Nice to meet you Cade.. thanks for visiting us in store.. have a great day in Malaysia

This is what i've missed on this channel for a LONG time, actually out on the bike vlogging, looking very forward to this!

I live in Bali now. Just down a bit from Malaysia.This is the hot season now. I try to finish my rides by 11:30 so I don't die from heat stroke. You're all mad riding in that heat. Can't wait for the rest of your adventure. Well done, all of you. Stay safe

Hey guys fellow Malaysian 🇲🇾 here my advice would be to start early before sunrise around 5.30 or 6 am, that's what we local cyclist normally do during this time year (Spring Equinox) . Because its really hot atm! 35 to 37c. Enjoy the journey!

I love these bikepacking vlogs. More please

So glad the travel vlogs are back! This is peak Francis Cade content

Bloody hell, this is the best thing I’ve seen on KZfaq in months. Can’t wait for the rest of this.

Finally, the channel has returned to the reason we subscribe 👏

these bikepacking videos are always the greatest, can't wait to virtually go along on this adventure with you guys

The toothbrush just tipped it for me! Pure dead magic!

Yes!!! Love your bikepacking adventures, pumped for this new one.

Been way too long since I’ve heard you say you love cycling. Pumped for the week ahead! Enjoy lads.

As someone from SEA, I'd wear a long sleeved shirt to cover from the heat. Not aero, but I'd take that than the heat.

Finally, bikepacking vlogs are back! Can't wait for the next episode!

scorching weather now.. please keep hydrated guys!!

The King is back!!!🎉 no one makes cycling vlogs like you mate, literally on another level ❤

I have missed these bikepacking adventures

Really nice to see Lawrence back on the channel.

Delighted to see this type of content. Studio talk can be interesting enough but this is what people who ride love to see.

Epic so glad your doing bike packing vids again

This video is pretty much how I feel biking here daily. My advice, avoid the sun as much as you can. Ride early, before sunrise and ride late, after sunset. And drink way more than you need.

Great content. Malaysian climate is bonkers hot . Spent a week there without a bike then but walked and hiked through the mountains. I wished for rain daily .

The climb you guys did is typically done on mountain bikes with 50T dinner plate cog at the rear.

I remember, being a bike enthusiast myself in Europe, moving to Singapore. Took my bicycle out for a spin around Singapore island the second day. Did a 85km tour. Next days I spent visiting the gp and hospital for burnt parts of my body. After that got home, went to bed and didnt get out for 3 straight days. Heatstroke, burnt all over and learnt my lesson: SE Asia isn't Europe. This land is not for cycling, other than during the night. I now live in Kuala Lumpur these days and never ever would touch a bicycle again here in the tropics. It's just madness, really. But still enjoying the video. Keep it up, you crazy bunch!

Love it! You guys rock. Road trips are worth living for!

I’ve spent a lot of time in Malaysia with my previous job, got quite a few friends in Penang and KL, such a lovely lovely country, I love it there. Beautiful people.

Great to see guys on the road again🎉. Hopefully Japan is you future destination.

Can’t wait to spend every second with these two 🍋

This was epic! Loved every second!

Wearing white arm sleeves help under the hot sun. I even had very thin face scarf during my ride from JB to Malacca ( 240km - that's a nice route with less traffic).

Im so glad you’re doing an adventure again! Joint the channel during the first trip with James

I missed the vlogs soo much. Iam really interested on how these ?combo" brakes will keep up.

Love CM,and just finished the US trip series ,I'm well looking forward to this week, also just watched Bens vlog, first class guys. You 3 stay safe.

You guys are absolutely barmy. The traffic, humidity, temperature, puffa jackets… best of luck for the rest of your trip and I’m looking forward to watching! All the best from neighbouring Singapore!

