We found some really nice roads. It’s always a slight gamble with the road surfaces this time of year, when you don’t know where you’re going, but we got really lucky today. There was definitely no gravel anyway!! 😂
Sorry to hear that John, hope you don’t have it too bad. Just go steady as sometimes you’ll feel ok and carry on as normal and then the fatigue will wipe you out. I’m feeling better every day, but you jus have to be patient with the recovery and take it slowly. Take care mate
Well done Darren, great video as always, hope that you will be back to normal soon. All the very best. p.s. totally agree with your winter comment. The only good thing about getting old and being retired is being able to spend Jan to March cycling in southern Spain......can't wait!
Well done on getting out there and making another video. You're right, winter sucks. Didn't seem that long ago I had the first ride of the year in shorts and short sleeves!
Thanks Steve, I spent 18 months trying my best to avoid it and it finally got into work. We have had 6 people off so far and it’s rife within the local area thanks to the Wolverhampton lab cock up with negative tests debacle. So hopefully everyone else escapes it 🤞
Nice to see you back Darren. I was poorly about two months ago and my chest is still wheezy and it makes it hard to cycle up the hills. Just got to try and carry on.
Thanks Chris, I’m just glad it wasn’t worse, some people haven’t been so lucky. The first step is always the hardest, so I’m glad it’s out the way and wasn’t as bad as I’d feared.
Well Done Darren and the Mendip crew…👏🏽 Covid knocked me about in Jan pre vaccinations, i remember the first few rides were tough… power through, and unless you get the black death, don’t leave it so long!!! 😂
Looked a great ride. Sorry I missed it!

Continued recovery my friend. Best wishes from Dubai 🙏🏼🤲🏼
Thank you Naeem, hopefully I’m in the mend now. I felt ok after yesterday, so 🤞that I’ve seen the back of it now
Sorry to hear about your Covid situation Darren but glad to see you and the team back on the road. Some nice shots with the camera Darren.
Thanks Malcolm
Good to see your well buddy. Hello from Australia.
Thanks Peter, as we are moving in to winter, you’re moving into Summer, I’m not jealous at all! 😬😢
Good to see you back👍
It’s good to be back!
COVID-19 oh dear! Good to see you are out on the bike and making a recovery great vlog
Thanks Ade, gladly I’m getting stronger every day, but I did have a few scary moments struggling to breathe.
Hope you're feeling a bit better mate. I've just tested Positive so I've got all the fun to look forward to.

Thanks Steve, lucky you! Roll on retirement if h that’s the case!!

This summer felt really short! I can’t believe it’s October already
Great to see you out and about again Darren. So pleased you’re recovering from Covid and hope you get back to full health and fitness quickly.

I love the cycling content. You have a new fan here. How often do you upload???
Thank you! I generally upload every Sunday evening. Sometimes there may be another video mid week if I have time.

Thanks Lewis, it was good to get back out today and wasn’t as bad as I’d thought it would be.
Can I add that we (Justin and I) didn’t survive the rain 😬🌧.
Oh, and Winter is Coming whether we like it or not, Mr Doom and Gloom 😂
It might be coming, doesn’t mean I have to like it!!! Justin did mention he had wet feet at the end 😬
Nine quid for a toasted sandwich, presumably with tea. I wouldn't go back there, that's for sure!
Nope, just the Sandwich, we also won’t be going back!! 😂
