Gordy's Bike Time

I’m not the fastest (probably the slowest) on the trail. I’m just a guy with a bike and a camera, trying to get a little bit better every time I head out.

On this channel, I’m documenting the whole process:

Trail Stories: 10-minute rides with a bit of a story. The struggle to hit steep tech, the "ego checks," and the actual fun of being out there.

The Edits: Taking the time to make the local woods look like a movie. I’m obsessed with the craft of filming.

The Deep Dives: Short, honest introspective films about the mental side of riding

No pro-level fluff. Just the reality of the ride and the lens.

Cheers for watching.

It felt so good to finally get back out with the mates for a proper laugh. No deep thoughts or over-analyzing the trail today—just pure riding and a reminder of why we do this.

The edit is finally done, so I’ll be putting it up in a few hours. Hope you guys enjoy the change of pace!

"I’m being honest in today’s video about why I really ride solo. It’s not always about the 'Sanctuary'—sometimes it’s about the 'Security' of not being seen. Who else feels this?"

I’ve been making videos about the mental side of riding for a long time.
This is a clearer version of that.

Taking a bit of time before the next ride.
Not to reset fitness — to pay attention to what actually stops me starting again.

Happy New Year.
The last 12 weeks have been quiet on the bike.
Fitness lost. Motivation drifted. Posting stopped.
That wasn’t burnout or quitting — it was a reset.
I’ve been stepping back, recalibrating, and getting honest about where I am and where I want this to go. Not chasing numbers. Not forcing rides. Just laying the groundwork.
This year is about rebuilding properly — body, mindset, and momentum.
No hype. No pressure. Just consistent progress and better stories to tell.
Here’s to showing up again — a little humbler, a little hungrier.

Hey folks, sorry for the lack of uploads recently, I'm having some time off the bike. Don't worry though i'm spending my time converting the van to a fully functioning camper, which will let me ride further a field. So 2026 I'll be back and hoping to smash a great year of riding! see you soon, Gordy.

Happy New Year🥳 to you all! I have no idea what 2025 holds for me in terms of MTB, YouTube etc. I've had some massive life events over last few year (loss of both parents and one of the family dogs) so MTB hasn't been in the forefront of my life. I'm still not going to be riding as much as I would like at the beginning of 2025 as I'm trying to sort home life out! So what are my plans for 25? Well you'll have to wait and see !! But be assured I'll be out there progressing, moaning, laughing, moaning, falling off, moaning, beating my fastest times, moaning and definitely filming it all for your entertainment 😀 see you soon💪