Welcome to Malaysia, I have been following your channel for quite awhile and today I am very proud plus still can't believe you guys in my country Malaysia

In that kind of heat, you need to be drinking at least a litre of fluids per hour. You should also take electrolytes before and after your ride. I am guessing you did neither but this would have made things easier. It is very easy to get heatstroke in these conditions. Lived and cycled in Thailand for 20 years so have some experience with this.

Im from the Philippines and Its the hot season or summer now here in Southeast Asia. Hoping that you guys will be able to overcome and adapt to the weather somehow for the following days and ride safe always!

great to see you back on a bike backing trip.

So glad the bikepacking series are back. Your videos are the reason I’m starting my bikepacking journey this year

Most videos of the Penang loop cycle start long before sunrise, just to get a bit of cooler temps (25C, Baltic) and avoid peak hour traffic in town. Well done for doing the harder option!

My goodness u guys actually brought the puff jacket !!

Thank you for taking this Yank lady along. looks like great fun.

Awesome video. Everyone was missing this cade. I was once in badu pahat walking as an European on the street and everybody stated from their AC cars thinking I was mad to be out in the heat... Keep hydrated!

Great to have folks back on a road trip ! 👏👏👏. Heat. Humidity. Trials. Tribulations. Mint !

I just love when you take these trips. And I remember that a few weeks ago I was also heat striken on the bike, but it was worth the one day trip on 35 - 38°C

Strongly recommend you wear a light cotton head sock to protect your neck and head (the sun will burn your head through the helmet vents!) from direct sunlight. Soak it in cold water at every opp, Will prevent you dying from heat stroke in SE Asia's hottest season. Nice vid!

I’m only 30 seconds in and this already looks like an awesome Top Gear/Grand Tour style special! Loving this! 👌🏻

I'm from Malaysia but now residing in Chengdu, China where the bicycling culture here in Chengdu is well and very much alive. One word of advice when bicycling in Malaysia, hydrate, hydrate and hydrate. You can easily get overheated and dehydrated. Sun stroke is a very real danger. Stay safe. I rode 3,180km on my motorcycles in 3 days and that was hard work.

we've just ridden from Penang to Selama, Ipoh, Cameron Highlands, Selangor, Bukit Fraser and Bentong. We timed it to slip out of Penang on the ferry to Butterworth early Sunday morning and seem to have been more judicious about how to carry stuff and when to shelter from the heat. Thanks for making us feel so sensible!

welcome to Malaysia! enjoy your stay. and also, drink lots of 100plus. it is similar to pocari sweat, but tastier.

Welcome to Penang! That steep climb is near the Ayer Itam dam..

The best of luck with this trip ☘️☘️☘️

This channel was built off the back of videos like this. Just great stuff. Much better than the weekly cycling gossip

I can feel the real Cades Vibes - 🎉🎉🎉

Exactly my point to ditch the puffer jacket on the introductory video. Welcome to Malaysia mate!

Excellent. Such great content. You three are entertaining as hell. Can’t tell you how much I enjoyed my 50F ride this morning after watching this.

Good stuff Francis, Ben and Laurence.

Great to see you guys out in Asia! I think it's really good for you UK guys (and a lot of US guys) to go around the world to see that there are actually a lot of people on the 2-wheel everyday. They are safe, sound and there isn't a genocide just by riding bikes along with cars. Bikes, e-scooters, trikes, all as a means of transportation rather than some exotic sports equipment. It's just sick to me to see a lot of people in UK like "OH, I can't ride there! So many cars! It must be so dangerous! I'll get killed!" even from experienced cyclist......

I have missed so many of these uploads and have so much catch-up to do. Going to go through this and then backtrack from the back through the uploads. LOL And yeah feel for you guys riding here in country Australia in summer its like riding in a hair dryer set to high.

Love it! As usual Lawrence is hilarious. Highly entertaining guys, thank you!

