Hi my name is Benjamin Copeland also known as The rookie cyclist
I’m a father of 2 boys and a hairdresser by trade but during lockdown, whilst teaching my 4 yr old boy to cycle I found I couldn’t keep up with him, so I got myself a bike, started smashing the miles out and the rest is history, I’ve become a cycling fanatic, I'm not quite a rookie anymore but I am always learning hence the name, so join me on my cycling journey involving, friends, hill climbs, coffee, cakes & plenty of laughs.
Please subscribe & follow ✌️and thanks for taking a look 👀

Good morning guys, just a quick post for you. I’ve taken the last 2 weeks out to focus on family, work and myself. Filming and editing can be quite taxing in and amongst every day life, as you know I run my own business and have a busy life away from cycling so from time to time I need a timeout. I’ve ridden a few times recently and not filmed and that has been really enjoyable too where I haven’t needed to capture anything but just enjoy it in the moment as it were. I think creatively it’s just important to take a little break from time to time.
Anyway, just to let any of you who were wanting to know I’ll be back to it next week after my rest up feeling a bit more recharged and ready. Thanks guys and have a great weekend 🤟🤟

Afternoon all, currently working on this summer solstice ride/video 11 hours and 270km!! I have around 1.5 hours worth of footage to work through and I'm getting there. Part one will be coming this week, was hoping to publish last night but taking a little longer due to family, life etc and I want it to look 👌 so thanks for being patient, thanks to everyone who subscribes and who has recently subscribed. Every single subscriber fuels me to get these videos out and I love it so thank you 🙏🙏

No videos this week guys, forgive me, family life taking first place 🥇 but back to it next week!!! Thank you to everyone that has subscribed, it takes time to piece together these videos and I really enjoy doing them. I’m only 10 or so weeks in so I’m thankful to each and every one of you. Enjoy the rest of your week ✌️🤘
