Another quality video and thanks for sharing Alan. 👌 Your eyes took on that haunted look at Scarborough that only those of us who’ve ridden Audax type miles will understand! 🥱😴 As for your front brake, do you know a good bike mechanic? 😉😁 Keep ‘em coming mate and thanks again.

Thanks so very much! Yeah - it was a tough cookie this one. Type two fun in places and type one too. I now have Hope brakes as I blame the guy who didn’t service the old brakes enough 😂😂 Thanks for watching. I’ve been having a bit of a break whilst I’ve been training for the HT550 for this year. 😀

You, Sir, are a natural storyteller... or a very well practised one. Either way, this is the only 30min+ indy video that's ever held my attention on KZfaq - immensely enjoyable and inspiring. I took notes throughout, and will now be taking a spare derailleur hanger with me!!! Congratulations on an awe inspiring ride and an equally awesome video. You guys rock!!!

Hello, Awesome video! I will spend 2 weeks in Iceland at the end of July. I will hike the Laugavegur trail (4-5 days) and will also bring my gravel bike but I doubt I will about to do your route since some part already looks rough on a mtb. Do you think it's feasible and could you share your route map? Thanks
@AllenBoardman
@AllenBoardman Ай бұрын
Hi! Thank to so very much for watching. I’m pleased you enjoyed it! Your trip sounds incredible! Your gravel bike will be faster on the smoother sections, but easier to push / carry when it’s too rough. If the gravel bike is the only bike you have, just take it as not every section is rideable anyway. I’m more than happy to share the route with you, send me a message on Instagram and I’ll send you a WeTransfer link :) Thanks again, Allen.

Give the traditional rain gear a go Allen - a quality bike cape with hood - gaiters and waterproof foot ware or plastic bags / overshoes. The secret is to anchor down the cape by sitting on it, then pull up a bit so its not too tight on your back, the front has hand stirrups which anchor the front end ( extra flap right at the front goes over the handlebars and protects the hands ) I cycle all day in the rain with this setup - up here in "sunny" Scotland. Gives great rain protection and ventilation, haven't found a better way. All the best and thanks for sharing your trips.
