I get out for a ride with my Portuguese cycling buddy David and he finally takes me to somewhere he has been wanting to take me for a while. I thought we was meant to go out on an enjoyable ride... but it seems he has other plans, taking me up the most steep and revered climb in the area. Its name is "Socorro" which directly translates to "help" and I really couldn't think of a more fitting name for this climb. It was brutal...

David seems like a great guy to ride with. His sense of humour is great 😂
He has English levels of sarcasm 😂
Yes he has very quickly become a very close friend… a top tier human! 🤣🙌
What a great cycling partner David is,he has local knowledge of the routes and climbs and is a very strong rider
Yep he’s a gem alright! 😁🙌
A Portuguese guy leaving in Uk watching a British guy that now leaves in PT where I used to ride by bike, how odd :) . Love your videos
What a day!!
🤪🤘
This hill is really hard.... So I am going to ride up it one handed talking to the camera... You make me laugh 😂 Great video once again
Not my best idea! 🤣
Socorro never ceases to impress. Well done.
David is the perfect guy to go for a ride... especially with you. Really fun to watch...not sure you agree with the fun part on that 20% part...but Portugal is not flat as many might think 🤙😜
Lol, Portugal is far from flat.
Yeah he’s a great cycling buddy for sure… and you’re not wrong there, Portugal is far from flat 🤪🤘
@@gabrieljohannson6777 I know 😜. Been bike packing in Portugal 😁💪
love that maap jacket
that was hell of a climb, and u still could do the filming really well.. respect😳
It was brutal! 🤣
Great Ride Bro
That supersix is looking great, love a brightly coloured bike!
Good video Tom, I enjoyed it. As a novice cycling CZcamsr myself....I appreciate just how well your content is edited 🚴👍
Thanks very much! 😁🙏
We like David. Thanks for the video before we go out on the bikes. Stuck in uk for a few weeks but it's 🌞.
😁🙌
It is hard enough to climb hill. But to climb and video at the same time is insane. Kudos to you guys!!!
It certainly didn’t help the situation… 😅
Mad skills on the BMX! It's a good life brother - enjoy.
You've some skills on the BMX. Roadie looks sweet now...its mental how much damage sweat can cause to bikes. It must feel like a new machine now. Great video... Portugal looks amazing
excellent..thanks for another vid Thomas!
The trek was a BEAST
Lucky to be affiliated with maap, cool products
Helmet looks amazing, and David is a keeper for sure. Love his humour
I agree with both! 🤪🙌
Perfect day, skate park looks mint,enjoy
Am loving that you are learning the local language in your new home and teaching it to us in your vlogs 😅
I'm portuguese and even I didn't know they called the smallest gear the "avozinha" (granny) 😅😂 thanks for teaching haha
Got to try… it’s just so so hard!
And glad to hear I’m even teaching the locals too… 🤣👍
@@TheCyclingTattooist Some things link to English through latin, so socorro = succour = help and you can make that connection in your head.
Avozinha, has the (z)inho/a ending that adds a kind of "small" or "gentle" bit of meaning to the word it joins onto. Like sweet/sweetie kind of. That's used a lot.
There's a fair lot of little bits and pieces like that you can add to the "toolkit" and things will soon build up. David will enjoy keeping you right on the subtleties ;-)
Great vídeo Thomas again , perfect music . 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 great !!
Thank you! 🙏
What away to start my day…
Great video kool tunes..
As always …
Living the dream ❤
😁🙏
Sunday treat!!
🙏🙏🙏
Wicked climb - lucky it was a short one! 😂🚴👍
Your a jack of all trades mate. The vids are getting better and better. 😊
Haha thanks mate 🤪🤘
Ace vid as usual, what a climb.
Mega skills on the bmx 💪🏁🏁
Thank you! 😁🙏
Brilliant video 👍💪
Thank you 🙌
Another good video keep up the gd work 🤘🚲🔥
The once and done ride..🤣 Nice view indeed, I'm sure the descend was pretty incredible other than the wet surface. Keep the shining side up, Thomas👍👍
Yeah it was nice to freewheel back down for sure… 🤣
Nice video and welcomeback to Portugal
I did the climb socorro for the first time during the Grandfondo Torres Vedras
Killer climb especially three quarters of the way into the ride
It’s absolutely brutal… 💀
Living the life Thomas 👌🏻 how do you find the room to store all of your cycling clothes? The must take up 3 rooms? 😂
Still working with myself on that helmet. Not there yet 😅 The EVO looks awesome, btw.It's a new classic, along with the likes of Tarmac SL6.
