- A big 130 km ride to kickstart 2019. Join myself, Aidan and Iain, as we cycle around the beautiful Sunshine Coast / Noosa area to kick-start 2019 the right way! We ride our bikes through Peregian Springs, Cooroy, Ponoma, Boreen Point and wrap up for a coffee in Noosa. I also pose the question - does anyone know the best way to manage a thick Scottish accent while riding side by side with someone?

I am officially envious now. What a great scenery and a nice group.
Great video. Love riding around Noosa. Coffee at Zabe's in Tewantin is good too! Not to mention Costa's in Sunshine Beach, Little Cove in Noosa.....etc. etc. 😉😉
Thank you sir! Yes been to those spots too. There's great coffee on selection around town! Cam
Always very nice to ride with your buddies. Nonsense is the communication. Always. Because it forces guys to violate the SINGLE FILE riding rule and possibly obstruct traffic - giving cyclists their deserved BAD name.
So, if anyone has the genius for it, there a HUGE, HUGE market waiting for a comms device that's light, portable, hands-free, voice activated AND controlled that allows cyclists to talk whilst riding single file even up to 1km apart.
Looks like a very nice part of the world there mate and your riding stats @9:34 shows how fit you are. Thanks for sharing. Great stuff!
Interesting Kevin, thanks for sharing. And appreciate the kind words. Cam
Hi Cam,
I’m considering coming up to Noosa for a few weeks of riding in August to escape the Melbourne winter. Is there enough riding to keep me interested for that long?
Cheers
easy watching vids Cam keep em coming mate
Cameron Parrett thanks Cameron, appreciate it 👍
Happy New Year Cam.....eating porridge helps with understanding the accent better...hope you are loving Noosa, what a place to live...Noosa coffee parkup rating Vlog an absolute must!
Thanks mate, good idea! I like it a lot. Cam
Great video! loving the bikes
Thanks Benny, much appreciated. Cam
Healthy, Happy, Safe Riding, Successful and Peaceful New Year in your new base. From USA
Thank you! Likewise. Cam
Happy new year from Canada! Cool video, keep them coming mate!
Thanks Michael, and likewise. Cam
To understand the Scots you must drink first!
Matt Tyler haha! Not sure I should be doing that before riding 🤔
@@CamNicholls probably not a good idea, but Robin Williams said it once and it made sense to me!
The other option is don't talk to him. lol
im sure Iron-Bru is the antidote here
This elevator music is fireeee 🔥 🔥 🔥 lol. Awesome content brother!! Keep up the great work!!
Everyone loves a bit of Kenny G, don't they! Thanks man, appreciate it. Cam
Huru or Tere or Rere? Which one for all around bike? Flats/Hills
Happy new year Cam.
Thanks David, same to you. Cam
Cam, he might be thinking the same about you mate. Good ridding thats what counts.
haha, I wouldn't be surprised. When I lived in the UK I used to get a lot of stick about my strong Aussie accent. It's all a bit of a laugh, and agree with you! Cam
Looks like a blast. I had a good laugh at the Scottish jokes 😀
I’m new to cycling. I’m hoping to buy a road bike by this year. I’m just rocking my hybrid bike and learned using clip-less pedals last year. I keep watching your vids and learning a lot. Keep them coming.
Nice one Ralph, keep up the progress! Look forward to hearing about some of your experiences when you get your roadie. Cam
Hey Cam do you post your rides on strava? We travel to Noosa annually and be keen to see this ride route..
Hey Michael, I am not a big Strava user but I do post my rides from Wahoo. See here: www.strava.com/activities/2051893867

You rode 130km with only 1 bottle? how often do you have to stop for top ups? don't you find that annoying?
I stopped at 110km for breakie. I drink a lot before leaving but I do need to add another cage to the CHAPTER2! Cam
Cant beat those beach views!! I like the look of the Giants -seems a good total package for the price incl. Power meter.
trevour mcgoon I agree with this, what about a little video on your thoughts from that ride Cam?
nice video made me wanna go for a ride
haha, glad to hear Gil. Cam
Definitely need to find me a Scottish 🏴 riding partner... saying that I’m Welsh 🏴 (I’ll be there now in a minute) very interesting conversations!!! Great video keep them coming and safe riding 2019 🚴♂️💪
haha, thanks Tim. Appreciate it. Cam
"Got an aero cap on it!" hahaha
Happy new year to you and yours fella
Thanks Ian. Likewise. Cam
Hey Cam, I notice you use the standard Element over the Bolt. Can you explain your reasons or opinions? Thanks! Keep up the good work!
Clint Honeycutt thanks Clint, appreciate it. I bought the Element before the Bolt existed! That was the reason. I believe he map feature is a fair bit better on the Element, but I’d probably take the Bolt if I had both options. I moved away from Garmin because I was over software bugs. The Element is reliable and honest. I love it! Cam
Cracking video mate!
