A Welsh end-to-end-to-end to end my training for Bristol-Glasgow-Bristol next month. That's a lot of hy-phe-ns. Glorious weather. Absolute audax scenes from Chepstow Menai and back.

Enjoyed that, thanks. I was out that weekend and it brought back lots of memories. Same for me getting a crap nights sleep on Friday, especially with the 4am start.

Why does sleep never come easily when you need it most?

Well done. I really enjoy your videos. They help keep me sane when I can’t ride my bike.

Ahh, thanks Julia! I sometimes question why I film my rides (essentially to entertain myself) so comments like this are a welcome surprise. Thank you 🥰

Truly fantastic effort, but when you said it was 4.30 in the morning my body froze like it was doing going down the A5 on Saturday morning. Such a shame you're not lining up on the 2nd July, you'd love it. Chapeau Mr Jennings

I'm not sure I'd "love" the PCR. Just like I'm not sure I'm going to "love" BGB. Type 2 all the way I think.

I've been cycling since maybe 8 yrs old, Im now 62 and was out on the bike today, great ride, did 54 miles. If I tried to do this run, in you're vid, I would fucking die.

Somehow, I missed commenting on the Dambusters, never mind! Though that’s a lot of money for a front wheel repair? and let’s have a review on Mr L’s new bike by the man himself get him on camera not forgetting the gears sizes for both bikes also have you both had T bars on other vlogs or are they new for BGB don’t scold if I am wrong, it’s an old farts thing forgetting that is! Best regards and great content South/Shrop Dave.

@SaddleSore Жыл бұрын

It was a rear wheel Dave, which meant more of Giant’s proprietary (expensive) spokes. Actually a pretty good deal from Joey when you factor in the cost of parts. As for a full bike review, I’ll ask on your behalf. Tri bars were new to me last year, Damian has used them for years.

@davidsmith9235 Жыл бұрын

@@SaddleSore Did't sey but well done and I get the expense, I have had a new set for the summer bike and one Frt for the winter bike, if your on the T bars for a long time can this make you feal sick with being so low? regards Dave.

@seanmorris1103 Жыл бұрын

chapeau that man. What an epic ride. you were gunning it as well past LLyn Llweydog, warp speed. I don't know how you keep your good humour so well. Or is there a knee deep pile of angry swearing on the cutting room floor?

@SaddleSore Жыл бұрын

Gunning it is where it’s at baby. I’m rubbish going up, better going down (that’s what she said)! There’s very little that ends up on the floor… I’ve become very adept at making sure the camera isn’t rolling when the conversation turns blue! Mon!!
