Hi everyone. I hope you're all doing well. Some of you may be aware that I was planning on riding at the Team Continue charity bike ride this coming weekend (Saturday,19th). Sadly, I won't be able to make it this year. I sincerely apologise for the short notice, but things are such that I need to be close to home in the UK. To anyone who has signed up, I'm very sorry that we won't meet this time, and I hope you have a fantastic time this Saturday. Of course John will be there, and I know he'll be glad to see you. He's way more interesting than me anyway.
If you want to learn more about this event, and the good work carried out by Team Continue, check out the link below:

Cheers

Hi All
I visited a fellow YouTuber, Graham Foot last week. He helped me build my new wheels for the Kona. If you're interested, here's a link to Graham's video where you can see how I got on. Thankfully, Graham is a very patient guy! Check out his channel while you're there. Cheers 🍻🍻

We are turning on channel memberships
Hello, just a quick note to let you know we’re turning on channel memberships, with one tier at £1.99/month.
Here's a link of you're interested:
youtube.com/channel/UC7yMDmo2eoCQgY7kxUjCkVQ/join
First off, nothing is changing with the regular videos. They’ll still be coming out as normal, free to watch, and just as they’ve always been.
The reason we’re adding memberships is that when I’m away on trips, I send Ross (who edits the videos) a lot of footage. To keep the regular videos a good length for most people Ross often has to leave a lot out.
So, we’ve decided to start releasing extended versions of some episodes for members. These will come out around the same time as the standard videos and will include more of the riding, chat, and bits of the trip that get cut for time.
We won’t be doing extended versions for every video — just the ones where there’s a lot of extra footage — but we figured this was a nice way to share more with those who are interested, while also helping support the channel a little.
As always, a big thank you to everyone who watches, likes, comments, subscribes, or shares the videos. And an extra thank you to anyone who decides to support us through the new memberships — it really does make a big difference.
Thanks,
Mat and Ross.

Hi All. As most of you know, I'm back in the UK having completed my ride across America. The final video is slightly delayed as it's a bit of a bumper episode of the full run from Washington DC to New York. It should hopefully be out over the weekend, or early next week at the latest. I hope you're all doing well. Cheers.

Hi All
The Trans Am is going well so far. The first video should be out soon. In the meantime, take a look at a recent podcast I took part in with Gotrailmark.

Hi Everyone. I hope you're all doing well. I fly out to Portland, Oregon on 22nd July and need to decide on the route I'll take on my TransAm ride across the US. I was pretty set on following the classic ACA route, but have been directed towards the Bike nonstop route, a lower traffic route which utilises more cycle routes. I'm hoping for some advice, thoughts on which way to go. Let me know below if you have an opinion. Cheers, Mat.
