@kiwicrest3743 What !! 😉 It is just a GoPro that picks up everything around it , so it can get muffled here and there. Thankyou for watching 👍

Thankyou @theralphster8492.🙂 I was definitely a good day to be out and about on the bike 😎

I dipped my toe in @fucktheworld., pity the route didn't pass along the waterfront.. Thanks for watching 👍 🙂

Audax is generally long distance cycling, but they start at 50km and go up 1000km and beyond. You can find more information on the Audax UK site. Thanks for watching Ossie👍

@@user-mm4yt9qz6x 👍Thankyou Nigel 😉

Thankyou @rob9753👍 Don't worry I'm always ready to put my feet up and have a sit down afterwards. I'm sure you'll be fine with going up to 200km as165km/100miles is not to be sniffed at , so hat's off to you . Might see you on the road 😉

Thanks @pikefisher1978, 👍 You've have some me nice roads in your area to cycle on. Best of luck with your cycling and getting fitter

I called it that and few other names on the way up 😉

Thanks Ian 👍 It's a Giant Defy advanced 2 , which is on the Shimano 105 . I've swapped the the wheels and Crank to some Hunts alloy and GRX . I also use a alloy cannondale synapse

Thanks Russ 👍 The mount is the official Gopro handlebar/ Ski pole mount. I've tried the ebay ones and they're cheaper, but they rattle. I use a Gopro 9 on 1080hd , linear setting with horizon lock and stabilisation on. I don't use the boost. Hope this helps

@@Bijou-Bob Thanks mate, it helps massively. I'll have a look at my settings and check out that mount. The wife will hate me for buying more gadgets 😂😂

Pleasure Russ

You know how it is with the weather Nigel 😉

Thankyou Jez 👍 Great to hear you liked it

Stopping to put the rain jacket on isn't loitering , but is dangerous as it could lead to it if you're not careful 😉.

@@Bijou-Bob Yep, thin end of the wedge.

Yes! it's a slippery slope alright 👍

It was the same Sunday as your Berwyns ride which I've looked at to ride in the future at some point Sorry to hear about you being unlucky with the tyre , but at least your buddy was lucky getting back before the downpour hit. Yes! that Darwin liked to keep it in the family . 😉

Sue the council for the damage to your bike. If everybody sued the councils for the damage to their vehicles caused by these god awful roads then the government and the council would start to maintain them.

​@@MrChippiechappie I am tempted to be honest. At the very least I think they have to repair them if reported. The poor state of the roads really takes a lot of the enjoyment out of riding at the moment.

Thanks👍 The downpour was that heavy that I don't think any gear would have kept the rain out

You're right there 😉 Always take your waterproof with you

I've seen a couple of people on flatbar hybrids riding audaxs, but a road bike is probably best for comfort and speed. Audax rides start at 50km so you could start there to get a feel for them👍. I haven't done bike/kit film, I might in the future 🤔 Give it a go , I'm sure you'll like it

Thankyou 👍 Overnight and into late Sunday afternoon. Don't worry I knew I'd done it by the time we reached the end. 😉

Thankyou 👍 I don't know how I do the the miles either😉 There are plenty who do them faster than me too.

Yes Paul 👍 Mike and Terry provided a sanctuary in the middle of a cold dark night 🫖☕️🙂

Cheers Nigel 👍, You played your part nicely 🙂

Cheers Garry 👍 Nice to know you enjoyed watching 🙂

Thankyou 👍 It'll be nice to see you again

Cheers Nigel 👍 It was a good day out, but no so much for Mike's support stockings 😉

Unlucky Christopher 🤦, it's a nice route. Sometimes if you message the organiser they can get you on as they have people who let them know they can't ride.👍

@fucktheworld1207 Don't think he meant to lead us up the garden path 😉

Appreciated 👍

I might take you up on that offer 😉👍

Cheers Craig 👍 I'm sure you'll be fine with your 1st Audax, Enjoy 🙂

@markhammond8933 Thankyou Mark 👍 Nice to hear you like them 🎥 There's always next time for PBP , if I qualify 😉

Thanks Kathryn🙂👍

Thankyou Nigel🙂 Mike was filling me in on some of your exploits on PBP during the ride, ( I was following you both on the tracker)Hat's off and a Merry Christmas to you 🎅

You're right 🚦🙄 James No excuses 😉

No worries (I do too) . I asked because I am just starting (about to start) doing audaxs at the age of 57! I have signed up for LEL and wondeered how fast typical audax cyclist go (I am slow). I am from a running background - so all the people on my Strava are runners. Thanks for the videos - it is all very informative :) @@Bijou-Bob

Thankyou @sandykeith5652 🙂 Nice to know you have enjoyed watching

Hopefully not Richard, its not guaranteed though 😉

@@Bijou-Bob it never dawned on my it's actually your event until I emailed you just now. 😁

@@BikepackingAdventures You're right Richard it is😉 Hopefully get to have chit chat with you at some point on Sunday.

Thanks @theralphster8492👍 The weather put a stop to any loitering taking place 😉
