You're lucky to have many good friends. Be sure to acknowledge and cherish them while they're here.

I have that same Van Rysel rain jacket. Great jacket.

[@wandafool1]

Don't usually comment. But the parting shot of the quocs were the icing on the cake for me! Good ride!

[@benjaminlechappers]

😂 Cheers ✌️

Sometimes it needs a mate to get you out when your not feeling it and start to procrastinate about going out for a ride, but when you have done it how good do you always feel. Just get on your bike and go. Another enjoyable video Ben

[@benjaminlechappers]

Absolutely, Thanks 🙌🏾

[@quentinpollard5173]

Thanks. I appreciated 🫡

[@Garybaxter1]

well done Guys!! certainly a day out!! I wouldnt fancy riding that trail myself. 🌧🚲 I thought I was bad with 5 bikes 😁 happy riding!!

[@benjaminlechappers]

Ha, it only rained for the 1st half. All good fun 👌🏾

[@CyclingwithRuss]

Rule #9 of cycling : riding in the rain makes you a total bad ass! The shell looked more like a razor clam to me. Top video Ben 👌❤️👌

[@benjaminlechappers]

Thanks Russ. Send me all the rules I’ll try Rick them off. 😂

[@Unktiontofunktion726]

But you’re FAMOUS, remember? You should give it away!😂
Just messin. I’d love to have it, but I’m in TX riding a ‘22 Trek Boone in 105°(feels like 111°) and loving it! Not the heat..🥵

[@benjaminlechappers]

See what you did there 😏

[@eliegeorgesson9099]

Hi Benjamin! I watched your videos and noticed you’re using a Madone for gravel riding. I’m curious, is the Madone as capable as the Checkpoint for gravel biking? And which one do you prefer?
Thx

[@benjaminlechappers]

Yes, it is! The checkpoint feels more capable but I love the fact I can have one bike and two sets of wheels.
I have the dirt Riever coming up. That will be the real test

🫵🏻💪🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@fucktheworld1207]

I'd kill myself doing an audax 😂

[@benjaminlechappers]

Yeah don’t do that

[@paulangeloff400]

What is it with British cyclists and no gloves? I don’t get it.

[@benjaminlechappers]

Yeah Foxy had gloves. It’s just actually easier to film without them .
