 Happy New Year to everyone, it's the second of January here in Sunshine Coast and today will be the first time we do a full video on this channel riding around the beautiful Noosa area and basically every time I start a ride here in Noosa I'm having to start with a strong black coffee. Reason being is I'm waking up here so lethargic, one the humidity, how are you mate? And two, the birds are just heaving out tunes here at like, what time do you reckon mate? It's my dog here, about 4.30am so unless I buy an Uzi and take him all out which is not in my nature I'm having to start the ride so I get some energy. Today I've been sent this ketone drink from HVMM, I'm going to be reviewing this early January, it's a supplement to help improve performance. Just drinking pure ketones, there it is there, I'll get back to my black coffee. So we're going to go riding with a couple of lads today, I say half of Melbourne, see that's what I'm talking about. Let's start again, we're going to be riding with a couple of lads today, they say half of Melbourne's up here so we've got Aiden from Melbourne, he's one of the hitters in the local A-grade criteria emcee in Melbourne, races and rides with Race Atlas and also I'm going to introduce you to my new riding partner up here in Noosa, Ian, he's actually himself moved up here with the family about seven or eight weeks ago, he's from Melbourne, he's got a family of four kids and it seems like a cracking human but got a slight challenge, he's actually not originally from Melbourne even though he lived there for the last five or so years, he's from Scotland and I want to explain something to you, get your advice. Yes you know when you're riding your bike side by side with somebody and it's a little bit harder to hear them because obviously there's a bit of wind in the air and you just got to hone in a little bit more, well Ian might have lived in Australia for sort of around five years but he's still got a very very thick Scottish accent and I'm having a little bit of trouble on the bike mainly sort of picking up what he says, so if anyone's got any advice if anyone's ridden side by side with somebody who's Scottish, got some tips let me know in the below description area because I'm really you know I don't want to keep saying big your pardon and also saying yeah to things I've got no idea what he said, so I've just realized today I'm that guy so focused on camera equipment so hopefully one of you, one of you blokes will let me wrap my lips around your water bottles, so Ian where we going today we're 15km, Ian where you taking us? So we'll head up towards Curoy and then continue on out to Boring Point, nice quiet woods and then we'll come back in the top end of Nusa and then just roll all along Beach Road in Nusa. What about a coffee? Oh yeah, we'll have to do a coffee or do we? Yeah, no I'm Magnificent. Maybe two. That looks alright on the Chapter 2, nice narrow dynamic, Ian's stuck in. I'm dying. You're going as well, you've seen the ingredients on these things? Ah, who cares. The first time ever, can you see it there? My zip is just sort of burst open full-blown Mardi Gras style while riding, taking my GoPro in. It's gone over there, Ian. Very nice. Starting with Ian, tell me what's the technique to getting Scottish accent down pat? At the time, so that's the go-to. Option two is you just say yes to whatever. I mean just pray that they haven't asked you our actual question, that requires a response. Option number three, which is preferable, is just not to ride with them. So a decent ride today. I've clocked up 130 kilometers, so that 130 K's was needed because I seriously overindulged during the festive Christmas and New Year period. So just to wrap up this video, I know there's a few people out there that are sending messages about I've got a discussion with Tommy Nairn-Kurbis in front of a Glenvale-Lagrae Criterium. Well I had that video ready to go and a couple of days ago it crashed my whole computer. I deleted the file off my computer. Now my hard drive is completely wrecked, so I'm actually going to see an IT professional here in the Sunshine Coast today. Hopefully I can get it resolved and that video will be coming shortly. All the best to everyone for 2019. All my channel supporters, subscribers, etc. I hope you have a cracking year and I'll catch you all in the next video.