Lawrence doing chicken impression to shake sweat off had me in bits 😂

Been to Malaysia 25 years again bike touring from austrailia to cambodia, Hard going in the heat, to be honest at the pace you guys Go no fun at all, the Most fun and enjoyment for me was Meeting and spending time with local people... I now ride fast here in germany and have holidays where its warm.. 👍🏻

Watching you cycle in the heat reminds me of last year, where I cycled in 45°C and had to water my head every 1-2 km.

Welcome to Malaysia! Hope you have a great journey here

So pumped for this series!

6:42 made me laugh out loud. Good job guys what a ride

You can do ittttttt!!!! I'm rooting for you so you can't lost. This ride looks so beautiful. =)

Don’t forget that lots of riders do audexes in Malaysia during this season. Mistake one would be you folks riding without arm socks, and wearing dark coloured jerseys.

What a video. The adventures are back! Love to see it.

Penang Hill is a really brutal climb in that heat and humidity!!

What a great trip, guys! 👏 🔥

Love the vlogs, I enjoy the new parts of the channel as well, but it’s great to see some Vlogs back, just a messy boys trip. Awesome.

Day 1 Brutal …. How I’ve missed these adventures 😂😂😂😂👍

Well done, lads. Hope the roads weren’t too bad to cycle on. Weather around this time is hellishly hot and annoyingly humid, especially coming from UK weather. Have a safe trip! This first vlog for the trip deserves a ‘tabik’! (That’s a salute in Malay)🫡

Top content as per usual, I feel sweaty just watching this! Enjoy the trip.

The contrast in intensity between Ben and Lawrence makes everything more hilarious

I'm super happy to see you out, but totally feel for you with the climate and hills. I am now in the ozarks...either up or down

I love the group dynamics.

A kiwi here with two cents. Eat where the locals eat. Be careful with salads, often washed in less than clean water. Two work trips to penang island, couple weeks at a time. The only bloke to get food poisoning ate at american fast food.

YES!!! So excited to watch this

Man it surely doesn't make me miss the weather in the good ol hometown

This is what we want back from the channel. I miss the pre-Cade Media era.

Huzzah for Francis Vlogs, and added bonus having Ben along for the (literal) ride!

This is the sort of video that got me into your channel. Great to see it happening again! You really couldn't have picked a worse time to visit Malaysia, though... Go back in October or November. Ha! If you want some similar heat and a few leg sapping climbs, come and visit Korea in August. We can all melt together! 😂

im loving the bikevlog so far! looking forward to more! love from Malaysia 🇲🇾💕

Love the bike packing vlogs! I've missed them. Ben's tooth bush/comment made me laugh out loud! (Comedy gold)😂😂😂

Love it. Been missing the travel ride videos. But to go from England in winter to Malaysia to ride straight off the plane… ugh. 😅🤪. And seeing Francis hit a wall makes us all feel the heat. Keep it up

I’m happy you’re doing a trip!!

Finaly, A PROJECT ❤ big support and massive like 👍🏻👍🏻

Great to see just like the good old days !

Hitting steep hills in these temps heroes!

brilliant, also if you are able to, ride out as early as 4am~5am, intense heat in the 10am to mid afternoon. that's how most ride in se asia.

I don't know why, but this brought to mind that scene in the old comedy "The fall and rise of Reginald Perrin" when the car breaks down in the safari park, it gets surrounded by lions and the little girl says, "I done poopie-plops in my panties". Looking forward to day 2!

I hope you guys can visit the Philippines as well in the future. Have a great ride!

Brilliant. This is great!

Damn. Missed these proper cycling vlogs. Been too long.

Lived in Malaysia for ten years. Even brought a bike with me. Never once did the thought cross my mind that it would be a good day for a ride. The heat and humidity are not to be underestimated. Ask any Malaysian to name the best invention of all time, the universal answer is air conditioning. That said it is a wonderful place, especially the food and the people. Looking forward to adventure.

Good luck lads!

I thought you guys were exaggerating about the heat until I saw the melted toothbrush! 😂

This is brilliant, looking forward to following along in this ✌️
