I only use cateye now. Have done for several years. I use the volt 1700 on the front and two viz 450 on the back.

Strange, the RAC says it's the only circular motorway, I wonder what makes it different to the M25? Keep Smiling camped on his ride around the M25, not sure if he got any sleep with the traffic noise! I agree about finding roads you don't know but are quite local. I use CycleTravel to plan rides. If I can't think of a destination I use the 'suggest a ride' feature in the app. This has taken me down lanes and tracks I didn't know about, some less than a mile from home. It is always a surprise to me just how much green space there is around UK cities if you travel by bike. Thanks again for the video.

Another great video. The smug feeling of crossing a motorway jammed up will never get old.

Great ride! Enjoyed the video. 👍🇦🇺

Great video matey. Started in my childhood town. Got me thinking to maybe try this but via all the roads

Leaving things to Komoot will always give you an adventure. A great video and undoubtedly Mission Accomplished.

Great video it's good to have no cars around you just the sound of the bike.

Errrr ........... isn't the M25 around greater London also a circular motorway with no start nor end?

That looks a great ride , especially as your local to me. Might have to give that a go myself

Thanks for kindling memories. Great route, first did it in 1963 with a pal, car sleeping in my old VW Beetle! Deserted roads, fuel availability sparse, had tomato soup from my kettle on Durness beach in brilliant sunshine at 3am, was mid June! Roger in Spain 77

Another great idea. Next time I come back to the UK I might try this route. Do you have a GPX of the route by any chance?

Something I discovered while doing The Cantii way ,Is if you want to edit your route while on a route ,you can via mobile data on the app but you must turn off syncing permissions with what ever app you use Komoot etc ,the after you've changed your route ,rename it & re sync .If you don't it will update on the app but not the device .

How long is the seatpost? And it's size? 28.6, 31.8 whatever? We've all got bike shops we're not crazy about.

You mentioned using or losing your local bike shop which is spot on but when the local bike shop becomes a bike boutique as my one did you end up doing everything yourself. I ride an old, but expensive in the day, bike and they just stopped being interested in fixing basic things like brakes and shifting problems. I'm lucky as I worked as a mechanical engineer so bikes are (were) simple machines and it's basic stuff. Having said this it did mean quite an expense buying special tools. With electronic shifting becoming more affordable I'm out of my depth. it seems you need a laptop rather than a spanner to adjust them so I'll stick with cables. Did you find out if the cyclist recovered OK? Thanks for sharing your thoughts.

That sounds like a fair assessment, all the more because you've stumped up your own cash to buy it. I rode a folder years ago and found the narrowness of the handlebars made it feel very twitchy. I think they have a place for mixing public transport with a bike use and for those unlucky to have nowhere to store a bike. The Brompton has a huge following and I watch a couple of You tubers who camp and tour for long distances so as people say 'you can tour on any type of bike'. Thanks for the video, they're always interesting

Nice review. I would love to know how it performs in intense light. Was your old Wahoo easy to see on very sunny days when navigating? Obviously a hugely important feature for me here in Thailand. Take care and safe cycling. Jay

The problem I have with both Garmin and Wahoo is that the screens are tiny and I'm 48 years old with typical long-sightedness for my age. I tried to use a Garmin Edge 530 for a while but I couldn't read the navigation so I kept making wrong turns. I'm now back to using my phone and have given the Edge to my son 🥺

I’m new to Wahoo are these computers subscription free.

Nice review mate!

Got a bolt v2 recently having used a phone and back up battery for 18 months. Out of the box I was a little concerned it seemed tiny in comparison to the phone, but in use the information is easily read and flicked between, I particularly like the climb mode that pops up, also when the heart rate starts going up it changes colour so you can call A&E quickly 😊. A noticeable difference is that sun glare isn’t an issue and it’s easier to flick between tunes if you listen to music. Overall It’s intuitive to use so doesn’t need a lot of instruction reading and I am pleased with my purchase. Trying to think of a negative, but the more I use it the less negatives I find. Already Looking to get a radar to link as I am sick of looking behind myself constantly.

Never had a cycling computer 🖥 always carried the AA book Never let me down. Great video.

I’ve had the bolt v2 for 18months now. Cannot fault it, never let me down.

