Not sure everywhere gets this channel (42 here) but World's greatest MC rides seems to be on continuous loop at 8pm, however there's a new one to me on now - John o'groats to Landsend.
You missed Scotland until next re-run, but Lakes, Pennines and further south tonight.

I quite enjoyed Scotland until he started mucking about tossing cabers (sp?)

Also get it on Sky and Freesat (I think).

They seem to repeat all of his stuff regularly so doesn't matter if you miss one. Problem is that Henry is not the most inspiring presenter, a bit dull most of the time. Some of the rides he has done are interesting though.

Yeah he's a tad annoying, the episodes where he road the route 66 were good.

The New Zealand one is quite good.

I had my photo taken with him at the bike show (I didn't actually know who he was Embarassed )

The only interesting bit of Route 66 is the twisty bit north of Oatman. There are much more interesting places to ride in the States.

Maybe so. He actually kept getting lost and turning off route 66 as he said it was so badly signposted.

In contrast I caught the Australian coast route ride.
Looked a little tedious riding.
So apart from a tick in a box to say done it didn't inspire me to go out of my way and make any effort to do that.

Some of his other stuff has though!
The John O'Groats to Lands End where he didn't go direct but down the west side was good. The midlands bit was a bit boring but hard to see a route around there that wouldn't involve putting on the miles via motorway.

Henry Cole's another slapped arse who gets on my tits. I don't think he fully appreciates that most blokes and lasses with a bike would give their right arm to get the opportunities he has handed on a plate to him. Same with fucking Boorman Mad

If you really are going to head from JOG to LE then hug the coast from the North through central Wales, it's beautiful. I'd then go right along that South Wales coast from Haverfordwest to Caldicot, Chepstow and maybe up to Gloucester.

Plus 1.
If anything Henry Cole is ten times worse than Boorman, at least Boorman knows the front from the back.
