0:06
it is morning this is morning hair and
0:10
and today's mission is about biscuits
0:13
amanda has made me some my favorite
0:17
and i'm gonna see how far i have to ride
0:19
to be able to eat them
0:21
each apparently contain 305 calories
0:25
i have no idea about calories i don't
0:28
305 calories is an hour's riding
0:32
or three hours riding i don't count
0:35
calories then that might be why my
0:36
trousers are elasticated
0:38
so we're gonna head out there and and
0:42
how far i can ride and and how many
0:53
see if we can get going not walking
0:59
not hiking difference between walking
1:01
and hiking not downhill skiing either
1:03
i'm going to say that i'm doing other
1:06
does have a mountain bike auction and it
1:10
has a cycling option and a road biking
1:11
option but it doesn't have
1:13
e-biking so let's see
1:18
what happens here we go
1:22
so my biscuit mission is being
1:27
on the new grand canyon on
1:30
which is an ally hardtail with the new
1:34
motor and i've got the
1:37
grand canyon on nine which is the top of
1:41
fox 34 fork on the front
1:45
and shimano dior brakes
1:51
i'm going to start here with this climb
2:00
and i think i'll engage the sail mode
2:10
can i clean this climb
2:21
i think we'll top this way
2:33
tucked down here behind this wall
2:36
is to get out the wind because i can
2:44
and i thought it was too early for
2:46
skylocks i mean a couple of days ago
2:49
10 foot snow drifts everywhere and it
2:51
has warmed up a lot but
2:54
i didn't think there would be skylarks
2:56
yet and for me skylux is
2:58
like that's a summer thing it's spring
3:00
and the weather's getting nice so
3:04
that's a happy sound and that's good
3:06
because i was just starting to feel a
3:08
i've basically gone down some muddy
3:11
tracks to nowhere and i i just felt like
3:13
i was in one of those areas it's just a
3:16
i kind of didn't feel like i'm making
3:17
much progress like i've been riding for
3:22
but i don't feel like i've probably
3:24
burned enough calories for a biscuit yet
3:28
so the sun has come out so i'm gonna
3:31
back to away from the
3:34
farmland stuff and over to the moors
3:36
where i know the trails a bit more
3:38
and i know i can put some effort in and
3:42
and hopefully earn that biscuit
3:48
hate them foil balloons
3:57
because i'm outside the pub
4:01
and uh okay it's possibly a little early
4:04
in the day for the pub but anyway the
4:07
so i'm feeling quite peckish even though
4:09
it's not even lunch time
4:11
uh i'm thinking that maybe i've earned
4:14
but if i check my watch
4:18
and it tells me i've earned a biscuit
4:19
then i'll eat it i'll ride down the hill
4:23
um so i think i should get up another
4:26
so that if i run the biscuit out there
4:30
like bit more riding to be done so this
4:33
long and fairly boring climb
4:36
that i'm really grateful
4:40
to have an e-bike for
4:48
now i'm definitely hungry
4:51
i've got a nice little seat out of the
4:54
there's a little bit of blue sky up
4:56
there so i'm gonna see
4:59
how many calories i've managed to burn
5:02
in an hour and three quarters nearly
5:11
today here we go how demanding was my
5:17
i think that was pretty easy how do i
5:20
feel at the moment i think i feel
5:28
627 calories haven't two biscuits i've
5:32
only brought one biscuit
5:33
biscuit empire biscuit
5:37
look at that for those who aren't in the
5:41
an empire biscuit is like two bits of
5:45
with jam in the middle icing on the top
5:48
traditionally a cherry but amanda didn't
5:59
i have eaten the biscuit i'm refueled
6:02
i've already ridden enough to earn
6:05
another one when i get home and now that
6:08
i'm i'm feeling much happier i've even
6:11
some of my favorite lichen i have no
6:14
idea what it's called but look it's like
6:16
red bits of coral or something
6:20
right so home the fun way
6:24
is up here over there down the other
6:32
to the top of this climb is my favorite
6:41
and then there's probably going to be
6:46
a few hundred meters of swamp
6:49
and then what's called the penny sets
6:53
which is a long pack horse percent
6:56
and i'm really hoping that it hasn't got
7:03
favorite gate latch see how it all just
7:08
fits there worn away it's lovely
7:55
some exercise for you
7:59
so i've done a couple of hours of riding
8:02
um and this side of the hill is a lot
8:05
colder there's still the remnants of
8:08
and i'm feeling a bit chilled so
8:12
i've still got four bars of power left
8:15
which is plenty to go and do loads more
8:19
at the moment i'm thinking i'm gonna get
8:22
thicker winter gloves out of my bag and
8:26
in the direction of home and biscuits
8:46
so i'm really pleased with that i did an
8:50
45 minutes and had earned
8:54
two biscuits worth of calories more than
8:57
calories and then i did another 45
9:02
and that earned me nearly another 300
9:05
that's a whole biscuit again so i'm
9:08
really surprised that
9:09
in such a short space of time i can
9:13
burn off what is quite a substantial
9:17
you know for scale put it beside my face
9:21
i could go out and ride 45 minutes
9:24
any difficulty at all and i'm offsetting
9:28
it doesn't leave me coming in all scary
9:31
hungry what i'd usually do
9:32
is probably go out on a really big ride
9:34
at the weekend come in
9:36
after four or five hours of riding eat
9:39
everything in sight so i can see that
9:41
i'm probably eating more calories then
9:43
than i've actually expended on the ride
9:46
a little and often seems like quite a
9:49
and even on the e-bike in 45 minutes i
9:52
burn off a biscuit's worth and cover a
9:55
so fun was had now i'm gonna go and
