Incredible coincidence, I greeted you at the door that day and I didn't even know it was you, I only found out in this video. When you come to our backyard, send a message, it will be a pleasure to accompany you here. The climb they made in the 4th minute of the video is exactly what I do every day to visit Serra da Arrábida. Have a good trip, friend.
I'm from the States, my parents integrated from Portugal in the late 60's. This club ride made me feel like I was home. Viva Portugal!!! Great job, man. looking forward to more!!
They're called "balls from Berlin" because Jewish/German families took refuge in Portugal during WWII and brought the recipe over with them. Beautiful ride! Haven't been able to make it back since COVID, but this really gets the itch going.
It's really great to see my area in your videos, the views are spectacular, it's a shame the fog, next time it will definitely be better. Be careful with Helder, he likes to give people some leg pains😜 Cheers Thomas💪
Man… what a place scenery looks absolutely insane. The roads look perfect. And the bike looks even better. All it’s done in Essex is rain so hardly any riding for us. 😫
So so lovely to see you smiling and on a ride with a group who seem like a great bunch. With a sense of humour! The new bike looks fab. Wishing you lots of continued good fortune. Wonderful 😊
Love the videos Thomas , I moved from Leicester to Australia 8 years ago with the wife and 3 daughters we are living the best life loads of cycling , the coldest I see is 7 degrees in the middle of winter but a hour into the ride it will be 15 degrees 👍🏻
Great to see you settling into life abroad, I moved to Amsterdam 6 years ago and best thing I ever did (apart from booking a return to Mallorca this summer 😉)
Amazing. Reminds me of this years summer bike holidays in Portugal. From Lisbon to Sesimbra. Slept there and next day up that road again (yeah, no more gears 😂) and then up Serra Arrabida down to Setubal Portugal Amo-te ♥️🇵🇹
Great to see you out with local riders, and even getting in some gravel! Maybe I missed it in an earlier video, but is there a particular reason why you chose this area, and Portugal, over say Spain and Girona, which seems to be super popular with cyclists? Many thanks for the great content.
Thomas, looks like you have fallen in with a good crowd. I look forward to you returning to Essex for the group ride in April May, when you are 5kgs lighter and a mountain goat.
1:39 A Berliner is any kind of filled/stuffed donut. So, like, jelly, bavarian creme, boston creme, chocolate/vanilla-filled, etc. "Ball from Berlin" hahaha
I bet your loving the Portuguese roads 😜 let me know when your wheels take you south to Algarve and I’ll take you on the Monchique maratona route 😜🚴♀️🚴♀️🚴♀️🇵🇹☀️☀️
Funny , saw your first video (in Mallorca ) and I'm sure we cross ways the day you did sa calobra, and now you are riding my childhood roads , ahaha I'll be there in 2 weeks so pretty sure we will cross paths again. If you want a run for content , every Saturday a huge and very fast group departs from Coina (4kms from Azeitão) group called TGV, grab their wheel , you will have fun 😊 Ride on!
Be aware that locals drives are not the best ones. Especially on the narrow mountain roads. Especially in Braga 😂 So be sure they would use your way on narrow roads. Stay safe! Come to Porto
Super cool! Ive just fall in love with cycling (September this year) and slowly starting my TH-cam! BTW, Im in south Portugal/west Algarve. If you ever around let me know,I would love to ride together and show you best routes around here! Great channel !
Can I ask, and I’m not sure if you covered it already, but what made you choose Portugal and particularly where you are? I’m currently looking to emigrate, probably to Spain. Feels like such a huge leap into the unknown.
I lived in Lisbon for the last 6 months, would not recommend living close to the city center if you enjoy cycling - the traffic is horrible for at least 25k in every direction
Just do it, I left the U.K. 5years ago hardest thing to do is start new social circles. Especially if your over 35 a lot for couples are parents by then. But do ask yourself do want carry on with your current set up or do you want change ? ☀️☀️☀️🇪🇺👊👍
That’s not completely right to be honest. There‘s a million regional variants for the names. Discussions about the „real name“ are on the level of „rim brakes vs. disc brakes“ 😂
I don’t know Thomas. I reckon you’ve made a mistake. Essex looked way better on video 🤣
🤣🤣🤣 I must admit… I’m not missing it!
@@TheCyclingTattooistI can tell you now - it hasn’t stopped raining/snowing since you moved to Portugal… enjoy!
Look for a ride in Montejunto! Another checkpoint you have to see!

The best thing about Portugal for me, you get great espresso anywhere and the cakes...

