Lawrence - "I'm not eating that , it's fake food , plastic food" with a look of disgust on his face . Legend quote . Right , I'll get back to watching the vid now . Peace , out .
James or Lawrence would go off the rails first--James would march off into the desert, searching for rattlesnakes, and Lawrence would stand on the shoulder, contemplating his personal space. Francis would just phone in a helicopter and get his mates to climb aboard and bid adieu to the lunacy of riding bicycles through the desert in the summer.
You seem to be doing ok despite the heat . As far as your science question , yes it is convection currents also you are seeing the land the way its been for thousands of years . You can actually find sea shell fossils in the desert being it was once an ancient sea bed with other parts tropical forest . The ice shelf during the ice age never went down that far so its untouched the only thing missing is the dinosaurs and a bit more water .lol . Not sure where you are exactlly considering what the valley offers in visuals , other then heat . Also Francis I love the tone on your vids , very cinematic and so well edited . Sorry too for my long drawn out comments . I am just real passionate about the south west and its beauty , although not for everyone ..
Suffering for your Sport, you have all just taken it to another level guys. Good to see such friendship which is clearly getting you all through these tough days on the bike !!
3 things. 1- footage and music on this trip are just fucking nuts! 2- I’ve been sat in a tent all week watching these videos with the ribble ad for the ti ribble bike and now seeing this has confirmed I want one. 3- i may have shed a tear for the loss of the flag. True story. Keep smashing it lads! These vids are the dogs danglies!
I feel like I’m on the trip w/ you all. Great job! Find another US flag. Weirdly, it’s probably keeping you safe from motorists who might otherwise abuse you. Should be easy to find, we are coming up on Independence Day, they are everywhere. It in no way connects you to the current US government as one comment suggested. A California Bear Flag wouldn’t hurt either. Forward!
A tip too help with the nose bleeds is to keep some water in your mouth it prevents your sinuses from drying out or use a saline nasal spray that is what i do to help with the nose bleeds.
2:22, that moment when all your friends are making Fallout references and you've only seen A Bugs Life. I think I understand James' love of Gatorade... he thinks it's Nuka-Cola Quantum.
Dude this ride gets gnarlier each day. Morale seems pretty low on this one. I live in Phoenix where it ranges 100F/37C - 120F/48C from June through September and I can’t imagine doing what you’re doing. Well done- literally and figuratively. Cheers!
Q&A time... You 3 blokes have gotten on quite well together. In fact, I think you’ve grown to fancy being together along this experience more than any other time in the past. One could say that you’ve shared something remarkable, life changing, and you will always embrace it as a monumental moment in all of your lives. My question to you Francis, is there anyone else you now wish you could have brought along with you on this journey?
Beautiful B-Roll, just keeps on getting better and it's buttery smooth. Amazing trip you guys are sharing, however now the flag has gone, it must be time to call it a day and head home...
Guys thank you for a wonderful insight into your adventure. It is truly amazing 😉 and I am seriously in awe of what you are achieving day by day. Keep riding and be safe.
Wow you guys are almost done with the desert, well done! I have driven through that area and your videos really make it prettier than it is in a car…. I am looking forward to the Yosemite video, it is one of my favorite places on the planet! When you get to Oregon, you will be amazed how green and how many trees there are in it is comparison what you have been through. (As long you come the western side of Oregon, the east side is desert).
Great film! Looks amazing :) I am amazed at the awesome footage you and Lawrence are getting. Keep up the great work. Such an epic adventure!!!!!! Makes me want to do it.
I'm seriously hanging off every episode here - brilliant footage and editing, I can almost feel the heat - Brilliant work on top of a very hard ride. One tip for the nose bleeds - tell James that he is meant to drink the Gatorade, not dry it out and snort it...
Appreciating the Fallout references. Oh yeah, cool bike ride, too. Glad to see you Stooges made it through D-Valley in one (three) relatively hydrated piece(s).
Truly enjoying the videos as I lived in Vegas for years AND found my wife their as well. Given the flats and tube issues, can any of you find a bike shop and go tubeless? The visuals bring back great memories of desert riding.
You are suffering on the bike, Francis. And you are suffering for your art. And then you stop at Denny's. And maybe breakfast with your friends is the best part.
Two questions, well three. Can I ask you two questions? What kind of sling are you using for your camera? When you create your Francis goes to Hollywood playlist, would you list them chronologically?
If it makes you fellas feel any better, being in a desert means you're also likely in a food desert. The food situation will improve as you get closer to populated and cosmopolitan areas. California is certainly not all burgers and Dennys. Thing about the US is it's such a big country it's better thought of as a loose federation of smaller nation states. Honestly, England feels more like the same country as my home state of Massachusetts than say, Arizona does, in a lot of ways.
Loving the constant uploads. Take some iron if you’re getting a lot of nose bleeds. Spinach is a good plant-based source if you don’t want supplements.
Hey Francis, since it seems that you are struggling with riding in the desert as much as you are struggling with plastic food I thought I would suggest a little life hack! Amazon has a service in the USA called Amazon fresh. And the offer shipping a bunch of organic stuff! Deliver is next day. You can ship to hotels and motels and stuff, select a delivery time and such. So you could place an order for the next day and the place you are staying at and have a goody package waiting for you! Just an idea. Could be helpful! You guys rock btw!
Always reassuring to know your dads at the end of the line where ever you are, if the remake Rain Man - Has to be Lawrence, don't think he realises just how cool he is.
Straight out of Pahrump, you should have gone to Furnace Creek Resort. You would have gone by Badwater (lowest point), the museum, and had a resort with big pool, tennis, and golfing................IN 129 DEGREES!

