    Thomas I really enjoy your videos. I binge watch them while I get ready for work each morning. You’re such an inspiration to so many. You may not realize this but you’re so relatable. I wish you continued success in all your endeavours. Cheers from Montreal Canada 🇨🇦👏🏻🚴‍♀️

    Awesome video. Loved the effort - that's a serious time and knowing the dedicated crazy cyclist you are you've definitely got sub 30. Amazing how much you've progressed since taking up cycling!

    That is an awesome time Thomas, it is the heat as well as the climb that kills you up there. I love your mate Press saying "never doing that again", and probably a couple of days later planning the next attempt. Your videos are excellent, like a Billy Wingrove cyclist vibe, can't take the Essex boy excitement out of what you're doing, keep it up.

    Good time, well done! It would be better to attack it early in the morning, so you could take much tighter lines and avoid riding around the corners and riders. This year I started from the bottom around 8AM and in the end was just a margin faster than a year before still doing my base phase of training, I.e. without even working on my threshold power.