Thank you mate. Cam
Specific product to reduce wind noise on the bike: www.cat-ears.com/ (Have not tried them myself)
Right! Interesting. Cam
I have be lived in Perth for two years and never think about could ride the bike in
Australia . I should go ~
Definitely Ian, Perth is awesome too! Cam
Loved it here is a sub!
Thank you sir, much appreciated. Cam
Most highway traffic acts state that you should ride single file. Otherwise you are blocking traffic.
Cam - can you tell us about the cycling events that would be worth travelling to the area for
I'll need to investigate with the locals on that one Clifford. I know there are a few rides but unsure what is the best to target. Give me a few days. Cam
Cool vid! Thks for sharing
Thanks Malden, Cam
I’m Scottish, that’s hilarious mate.
Noisy cycling. I used to have a non-aero helmet, wind noise basically cancelled out all but a Harley coming up behind me. Went to a Kask Protone and all good, hearing restored. Top tip, aero helmet for better all around hearing while riding.
Good tip John, thanks for sharing. Cam
Nice video Cam, just remember you have an accent too, to everyone in the northern hemisphere.
Good point Donal! I've been told mine is rather strong too. Cam
Roads look good up there.
How's the Chapter?
Hey Dan, yes the roads are awesome. Not much shoulder in the road at times but if you leave early enough there are not many cars to contend with. The chapter is going really well. Surprised at the comfort for an aero bike. Also good to be riding it without the Zipp 808's dominating the show. Cam
You'll have to see if they still do the 'Coffee Grind' leaving Mooloolaba on Saturday morn. It can be a little like the Hell Ride, just depends on who turns up.
Hey Karl, I've heard about that ride. Definitely going to check it out in due course. Cam
@@CamNicholls I can confirm it still happens although the route has modified slightly to be more safe by avoiding Kings Beach at Caloundra. Always quick once you arrive at Caloundra Rd and very quick if some hitters are there.
V.nice sir
Thanks Ramesh. Cam
Better roads than here in Adelaide looks great!
Adelaide is bloody good though! Cam
@@CamNicholls the routes are good just they really need resealing with the newer finer bitumen. Around the metri area a lot of resealing going on. Norton summut would be fanrastuv wuth a reseal and widening in parts. Mire climbs here than the sunshine Coast but those surfaces look very fresh.
glenny oc yes they are fresh. Very little pothole about.
Good video. Nice roads and great scenery. The only problem I see is that y’all ride on the wrong side of the road!😂
haha, thanks Mark. Cam
Great Vid Cam and yes he is a Cracking Human !
Thanks Fatty. Cam
Cam - his Scottish accent isn't too bad - you've just got to focus your ear on the middle of each of his words and you'll get it - patience and practice mate 😂😂😂
That is a great tip Mike. Thanks for sharing that one. Let's see how it goes. Cam
2 double scotches and you'll hear him clear as a bell :)
hahaha! I might fall off the bike before we get started though Ken!? Cam
@@CamNicholls Practice! :)
Nice video. You should ride with Jan Frodeno
Thanks, Felix. He lives in Noosa, does he? Cam
He usually does arround this time of year but he is still in Girona at the momment
I'm a yorkshire man in the US. Nobody understands me!
haha, thanks for sharing Ben. Cam
Watch a few episodes of Rab C Nesbit in order to learn the Scottish accent 😊
haha, Ok, good call Mark. Cam
4:30 is ride time in Brisvegas
BlueRaiin ☆ #1 Gaming - CSGO & more ☆ Brissie please not Brisvegas. We are Australian not USA.
@@michaelflanagan8265 I've known it as Brisvegas for over 30 years. A lot of my mates called it that while we were growing up there as a piss-take for being more of a large town than a city.
Good you’re been in Brisbane for 30 years, but I’ve been in Brisbane over 60 years and it has always affectionately known as Brissie. Not sarcastically known as Brisvegas.
@@michaelflanagan8265 Calm down Sunshine and get a life.
I am not your sunshine and I have a pretty nice comfortable retirement. You clearly have no idea about Brisbane history. Google “ battle of Brisbane “ and you might get a idea of why americanising Brisbane is an afront to Brisbanites. I should know my Aunty was molested by US soldiers. I am sure you have heard the saying about US soldiers in Australia. Over paid, oversexed and over here. That saying came from the battle of Brisbane where the Australian diggers belted crap out of drunken US soldiers.
ask him to spk slower or get him to do a irish accent and i bet it comes out english lol or do option 2
haha, ok I'll see if Iain will comply with the Irish scenario - LOL. Cam
lose the shit sax solo and we good!
Richard M haha! Don’t like Kenny G? Yeah, I think I got this one wrong. You’re the second to mention. Cam