Lawrence Carpenter, nice one, we'll be in Sicily at the end of September touring for 5 days, temperate will be around 30°, Thanks for replying, I'll be on it like Scotch bonnet for 900ml thermal bottles. Keep smiling dudes.. Steve
Continued watching after 5 hours but the heartbreak was when y'all said there is a casualty then I thought someone was gonna go back till I realise it's the flag. My heart really sank for 10 seconds.

It’s great watching you three go slightly madder with each vlog 😳
ahahah yeah! noticed a humor change in Lawrence already

you have great insight
I love how they started with "hardest day ever" and then it got progressively harder and the titles are trying to out do the last. Peaked too soon :D

Okay, even my wife is looking forward to the vlogs now...Yosemite here you come!

We laughed at this SO HARD
I just finished my daily bike ride and watched this video. Now, I want to go on another ride. Awesome video, Francis! Thanks for inspiring all of us!
Dude this ride gets gnarlier each day. Morale seems pretty low on this one. I live in Phoenix where it ranges 100F/37C - 120F/48C from June through September and I can’t imagine doing what you’re doing. Well done- literally and figuratively. Cheers!
"The ones from bugs life" lol. James face was priceless. And the weekend at Bernie's reference was so good. Laughed pretty hard at that one.

Those drone shots are so good. Enjoy the Yosemite. After what you've been through it'll be like heaven.
Guys thank you for a wonderful insight into your adventure. It is truly amazing 😉 and I am seriously in awe of what you are achieving day by day. Keep riding and be safe.
Lawrence when you come to Fresno I will have a flag for you.
Is James becoming telepathic" in most films, nosebleeds are a sign of the start of power's!!!
Best watch on the you tube hands down 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
I'm loving the trip boys, feel like I'm rolling along with you guys. Thanks!!!
You guys are killing it! Glad you all are almost back to civilization.... well... what we would call that in the states.
I find myself rushing home from work just to catch the next crazy episode.................... how could you forget the bloody flag!
The vlogs each day are basically you guys getting more delirious. It’s hilarious I think Lawrence is broken
Wow you guys are almost done with the desert, well done! I have driven through that area and your videos really make it prettier than it is in a car….

Scot Cylces Salutations from Eugene, OR!
Can we all take a moment to remember the flag......👊🏼🚴 🇺🇸 excellent efforts guys!! Keep it up!! loving these videos 👍🏻
These videos are turning into Departures blended with Top Gear and Bicycles.
Amazing and epic ride, keep on going and thanks for sharing it with us !!!
I love desert rides, nothing like um. Glad you choose California. My am rides are ridden after watching your shows, but at 5:30am.
Great film! Looks amazing :) I am amazed at the awesome footage you and Lawrence are getting. Keep up the great work. Such an epic adventure!!!!!! Makes me want to do it.
Good work team - your nailing it guys, nearly there - good times and keep safe
Stunning cinematography
Drone footage was just beautiful.
I'm glad that you guys still alive~~
Morning guys from England great film 🌞🌞🚵♂️🚵♂️🚵♂️👍
I'm seriously hanging off every episode here - brilliant footage and editing, I can almost feel the heat - Brilliant work on top of a very hard ride.