Viva Portugal!!! Great job, man. looking forward to more!!
😁🙏🙏🙌
Fantastic stuff Thomas. Glad to see you back on the road with some new mates. They seem cool!
So pleased you've found a great bunch of guys to cycle with!! Here's to many miles & smiles!
They're called "balls from Berlin" because Jewish/German families took refuge in Portugal during WWII and brought the recipe over with them. Beautiful ride! Haven't been able to make it back since COVID, but this really gets the itch going.
Nice to see you settling into life in Portugal and that you have found some cycling buddies 🙌🙌
Really enjoyed this one Thomas, glad to see things are on the up for you!
thanks Thomas...looks like fun! Exciting to make the move to a new place and meet new friends
What a decision you made to move there. Stunning.
It's really great to see my area in your videos, the views are spectacular, it's a shame the fog, next time it will definitely be better. Be careful with Helder, he likes to give people some leg pains😜 Cheers Thomas💪
Obrigado Thomas...very cool places. It's good to see you and yours are all recovered . I know a Helder too , dude's a legend .
Yeah great group of guys… really had good luck finding them! 😁🙏

What a beautiful new home, and look at that weather this time of the year you deserve it ❤

Man… what a place scenery looks absolutely insane. The roads look perfect. And the bike looks even better. All it’s done in Essex is rain so hardly any riding for us. 😫
Enjoyed this video, look forward to more Portugal rides and videos of your new home.

Gotta say mate, i love this channel. It kind of reminds me of Cycling Mavens channel in the early days when he just used to go out having fun.
Portugal looks amazing! Great video. I can't wait to see the next one...
Is always nice to see an English guy with a bunch of Portuguese guy’s!!❤️😄you welcome!! Enjoy the weather 🇵🇹🇬🇧🤗

Portugal Amo-te ♥️🇵🇹
That was a great and fun morning riding bikes with old and new friends! I'm sure we'll have plenty more in the future. Cheers! ✌
Thomas loved the video. What a great ride and a great bunch of lads. Looking forward to many more.
what a beautiful place! 👍 so envious! 😁 brrr!! chilly and wet here in blighty!
I'm up for any group ride where I get offered a 'cup of tea and a biscuit'. Love your new ride buddies!
When I go back home I always make sure to ride some Arrábida
Great to see you out with local riders, and even getting in some gravel! Maybe I missed it in an earlier video, but is there a particular reason why you chose this area, and Portugal, over say Spain and Girona, which seems to be super popular with cyclists? Many thanks for the great content.
I love your new bike! Very nice in black!

Enjoy , looks fantastic , it's like when we moved to Sicily
Living the Dream!!
i'm really glad you're liking Portugal! I hope to see more of your rides in the future
Living the dream after your shaky start glad it’s working out for you , currently 0 degrees where I am in the uk ,
Nice to see you finally get on the bike without any problems there.
I'm glad your settling in. The ride looked tough but fun. Does make you jealous looking at the weather and I'm looking out at snow.
So beautiful. Amazing views for the vids!
Keep up the hard work!
Thomas, looks like you have fallen in with a good crowd. I look forward to you returning to Essex for the group ride in April May, when you are 5kgs lighter and a mountain goat.
NIce man, good workout for the new ride!!

Ride on!
Nice ride and the things are getting on the right track nice for you 😊
What an epic first ride crew! 🖤
Opened the curtains, its minus 3 with a dusting of snow and misty. Maybe a long winter
Livin' the dream dude... how are those proper hills treating you?
Yes, that's what I told you in previous videos. Hope you enjoyed!👌
Was amazing! 😁🙏
Living the dream m8
Portugal is definatelly on my list. Which areas are best for cycling?
How's your Portuguese going mate. Love your videos ♥️🏴
Love you videos mate, someone told me in Portugal if cars don’t give you 1.5m there get 12 month bans
In theory yes in reality no sadly
Was watching the start and when the other two where in front plotting how to drop this English man…..and then you said there’s a breakaway 😂😂
Having been out yesterday in -4….I’m seriously debating moving abroad 😂
Be aware that locals drives are not the best ones. Especially on the narrow mountain roads. Especially in Braga 😂
So be sure they would use your way on narrow roads. Stay safe!
Come to Porto
Cup of tea and a biscuit 😂😂😂😂
Super cool!
Ive just fall in love with cycling (September this year) and slowly starting my TH-cam!
BTW, Im in south Portugal/west Algarve.
If you ever around let me know,I would love to ride together and show you best routes around here!
Great channel !
That looks like absolutely horribly terribly fun😂😂😂😂😂
I might move just for the coffee stop

cup of tea and a bisquit LMAO
in german a doughnut is called a BERLINER ,so maybe theres a connection 😂
Pineapple on your Pizza… come on mate.
I know it’s wrong… but I just can’t help it! I love it… 🤣🙈
Yeah!
Looks like a nice crew! Next time they might like to introduce themselves and talk about their winter routine?! Enjoy your new playground!
I’m sure you’ll be seeing more of these guys… 😁👍
Do you regret getting rid of your red bike
It’s segregated to my turbo trainer now… 🤣👍
@@TheCyclingTattooist love the content man thanks for the reply would love to come cycling with ya one day 😁
Ball from Berlin 😂 a berliner is a donut in Deutsch
Pineapple on a pizza!!! Nooooooo. Nice vid
The phrase is, you could see the sea if you could see it 😂
The balls from Berlin are called anywhere in Germany "Berliner". In Berlin they are just called pancakes.
