This was my first bike ride of the week after returning from Devon where I completed the Devon Coast to Coast bike ride on the National Cycle Route 27.
I will be publishing posts about that ride here, but you can hear about some of my experiences on this Vlog.
If you enjoyed listening to this Vlog, please share it in social media.
Thank you for your time!
Published Friday, but recorded Thursday, as usual, just before lunch time. Just didn’t have time to do the editing last night.
There won’t be a Bike Vlog next week as I’ll be travelling to Devon. If everything goes well, I’ll resume them after Easter.
Wish you and your family a Happy and Peaceful Easter time.
I was as sick as a dog this week, but I didn’t want to let it end like that. It could give the impression I don’t care and I do. So I hope you appreciate the effort and be kind in your judgement. Learning as I go… 🙂
The full EOS Video is here. To the content owners of the video, if you are not happy with me sharing it this way, please let me know and I’ll be happy to remove it from this Vlog. I am hoping you won’t mind though 🙂
Even though I record these on Thursdays, by the time I published them in YouTube is already Friday, so perhaps I should start calling them the Friday Bike Vlogs 🙂
In this Vlog…
Thanks for watching and if you like it, please hit the thumbs up button in YouTube as well as share and like in Facebook and other social media services.
‘Til next week… if it doesn’t rain 🙂
Although this Vlog was recorded Thursday morning as I was putting it together in the evening my video editing software decided to keep crashing (I suspect it was the sync between the 2 cameras that for some reason was causing a problem this time). That made me waste a lot of precious time, hence the Vlog has only been uploaded in the early hours of Friday. Being a Vlogger is harder than I thought 🙂

Thanks!
Another Vlog today, a bit longer than usual as I again didn’t get to do the spinning class and decided to ride a bit more outside (as I did last week)
The link to the Rise of the Superstar Vloggers is below, but if you live outside of the UK it is likely you will not be able to watch it as the BBC is maintained by TV license payers.
Link to the show in the BBC iPlayer.
There is also a copy of it in YouTube, but I don’t know if it will be “watchable” everywhere or how long its going to be available.
Today is Thursday… the day I ride my bike to the office for the Spinning class in the company’s gym and also Vlog day.
Today is also a special day as it is my birthday.
I go to Spinning classes in the company’s Gym once or twice a week.
As I work from home, I usually ride to the office as a warm up exercise. It takes me between 15 and 20 min to get there, so I thought it would be a good opportunity to talk to you.
If you ever have any question for me or want to know something about me, please send me an email through the contact form here in the blog or message me + leave comments on Facebook, YouTube, Twitter, Google+… well, suffice to say, there are a number of ways to get in touch. I will answer these questions or reply to your comments in my next Bike Vlog.
… and then the next one I recorded on my way back home.
Comments always welcome and please rate this post using the stars below.
Thanks for watching!
Decided to try something new… This is my first, and possibly last, attempt to create something people have called a “Bike VLog“. I´ve been watching a few over the past weeks. They are generally edited “best moments” of someone riding a bicycle to work or for pleasure.
My choice was to record my ride to Windsor yesterday, something I do quite often. I thought of recording this ride especially for the people who don´t live in the UK, as Windsor Castle is a major tourist destination here.
The problem is that it took me more than 1 hour to get there (I usually to do it in 40 to 45 min) and I don´t have the time (nor the will) to spend hours editing it. If you ever wanted to know how it is to ride in England, this long video might offer some insights.
In all Bike VLogs I´ve seen the riders usually narrate the ride and talk about their day and their lives. They share a bit of their lives with the audience and it is kind of interesting. So this is what I tried to do… keep talking. That is not a problem for me (I am a big talker), but as I ride alone most of the time, this was quite unusual. Not sure how interesting it will be for you to listen to my “bla bla bla” for 1h, but I am not here to judge myself. I am sure there will be plenty of people out there doing this for me already. Please be kind, I am taking myself out of my comfort zone here.
OK, let´s get on with this then… I recorded the ride from the South Hill Park, a landmark of Bracknell to Windsor Castle, a landmark of Windsor. I also recorded a little 10 min walk I did around the Windsor Town Centre for those that might be interested of knowing a bit about this tourist destination and then a recorded my way back to Bracknell, which was even longer as I amazingly managed to get lost a few times. Not used to do all this talking while riding and I got distracted and missed a few turns.
This was the route I took… I was not in a hurry and there are faster routes to Windsor.
Ten minutes walk pushing my bike around the pedestrian zone of Windsor.
This was the way back from Windsor to Bracknell, via Legoland. Got distracted with all the talking and missed a few turns which took me to some places in town I wasn´t very familiar with, but I was happy for the mistakes as it gave me the opportunity to explore a bit.
