Nice one and great footage of the ride. That Staircase is a killer, but the reward of the roads and views after well worth the effort.

@BeardonaBike Ай бұрын

Totally agree with you the roads after are just amazing wish I had more time to soak it all in.

Cracking video Aky and well done for finishing. I was in the palace jersey at the end, would love to see the unedited footage of us giving you a pull home. Would you be able to share it ?

Nice one mate, great to see you there. Our ride times were only 4 minutes apart. Those hills were amazing! Also...damn...you've put it online...😂

@BeardonaBike Ай бұрын

Oh really I just pootled round to be honest other than the last 5 miles ish that was a bit of a work out with the Rapha Palace guys. I was expecting the hills to be a bit more brutal but a great day out nonetheless. See you at the Facey 50’s don’t be a 🐓

@CycletheNation Ай бұрын

@@BeardonaBike yeah, I spent a lot of it on my own TBH, but the legs still felt decent at the end despite me blowing up (energy levels). I'm actually booked in at Santa Pod that weekend already, crewing with a mate in his drag car. 🤦

Yeah I had a moment I usually do, I think it’s lack of sleep. Routine gets thrown off, but I’ve noticed I usually bounce back. I stopped with the gels and had plain water and savoury snacks last 1/3rd

It was just a bit miserable with the weather, it warmed up half way through though. It’s hard to tell how hard to push yourself if you’ve not done any of the climbs before. May give it another crack next year

How is Bwlch Bryn Rhudd pronounced?

@faftastic Ай бұрын

@@BeardonaBike Bwlch = Bull-ch (ch like Scottish Loch), Bryn rhymes with Grin. Rhydd is Rh like in Rhino, the Y is an 'ee' sound, and DD is like the 'th' in There. Fantastic effort - I was out on my eMTB and saw lots of you flow past for the very last descent off the Bwlch.
