- The boys are planning to take on Rapha's Festive 500 over the Christmas period, where to goal is to ride 500km between Chrismas Eve and New Years Eve. But before that they need to do some training.
In this weeks episode Joe and Reuben head out for a tough training ride with the aim of hitting the hills hard in order to prepare for those long miles over Christmas. As always they both have a good go at dishing out some pain to one another.
Joe also gives the lowdown on his 2019 long termer, a Scott Scale RC 900 World Cup. He's got some big races planned and hopefully the Scale will be a loyal companion in 2019.

Are you a Festive 500 veteran? Do you have any advice or are you a first timer? Let us know below and MERRY CHRISTMAS! 🎊
Just ride your bike untill you get to 500kms ! :)
Please do a video about the festive 500
Get people to help! Ask mates for a 100k ride then let em drag you round
500 klicks in a week at this time of year is a lot, so cheers to you gents for rising to the challenge! And as far as advice, I guess I'd say keep watching the odometer and stop at 500. And make sure it is set to kilometers, not miles.
Very dismayed with Joe's lack of jumper Christmas spirit, but Ruben saves the day. The Scott looks to be one of the sweeeetest HT's ever - can't wait to see what you make of it long term.
Yes, Another great video! You all have excellent chemistry together!
You guys are always a pleasure to watch and are very motivational and have inspired me to start racing again this next year, if ever you get to the states ,san Diego ca. To be exact i would love to go out for a ride with the 3 of you. I'll take you on some climbs and treat you guys to a coffee and cake.
Merry Xmas - have found you this year and love the Diaries series. Love your style and the chemistry between the team Hope to see more in 2019. Thanks and all the best for 2019
I'm a mountain biker but hooked on this series!
Killer looking single speed. Great work on the bikes. Well done, fellows!!
Love these vids! Friendly laid back and a bit ard’
I love that area between Bristol and Wells. So many nice little roads and the odd trakeway too. Thinking of riding from my home (sussex) to Bristol via Wells when the weather picks up next year so I watch those KOMs (not).
I've had to pull out of the 500 this year, as I'm still pretty mashed up from being driven into on a roundabout during the commute a couple of weeks back. An entire rib cages' worth of pulled muscles is not fun! Hope you guys have a fantastic time riding this Christmas, take it steady and enjoy yourselves. Lots of coffee stops!
gOOD luck in Lanzarote Joe!
🔰 I will follow you
That new Scale looks mint!
Joe, please re-route that front hose to the inside of the fork. It hurts mechanics' eyes 😐. Loving the diaries format. Much better than the Global Sausage Network 😉
Andrew Lewin that is just unnecessarily mean to GCN.
@@Teolungu Ha. Love those guys really 😘
Sir !! Can you please review the Scott scale rc 900pro 🙏✌️
How to watch bikeradar diaries: smash the like button, then watch the video
Anyone entering 2019 with a 26er? or I'm the only one?
Hey there, I was wondering if Joe could inform us of his height and maybe even wingspan. I’m really between sizes on the Scale and trying to get some guidance from more seasoned mtbers. Congrats on the new bike an thanks for a well done video!
Hi Brian, I'm exactly 6ft tall and suspect my wingspan would be a touch longer than my height as I have fairly long arms. Hope that helps, Joe.
Great series guys, keep it up
🎓I have 2 times the FESTIVE 500 challangue, and on sunday I gonna try to reach my 3 Festive 500.
Merry Christmas!!🤶☃️
I'm counting on you guys to do the Festive 500. Not the Festive 361 or the Festive 219 or the Festive 87. The Festive Five-Hundred. We'll be watching and you'd better show us the numbers, so we know for sure :)
What program are you using to post your power, cadence, and speed? Thanks in advance...Cheers!
1:14 - What's the horrible noise?
I was wondering the same thing. Maybe a brake dragging?
@@Calum_S Sounds more like Reuben's bike screaming in pain.
