@TheCoeliacCyclist 100% true
Fantastic effort, been following CTS for a few years but never taken the plunge. Family support was great for you 👏🏻
Thanks Stuart, having a support crew made it a lot easier. Even more helpful when Ben rode the last 50 miles with me.
Definitely recommend you give it ago it was a great experience. Also after doing it I feel like nothing is beyond me now.
Wow great ride and well done
Keep thinking if this would be something I'd be able to do
You can do it! Anyone can complete this with the right training and attitude. I was pretty apprehensive on the day about how I would do and how it would go. I didn't need to worry.
Machine 👏🏼 well done great effort
Thanks 👍 Looking for my next challenge now!
I did this cts, my friend got hit by a van in rochester and we lost 2 hours there(he ended up in hospital).
My other friend also had agg with a tubeless tire.
So we lost around 4 hrs total kn the ride.
Ride time was 12hrs total was 16😂😂..
My friends ok, hopefully home from.hospital tomorrow 🤞🤞
So glad to hear your friend is ok, I did see a post on the Facebook page about that. It is easy to loose time during the event if you have any issues. Thankfully not too many as serious as your friends.
I think my ride time would have been quicker if I had taken longer to do the event. I would have got more rest and spent more time in groups. My aim was to see how early I could finish so I'm happy with that.
Chasing the time while being Chased by sun 😂
If only there wasn't a headwind all day.
I've only just found your channel, great stuff! Out of interest are you from Suffolk? Your accent reminds me of Suffolk
@@azraelgm yes Suffolk born and still live there. Thanks for watching my video’s
Great job mate.
Thanks mate.
