Great ride as always! Now to improve that enjoyment considered 45mm Schwable G one Rs or 47mm Specialized Pro Slicks and you will not lose speed but will gain comfort and speed with low pressure. In USA we are on mountain bike tires for gravel 🤙
I am on the fence about gravel but this ride looked super fun and great way to mix it up sometimes. Those guys definitely kept it interesting with the route selection, kudos to them.
Haha, good to see you out on the gravel bike buddy I remember posting on your last gravel bike vid! The Giant revolt awesome gravel bike love mine, keep the gravel vids coming bud it keeps us inspired 👍👍👍👍wicked video
I believe the saying is, "back on the trail" with a gravel bike 😂 This Christmas, I'm building my first road bike with some used di2 parts. I love using riding as way to exercise as well!! Love your videos!
Thomas, kudos to you for getting back out on the gravel trails. Have you thought about trying out some MTB trails? I think with your BMX skills you would enjoy being out in nature on some challenging technical terrain.
Yeah gravel can be fun just depends where you ride. In Finland where I live there are some forest tracks that are used for Xcountry Skiing and those are a blast to ride. Fast downhills and crazy steep short punchy climbs in succession it's a blast to ride.
That was one nice bike!!! I’m hopefully picking up my new Giant Revolt on Friday but again I won’t be riding it anywhere near as quick as you!!! Did you manage to add a FAAST sticker to it 🤣
@@TheCyclingTattooistI grew up doing BMX and I find mountain biking just as much fun. It’s definitely scary at first, but you get used to it and gain some skills and suddenly it’s the most fun you can have on a bike.
I had a Giant Revolt for a while. Loved the ride quality but the appearance didn't sit right with me. Built up a consumer direct BXT gravel bike next. Lovely thing. I notice you wearing arm warmers. Only plus 20?😊😊😊
@TheCyclingTattooist top guys are all in skinsuits with integrated hydration bladders and it's impossible to place high without a sag crew at aid stations. spirit of gravel is dead and buried.
Looks a bit high tempo for a gravel ride - did look a lot of fun though… the spirit of gravel requires a bit more chill riding - otherwise it’s just off-road road riding 👍
White kit on gravel, I admire the dedication 😂 excellent video, I love the Portuguese work life balance.
Don’t know what I was thinking! Ruined my bibs now… 😭
皆が陽気で、笑い、笑い、走り、走る。とても元気が出る、ありがとう！私も日本のグラベルを楽しんでいます。
Yeah there’s a good energy here in the community… 😁🙌
You smashed it Thomas! That bike was cleannnnn
It’s a beauty aye… 😁🙌
Great video, I am gravel rider in north east England but enjoy your videos, keep one foot in gravel just for the fun of it
Looks like fun ride, especially with crew like you guys.
Need to try them gravel bikes!
Cheers!
Yeah top group… bunch of savages!
@TheCyclingTattooist 🤘🔥
You’re an absolute missile Tom! That would be a respectable pace on the road 😬
I was trying! 🤣🙌

Yeah I like the idea of bigger tyres for sure… more confidence inspiring! 🙌
What a wicked route, amazing variation in terrain and views !
Yeah it was as mad as a box of frogs… 🤣🙌

Yeah it’s fun… buts it’s just not for me! As I said I get my fitness from the road and my fun from bmx… so gravel is a bit of a nothing burger for me!
Great episode!! Enjoying so much these episodes in Portugal.
🥰🙏🙏🙏

Yeah it was a proper bit of kit… felt rapid on that terrain! 🤪🤘
Great video as always Thomas 🚴♂️🚴♂️👍
🙏🙏🙏
Great video , I am a gravel rider in north east England where it should be called bridle bashing! Keep one foot in gravel just for the fun of it ,

Ahhh yes thats sounds right… I’ll have to remember that! For the next time I ride gravel… in another years time! 🤣
Great vid! I commute on a gravel bike but would always choose tarmac over farmers fields!! Can relate
Yeah that bit was sketchy for sure… 🥵
Nice bike - nothing like a grovel on a gravel! 😂😂
This looked like a blast….more gravel not less!!!
It was definitely fun… just not as fun as bmx! 🤣👍
lush paintjob on the Giant revolt
Yeah was stunning… even better in person! 😍

@@TheCyclingTattooist Google Finland Gravel 2025 180kms of gravel madness.
Great video!
🙏🙏🙏
Great ride, can you tell us some of the places you’re passing through, looks like going east up the Tejo
That was awesome
🥰🙏
I wish i had smooth gravel like this around here.
Yeah the smooth fast but were definitely fun…
That was one nice bike!!! I’m hopefully picking up my new Giant Revolt on Friday but again I won’t be riding it anywhere near as quick as you!!! Did you manage to add a FAAST sticker to it 🤣
Enjoy your new bike mate! 😁🙌
I guess it is true a day on the bike beats a good in the office every time.
Fun = Dangerous 😂😂
Some bits were wild…
I love my revolt,a few upgrades on it make for a nippy bike,
I do like that paint job tho…
Yeah really was a great bike… 🙌
next time you come back to LA, we gotta MTB 👀 lol
I’m not sure I’m ready to go full MTB 🤣
Do you use a mouth mount for the GoPro? Love your videos btw 👊🏻👊🏻
Yes I do… and thank you! 😁🙏
@@TheCyclingTattooist when you think about gravel again here in Ribatejo, please let me know 👊🏻
I’m kind of shocked you haven’t tried mountain biking at this point
I’m not sure I can bring myself to do it… 😅

Oh really… I thought it was a stunning looking thing, I don’t know a lot about gravel, but to me it seemed like a beauty…
Are you being sarcastic!!!! Fricken funny. Tore that apart, nice work.
😅😅😅
You should ride in an aero helmet when you're on these fast group rides. You'd save a lot of watts.
Not really the “spirit of gravel” though is it… 🤣
@TheCyclingTattooist top guys are all in skinsuits with integrated hydration bladders and it's impossible to place high without a sag crew at aid stations. spirit of gravel is dead and buried.
But I’m not a pro nor am I competing… so I couldn’t care less about a few watts saved on a gravel ride to be honest! 😅
Let`s put it down: You are a roadie!
That hurt my soul… 🤣
2 bike garage: lightweight road bike & E-gravel bike with full mounts
Sounds great!
more gravel would bring you much more audience - just saying
No amount of audience is worth that torture… 🤣
Looks a bit high tempo for a gravel ride - did look a lot of fun though… the spirit of gravel requires a bit more chill riding - otherwise it’s just off-road road riding 👍
A bit high tempo for my skill set I think… definitely more interested in a more cafe ride type gravel ride! 😁🙌
What is Dave helmet name ?
Not sure… hopefully he’ll see this and comment! 😁👍
@TheCyclingTattooist I've got same as your but it's quite massive, you know 😆 👍
Oh really… can’t say I’ve noticed it being massive. But then I did come from a poc and they are huge! 🤣
