PSA : Guy Martin and Terrahawk on a TV near you!

http://www.channel4.com/programmes/speed-with-guy-martin/episode-guide

Tandems, carbon fibre, adverse weather conditions, performance cookery and wee.

Frikkin’ awesome!

Edit:

Guy also learns about the science of cooking for athletes with the Head of Nutrition at Team Sky, Nigel Mitchell, who instructs Guy to lose five kilos of weight and recommends a new diet regime.

Really? Mr Martin always looks pretty buff when I’ve seen him.

Edit 2:

Yay! I still couldn’t see a time for it.
Where/when? Not that I have a telly…

A week on Sunday I think. I could however be wrong.

Sounds good.
🙂

Could be the start of a whole new career for Jase.
Has anyone been cast in that Nobby Stiles biopic yet?

Nobby : The Musical?

Ta f’t ed’s up Chief. 😆

Nobby : The Musical?

Doom Bar Doom Bar where are you
I like Doom Bar with a meaty Stew
Riding around up Vigo Hill attempting to be quick
Instead mistaking the profile and ending up sick

The dog drags me into the pub again at least thats my excuse
But really its pleasant being a person of limited use
Until the time comes to lend a hand at putting up a tent
Nobby Nobby please don’t move to Stoke on Trent!

I’m so excited that I could quite literally explode.

this has taken all year and hopefully the amount of fun we both had making this programme will be conveyed. It really has been the best thing I’ve ever done.

Squeezing in to a bath on wheels with a man from Lincolnshire?

Oh I hope so.

Sunday nights recently have been crying out for wheeled bathtub shenanigans.

yes. Every minute of the 10 or so days we spent filming and pissing about has been utterly MINT.

Are you on the great man’s Christmas card list now then ? 🙂

Can I have your autograph, please, mister?

Should get good viewing figures.
Let’s face it, there’s been nothing to please that demographic since Last Of The Summer Wine was cancelled.

EDIT-
Bugger, beaten by a policeman.
I’ll speak to my brief.

It’ll be Strictly next, mark my words…

😀

beaten by a policeman

I never bloody touched you!!

I never bloody touched you!!

I will say he fell down a flight of stairs for a tenner, and Terrahawk’s signature.

Can I have my laces back please?

It really has been the best thing I’ve ever done.

Better than organising Hit the North? – Oh o.k then 🙂

Really looking forward to seeing this and I’m a girl.

Have you warned the landlord at The Church that he can expect Monday Night Pub Rides to draw some extra attention from now on?

@terrahawk Suddenly all that ‘great fun that you couldnt speak about’ and recumbent cycling in Wigan all makes sense!

I’m currently reading his autobiography – any chance that you could get him to sign it? Its the kindle version so i can just email it over… 😀

Where do we buy the Terrahawk t-shirts?

now there’s an idea. t shirts covered in all my favourite swear words.

Considering terrahawk wupped his arse at Strathpuffer, he must be a little embarrassed to call it ‘Speed with Guy Martin’!

Mind you ‘Speed with Terrahawk’ conjures up some odd mental images!

Maybe ‘Terrahawk on Speed’ would have been a better title…

Maybe ‘Terrahawk on Speed’ would have been a better title…

they would have had to have filmed me 26 or so years ago for that.

Careful. You’re a celeb now, the press will be all over that statement.

material for my memoirs.

FFS Kryton, that’s absolute shite.

(What tune is it to?). 🙂

1 hour warning bump

Waiting with Sunday dinner scented baited breath….

He seems like a good bloke, but for the previous records I couldn’t help but think that if there’d been even some attempt to find a decent club cyclist (at least for the HPA and bike speed efforts) then they’d likely have fared better. That said, I guess it’s really just about television, not some outright attempt for the best possible record, and he does make good TV.

Recumbents!

Now there’s a man who’s learnt everything he knows from waiting at the top of every hil for a bunch of northern fat nackers who just want to get to the pub 🙂

“Sun’s out. Gun’s out”

Oh dear!!!

What were you thinking??!!

I’m spent after seeing them both hot and sweaty in a towel

*fwaps*

So this sports nutritionist guy’s trying to tell them the ideal recovery food isn’t cheese on toast?

Yeah, like…. Whateveeeeeeer

Recumbents!

I used to race recumbents and know both Mike Burrows and Miles Kingsbury. To cut a long story short, recumbents are faster. An unfaired one will give you a small gain over a normal bike, say 3 to 4 mph. Smoothing out the airflow behind gives a decent gain, you’re now 10 mph faster. Bolt on a nose cone for another 5 mph. The real slick streamliners are fast as f@ck. At the World Champs in 96 on a 30k time trial I was doing a steady 28 mph on my unfaired bike, the top riders on full streamliners were cruising over 60.

…and he seem’s to have forgotten about the cafe/pub stop!

3 Northern monkeys trying to pronounce quinoa 😆

I can only hope that there was an award winning pork pie in that musette