When I was deciding what GPS/bikecomputer headunit to get, the deciding factor to me was that for the Garmin 530 you didn't need to create an account on their website for it to use it. And back when it was either the wahoo or a Garmin, the decision for me was the Garmin. :)

Great review , who manufactures the Wahoo ? Thanks for sharing Martin 👏 👋

What sleeping bag are you using you mentioned superlite cheers

It wasnt low blood sugar. Your years if experience were kicking in, and telling you, ahead lies doom 😢

We are a party of four experienced, fit cyclists. We came, saw, bailed. Beautiful scenery. But for a normal rider, bloody impossible. Even if you were to finish it. You'd be hard put to say you actually enjoyed it!

I’m currently in a heated ‘discussion’ with Matt Page on his KZfaq channel regarding this route. He’s absolutely adamant that the TCW is not a technical bike route, nor is it something that can’t be completed by anyone with average fitness levels. I beg to differ. It’s hard, gruelling, and relentless for 90% of the time. I honestly struggle to think of sections I actually enjoyed, it’s that bad. Don’t believe any of these guides that show happy, smiley, untouched by mud or sheep shit individuals. It’s the stuff of nightmares if you time it wrong or get bad weather. The best thing to do and also what we did is to have backup routes planned to get to the same destination. Routes that follow nice quiet back roads instead of through muddy fields or gorse bushes etc.

Cracking little loop with a proper decompression aspect. Makes sense to go lightweight & rough it (within reason) for overnighters, had some great climbing bivis along those lines. Nowt wrong wi' pot noodles, lad.

People can view your video more than once. It's like saying "let's go back to those hills." Or "I'd like to go see the Pennines today." I ride my bike 7 days a week, sold my car afyer my wonderful wife of 42 years passed, and if I ain't riding.... ain't nobody driving. And if I do get slammed with an Arctic Blizzard, I simply go with Martin to the Yorkshire Dales for coffee, pudding, and a scenic 30 miles.

Thanks for the review! Love the honest feedback and footage of folding/unfolding. Would this be able to take a child seat at the rear? Been trying to find someone who did it.

Cheers mate 👍😊👏, Very good informative and instructions video... I have just purchased my first Wahoo Roam V2 and Kamoot 🌎 maps.. so really looking forward to plan some routes 😊👍🌞. Stay safe and have a good one, cheers from Denmark 😊👍👋🚴‍♂️..

Fantastic video as ever, keep up the good work! Have you decided to drop using a helmet totally? Must admit on a solo trip in the wilderness it's a must for me, bashed my head to many times not to 😂!

Fantastic video, really well put together. Beautiful scenery. Very well done 👍

thanks for the video

Where can i find the route looks fun

Wonderful. The opening song “Free” goes so well with the video and encapsulates why we do what we do. Well done Martin

Cracking ride and beautiful surroundings, thank you for taking the time to film and edit the video, I know it takes time. I live about 17 miles from the coast and can cycle 80% of the way there using tracks. I see more people riding bikes these days and whereas we never saw another cyclist we do now thanks to the explosion of people riding off-road ebikes. I'm not complaining really, I don't own the tracks and why shouldn't they get the same enjoyment as I do. You don't have to go miles to have a terrific ride as you've shown but I like solitude away from people. Looking forward to your further adventures.

Any chance of a link to the route?

Is it not illegal or at least blasphemous in the UK to own any folding bike that is not a Brompton? 😂😂. The Terns here (🇨🇦) are half to 2/3 cheaper than Bromptons. I do like my B7 but find Bromptons smoother. Seems to be a crankarm length or chainrings size fir me. However Terns are well made, ride well, and are fun, all with regular, shop accessible parts.

I thoroughly enjoyed that. Thanks for posting. Kenny, Arkansas USA

Just catching up with your adventures fella, blimey you’ve been busy. Great video and as always fantastic scenery. Not so sure about the Pot Noodle though 😉

Very cheerful video as always.

Lovely video and great music Martin, I can certainly tell that you're enjoying your cycling and the beautiful Yorkshire dales, great camp thanks for sharing 👏👋

Stunning views, especially that sunset.

Sad to see The Crown is for sale.

I really enjoyed that opening music, I keep Shazam at the ready to identify a song, send it to myself and enjoy it again later. You seem to be able to put the perfect tunes at the right place. I think you missed the British Concorde at 2:45... clouds. Thanks for the great videos, your work is really worth it.

Had the weather for it recently, lovely.

What Boardman are you riding? Not sure about going full road or the Boardman ADV because of road conditions and also ability to gravel. thank you and keep the content coming, fantastic stuff.

There was.no ranting. With the low life's wanting to angle grind locks off in broad daylight then safe locations help the cycling community and people who want to use cycling more in their daily lives.