@@philadams9254 😂
Thats the reindeers mate
Enjoy the season. Keep up with the content. The only segments I'm interested in are terry 's.
I think your FTP is higher than you think Joe! That sort of duration in z5/6 for most people would wipe them out.
A singlespeed flatbar roadbike. Rad Reuben is back.
Someone described it as a performance hybrid a few weeks back.
What tyres are you running on the blue/red s-works? (cant remember the name of it lol)
You guys should try a week working as bike couriers ;)
That's a genuinely good idea!
Wasn’t your East Harptree actually West Harptree?
Arg! Put some Oil on those rotors! 😂
i just crashed today and i am really missing cycling
Congratulation on the series. I love it.
Joe, just curious to know what rim and tyre widths are you going to use this season? Thanks
realy nice bikes but do you realy have to put 30 lights and 20 mounts on anyone plus helmet ?
Joe, could let us know what helmet you're sporting? 🤔 💭 Thanx 😁👍
@Joe Norledge What's the red light on the back of that helmet?
@Joe Norledge thanks Joe 😁👍 Ps loving the festive look Ruben's ☃️🎄⛄ and merry Xmas 🎄 all!!
Joe you have to reroute the brakehose in the front. It should go at the inside of the fork
great vid ! Question, you almost always ride montain bike frame / wheels but you never hit a single track ?
hey guys great content by the way, I was wondering could you consider making a video where you test different size stem and handlebar combination and how that affects the handling on flats, climbs and downhill, for instance long/short stem paired with narrow/wide handlebars??
Another excellent Video What was that awful squeak couldn't do that ride with a squeaky bike lol
What's that helmet light on the back of the Evade?
Is there a long term review video for the S-Works Epic HT that has been featured in a few of the episodes? Thanks!
Here you go - ua-cam.com/video/t66fN4YJrJ4/v-deo.html
What was the last climb? Backwell?
Attempting my first festive 500 this year - in Scotland as well
That's where I'll be putting the miles in. Weather is looking pretty fair at the moment - let's hope it stays that way.
Sweet bike, love my Scale rc 900... Looking forward to seeing you race it.My 2016 rc900 weighs 8.7kg XX1 eagle drive train, 2018 sid world cup carbon-no remote lockout so would like to retro fit the Scott one you have! Any clues if i can do it???
@Joe Norledge Interesting read on how heavier can be faster www.pressreader.com/australia/australian-mountain-bike/20180601/283343292845395
@Joe Norledge I'm old and slow so need to build as light as possible! Looking forward to seeing you upgrade and race the bike.
Are we going to see some Carbon wheels on the Scott?
My mate did 500 kms in 24 hours
Great video. Thank you!
Curious: what are Euro-American climbs? (Maybe I misheard.)
He actually said "euro marathon climbs"!
Thanks. It makes more sense. :-)
When I google it, I find the following. Is that it?

Thank you for taking the time to reply. And thank you for the awesome videos!
Don’t hit the sherry and end up leaving for each ride just before sunset.
Get a rigid fork for gravel and or do a comparison video with rigid vs susp fork
Why the bloody hell would you take a mountain bike on a road ride?
This time of year I pretty much only ride my mtb on the road. Too much snow on the trails and too much chance for ice on the road for a road bike. I’m in norway though. But also, you don’t get as cold on the mtb because the speed is lower and my feet tend to stay drier longer
@Joe Norledge I was wondering the same and wondered if it was due to British winter conditions. Why not? Cuz it's slower for the same wattage.
@Joe Norledge you are a mountain bike zealot sir.
No snow for the 500, that’s cheating
Andreas L I’m in Scotland and it’s cold. Does black ice count?
It most definitely does, it’s among the worst things to ride on
Got -11c at the moment and expect to have even colder at midnight when I set out
realy nice bikes but do you realy have to put 30 lights and 20 mounts on anyone plus helmet ?
Yes - be safe be seen 🚨👌