Appreciating the Fallout references. Oh yeah, cool bike ride, too. Glad to see you Stooges made it through D-Valley in one (three) relatively hydrated piece(s).
You guys are like the rockstars of cycling, badass nutters! I hope by now you've reached a hotel with AC, a pool, and real food. And beer, obvs. 😉
Superb vlog Francis, I commented on Lawrence's video there has to be a sequel next year, maybe Australia?
The dawn must have been spectacular.
James is an absolute hero
UNREAL!!
Also just to let you know that there is a fire report around the Sierras. You might want to look it up, it's fire season out here.
Love the Fallout references!! lol
Laurence is LEGEND!
Great video ya smooth faces. Keep ya stimpacks stocked in death valley.
Death Valley is breath taking.
Truly enjoying the videos as I lived in Vegas for years AND found my wife their as well. Given the flats and tube issues, can any of you find a bike shop and go tubeless? The visuals bring back great memories of desert riding.
Damn, feels bad you lost the team mascot. But that's the risk you run with disposable thumbs.
The flag, nooooooo
Like the bike, you all look fried 🤪
Looking forward to next episode, Death Valley looks mad!
You are suffering on the bike, Francis. And you are suffering for your art. And then you stop at Denny's. And maybe breakfast with your friends is the best part.
When's Laurence's videos coming out ??
Two questions, well three.
Can I ask you two questions? What kind of sling are you using for your camera? When you create your Francis goes to Hollywood playlist, would you list them chronologically?
Oh noes! Be safe flaggy...where ever yous is!
Love this!! I'd also love to see the sunset, and we'd like to hear about what sort of awesome sunglasses you all are wearing??
Oakleys!
weekend at bernie's....lfmao. lawerence's new nickname for real. thats priceless.BERNIE!!!BERNIE!!

new subscriber. i'm really enjoying this series. thanks for sharing!
Ironically, vlogging in the desert is most entertaining. Or is it the ‘three stooges’ who make it so🤣
James is going to be sponsored by Gatorade at the end of this...
Came for the second Fallout reference. Was not disappointed.

So good.
Nosebleeds - 5 : Fallout References - 3? Brilliant videos! Whilst I'm not dot watching this time round, some of it feels a bit like Indipac!
Francis with that rad mo you look like a young Bigglesworth. So the title should be Biggles and Ginger and Algy ride across the desert 🐫
Really enjoying just seeing you guys shooting the shit.
So awesome and so entertaining to watch.
Absolutely mega early morning shots again.
Always reassuring to know your dads at the end of the line where ever you are, if the remake Rain Man - Has to be Lawrence, don't think he realises just how cool he is.
Simon Guard cheers brother

We went through early morning, it was all closed obviously!
Amazing vlog....

So the fuxxored wheel is holding up ok then?

Rip Lawrence’s flag
You guys should go fully nocturnal
Guys,
If you could answer with a reply,
What size are your chilled thermal water bottles and how long do they keep your water cool?
Steve
stephen dailey 900ml or so and they don’t. Very short amount of time maybe an hour in 40degrees
Lawrence Carpenter, nice one, we'll be in Sicily at the end of September touring for 5 days, temperate will be around 30°,
Thanks for replying, I'll be on it like Scotch bonnet for 900ml thermal bottles.
Keep smiling dudes..
Steve
Awesome Ride. 👍👍👍
Great series :)
SHIT not again with the gaterade reference
First again! Haha I really need to do something productive while watching these videos
Continued watching after 5 hours but the heartbreak was when y'all said there is a casualty then I thought someone was gonna go back till I realise it's the flag. My heart really sank for 10 seconds.
LEGENDS
Does Lawrence eat at all ?
What's happening to your bike boxes? Did you get them transferred for you?
Binned em
RIP In Peace Flag.
It's not a tour unless you have at least one microwave burrito from a gas station
🎶I wear my Sunglasses at Night so I can sooo I caaaaaaan🎶
Epic!