🤣🙈
6:41 🤣🤣🤣 David good joker 😂
Fuck yes brother! Looks sick! Much better than the Essex roads we deal with 🤣
Nice ride mate! After a little bit downhill, it's more like you are gonna hit the wall🤣
🤣🙌
A week ago I've eaten the same custard cakes in Spain ; )
Nice bike tattoo cyclist. New subscriber as well
Yo dude! Another vid!! I was wondering if you could let me know what Wahoo headhunt you use? Many thanks 😀
Nice bike tattoo cyclist. New subscriber as well. 🇦🇺
😁🙏🙏🙏
It was a great opportunity for you to set a good example of a BMX rider using the skate park assuming that it was envisioned to be for skate boarders primarily.
I’d actually say that the skatepark was designed to suit all types… that’s what’s so great about that park 😁🙌
Different bike ? I remember the Bianchi !!
Tough life 😂
Did your Supersix come with the Knot/Save stem combo originally? If yes how have you managed to find a stem that doesn’t look hideous on it and actually fits well 😂
Nice helmet ❤ btw did u change your bike? 😆
What size is your hi-mod? I remember you saying you went down to a size 50 on the Trek.
What are you using to film your content while you ride? Is that a go pro?
I’m struggling not to hack up a lung at 20%, never mind commentate! And for such a small road, impressive how good the tarmac is, immaculate.
Ahh yeah the roads are mostly great quality… much better than the uk for sure!
What camera set-up are you using? Looking sharp mate!!
I use a mixture… but majority is done in a go pro 12 😁👍
I wanted the bike service video!
Huh..?
@@TheCyclingTattooist should of read I wanted A bike service video. (Like a build/service)
Now you should do everesting on that climb🤣
Hellllll no!
All this cycling in Portugal and no chicken shacks!!!! Seriously man...
If I wanted that s*** I’d have stayed in the UK and had a s****y Nando’s… proper Portuguese food is unreal! 🤤
Have to watch other cyclist climb, life in the delta is a battle against the WIND. New Orleans to Nashville on the Natchez Trace. MAAP Faast Crew jerseys 🙏
Maap x faast would be strong! 🤪🤘
Anytime my cycling friends say we’re going to have some fun it either means I’m going to get drug up and down some steep hills or nice easy pace ride becomes a Viking death march
Oh this is so true… but I wouldn’t have it any other way! 🤣🙌
Nice contrast from the UK to Portugal, the road to BMX. I was thinking you would pull the rocket vomit move on that monster climb! Do youtubers ever collaborate? I know a certain Amy and Kyle who do soul cycling content like yourself and seems Kyle is due for some new tattoos.
Send them over! 🤪🤘
HAAAHAHAHA, local legend on that segment has 25 efforts in the last 90 days. These super steep short climbs are all I've got around me. Doesn't matter how fit I get, greater than 15% just sucks.
So you guys know, many cyclists, like me, changed their subscription to the grandfondo in Torres Vedras last month because of this climb. If you wanted to avoid it at the end of your race, you had to choose the Minifondo because the Mediofondo and the Granfondo had at least 8 climbs and 80+ kms before that. You should try one of these Granfondos, Tom! "It's fun!" 😂😂😂
Yeah I tried to get a late entry to that event… but it didn’t work out unfortunately 😢
@@TheCyclingTattooist Many more to come. Hope to see you in one of them someday 😉👍🏻
Socorro is more than help, is like SOS!
Disgusting! 🤣
Why did Bruno do the Bartape from up to down?🤔
Because that’s how I like it… I only wrap from the hoods down, and then no need for tape. Purely an aesthetic thing for me.
@@TheCyclingTattooist If you say its more aesthetic i‘ll have to take a closer look at how it looks and it is done🤌🏼
it's a personal preference kinda thing... no real right or wrong way. Just in my opinion I don't like the look of when aero bars are wrapped past the hoods. Some people disagree and hate it the way I do it, but each to their own... 🤪👍
@@TheCyclingTattooist each to their own✌🏼
Ha ha, you big kid...
Never grow up!
Never never never
more BMX content!
I try slip it in where I can… 🤪🤘
I don’t think the weather app on iPhones ever gets its right
Haha… at this point it’s really not even worth checking!
Of course you would say it’s lovely to be back on your old bike. That’s because you lost your sponsorship with Trek.
🤣🤣🤣 I chose to leave them actually… watch my previous video! 👍
The BIG ass TREK logo is ugly. The SS in Red is much better looking bike.
Amen!
